IES CONTRACTED WITH MDRC AND ITS PARTNERS, ABT ASSOCIATES AND THE FLORIDA CENTER FOR READING RESEARCH, TO SOLICIT APPLICATIONS AND CHOOSE UP TO THREE PROGRAMS TO IMPLEMENT AND EVALUATE IN THE FOURTH AND FIFTH GRADES. THESE PROGRAMS WERE JUDGED ON THE EXTENT TO WHICH THEY INCORPORATED FEATURES THAT THE RESEARCH LITERATURE CONSIDERS ESSENTIAL AND THAT HAVE SOME EVIDENCE OF EFFECTIVENESS. AFTER A MULTI-STAGE SCREENING PROCESS, SERP'S WORDGEN ELEMENTARY PROGRAM WAS THE ONLY ONE CHOSEN FOR THE EVALUATION. WITH A 1.3 MILLION SUBCONTRACT, SERP IS SUPPORTING IMPLEMENTATION IN THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR IN MORE THAN 30 SCHOOLS (INVOLVING APPROXIMATELY 200 TEACHERS AND 5,000 STUDENTS) IN SIX URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS FIVE STATES. LOCAL COACHES SUPPORT IMPLEMENTATION ON-THE-GROUND AND ARE SUPPORTED BY AN EXPERIENCED SERP WORD GENERATION COACH, AN ENGLISH LEARNER SPECIALIST, AND EXPERTS CATHERINE SNOW AND CATHERINE O'CONNOR. A COACHES' INSTITUTE WAS HELD IN SUMMER 2017, AND TEACHER TRAINING INSTITUTES OCCURRED AT EACH DISTRICT PRIOR TO STARTING IMPLEMENTATION IN SUMMER/FALL. THIS STUDY IS OCCURRING OVER A SINGLE SCHOOL YEAR ONLY, THUS EVALUATING THE ABILITY OF THE PROGRAM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN STUDENT LEARNING WITH TEACHERS WHO ARE NEW TO THE PROGRAM. 472650 IMPROVING SCIENCE TEACHING AND LEARNING IN MIDDLE GRADES THE GOAL OF THIS 1.3 MILLION PROJECT FUNDED BY THE SIMONS FOUNDATION IS TO PROVIDE A ROBUST SET OF MATERIALS AND SUPPORTS FOR IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF INSTRUCTION AND LEARNING IN SCIENCE IN THE MIDDLE GRADES, LEVERAGING THE EXISTING SCIENCE GENERATION MATERIALS. THE UNITS WERE INTRODUCED IN A SMALL SET OF CLASSROOMS TO EXPLORE HOW THEY CAN BE REVISED OR, IF NECESSARY, REDESIGNED FOR SUCCESSFUL USE IN A VARIETY OF CONTEXTS. THE DESIGN TEAM WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE PARTNER TEACHERS, ENGAGING IN A USER- CENTERED DESIGN PROCESS TO MAXIMIZE THE POTENTIAL OF THE MATERIALS. THEY OBSERVED TEACHERS AND STUDENTS USING THE MATERIALS IN ORDER TO DETERMINE AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT FOR BOTH THE STUDENT MATERIALS AND SUPPORTS FOR TEACHERS. ALL OF THE MATERIALS WILL EVENTUALLY BE ACCESSIBLE ON A TABLET PLATFORM. 439059 255834 TRU-LESSON STUDY THIS FOUR-YEAR, 3 MILLION NSF-FUNDED PROJECT IS AN EXTENSION OF AN OUSD PARTNERSHIP WITH SERP. TRU MATH (TRU) AND LESSON STUDY (LS), BOTH STRATEGIES THAT HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFULLY PILOTED IN OUSD, ARE THE SPRINGBOARDS FOR THIS WORK. THE GOAL OF THE PROJECT IS TO DEVELOP AND TEST AN INTEGRATION OF THE TWO. TRU-LS IS A MATH DEPARTMENT LEVEL STRATEGY FOR IMPROVING THE TEACHING OF HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS, PARTICULARLY IN ALGEBRA 1 AND GEOMETRY. THE COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICS CALL FOR A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT IN INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE, PLACING URGENT DEMANDS ON SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES CAPABLE OF SUPPORTING THAT SHIFT. THIS PROJECT IS BUILDING A COHERENT AND SCALABLE PLAN FOR PROVIDING THESE OPPORTUNITIES IN HIGH SCHOOL MATHEMATICS DEPARTMENTS BY BRINGING TOGETHER FOUR CRITICAL COMPONENTS THAT WE CONTEND ARE REQUIRED TO EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS THE CHALLENGE: A) A THEORETICALLY ROBUST FRAMEWORK THAT CHARACTERIZES THE FIVE ESSENTIAL DIMENSIONS OF POWERFUL MATHEMATICS CLASSROOMS (THE TRUMATH FRAMEWORK); B) CURRICULAR MATERIALS THAT SUPPORT TEACHING THAT IS CONSISTENT WITH THAT FRAMEWORK (THE FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT LESSONS); C) LESSON STUDY PROTOCOLS AND MATERIALS FOCUSED ON THE CURRICULAR CONTENT AND ALIGNED WITH THE DIMENSIONS OF THE TRUMATH FRAMEWORK TO CREATE AN INTENSE FOCUSING EXPERIENCE FOR PROFESSIONAL LEARNING COMMUNITIES (PLCS); AND D) AN APPROACH TO PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT (PD) THAT CAN BE USED IN SCHOOL-BASED PLCS (THE TRUMATH COACHING SYSTEM, GROUNDED IN THE TRUMATH CONVERSATION GUIDE). THE WORK INCLUDES: 1) THE DESIGN/REVISION OF TRUMATH PD AND COACHING GUIDES VIA AN ITERATIVE DESIGN PROCESS, 2) THE DEVELOPMENT OF FOUR LESSON STUDY MATHEMATICAL RESOURCE PACKAGES USING THE TRUMATH LENS, AND 3) STUDY OF CHANGES IN INSTRUCTIONAL PRACTICE AND ITS IMPACT ON STUDENT LEARNING, AND 4) DOCUMENTATION THAT SUPPORTS USE BY OTHER DISTRICTS AND SIMILAR WORK BY OTHER RESEARCH-PRACTICE PARTNERSHIPS. THIS PROJECT WILL ALLOW FOR TESTING OF THE HYPOTHESIS THAT INSTRUCTIONAL IMPROVEMENT ALONG THE DIMENSIONS OF THE FRAMEWORK WILL PRODUCE IMPROVEMENTS IN STUDENT LEARNING BY COMBINING THE TRUMATH FRAMEWORK WITH A LESSON STUDY PROCESS THAT FOCUSES ON ENACTMENT AND IMPROVEMENT OF INSTRUCTION. THE RESEARCH DESIGN, FOCUSED ON PRE-POST CHANGES AND NATURAL VARIATION AS WE WORK IN PARTNERSHIP WITH SITES, IS MORE LIKELY TO PRODUCE "TRAVEL" OF THE IDEAS TO OTHER DISTRICTS THAN PURE EXPERIMENTAL DESIGNS. THE RESEARCH WILL ALSO PRODUCE VALUABLE INFORMATION ABOUT THE GROWTH TRAJECTORIES OF TEACHERS IN URBAN DISTRICTS AS THEY ENGAGE IN NOVEL BUT SUSTAINED FORMS OF PD. 655831 174581 992353 OTHER PROGRAMS INCLUDE: 1.
