The IEP Quality Tutorial is a web-based decision-making support system that targets the improvement of the overall quality of the Individualized Education Program (IEP) document, specifically in the development of standards-based IEPs.
Mission HydroSci (MHS) is a 3D game-based learning environment and curriculum that targets middle school student learning of water systems science and scientific argumentation. MHS is a rigorous, coherent, and engaging 6 to 8-day curriculum with all learning activities and social interactions taking place in the virtual world and with teachers observing and supporting students through an online support system enhanced by analytics. The program is divided into six units that middle school students on average take 6 to 8 hours to complete. Each unit focuses on a different aspect of water systems science, including topography, watersheds, groundwater, and the water cycle. The program also teaches students how to support claims with evidence, identify warrants, and use reasoning to link evidence with a claim.
Core-Plus Mathematics is a curriculum that targets high school students' mathematics achievement. The program is designed around multi-day lessons organized around cycles of instructional activities intended primarily for small-group work in the classroom and for individual work outside of the classroom. Lessons begin with a full-class discussion of a problem situation and related questions to think about, followed by small-group investigations and a full-class discussion (referred to as a Checkpoint) of concepts and methods developed by different small groups. The program also provides sets of MORE tasks, which are designed to engage students in Modeling with, Organizing, Reflecting on, and Extending their mathematical understanding in individual work outside of class.
Fusion is a Tier 2 Grade 1 mathematics intervention designed for students at risk in whole-number concepts and skills. The program targets critical whole-number content and is intended to strengthen students' conceptual understanding and procedural fluency in mathematics. The Fusion curriculum consists of 60 lessons, each lasting 30 minutes, delivered over a period of 20 weeks. Each lesson includes the explicit introduction of new content and systematic practice and review in four to five brief, scripted mathematics activities. Lessons use a variety of math models and contain teacher modeling, scaffolded instructional examples, and opportunities for teachers to provide academic feedback based on student responses to individual and group questions.
Expeditionary Learning (EL) is a curriculum that combines an interdisciplinary instructional approach with ongoing training and coaching for teachers and school leaders. EL uses an experiential approach in which students conduct research projects to share with outside audiences. Learning expeditions-case-studies of academic topics-often bring together teachers from different subjects to coordinate shared projects; this curriculum includes several elements that are closely aligned with the Common Core standards for English-language arts and literacy. EL provides a combination of curriculum resources, professional development institutes in the summer and during the school year, and on-site classroom observation and coaching for teachers and school leaders.
NumberShire Level 1 (NS1) is a game-based, Tier 2 mathematics intervention designed to support first-grade students with or at risk for mathematics difficulties (MD) in developing proficiency with whole-number concepts and skills. NS1 targets three domains of whole numbers represented in the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSS-M): Counting and Cardinality, Number and Operations in Base Ten, and Operations and Algebraic Thinking. NS1 provides explicit instruction in rational counting, decomposition of numbers, sophisticated counting strategies, properties of operations, number combinations, multidigit addition and subtraction, and word problem solving. The intervention consists of 48 sessions, themed into 12 weeks of instruction, with each session designed to provide 15 minutes of instruction. NS1 utilizes a gaming platform, where students interact with virtual characters and receive effort- and performance-based rewards as they succeed in solving mathematics problems.
Making Sense of SCIENCE is a model for teacher professional learning aimed at raising students' science achievement, particularly Earth and space science and physical science, through improving science instruction. The professional learning model focuses on the critical connections between science understanding, classroom practice, and literacy integration in ways that support the implementation of NGSS and CCSS. The Making Sense of SCIENCE model comprises six components. Components 1, 2, and 3 are related to leadership capacity building for three groups: site coordinators, Leadership Cadre (LC) members, and administrators. Components 4, 5, and 6 are related to teacher professional learning. Implementation of the six components takes place over the course of a two-year period. Component 1 focuses on professional learning for site coordinators, one in each of the two states in which the study was conducted. Component 2 focuses on LC professional learning. Component 3 focuses on administrator professional learning. Components 4, 5
