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个研究和开发项目，涉及一套以前在国家科学基金会支持下开发的专业发展材料。 这些材料，即“全民数学”，是为了帮助教残疾小学生的教师的专业发展。 目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)在这项研究的基础上，为教师领导和其他专业发展促进者开发资源。这些资源包括辅导员案例手册、辅导员研究所的模型和辅导员持续在线支持的模型。3)使用随机对照试验模型进行实验研究，以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.
