This study will be an extension of Dr. Wang’s dissertation work where she primarily focused on the longitudinal relationship between the neural basis of phonological awareness and word reading skills. This dissertation work provided systematic neural evidence clarifying the mechanism of why phonetic training facilitates word reading. She hopes that this new neural study can address whether semantic knowledge is crucial in the early stage of word reading and if so\, what the mechanism could be. Dr. Wang is currently working on a pre-registration for this paper and has not yet looked at the data\, she welcomes any suggestions/critics about the idea formation\, hypotheses\, and data analyses plan. This study is based on an existing Open Dataset on monolingual English-speaking children. In the next years after her Ph.D. students on board\, she is interested in collecting pilots and exploring the longitudinal interaction between language skills (e.g.\, phonology and semantics) and reading skills in multilingual populations. Any collaborations are also welcome. \n\n\n\nJin Wang is an assistant professor in the department of education at UCLA started July 2024. She earned her Ph.D. in the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt University’s Peabody College in 2022 and did her post doc at Harvard Graduate School of Education. Her research focuses on language development in children from infancy to early elementary years and its relations to reading skills using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). \n\n\n\nPlease direct questions to Dr. Deborah Southern\, desouth@ucla.edu URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/early-career-scholar-series-presenter-jin-wang-ph-d-and-advanced-career-scholar-facilitator-maryanne-wolf-ph-d/ LOCATION:UCLA Moore Hall\, Room 3320 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Early-Career-Scholar-Series-Presenter-Jin-Wang-Ph.D.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250610T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250610T180000 DTSTAMP:20260418T035633 CREATED:20250523T024026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250523T024026Z UID:19869-1749571200-1749578400@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:UCLA Ed&IS Alumni Reception 2025 DESCRIPTION:You are cordially invited to the UCLA School of Education & Information Studies Spring Alumni Reception.

Join other educators in the greater Los Angeles area who put students center stage. The UCLA Writing Project invites you to apply for our Summer Invitational Institute where you’ll be immersed in the teaching of writing. You will demonstrate your own prized practices\, learn from a wonderful group of colleagues\, and develop your own writing craft. Issues of social justice will be both the backdrop and foreground of our endeavors.  We’ll point to the intersection of race and language.  We’ll cultivate a space for educational dialogue centered on anti-racism and anti-racist teaching of writing. We’ll take advantage of curated resources\, spend the summer with kindred spirits who choose joy over cynicism. English\, social studies\, mathematics\, world language teachers\, and all teachers of multi-lingual learners—this Project is for all of us! \n\n\n\nWhat We’ll Do During the Invitational \n\n\n\n\nExperience workshops centered on what really works in our teaching of writing.\n\n\n\nWrite—in a variety of genres—and engage in a small writing group for attention\, appreciation and suggestions for the next draft.\n\n\n\nParticipate in a small-group Professional Literature Circle.\n\n\n\nCurate a collection of teaching strategies to reach ALL of our students.\n\n\n\nExplore what affirming our students’ gender identities means.\n\n\n\nEngage in critical conversations about combating anti-black racism in the classroom and in the teaching of writing.\n\n\n\nWe’ll make lifelong professional connections.\n\n\n\nLearn from colleagues who teach the full span of grade levels.\n\n\n\n\nUCLA Writing Project Fellowship URL:https://seis.ucla.edu/event/writing-project-summer-invitational-2025/ LOCATION:California CATEGORIES:Department of Education,Students ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://seis.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/Writing-Project-Summer-Invitational-2025.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250626T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20250626T163000 DTSTAMP:20260418T035633 CREATED:20250603T220909Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250603T225625Z UID:19954-1750951800-1750955400@seis.ucla.edu SUMMARY:UC|CSU Collaborative for Neuroscience\, Diversity\, and Learning Summer 2025 Webinar Series: The Science of Self-Regulation: Understanding Development and Supporting Growth DESCRIPTION:Join Dr. Jennie Grammer for an engaging session on the science of self-regulation—how we manage thoughts\, emotions\, and behaviors across childhood and adolescence. Drawing on research from neuroscience\, education\, and developmental psychology\, this talk will unpack the building blocks of self-regulation\, including executive functions\, emotion regulation\, and behavior. Dr. Grammer will explore how these skills develop over time\, how they’re shaped by context and individual differences\, and why they matter for learning\, behavior\, and well-being. Participants will leave with practical insights into how to support self-regulation through developmentally informed\, evidence-based strategies. \n\n\n\n\n Register Here!
