LEAP Lab

The LEAP (Learning, Exploring, and Advancing Psychometrics) Lab was established in 2021 and is located in the Mary Frances Early College of Education at the University of Georgia. We are a team of researchers interested in psychometrics, educational measurement and assessment, and quantitative methodologies with a focus on applications in educational research. We emphasize the L-E (learning and exploring) in all lab activities, including applied and methodological research, qualitative fieldwork, professional development, conference travel, and interviews with various scholars. Contact me if you are interested in getting involved with the lab.
