In our latest episode, Brian welcomes Chief Data Science Officer Andrew Coulson back to the show to discuss a national study of ST Math recently released by independent education research firm WestEd. The national study was the largest study of its kind to evaluate an education technology math program, including over 150,000 students, and found that schools consistently using ST Math could boost their state test scores enough to, on average, jump by as much as 14 percentile points in their statewide math ranking.Andrew and Brian discuss the results of the WestEd study, the innovative method used to analyze math scores across different states, and how this approach provides repeatable results on at scale.Topics Covered in the Podcast:0:45 Intro2:35 Takeaways from our Previous Discussion On a New Paradigm for EdTech Evaluation4:30 2018 WestEd Study--Why It’s Different5:55 Challenges of Getting the Word Out6:30 Looking at Assessments Across Different States8:55 Repeatability of Studies 10:00 MIND’s Volume of ST Math Research12:00 2018 WestEd Study Results16:00 What Schools and Districts Should be Looking For in EdTech Program EvaluationTo learn more about the WestEd study, head over to stmath.com/wested.
