This National Science Foundation (NSF) Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK-12) Program project grant for $1,502,771 will fund the development and pilot testing of an asynchronous, collaborative online professional learning (PL) course for middle grades mathematics teachers. The project aims to help teachers provide equitable mathematics instruction to their students by incorporating equity-based teaching practices, such as positioning students as mathematically competent. The 10 PL sessions will...

This $1,783,246 five-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to create online curricula and conduct research to prepare future middle and high school mathematics teachers to effectively use web-based dynamic geometry technology tools to facilitate productive classroom discussions on geometric concepts. The project has three key goals: 1) develop online modules to train future teachers on using technology to lead productive...

This $887,316 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program will support a study on the impact of "rough draft mathematics" teaching approaches on middle school students' engagement and motivation in learning mathematics. The University of Delaware, the prime awardee, will (1) observe teaching practices that promote rough drafting and revising in 24-32 middle school classrooms across three school districts, (2) analyze students'...

This Project Grant of $308,277 was awarded by the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to Digital Promise Global, a non-profit organization, to develop a professional development approach using a library of vetted video cases. The goal is to build elementary teachers' capacity for inclusive computational thinking (CT) integration within their core instruction in subjects like math, science, and language arts. The project will partner with urban and rural school...

This Project Grant award of $199,998 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Kennesaw State University Research And Service Foundation, Inc. (KSU R&SF) aims to develop perspective-taking skills in first-year engineering students using arts-based observation techniques. The research will explore how learning to analyze themes in art helps students approach engineering design problems from different viewpoints. The project involves first-year civil and...
