The Abdul Latif Jameel World Education Lab (J-WEL) is an initiative that addresses three core demographics and levels of education through collaboratives for each domain: pK-12, Higher Education, and Workforce Learning. Each collaborative organizes its efforts on focus areas identified as keys to transformative change in education. In each area, the collaboratives sponsor research at MIT and develop programs that bring together educational innovators at MIT with J-WEL members to address member educational opportunities and challenges. Objectives for Grants in pK-12 Education InnovationWe seek a wide range of innovative projects and research (see list of grantees here for past/existing funding projects). This year we are targeting the following priorities. We are particularly interested in the following (Projects should include as many of these as appropriate.):
Successful proposals will identify a real issue or problem in the target population and include information and data as evidence of this issue. Proposals should provide metrics for success and descriptions of how these will be measured, both locally and in diverse global settings. Please think about the global impact to pK-12 educators and learners and those from high-needs populations. Consider the use of technology to solve problems where appropriate. This may include the use of digital solutions to address inequities in education experienced around the globe. Employ learning strategies that will be inclusive of learners across socioeconomic class and geographic location and learners of all abilities and disabilities. If possible, integrate findings from learning sciences into the design and connect to relevant framework(s) or sets of standards, which can potentially allow a variety of audiences to adopt the work. We encourage collaboration among faculty members and partnerships with global organizations. Requirements
