Event Description

The Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education at the University of Chicago is convening a series of on-line forums on fidelity of implementation with a particular focus on STEM education programs. These forums build from an NSF supported project that resulted in a suite of instruments for measuring FOI of mathematics and science instructional materials and a series webinars that highlighted some of the challenging issues of FOI measurement. The upcoming forums will build on the previous work, but target specific issues. They will be of interest to a range of and audiences including current PIs and others engaged in research projects, those developing new proposals and planning research designs, practitioners seeking to learn more about the range of issues pertaining to fidelity, and others interested in fidelity of implementation issues. The upcoming forums are:
