Nominate your elementary schools and district for a study funded by the U.S. Department of Education.

Researchers at SEDL and the University of Wisconsin-Madison are conducting a study of Imagine It!, an Open Court Reading Program, and Everyday Mathematics to determine the impact of the programs on teacher practices and student academic achievement.

Why should schools participate?

  • Each participating school will receive FREE Imagine It! or Everyday Mathematics materials approximating $3,200 per classroom.
  • Participating schools will also receive FREE training and support for the duration of the study!
  • Participating schools are taking action that may increase their overall performance on state-mandated reading and math assessments and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP).
  • Participating schools will be integral to a national study with the potential to shape reading and math research and education policy.

Who is eligible to participate?

  • Districts with at least four elementary schools willing to implement one of the programs.
  • Schools with classrooms of students in grades K–5 that are willing to implement one of the two programs, Imagine It! or Everyday Mathematics.
