Evaluation of the Arizona Collaborative for Excellence in the Preparation of Teachers Project.

该项目评估亚利桑那州卓越教师准备合作项目（ACEPT）。它调查了该项目对社区和通过该项目培训的教师的更持久的影响。这包括评估早期改革和最近改革的影响，以及评估对ACEPT毕业生及其学生的影响。该项目确定了对塑造毕业生K-12科学和数学教学方式的影响，改革后的教学方法是否显著提高了学生的成绩，以及学院和大学水平教学性质的变化。该项目测试了一些假设，即为什么一些教师欣然接受改革后的教学方法，而另一些教师仍然抵制。该项目提供了有价值的测量工具，可用于其他项目和数据，有助于评估ACEPT和CETP计划的影响。

This project evaluates the Arizona Collaborative for Excellence in the preparation of Teachers (ACEPT). It investigates the more lasting impact of the project on the community and the teachers trained through the project. This includes assessment of the impact of early reforms and more recent reforms and assessment of the effect on ACEPT graduates and their students. The project determines the impact on shaping the way graduates teach K-12 science and mathematics, whether or not reformed teaching methods significantly improve student achievement, and the change in the nature of college and university level instruction. The project tests hypotheses about why some teachers readily embrace reformed teaching methods while others remain resistant. This project provides valuable measurement instruments that can be used by other projects and data that helps in assessment of the impact of ACEPT and the CETP program.
