Supporting Staff Developers in the Implementation of Professional Development Programs to Improve Mathematics Education for Students with Disabilities

教育发展中心正在开展一项与一套专业发展材料相关的研究和开发项目，该材料之前是在美国国家科学基金会的支持下开发的。这些教材名为《全民数学》（MFA），是为教小学残疾学生的教师提供专业发展的教材。当前的项目有三个不同的组成部分。1)对辅导员使用专业发展材料的方式进行定性研究。2)在此基础上，开发教师领导和其他专业发展促进者的资源。这些资源包括一个引导者案例手册、一个引导者研究所的模型和一个为引导者提供持续在线支持的模型。3)进行实验研究，采用随机对照试验模型，确定这些资源的有效性。

The Education Development Center is carrying out a research and development project related to a set of professional development materials previously developed with support from the National Science Foundation. The materials, Math for All (MFA), are for the professional development of teachers who teach elementary school students with disabilities. The current project has three distinct components. 1) Conduct a qualitative study on the way the facilitators use the professional development materials. 2) Based on that study develop resources for teacher leaders and other facilitators of professional development. These resources include a Facilitator Case Book, a model for facilitator institutes, and a model for continued on-line support for facilitators. 3) Conduct an experimental study, using a randomized controlled trial model, to determine the effectiveness of these resources.
