PowerUp WHAT WORKS at the American Institutes for Research (AIR) builds on the work of the Center on Technology Implementation (CTI), an AIR project funded by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) from 2009-2015. This grant involved a collaborative partnership with staff from CAST and EDC who contributed their expertise and knowledge of Universal Design for Learning, best practices in teaching and learning supported with technology, and technical assistance. We would like to acknowledge the contributions of David Rose (co-founder, CAST) and Judith Zorfass (associate center director, EDC)
AIR is one of the world's largest behavioral and social science research and evaluation organizations. Our overriding goal is to use the best science available to bring the most effective ideas and approaches to enhancing everyday life.
