CCSSO has established a collaborative research team involving Wisconsin Center for Education Research (WCER) and American Institutes for Research (AIR) to investigate how professional development programs and activities in multiple sites (approximately 5 districts participating in MSP) can be evaluated using a common set of research-based measures, and how a survey methodology can be used to evaluate the effects of professional development in improving instruction in mathematics and science. The project will survey 640 middle school teachers about what and how they teach. Specifically, the study will address the following research questions. 1) To what extent is the quality of the professional development supported by MSP activities consistent with a research-based definition of quality?2) What effects do teachers' professional development experiences have on instructional practices and content taught in math and science classes? Are high-quality professional development activities more likely than lower-quality activities to increase the alignment of content with state standards and assessments? 3) How can MSP projects use study findings to improve professional development and the content and instruction of mathematics and science classes?

CCSSO已经建立了一个由威斯康辛教育研究中心（WCER）和美国研究所（AIR）参与的合作研究小组，研究如何使用一套通用的基于研究的措施来评估多个地点（大约5个参与MSP的地区）的专业发展计划和活动，以及如何使用调查方法来评估专业发展在改善数学和科学教学方面的效果。该项目将对640名中学教师进行调查，了解他们教什么以及如何教。具体而言，该研究将解决以下研究问题。1) MSP活动支持的专业发展的质量在多大程度上符合基于研究的质量定义？2)教师的专业发展经历对数学和科学课堂的教学实践和教学内容有什么影响？高质量的专业发展活动是否比低质量的活动更有可能增加内容与国家标准和评估的一致性？3) MSP项目如何利用研究成果来改善专业发展以及数学和科学课程的内容和教学？
