Programmatic Support Teams
Through Programmatic Support, EF+Math aims to provide awarded teams with resources they may need to be successful in achieving individual project and collective program goals. Programmatic support partners bring expertise in key program focus areas, including executive function skills, conceptual knowledge and complex problem solving in math, equity, methods and measures, inclusive R&D, and privacy by design. Programmatic support partners work with funded teams as coaches and thought partners to support teams in (a) designing for our priority students and for implementation in real-world classrooms, and (b) implementing rigorous, equity centered and inclusive R&D approaches that tests hypotheses about which EF domains are most important for which aspects of math learning. Additionally, teams provide both on-demand and as-needed support, as determined in partnership between funded teams and their manager. To learn more about Programmatic Support partners, see the Active Management Model Overview.
