Abstract |
| This paper shares the findings from the evaluation of a year-long implementation of a Mathematics Science Partnership (MSP) professional development project, Content Development for Investigations (CoDE:I), designed to support elementary school teachers’ enactment of standards-based mathematics pedagogies. Teachers participated in a 48 hour summer institute followed by 24 hours of follow-up work during the school year. Statistical analyses of teacher-participants’ content knowledge, beliefs, practices and their students’ achievement on curriculum-based measures indicated positive gains in teachers’ mathematical content knowledge, their instructional practices, and in some cases students’ achievement on curriculum-based assessments. Implications for future research and the design of professional development are also shared. |
