balance the equation - a grand challenge for algebra 1
balance the equation is the first-ever grand challenge focused on u.s. education.
the bill & melinda gates foundation is seeking to disrupt the deeply imbalanced system against this generation – and previous generations – of black, latino, english learners (els), and 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 experiencing poverty in the united states, who we will refer to as priority 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , as it relates to their algebra 1 experience in 7th, 8th, or 9th grade, in-class or online.
submissions are welcome from across the globe for a chance at a phase 1: planning and prototyping grant for us$100,000 to develop a pilot study plan alongside our external learning partner, american institute for research (air). upon completion of the first phase, awardees can then apply for a phase 2: pilot study grant for up to us$1 million. applicants are encouraged to consider how their solution* could benefit from the expertise of two or more organizations in a partnership or combine with emerging or existing in-market solutions. partnerships representing collaboration with a full-course algebra 1 or relevant middle grades mathematics series provider are especially encouraged, as this would represent a clear go-to-market pathway.
please contact jill sherman, international research facilitator, at intl.research@lakeheadu.ca if you are interested in applying to this funding opportunity.
