To promote the goals of the University of Florida Lastinger Center for Learning, publications illustrate milestones, achievements, and research that improve the quality of teaching, learning and childcare.
Strategic Plans
2022 – 2025
Under the leadership of Dr. Phil Poekert, the Lastinger Center strategically narrowed its scope in 2018 to address three critical developmental milestones: kindergarten readiness, reading proficiency by third grade, and Algebra 1 proficiency by ninth grade. Our focus on the development of scalable, high-impact programs set the stage for exponential growth and launched the center into a new era of improving teaching, learning, and childcare and advocating for meaningful and substantive innovation in the education system.
