Improving Evaluation of Professional Development with Mathematics and Science Teachers through Developing Research-based Measures of Quality with States and School Districts

摘要提案编号：0438359 PI：Rolf K.空白机构：CCSSO标题：通过与各州和学区制定基于研究的质量衡量标准来改善对数学和科学教师专业发展的评估拟议的项目有四个关键目标：1）对50个州进行调查，以评估50个州收集、报告和分析教师专业发展数据（包括课程质量）的能力。2)确定基于研究的高质量教师专业发展标准，并使用该标准作为分析和选择基于数据的伙伴国家当地计划的框架。3)使用以研究为基础的计划质量标准和衡量成就收益的增值模型，在10个州的一个地区样本中评估专业发展的有效性。4）交流研究结果，以帮助各州的教育领导人改进专业发展的大规模评估模型，确定关键数据项和质量措施，并应用增值模型来确定效果。 评估优质专业发展计划对学生的影响。该项目的目标是基于有效的数学和科学教师专业发展的研究成果。有效专业发展的这些特征旨在指导州和地区一级的改进工作和资源分配。 该项目将测试这些基于研究的标准与学生成绩的关系，使用一个增值模型，在10个州和每个州的地区的项目。

ABSTRACTProposal number: 0438359 PI: Rolf K. Blank Institution: CCSSO Title: Improving Evaluation of Professional Development with Mathematics and Science Teachers though Developing Research-Based Measures of Quality with States and School DistrictsThe proposed project has four key goals: 1) Conduct a survey of the 50 states to assess capacity within the 50 states for collecting, reporting, and analyzing data on teacher professional development including quality of programs. 2) Identify research-based criteria for high quality teacher professional development and use the criteria as a framework for analyzing and selecting local programs in partner states based on the data. 3) Evaluate effectiveness of professional development in a sample of districts in 10 states using research-based criteria of program quality and a value-added model for measuring achievement gains.4) Communicate findings to assist education leaders in all states with improving models for broad-scale evaluation of professional development, identifying key data items and measures of quality, and applying value-added models for determining effects. Estimate the effects of quality professional development programs on student. The project goals are grounded on research-based findings of effective math and science teacher professional development. These characteristics of effective professional development are intended to guide improvement efforts and resource allocation at state and district levels. The project would test the relationship of these research-based criteria with student achievement using a value-added model across programs in 10 states and districts in each state.
