Experimental Design for Measuring Effects of Teachers Using Data to Guide Improvement of Curriculum and Instruction in Mathematics and Science Education (Data on Enacted Curriculum)

A major question for education decision-makers is how best to help teachers improve their curriculum content and teaching practices, with the ultimate goal of improving student learning and achievement. An important question for research is how to determine the extent of change in teaching and content, particularly in the present era of push for higher standards.

Porter and Smithson are testing the effects of an intervention that helps teachers learn to use rich, in-depth data on their current practices, student achievement, and standards. For teachers and schools, the goal is to improve curriculum and instruction in relation to challenging standards for math and science education.
