Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

R15CC grounded participants' learning and decision-making in research by providing a literature review, scans of other states' approaches to ESSA requirements, and explanations of the strength of the research base "customized to the workgroup's needs." Facilitators also reviewed NDE CSI school improvement data and ran activities to examine and draw meaning from research to inform intervention selection decisions.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Facilitated reviews of state school improvement data so participants understand the state's education landscape

Constraints¶

Target Learners¶

• State education agency workgroup participants

Target Learning Goals¶

• Confidence that selected interventions focus on research-based, high-impact improvement areas responsive to state needs

Related Strategies¶

• Facilitate a multi-session collaborative workgroup to co-develop state guidance
• School districts adopting AI should follow a five-step roadmap: engage communities, apply and develop policies, provide professional development, create supportive learning environments, and monitor and evaluate AI use
• Build state AI evaluation on the ESSA evidence framework and integrate results into the existing education evidence base
