Math Curriculum Efficacy Research
Community of Practice
About the Community
Since 2023, Bellwether and the Gates Foundation have worked together to strengthen understanding of math curriculum efficacy research and promote stronger partnerships between education researchers and practitioners.Â
Our Community of Practice comprises a dedicated group of math education researchers and practitioners in district and state offices across the country. Members come together to discuss key topics and challenges related to the design, execution, use, and implementation of math curriculum research; learn from one another; and collaborate in creating solutions and actionable resources to share with the broader field.Â
This site serves as a resource for Community of Practice members, containing relevant reports, toolkits, and resources from prior convenings and events. It also serves as a hub for digital collaboration among members between gatherings.
