q2 · i? · qualitative · r1

Case narrative of Carnegie Learning's (UpGrade) two engagement approaches: a research project with three school districts testing whether personalizing math word problems improves students' sense of belonging and academic outcomes, and design thinking workshops where practitioners developed personas constraining A/B experiment topics. Incentives included scholarships to The National Institute conference and stipends.

"They received positive feedback from practitioners in both projects, which they attribute to how they emphasized the goals of the research and how they authentically connected with participants' needs, made time commitments clear and lowered barriers of effort for teachers and administrators, and compensated practitioners for their participation."
