Why Participate
Four reasons this cohort is worth your time
World-Class Mentorship
Learn directly from Dr. Robert Marzano and Dr. Sonny Magaña, who mentor participating educators through every phase of the study.
Full Curriculum Genie Access
Get full access to Curriculum Genie — build a complete, standards-aligned unit in about 8 minutes, so joining the study fits your teaching week instead of adding to it.
Cutting-Edge Research
Take part in the first national effect-size study on Agentic AI pedagogy, applying research-informed practices in your own classroom.
Published Co-Authorship
Earn co-author recognition on the final national meta-analysis — turning your classroom work into a published contribution to AI-era pedagogy.
Prove Your Impact
You won’t just try AI. You’ll measure what it does.
Most classroom innovation runs on a hunch. In this cohort you’ll run a simple before-and-after comparison and get a real effect size — a “strength score” that shows exactly how much your unit moved learning.
In John Hattie’s research, 0.40 is the average of everything studied — the question isn’t “did it work?” but how far your classroom can go.
