Have you ever wanted to run an experiment to improve math learning with thousands of K12 students, but did not have the money or resources? IES is giving away 10 grants, each for $400,000 to support such efforts!

WestEd posted an RCT of ASSISTments, a low-cost online tool that assists 7th graders with math homework & gives teachers real-time reports on student performance. Quick take: High-quality RCT finds sizable gain (~31% of a grade-level) in math scores on state test at 2y mark. 1/6

What counts as quality in #EdResearch? @LaurGoldenberg & I propose this framework for #ResearchWorthUsing:
1. Relevance of question
2. Theoretical credibility
3. Methodological credibility
4. Evidentiary credibility
5. Relevance of answer

I was interviewed by Jeffrey R. Young for EdSurge. Read the article about the IES's Digital Learning Challenge XPrize here: bit.ly/39yR9Qj. I'll talk a bit more about the topic at an ISTE panel on June 28th.
We won the #edtechawards as a "cool tool" for curriculum and instruction. Proud to help teachers w/ distance, hybrid, or in-person learning! Thank you to EdTech Digest and to all our amazing teachers & students who learn with ASSISTments. bit.ly/3wlQfjY
