Positive Shifts in Teacher Instructional Practices with Use of CueThink

An NSF-funded study shows meaningful changes to teachers’ instructional practices when using CueThink. For those teachers who used the associated professional learning materials, more positive teaching shifts occurred.

CueThink EF+ Significantly Increases Students’ Problem-Solving Performance

In a quasi-experimental study, researchers found significant gains in problem solving performance for all students who used CueThinkEF+ with the gap closing for Black, Latinx and students experiencing poverty. This research was conducted as part of the EF+Math Program through Advanced Education Research and Development Fund (AERDF).
