Efficacy Trial of MyTeachingPartner-Mathematics/Science Curricula and Implementation Support System
This efficacy trial will further test the MyTeachingPartner-Mathematics/Science (MTP-M/S) Curricula and Teacher Support System that were developed and field-tested from 2007-2011. The MTP-Math curriculum focuses on concepts and skills in number sense, operations, geometry, and measurement. The MTP-Science curriculum addresses inquiry skills and key concepts in life, earth, and physical science.
This current project will run a randomized control trial in 140 classrooms across several metropolitan areas, to see how the year-long curricula and accompanying implementation support system impact children’s knowledge and skills and the instructional interaction between children and teachers in the classroom. MTP-M/S curricula and implementation supports include over 130 hands-on activities with teaching tips, instructional adaptations, and curricular extensions, along with video demonstrations of high quality, high fidelity curricular implementation, video-based teaching challenges and professional development workshops.
