SGER--A Collaborative, Multi-site, Student Outcomes Study bySeven SWEPTs

9709717西尔弗斯坦哥伦比亚大学提议设计一项重大成果研究，领导一个由公立和私立机构组成的联盟，为K-12教师提供实验室体验。虽然通过实验室经验来提高教师的能力是广泛的，并且得到了许多专业人士的热烈支持，但这些经验影响的证据主要是由经验组织者或教师参与者的主观自我报告。能否在这种情况下，在获得适当数据的情况下进行强有力的、面向结果的评价研究，是一个猜测问题。这项初步研究将确定哪些信息是可用的，以及如何从各种类型的教师增强提供者收集其他数据。

9709717 Silverstein Columbia University proposes to design a major outcomes study, heading a coalition of public and private institutions that provide laboratory experiences for K-12 teachers. While enhancement of teachers through laboratory experiences is widespread and enthusiastically backed by many professionals, the evidence of impact of such experiences is primarily subjective self-reports by those organizing the experiences or by teacher participants. Whether strong, outcome-oriented evaluation research can be carried out in this setting, with access to appropriate data, is a matter of conjecture. This preliminary study will identify what information is available and how other data might be collected from various types of teacher enhancement providers.
