Our Work
Our work is organized across five interconnected thematic areas. Select a theme to explore related projects and research.
Learning and Instruction for Marginalized Learners
Understanding who is being left behind—and how marginalization intersects—is essential to improving learning. Priorities include culturally responsive instruction, stronger systems, and equity-focused planning beyond averages.
Teacher Professional Development
Supporting teachers in under-resourced settings requires practical training grounded in real classroom constraints. Approaches should be human-centered, continuous, and designed with administrators and policymakers to better serve marginalized learners.
Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) and Assessment
Foundational skills need clear, locally relevant definitions aligned with global standards. Assessments and interventions should reflect varied learning trajectories and drive sustainable, equity-focused improvements in early learning systems.
EdTech for the Bottom of the Pyramid
Technology can expand access and personalization when solutions are affordable and built for low-resource contexts. Focus areas include repurposed devices, gender gaps in access, and responsible AI to strengthen assessment and learning support.
Implementation Science and Policy Adaptation for Marginalized Students
Policies work best when implementation realities and marginalized learners are centered. Flexible, stakeholder-driven approaches—grounded in community successes—can strengthen the policy–practice link and enable durable, bottom-up change.
