To help teachers monitor students' social behavior, this project will develop a classroom conduct system that includes a mechanism for teachers to monitor social behavior. Project Ac ...

This project develops a nutrition program, MenuChoice©, for community-based group homes for persons with intellectual or developmental disabilities (IDD). Adults with IDD experience poorer nutritional health and more nutrition-related secondary conditions than adults without disabilities.

Through the Social Shape Up System teachers will use a handheld device to manage their classroom by monitoring and track classroom behaviors in pre-K to eighth grade classrooms. The product will include the curriculum consisting of eight research-based strategies for shaping behavior, a web-based, database-driven system to store, manage, and report student behavior, and the mobile/handheld device ...

While computers in the classroom provide possibilities for project-based and highly collaborative learning, there is a lack of activities that engage teachers and students in hands-on science learning. The goal of this approach is to provide teachers with the necessary support for inquiry-based learning by utilizing sensors through a multimedia web-based application, OASIS (Online Application to ...

Anasphere, Inc is working to make inquiry based tools and materials for weather and climate education more readily available for students and educat ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop an evidence-based approach to maximize learning for K-12 students and predict learning outcomes. We propose to analyze data at multiple levels, including individual and group assessment data, and characteristics of the student, teacher, principal, and school. Using this data, we will categorize performance levels, determine the strengths and weaknesses of t ...
