Item A Framework for Equity Centered Co-Design(2022-03-04) Allison DePiro; Aris Winger; Sam Rhodes; Sheela SethuramanItem 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 Community Garden for Advanced Inclusive R&D Report Opportunity Studies 2023(2024) Garron Hillaire; Chris Liang-Vergara; Marisa Gomez; Yasmene Mumby; Malvika Bhagwat; Alex Casillas; Tadria Cardenas Rico; Dan Carroll; Leona Christy; Imani Goffney; Lacey Robinson; Awilda Rodriguez; Elena Sanina; Brian K.

For every student to emerge as a global leader, educational research and development (R&D) must follow new and boldly transformative practices. Greater transparency for pre-funded research ideas would make funding decisions more equitable, reduce redundant efforts, break down silos, and increase collaboration. Inclusive educational R&D can develop underrepresented leaders, protect their intellectual property, and help them pursue breakthrough ideas, which often emerge from uncommon conversations. When supported by community evaluation, Advanced Inclusive R&D can demonstrate promising levels of quality, craft, and potential impact. We gathered a passionate community of experts who are committed to reshaping education over the next 10 to 20 years. They became the AERDF Community Garden. Using our Advanced Inclusive R&D process, we uncovered research opportunities connected to three focus areas that affect educational inequity: income inequality, sustainable teaching, and student-centered learning. This report explains the process we used to identify fundable initiatives and includes six example Opportunity Studies. Knowledge is powerful. Advanced Inclusive R&D is a call to coordinate research efforts and expand our collective knowledge. We must work collaboratively to support all youth and the future of our nation.Item Creating Tools for Equitable Research and Development(2022-09-24) Melina Uncapher; Ryan Baker; Yun-En Liu; Richard Prather; Geetha Ramani; Adam SmithThe EF+Math Program supports four Applied Research teams developing new tools for assessing and monitoring executive functioning and math skills for use in the field. Technical innovations developed by the Applied Research teams are meant to be modular solutions that can work across multiple learning systems and make student learning visible to guide actionable next steps for learning. Further, these innovations are specifically designed to increase the capacity of developers to provide reliable and useful data for Black students, Latinx students, and all students experiencing poverty. This panel discussion at the Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness conference features a moderator from the EF+Math Program, researchers from the four Applied Research teams, and the EF+Math Program’s Designing for Equity Manager, as they share their process in designing these new tools through an equity lens.Item Developing Education Products with Equity at the Center: Learnings from the EF+Math Program(2021) EF+Math ProgramItem 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 Improving Math Learning with Executive Function Skills and Inclusive R&D(2023-10-24) Adam Smith; Megan Brunner; Karin LangeEF+Math, a community of researchers, developers, educators, and students, is developing research-informed mathematics learning approaches for grades 3-8 that combine executive function (EF) skills, conceptual understanding and multi-step problem solving, and equity. After three years of Inclusive R&D, preliminary data suggest many of our approaches are improving mathematics learning. We are simultaneously increasing knowledge of the relationship between mathematics learning and EF skills. The attention to equity and educator voice in the R&D process is producing approaches that are aligned with classroom practice. This session will engage participants in examining the findings from a portfolio thematic analysis, with perspectives from various teams, including both educators and researchers. We will then discuss the implications and applications of this work with all session participants, focusing on promising opportunities for integrating EF and equity within math learning experiences, and ways researchers and educators can collaborate together to do so.Item Improving Measurement Practices through Equity-Forward Instrument Adaptation(2023-09-30) Adam Smith; Megan Brunner; Michelle Tiu; Ryan BakerItem 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.
