The Wested organization was awarded an $8.93 million Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Elementary and Secondary Education under the Education Innovation and Research (EIR) federal grant program.
Through this five-year award ending in December 2026, Wested will scale, establish the efficacy of, and disseminate findings on the Citizen Math innovation designed to improve social-emotional and math outcomes for high-need rural and urban K-12 students. Wested has sub-awarded $TBD to Mathalicious, LLC to deliver the Citizen Math curriculum and professional development services. Additionally, the American Institutes for Research will serve as the external evaluator for $TBD to assess project outcomes.
The EIR grant program supports the creation, development, and expansion of evidence-based approaches to advance student achievement and attainment, particularly for high-need students. This award aims to provide rigorous evaluation of the Citizen Math model's ability to cultivate math skills and informed citizenship among disadvantaged youth through the math classroom.
