Baroody, Arthur J.; Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie – Education Sciences, 2022
Although reformers have embraced learning trajectories (LT, also called learning progressions) as an important tool for improving mathematics education, the efficacy and assumptions of LT-based instruction are largely unproven. The aim of a recently completed research project was to fill this void. Fulfilling this aim was more challenging than…

Dong, Yixiao; Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie; Dumas, Denis; Banse, Holland W.; Day-Hess, Crystal – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
Research on young children's development of executive function (EF) and early mathematics has established relationships between the two, but studies have not investigated whether these relations differ for children with different outcomes in mathematics and EF, especially in the context of interventions. To examine the homogeneity of those…

Implementation of a Scale-Up Model in Early Childhood: Long-Term Impacts on Mathematics Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Clements, Douglas H.; Sarama, Julie; Layzer, Carolyn; Unlu, Fatih – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
A follow-up of a cluster-randomized trial evaluated the long-term impacts of a scale-up model composed of 10 research-based guidelines grounded in learning trajectories. Two treatment groups received the intervention during the prekindergarten year, and one of these groups received follow-through support in kindergarten and first grade.…

Burchinal, Margaret R.; Krowka, Sarah; Newman-Gonchar, Rebecca; Jayanthi, Madhavi; Gersten, Russell; Wavell, Samantha; Lyskawa, Julia; Haymond, Kelly; Bierman, Karen; Gonzalez, Jorge E.; McClelland, Megan M.; Nelson, Kimberly; Pentimonti, Jill; Purpura, David J.; Sachs, Jason; Sarama, Julie; Schlesinger-Devlin, Elizabeth; Washington, Julie; Rosen, Emily – What Works Clearinghouse, 2022
By learning social-emotional, executive function, mathematics, and literacy skills in preschool, children are likely to be better prepared for the higher expectations and more formal curriculum in elementary school. Ensuring that all children are well prepared for elementary school is a priority for parents, caregivers, guardians, and policy…

Long-Range Impact of a Scale-Up Model on Mathematics Teaching and Learning: Persistence, Sustainability, and Diffusion
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Sarama, Julie; Clements, Douglas H. – Journal of Cognitive Education and Psychology, 2021
Scaling up educational interventions in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) field is critical but under-researched. We review and draw implications from a series of studies investigating the long-range impact of an implementation of an early mathematics scale-up model based on learning trajectories. Lasting effectiveness…
