The Creative Destination and The NYU Literacy, Technology, And Culture Lab

The goal of the NYU Literacy, Technology, and Culture Lab is to promote literacy in non-traditional and informal spaces to find how and where kids may be learning and gaining the literacy skills they need to succeed in life. The lab aims to evaluate these spaces with top quality and ethical research practices, attentive to each new situation encountered.

Upon the completion of literacy-promoting multipurpose rooms, The Creative Destination collects data on the benefits of these positive learning environments that are analyzed by the NYU Literacy, Technology and Culture Lab.

The ROAR

Founder Ryland Adzich is the Project Manager for a small school in the Tenderloin. She is managing a partnership with the Stanford University Brain Development and Education Lab to provide dyslexia/reading assessment tests to low-income students.

The Rapid Online Assessment of Reading is an ongoing academic research project and online platform for assessing foundational reading skills. The ROAR is a suite of measures; each is delivered through the web browser and does not require a test administrator. The ROAR rapidly provides highly reliable indices of reading ability consistent with scores on other standardized reading assessments.
