Center for Advancing Elementary Science Through Assessment, Research, and Technology (CAESART)

The Center for Advancing Elementary Science through Assessment, Research, and Technology (CAESART) is a national R&D center lead by EDC with University of Miami, CRESST-UCLA, and Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley. CAESART aims to improve high-quality science instruction and assessment for early elementary learners. Activities include:

• Conduct a systematic review of pre-K–5 science assessments.
• Create new K-2 science assessments through adaptive and game-based approaches.
• Investigate the effect of an integrated K-2 literacy-science curriculum.
