This article highlights four ongoing projects in educational psychology: a longitudinal study of adult learning, an analysis of productivity in educational psychology, the development of Parentsreview.org, and the REsearchMentor program. The longitudinal study reveals that low-education adults benefit from extensive literacy practices at home and work, which correlates with higher literacy skills. Additionally, the productivity research identifies top-ranking institutions and contributors in the field. The article also discusses a video project aimed at addressing safety issues for LGBT students in schools.
