As one of the leaders of the National Center for Literacy Education, Darren Cambridge directed research on school-wide capacity building for literacy learning. Drawing on both a national survey and in-depth interviews with approximately 100 teachers and school leaders, we demonstrated that educators believe standards implementation leads to better results for students when the organizational conditions that support collective capacity building are in place.

Research on Eportfolios, Lifelong Learning, and Assessment

I conducted empirical and theoretical research on eportfolios and learning, with a particular emphasis on higher education and lifelong learning contexts, for over a decade. This work is synthesized in Eportfolios for Lifelong Learning and Assessment (Jossey-Bass, 2010), which won the Digital Media and Learning Faculty Writing Prize from the MacArthur Foundation in 2012.
