Our current grant-funded projects seek to develop and test an expanded math-specific coach training program (M-Powering Teacher Coaching) that uses machine-learning automated feedback and AI-enhanced coaching tools. The Data Scientist will contribute to this and other projects that connect rigorous educational research with practical tools for teachers, instructional coaches, and education leaders.
