NSDL Pathways personnel are being trained to determine the content alignment and instructional quality of their K-12 resources using the criteria developed at AAAS Project 2061. The training workshops cover the essentials of the processes for alignment and evaluation of a resource's instructional quality as a measure of the likelihood that student learning is promoted when the resource is used as designed.Resources that are aligned with content standards and provide students with varied phenomena are essential to the understanding of key science ideas. K-12 NSDL resources vary greatly in the grain size and quality of their alignment to standards. Coupled with the existence of little information about the resources' instructional quality, this creates difficulty for educators trying to locate the most effective resources. The analysis procedure that the NSDL Pathways personnel are being trained to use is based on a substantial corpus of research and was developed over many years in consultation with hundreds of K-12 teachers, materials developers, scientists, teacher educators, and cognitive researchers. By applying analysis criteria derived from the best available research on learning and teaching, the project is improving the cataloging of educational digital resources enabling improved selection for classroom use to be made with respect to content alignment and instructional quality.

NSDL Pathways的工作人员正在接受培训，使用美国科学促进会2061计划制定的标准来确定K-12资源的内容一致性和教学质量。培训讲习班涵盖了对资源的教学质量进行校准和评估的过程的要点，以衡量按设计使用资源时促进学生学习的可能性。与内容标准一致并为学生提供各种现象的资源对于理解关键科学思想至关重要。K-12 NSDL资源在粒度大小和与标准对齐的质量方面差异很大。再加上关于资源教学质量的信息很少，这给教育工作者寻找最有效的资源带来了困难。NSDL Pathways人员正在接受培训使用的分析程序是基于大量的研究语料库，经过多年与数百名K-12教师、材料开发者、科学家、教师教育者和认知研究者的磋商而开发出来的。通过应用从最好的学习和教学研究中得出的分析标准，该项目正在改进教育数字资源的编目，从而在内容对齐和教学质量方面改进课堂使用的选择。
