Laura Rychly

Laura Rychly (Ed.D., Georgia Southern University in Curriculum Studies) is an Associate Professor of Curriculum Studies at Augusta University in Augusta, Georgia. Her research interests revolve around ways to improve life in classrooms for teachers and students. This has taken the form of theorizing about teacher and learner agency, accountability to language, and improvisational theater in middle schools. A former middle school language arts teacher, she is especially committed to studying and sharing ways young adolescents interpret their schooling experiences and what they internalize as a result of the interactions they share with peers and adults in these contexts.
