Chris Schatschneider

Chris Schatschneider serves as Professor and Associate Director of the Florida Center for Reading Research at Florida State University, focusing on reading development and learning disabilities research.

His educational background includes:

• Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University (1995)

His research spans Educational psychology, Learning disabilities, and Reading development, emphasizing early identification of at-risk readers through skill assessment. He maintains a strong focus on quantitative methodologies including hierarchical linear modeling and item response theory for educational measurement.

Publication trends (2013-2024) reveal dual emphases: genetic/environmental influences on reading (via Florida Twin Project analyses) and methodological innovations in assessment design and statistical modeling for educational research.

No scientific awards were documented in the source material.

He mentors undergraduates through DIS programs involving Zoom-based data collection for reading experiments, though graduate recruitment is inactive for Fall 2024. Grant details were not specified.

The Schatschneider Lab operates within the Florida Center for Reading Research, investigating reading skill development, disability prediction, and advanced quantitative methods through collaborative university-wide initiatives.
