Meet the EF+Math Team
Program Executive Team
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.
Partners
American Institutes for Research (AIR)
AIR’s mission is to generate and use rigorous evidence that contributes to a better, more equitable world. Our partners at AIR bring deep expertise in mathematics education, implementation and evaluation of educational products, educational technology, and iterative research methodologies. The AIR team is conducting evaluations of our R&D team prototypes and working in partnership with the EF+Math community to engage in inclusive evaluation processes that serve students and teachers. Our AIR partners include: Toni Smith, Ryan Williams, Tiffini Pruitt-Britton, Bo Zhu, and their team.
