The DR+Math Toolkit is created by Search Institute based on research funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The findings and conclusions contained within are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the positions or policies of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The lead Research Scientist is Diane Hsieh, and the instructional designer is Michael Wright. If you have any questions or comments, or if you'd like a full PDF of the Toolkit, please email Diane at dianeh@search-institute.org. Our most sincere gratitude goes to the following professionals who provided valuable feedback to the design and content:

  • Math content developers and professional learning specialists from Desmos, Amplify, and Illustrative Mathematics.

  • Math educators from the ResultsLab math educator panel.

  • Search Institute staff, especially Kara Hirano who provided expertise and guidance on cultural responsiveness and partnering with families in math learning.
