New Report: Summary of Federal Efforts to Build Evidence through Rigorous Grantee Evaluations
Finding innovative educational strategies that work is important to help improve student learning and close equity gaps nationwide. The goal of the U.S. Department of Education’s Investing in Innovation Fund (i3) was to build high-quality evidence about effective educational strategies and to expand implementation of these strategies. Between 2010 and 2016, i3 awarded 172 five-year grants totaling $1.4 billion to universities, school districts, and private non-profit organizations. Grantees were required to fund independent evaluations that would meet high standards for quality. This report examines the quality and findings of the 148 i3 evaluations, completed at or after the conclusion of the grants, and provides information about the focus of the strategies tested.
Key Findings include:
* The most common strategies grantees implemented involved professional development for educators to improve instruction or reform schools.
* Grantees largely met the i3 goal of producing rigorous evidence about their educational strategy. Specifically, seventy-six percent of the i3 evaluations met the Department’s What Works Clearinghouse standards for study quality.
* However, few of the educational strategies were found to improve student outcomes in grantee sites. Only 26 percent of i3 evaluations found at least one statistically significant positive effect and no negative effects on student academic outcomes.

The Institute of Education Sciences, a part of the U.S. Department of Education, is the nation's leading source for rigorous, independent education research, evaluation, statistics, and assessment.

HACU Faculty Awards (Call for Nominations)
by COEHD Dean
Good morning COEHD Faculty,
It is now the time to begin collecting nominations for the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU) Leadership Academy, La Academia de Liderazgo.
The website describing this opportunity is here: HACU Leadership Academy | Academic Affairs | UTSA | University of Texas at San Antonio<https://provost.utsa.edu/faculty/opportunities/hacu-leadership.html#_ga=2...>
Brochure can be found here<https://www.hacu.net/images/hacu/LeadershipAcademy/HACUAcademiaBrochure4t...>.
Please have your nominations submitted to COEHD.dean(a)utsa.edu<mailto:COEHD.dean@utsa.edu> for the HACU award by March 7, 2024. At this time a nomination name and brief description as to why the individual or yourself is nominated. Please do not send nominations directly to faculty awards, as there is a new process in place.
About this Opportunity
The Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities' Leadership Academy<https://www.hacu.net/hacu/HACU_Leadership_Fellows_Program.asp>, is a one-year program to prepare the next generation of culturally diverse leaders for executive and senior level positions in higher education.
La Academia is designed to increase the number of talented individuals who aspire to leadership positions of Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Emerging HSIs. Fellows selected for the program participate in an array of leadership development activities that will not only prepare them for leadership roles in the full spectrum of institutions of higher learning but will especially sensitize and mold them for leadership positions within HSIs and Emerging HSIs.
There are several features of La Academia de Liderazgo that set it apart from other leadership development programs. The curriculum includes an international component that occurs outside the mainland United States, access to a wide array of current and former leaders in higher education (both within and outside of the United States) who have achieved prominence and high visibility in the field, and a Proyecto Transformativo through which Fellows are able to generate initiatives beneficial to their home institution as well as make important contributions to the knowledge base and practice.
La Academia is a direct response to the declining rate of Hispanic university presidents (from 4.5 percent in 2006 to 3.9 percent in 2016), despite the unprecedented growth of U.S. Hispanic college student enrollment. Soon, if not already, 1 in 5 college students will be Hispanic, yet it is unlikely that many will enroll in a college or university with a Hispanic president. HACU is committed to reversing this ten-year decline by implementing an innovative academy that sets itself apart from other leadership programs in the following ways:
* Fellows participate in three week-long face-to-face seminars integrated with HACU's highly regarded Annual Conference, National Capitol Forum, and International Conference/Experience outside the U.S.
* The curriculum emphasizes Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs) and Emerging HSIs, but provides a holistic approach, including the search process, leadership fundamentals, current critical issues, and international relations.
* Hybrid content delivery with both in-person sessions and synchronous/asynchronous webinars allows a high degree of flexibility for busy work schedules.
* More than a dozen nationally recognized current and emeriti presidents and senior-level administrators with 100 plus years of combined experience serve on the faculty.
* Mentorship with a university president is a key component, as is the development of a special project designed to have an impact at the Fellow's current institution.
Important Information:
* All nominations submitted to COEHD.dean(a)utsa.edu<mailto:COEHD.dean@utsa.edu>
* Submit name and brief reason why
* Deadline: Mar 7, 2024
* A committee will review nominations, reach out for additional information needed and forward to faculty success by their deadline.
Thank you,
College of Education and Human Development, Office of the Dean
