UCSC Work Website Project 1; Interactive K-8 Math Performance
This project is an NSF-funded study for a collaborative team from UCSC, UT Austin, and the Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), to create an agent-based model of data from a data-warehouse accumulated by San Jose Unified School District. The model was to examine the potential variables that predict 8th grade math performance. UCSC provided the educational expertise, LANL developed the model, and UT Austin visualized the data. The remaining work requires us to take what we have produced and present it to educational practitioners to determine how useful they find it. We will do this largely through an interactive website, where individuals can manipulate some of the data and relate them to their own situations.
