Centering Student and Educator Voice and Expertise in Inclusive, Equity-Centered Research and Development

Abstract

Inclusive 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.
