Lina Shanley; Ben Clarke; Derek Kosty; Jessica Turtura; Madison Cook; Marah Sutherland; Keith Smolkowski – Grantee Submission, 2024
Early mathematics achievement sets the stage for a range of important academic and career outcomes. As efforts to improve elementary mathematics instruction have increased, efforts to better understand how students develop mathematics knowledge and why students respond to mathematics instruction have also emerged. Given known correlations between…

Ben Clarke; Christian T. Doabler; Jessica Turtura; Keith Smolkowski; Evangeline Kurtz-Nelson; Derek Kosty; Hank Fien; Scott K. Baker – Grantee Submission, 2019
This study examined the role of initial skill in moderating intervention effects of a 50 lesson mathematics intervention program, ROOTS, for at risk kindergarten students focused on developing whole number concepts and skills. The study utilized a randomized block design with at-risk students (n = 592) within classrooms (n = 60) randomly assigned…

Strand Cary, Mari G.; Clarke, Ben; Doabler, Christian T.; Smolkowski, Keith; Fien, Hank; Baker, Scott K. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2017
We report on a practitioner implementation of Fusion, a first-grade mathematics intervention. Studies such as this evaluation of a loose implementation under realistic conditions are important to curriculum developers' understanding of how evidence-based programs and tools work under a variety of implementation scenarios. In this…
