Item Building Research Programs on a Foundation of Equity(2022-09-23) Michelle Tiu; Adam Smith; Debbra Lindo; Jeannette Franklin; Jenny Bradbury; Karin LangeItem Centering Student and Educator Voice and Expertise in Inclusive, Equity-Centered Research and Development(2023-04-13) Aubrey Francisco; Karin Lange; Adam Smith; Maria Benzon; Allison DePiro; Caroline Hornburg; Amanda Mayes; Audrey Diaz; Danielle Letts; Sandra KunzeInclusive R&D is an equity-centered, inclusive process for developing innovative research programs in partnership with students, educators, families, and communities. This symposium will showcase specific results of two R&D projects - CueThinkEF+ and Our Mathematical World - and an analysis of six projects actively engaging students and educators in Inclusive R&D. The CueThinkEF+ team will share the process and outcomes of deeply integrating teacher expertise as they sought to develop and improve a web-based learning system focused on rich mathematics problem solving and discourse. Then, the Our Mathematical World team will share their journey in the development of a mathematics curriculum overlay in which 3rd-5th grade students design stories that center themselves as strong mathematical problem solvers.Item Fueling an Inclusive R&D Approach to Education Research and Development(2022-10-17) Melina Uncapher; Aubrey Francisco; Enid Rosario; Karin Lange; Debbra Lindo; Tyron Young; Andres Bustamante; Karina Rodriguez; Diana TorresItem Strengthening Executive Function Skills in Mathematics via Equity Approaches: An Overview - and an Opportunity(2023-11-08) Megan Brunner; Debbra Lindo; Curtis Taylor; Luis TorresResearch suggests that strengthening students’ executive function within math contexts leads to gains in mathematics achievement. So, how can you support students’ executive function skills during math instruction? In this Charter Schools Development Center conference session, EF+Math, a program of non-profit education organization the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF), will provide participants an overview of executive function skills in mathematics, along with best practices for their development. Then, EF+Math will share a set of curricular approaches designed with and for teachers, which have shown improvements in students’ executive functioning and math learning in grades 3-8. Attendees will have the opportunity to join EF+Math as part of their ongoing research and development efforts to improve student learning in equitable and inclusive ways, including access to these tools and partnership with the EF+Math community.Item Toward Breakthrough Outcomes with Inclusive Research and Development(2021-08) Melina Uncapher; Curtis Taylor; David WebbOur nation’s students deserve access to high-quality instruction and tools that support their academic and social emotional development; however, we lack the infrastructure to connect rigorous research with real-world educators and developers who can build useful and usable tools that can be adopted at scale. The EF+Math Program is creating a novel infrastructure for rich collaboration between researchers, educators, and developers to build educational tools that are grounded in rigorous research and designed to find solutions to the most persistent educational inequities in math classrooms. Through our model of Inclusive R&D, we draw on the assets of research, practice, and design to bridge the gap between learning science and classroom practice. The goal of EF+Math is to dramatically improve math outcomes for students in grades 3–8, with a focus on Black and Latinx students and students living in poverty, by strengthening executive functioning skills. We hypothesize that building equitable math learning tools requires an equitable process of discovery and development. Inclusive R&D is an equity centered and inclusive process for developing innovative programs, which utilizes a set of principles and practices to center students, educators, families, and communities that are often left out of research methods and of other human-centered design methods. Inclusive R&D brings people together to ideate, build, and iterate together in an ongoing feedback loop that removes the silos between discovery, development, and adoption. In sharing our story in this International Mind, Brain, and Education Society Conference session, our hope is that you identify opportunities for your own work in bridging research and practice, as we collectively make progress towards breakthrough outcomes for students.
