Help Us Evaluate Promising Math Learning Approaches

Become an Evaluation Partner

We are currently looking for an Evaluation Partner to design, implement, and interpret rigorous and innovative studies of the impact of our prototype math learning approaches.

EF+Math’s goal is to dramatically improve math outcomes for students in grades 3–8, particularly Black and Latinx students and students of all races experiencing poverty, by strengthening the core assets every student has – executive function (EF) skills. 

EF+Math’s funded project teams are currently in the third year of their work. Over the next two years, we will evaluate and continue to improve promising prototypes. The program will culminate with an evaluation of whether the EF+Math prototypes improved math outcomes and EF skills in a large sample of students in school settings that reflect the diversity of US schools. 

This RFP presents a unique opportunity to evaluate promising prototypes with the potential for scalable impact. The RFP seeks evaluation partners who are aligned with EF+Math’s values and are capable of developing creative and innovative approaches to evaluation, with equity at the center, and who are interested in conducting evaluations that serve the students who are in most need of support, Black and Latinx students, and students of all races experiencing poverty.
