Description

The purpose of this project is to develop and test the effectiveness of the NumberShire Integrated Tutor System (NS1-ITS) that will be utilized to optimally scale up implementation of an evidence-based education technology tool, NumberShire 1 (NS1), in first grade classrooms. The NS1-ITS will include (a) an enhanced version of NS1, (b) a large-scale data reporting system, (c) an Instructional Tutor that provides differentiated lessons, and (d) an Implementation Resource Center providing professional development resources and guides. Expected outcomes are to improve (1) teachers‚ use of data-based decision making (DBDM) and differentiated instruction and (2) math achievement, for students with mathematics learning disabilities.
