What are we building?
This project is developing a comprehensive R&D infrastructure to investigate and enhance the effectiveness of the Eureka Math² curriculum. This infrastructure will include embedded student assessments, synchronous and asynchronous teacher supports, and integrated tools to capture and analyze teacher knowledge, instructional choices, and identity. It will incorporate tools for A/B testing and Rapid Cycle Evaluation (RCE) to rigorously assess how professional learning and teacher-facing features impact teacher efficacy and curriculum implementation. A dedicated researcher portal will manage and facilitate partnerships, ensuring a streamlined process for continuous improvement and evidence-building.
What are we learning?
Professional learning:
How professional learning and teacher-facing supports influence implementation fidelity of Eureka Math²
Curriculum implementation and supplementation:
How specific curriculum features and supplements affect use and effectiveness
Student engagement and learning:
How student engagement with Eureka Math² is associated with their completion of embedded self-reflection activities
How students in the district evolve in their learning and engagement in both Eureka Math and Eureka Math² schools as teachers implement the improved digital platform
Products
Embedded research and evaluation tools for use with Eureka Math²
Infrastructure to support implementation and ongoing data collection
Researcher portal for coordination and dissemination
