PR-CETP Comprehensive Summative Evaluation Project

波多黎各卓越教师准备合作项目（PR-CETP）是一个为期五年的项目，涉及波多黎各的七所高等教育机构，合作改革他们的科学和数学教师准备计划。在这五年中，PR-CETP制定了多项战略和试点项目，旨在改善教师准备课程，通过发展教授生物科学和数学课程的教师，支持生物学生从招聘到教学，评估和评估过程。 一个后续评估项目正在评估该项目对几个关键方面的影响：机构政策、教授基础课程的教师以及参与PR-CETP项目的新数学和科学教师。 将结合新教师参与改革工作的程度，研究PR-CETP对新教师的影响。 评估方法包括问卷调查、课堂观察、概念理解测验和档案袋以及对新教师学生概念理解的评估。该项目正在与CETP核心评价工作合作。

The Puerto Rico Collaborative for Excellence in Teacher Preparation (PR-CETP) is a five-year project involving seven institutions of higher education in Puerto Rico in a collaboration to reform their science and mathematics teacher preparation programs. In these five years, PR-CETP developed multiple strategies and pilot projects aimed at improving the teacher preparation curriculum, through the development of faculty who teach preservice science and mathematics courses, support for preservice students from recruitment into the program through induction into teaching, and assessment and evaluation processes. A Follow-On Evaluation Project is assessing the impact the project has had on several key aspects: institutional policies, faculty who teach the preservice courses, and the new mathematics and science teachers who were involved in the PR-CETP project. The impact of the PR-CETP on new teachers will be studied in relation to their level of participation in the reform efforts. The assessment/evaluation methods include surveys, classroom observation protocols, conceptual understanding examinations and portfolios, and the assessment of the conceptual understanding of the new teachers' students. The project is collaborating with the CETP Core Evaluation effort.
