The Institute intends for the Special Education – Math/Science research program to fulfill five goals: (1) identifying curriculum and instructional practices that are potentially effective for improving mathematics or science outcomes for students with identified disabilities and students at high risk for disabilities, as well as mediators and moderators of the effects of these practices; (2) developing new interventions and approaches to mathematics and science education for students with identified disabilities and students at high risk for disabilities that will eventually result in improving mathematics and science achievement; (3) establishing the efficacy of existing interventions and approaches to mathematics and science education for students with identified disabilities and students at high risk for disabilities; (4) providing evidence on the effectiveness of mathematics and science interventions implemented at scale; and (5) developing and validating assessments for mathematics and science learning. Interventions appropriate for development and/or evaluation under this program are interventions intended to improve mathematics or science achievement of students with disabilities and students at high risk for disabilities. Mathematics interventions may be for students from kindergarten through adult education; science interventions may be for students from kindergarten through high school. The long-term outcome of this program will be an array of tools and strategies (e.g., curricula, programs) that have been demonstrated to be effective for improving mathematics and science learning and achievement.

(This program was run under CFDA Number 84.324K in 2006)
