The Community Hub of ATS Teams (CHATS-Teams) will support the Accelerate Transform Scale (ATS) Initiative by building a strong field of education innovators.

The Using Generative AI for Reading R&D Center (U-GAIN Reading) will investigate how to apply AI innovations, aligned to scientific evidence about reading, to achieve strong, equitable gains for diverse elementary school students, with a specific focus on English learners (ELs). U-GAIN Reading will ask two overarching research questions: (1) How can generative AI improve reading performance for ELs and all students who are not yet reading connected text? (2) How can generative AI improve...

This study will use NAEP grade 8 mathematics assessment process data to understand the action and time sequences of key features in test-taking behavior for learners with and without disabilities, and how the test-taking behavior reflected through these key features relates to student outcomes. Although any performance or process differences found between learners may be due to true differences in test takers' mathematics problem solving, it is possible that the content and design of certain...

This project team will develop and pilot curricular and training materials to support high school world history teachers' facilitation of text-based discussions (online or in-person) and foster students' historical thinking skills. Student-to-student discussions are essential for promoting historical thinking skills, yet there currently are no discipline-specific, curriculum-embedded resources that support world history teachers to facilitate productive discussion.

The Network Lead will help platform developers, researchers, and educators share ideas, build knowledge, and strengthen dissemination. SEERNet will (a) maximize the distinctive advantages of organizing research around Digital Learning Platforms, (b) align to IES's goals by focusing activities around the Standards for Excellence in Educational Research ("SEER"), and (c) achieve deeper and broader national impacts by leveraging extensive, existing networks of education partners, researchers, a...
