This article presents engaging and practical methods of helping educators to "remix" the evidence-based and high-leverage practices they are already familiar with to include the new capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI). Transformational modern technologies can be powerful and disruptive, possessing the potential to impact…

This article discusses growing the high-impact practices (HIPs) list to include a wider array of student and educator identified transformative experiences and more culturally relevant and responsive HIPs is an important next step to get beyond the 11 and help more students thrive.

There are increasingly frequent calls for school mathematics curricula to be informed by robust research evidence. One approach to achieving this is designing evidence-informed learning and teaching resources for the classroom. In this paper, we reflect on our experiences of designing a free and fully resourced complete set of secondary…

The problem to be explored in the proposed study will be to determine to what extent public and private leaders utilize scientific evidence-based knowledge, ethical considerations, and public policy in their executive decision-making, particularly during emergent situations.
