UW–Madison’s David Kaplan, the Patricia Busk Professor of Quantitative Methods in the School of Education’s Department of Educational Psychology, has received a three-year, $897,000 grant from the Institute for Education Sciences to work on the development of probabilistic forecasting approaches to model trends toward the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
The purpose of this project is to develop probabilistic forecasting methodologies to model country-level trends in literacy and numeracy outcomes. Kaplan will concentrate on gender gaps in literacy and numeracy with a particular focus on forecasting the impact of COVID-19 on these trends.
