The Learning Mathematics for Teaching (LMT) project developed assessments to measure teachers' knowledge of mathematics needed in teaching. These items have been widely used by NSF and Department of Education Math and Science Partnerships. To help disseminate the items and to facilitate their implementation, the LMT project developed the first stage of a web-based system called the Teacher Knowledge Assessment system (TKAS) that allows MSP program leaders and others to administer the assessments on line. This project is enhancing the TKAS system to include an online training module, a feature allowing users to design their own assessment scales, and a module to assist users in interpreting results for their projects. An anticipated 300 MSP projects and others will use TKAS to assess over 12,000 teachers over three years. Using data generated by the system, the project team is conducting two studies. The first study is a meta-analysis examining the degree to which MSP projects contribute to teachers' learning as measured by various parts of the LMT assessments. The second study is investigating the features of different professional development activities on student learning.

“为教学而学习数学”项目制定了评估办法，以衡量教师在教学中所需的数学知识。 这些项目已被NSF和教育部数学和科学伙伴关系广泛使用。为了帮助传播这些项目并促进其实施，LMT项目开发了一个名为教师知识评估系统（TKAS）的基于网络的系统的第一阶段，该系统允许MSP项目负责人和其他人在线管理评估。该项目正在加强TKAS系统，使其包括一个在线培训模块，一个允许用户设计自己的评估量表的功能，以及一个帮助用户解释其项目结果的模块。预计300个MSP项目和其他项目将在三年内使用TKAS评估12，000多名教师。 项目小组正在利用该系统生成的数据进行两项研究。第一项研究是一项元分析，通过LMT评估的各个部分来衡量MSP项目对教师学习的贡献程度。研究二是探讨不同专业发展活动对学生学习的影响。
