Description of Research Program
Through its Mathematics and Science Education (Math/Science) program, the Institute intends to contribute to the improvement of mathematics and science education for students with identified disabilities and to prevent the development of disabilities among students at risk for disabilities by: (1) identifying curricula, instructional approaches, and practices that are associated with better mathematics or science outcomes for students with disabilities or students at risk for disabilities, as well as mediators and moderators of the effects of these practices; (2) developing curricula, instructional approaches, or practices in mathematics and science education for students with disabilities or students at risk for disabilities; (3) establishing the efficacy of fully developed mathematics and science education interventions for students with disabilities or students at risk for disabilities; (4) providing evidence on the effectiveness of mathematics and science interventions for students with disabilities or students at risk for disabilities when implemented at scale; and (5) developing and validating assessments of mathematics and science learning for students with disabilities or students at risk for disabilities.
The long-term outcome of this program will be an array of tools and strategies (e.g., curricula, programs, approaches) that have been demonstrated to be effective for improving mathematics and science learning and achievement for students with disabilities or at risk for disabilities from kindergarten through Grade 12.
