Description:

The E4 Center/Northwestern Center for Applied Research in Education (NCARE) invites you to join us for our Fall Virtual Brown Bag with SESP's Ofer Malamud

Education technology has the potential to transform classrooms, but how can schools best support teachers using new technology? A large-scale study in Peru examined training and coaching approaches to help 188 low-performing public schools adopt an online math platform. In this virtual brown bag, Ofer Malamud discusses the intervention’s impacts on teacher and student engagement, how the intervention affected teachers who didn’t receive training, and what usage and engagement with the platform looked like in the years that followed.

Ofer Malamud is a Professor of Human Development and Social Policy at the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University, whose research focuses on education policy from an international perspective, including how technology shapes learning and how education affects labor market outcomes.

He is a research associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, a member of the CESifo Research Network, and a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago.
