Our last paper is out !

Huge congrats to editors Katie Tuck and Cian Brown!

Does anyone have a coding manual they have used for instruments/measures? Or perhaps a published systematic review of instruments they can send my way so I can see how they approached coding? Thanks!

I am very excited to have co-guest edited this special issue in Educational Psychologist - Toward Equity in Educational Psychology: Including Students with Disabilities in Research and Theory Check it out! www.tandfonline.com/toc/hedp20/6...

It's here! The newest issue of @edpsychjournal.bsky.social asks: why aren't you including students with disabilities in your research? Then, an amazing group of scholars demonstrate how and why they DO. I want to highlight a few aspects of the special issue in particular:

If you are going to be at ABAI in DC, come chat with Art Dowdy and me at two of our presentations around leveraging behavior science for math skill acquisition!

Huge congrats to editors Katie Tuck and Cian Brown on releasing another 🔥 issue of Single Case in the Social Sciences #ScrdChat

For the next two weeks, I'd like for you to meet the PRIME Team - Powell and Researchers Investigating Mathematics Evidence. I have the honor to advise 9 doctoral students. Ready to meet them?

It's HERE! The long-awaited version of Pirate Math Equation Quest for multi-step word problems! All FREE. www.piratemathequationquest.com

Meet Syeda, one of the most compassionate members of the PRIME Team! She's doing a cool dissertation project in which she is interviewing teachers about how they teach fractions. Beyond fractions, Syeda focuses on early numeracy interventions and the use of manipulatives!

First up in the PRIME Team spotlight is Danielle. She's a 4th year student who is finishing her dissertation. In fact, she defends TODAY! She designed a math vocabulary component to word-problem intervention! Danielle loves middle school math, and she's a role model for others.

Upgrade to the collection!

Best friends!

The Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness (SREE) 2025 conference is October 8-11 in Chicago! The Special education section would love your submissions & participation. Abstracts due 4/1! Thanks for considering submitting & sharing with your networks! #SREE2025 @sreesociety.bsky.social

Over the past few months, you might have heard me talk about the underwhelming NCTM/CEC position statement on teaching math to students with disabilities. Well, here's a response from 34 authors in which we discuss what's in it and what's not. FREE to download! riseopenjournal.org/article/id/2...

Huge congrats to Cian Brown and Kathleen Tuck on their editorship and launch of the 2nd issue of SCSS!

If you know, you know.

Help Scott out!

Actionable research is essential for teaching. Our response to the NCTM/CEC joint statement on mathematics education for students with disabilities identifies missing evidence-based practices. Read it now and stay tuned for a vision grounded in research and evidence! #SpecialEdResearch #Mathematics

How are you going to be a company making this much money on educational assessments and then provide an inaccurate (albeit not that serious) interpretation of percentile ranks?

Please join us this Friday (12/13) for the next installment of our online seminar series. This month, Drs. John Ferron and Megan Kirby will be sharing recent work on how to approach effect sizes and meta-analysis of single-case designs.

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Council for Exceptional Children released a joint statement on teaching math to students with disabilities I’m going to write a substack - but what are others’ thoughts? Here is the link: exceptionalchildren.org/blog/joint-p...

Consider submitting your work to the J of School Psychology Special Issue, "Pragmatic Measures for School-Based Research and Practice: Best Practices and Future Directions." Submissions due February 1, 2025.

I am so sick of people saying vouchers will help pay for private school. Do you know what will happen? Current tuition price: $X Voucher: $Y New tuition price: $X + $Y How are people pretending this is not the most logical outcome of this policy?

Well it's not very big yet so I need your help but here's the start of a SENDCO (plus friends) starter pack. If you are a SENDCO, Asst SENDCO, ALNCO, SEND Consultant or system leader, Please reply to this post with a hello or a wave and I will add you to the pack. go.bsky.app/UrbNzMT

Collaborating with folx outside of aba/sped to investigate personality factors that may lead to cognitive bias and impact teachers interpretation of progress monitoring graphs How much role language and decoding play into word problem solving - it’s not the math knowledge that trips most kids up

Bluesky academics, let's get to know each other! Quote this & tell me: 1) a project you are working on & 2) an odd idea/theory you aren't working on but keep thinking about. I'm up: 1. improving early numeracy instruction 2. how do we reverse the epidemic of shrinking attention span

I've had the privilege of working on a team (see here www.ou.edu/education/re...) testing a high-dosage tutoring model over the last 3-years (and it is ongoing). Here is our preprint sharing data from the project. doi.org/10.35542/osf...

Highly recommend signing up for this - and the deadline is tomorrow! singlecaseinstitute.uoregon.edu/sample-page/

We (John McKenna & @willavandijk.bsky.social) investigated how the manipulation of two graph characteristics impacted visual analysis of single case designs graphs! Check it out! #ScrdChat doi.org/10.1177/0145...

Math fun everywhere

I'm Esther! I research reading instruction for students with disabilities. I enjoy gardening, cooking, and yard sales. Always happy to chat navigating academia as a parent and someone who is neurodivergent. We were connected on the other site; trying to find momentum on this one!
