Sequential, multiple assignment randomized trials (SMARTs), which assist in the optimization of adaptive interventions, are growing in popularity in education and behavioral sciences. This is unsurprising, as adaptive interventions reflect the sequential, tailored nature of learning in a classroom or school.…

There has been substantial public debate about the potentially deleterious effects of the long-run move to "inquiry-based learning" in which students are placed at the center of an educational journey and arrive at their own understanding of what is being taught. There have been numerous calls for a return to "direct"…

Education sculpts specialized neural circuits for skills like reading that are critical to success in modern society but were not anticipated by the selective pressures of evolution. Does the emergence of brain regions that selectively process novel visual stimuli like words occur at the expense of cortical…

To address documented demographic disparities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) disciplines, targeted interventions have been designed to close achievement gaps and remedy the “leaky STEM pipeline”. However, much less work has focused on designing complementary interventions that to seek to broaden…
