Opportunities

AERDF is convening a virtual community of passionate individuals committed to identifying intractable problems impacting PreK-12 education and developing promising opportunities that can reshape it in the next 10-20 years. We’re calling practitioners, researchers, tech developers/builders, and other PreK-12 changemakers who want to apply the engine of innovation that is education research and development (R&D) […]

Assessment for Good (AFG), an inclusive R&D program part of the Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF), is calling all changemakers interested co-designing and co-developing formative assessment solutions that actively engage with learners, educators, and their caregivers to redefine practices that center the strengths of Black and Latinx learners.

Calling all Prek-12 Changemakers! Take a survey and join us in co-creating a map of the education R&D ecosystem in the United States that will outline who is working in the ecosystem, where they are working, and what they are working on. Information collected through this survey will be used to generate the map and deepen our shared understanding of the ecosystem. Share Your Voice

Learning to read is a complex process. Decades of research provide some insight into the skills, knowledge, and beliefs that students must possess to become proficient readers - but there is much more to learn about how to put all of our students, especially Black, Latino, and Native American students and those experiencing poverty, on accelerated trajectories of reading success that match their potential. 

Nationally recognized nonprofit seeks a full-time Director of Strategic Development to join the team growing an inclusive research & development (R&D) program for K-12 education.

Last month, AERDF CEO Stacey Childress shared an update with our growing community of friends that recommendations were being sought for talented leaders across the country who would make great candidates for membership on our board of directors.
