WVU Child Development Laboratory
(Nursery School)
The Child Development Laboratory (WVU Nursery School) is a unit of LSHD and is designed
to provide observational and hands-on experience for CEHS students majoring in
child development and family studies, curriculum and instruction, and other related
fields. Although it enrolls just 40 preschool children (with a wait list of many),
it has a tremendous service record to families, the University, and the community.
The staff provides parents with resources and information on child development
issues while serving as a professional development experience for more than 800
university students each year.
Program Evaluation and Research Center (PERC)
The CEHS Program Evaluation and Research Center (PERC) conducts research and
evaluation across a wide range of educational and social programs. PERC includes
the Advanced Analysis Laboratory where graduate students and faculty support each
other as they conduct research and evaluation. This provides real-world learning
contexts for students in graduate degree programs where research and evaluation
skills are critical.
Peer-to-Peer Learning Lab
The Peer-to-Peer Learning Lab utilizes peer assessment (often also called peer review) to conduct quantitative evaluation and to obtain qualitative feedback of a learner's performance by another learner of the same status.
