Grant Work: The U.L.T.R.A. Initiative

2020 U.S. Department of Education, Emerging Innovation and Research Grant Awardee

I am so proud to be the instructional designer, grant designer, and co-primary investigator for the U.L.T.R.A. Initiative. This innovative research provides professional development to educators in the areas of Minecraft, 21st Century Learning Design, and Universal Design for Learning, in addition to coaching and support, to explore if gamification impacts learning outcomes of students with special needs. For more information, review the DOE documentation below.
