Douglas Mosher | Doctoral Candidate and Research Assistant

Doug Mosher studies literacy interventions for elementary school students. He is particularly interested in vocabulary development for students in the early grades and whether strong vocabulary instruction can foster a love of language. Additionally, he is interested in the ways students acquire domain knowledge through reading and how students transfer this knowledge to other conceptual domains. Prior to beginning his doctoral studies, Doug worked for Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools as a first-grade teacher.
