Recruiting for research requires creativity! A bonus for school leaders may be reduced teacher turnover.
Teachers are still struggling - engaging them in a research project may reduce turnover. We are using “familiarization periods” for our new studies so teachers in the treatment group can check out the cool tools before the study starts. Maybe it will get them excited to stay! #evidence #edtech #research #teacher https://lnkd.in/eFeCa6xQ
Important Update for EdTech Companies: With What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) Research Review Contracts Canceled, Alternative Validation is Now Critical As many of you may have heard, the government has canceled contracts for WWC to review new research studies. This means education companies can no longer rely on this federal resource to validate their evidence base - creating a significant gap in the educational research ecosystem. Why this matters: School districts still need validated research to make informed purchasing decisions, particularly when using federal funds that require evidence-based solutions. At LXD Research, we're seeing firsthand how this shift is affecting the industry: ? Districts are turning to trusted third-party validators to verify research quality ? Companies need alternative pathways to demonstrate ESSA evidence levels ? Decision-makers need clear translation of complex efficacy research The good news? Several respected organizations continue to provide rigorous research validation: ? Digital Promise (Research-Based Design and ESSA Tier 4 and 3 certifications) ? ICEIE (International Certification of Evidence of Impact in Education) ? Evidence for ESSA (Johns Hopkins University) Did you know? LXD Research has successfully guided over 70% of recent Digital Promise certification earners through the application process. Our deep expertise in ESSA-aligned research and certification requirements has helped dozens of companies translate their evidence into meaningful credentials that educators trust. Now more than ever, having an experienced partner to navigate these alternative validation pathways is essential for EdTech companies looking to demonstrate their product's impact. Has your organization felt the impact of this WWC change? How are you adapting your research validation strategy? I'd love to hear your experiences in the comments. #EducationResearch #ESSA #EdTech #EvidenceBasedEducation #EducationPolicy
We're thrilled to announce that 11 educational products supported by LXD Research have earned Digital Promise's prestigious ##ESSA certifications in the past six months! The research-based design ESSA 4 certification verifies that these innovative tools incorporate rigorous learning sciences research into their design and development. The ESSA 3 certification recognized a rigorous study that demonstrates learning outcomes. With less than 1% of K-12 educational products earning this recognition, we're proud that our partners represent over 70% of the recently certified cohort. This achievement reflects our shared commitment to creating technology that's truly grounded in how students learn. The certification process involves submitting comprehensive evidence demonstrating the connection between learning sciences research and product design. Our team worked closely with each company to articulate their research foundations and pedagogical approaches. Congratulations to all our partners who earned this important recognition. Your dedication to research-informed design and evidence-based products is making a meaningful difference in education.
