Meet the program executive team
Meet the program advisory board
Previously, EF+Math had several different advisory groups, including the Educator Leadership Council (ELC), Equity Research Advisory Board (ERA), and other experts. These groups were valuable in supporting EF+Math’s centering of equity, educator voice, and inclusive research and development. The ELC helped with program design and helped to launch our program from its beginning. We centered their voices in our collaborations with our Project Teams. As EF+Math moves into the evaluation phase of its work, these groups have merged into the PAB. We are thankful to everyone who has supported our team and helped make our work stronger and more equitable.
