District Development as a Means of Improving Mathematics Teaching and Learning at Scale

This chapter focuses on research that can inform the improvement of mathematics teaching and learning at scale. In educational contexts, improvement at scale refers to the process of taking an instructional innovation that has proved effective in supporting students’ learning in a small number of classrooms and reproducing that success in a large number of classrooms. We first argue that such research should view mathematics teachers’ instructional practices as situated in the institutional settings of the schools and broader administrative jurisdictions in which they work.

In 2010, the National Governor’s Association and the Council of Chief State School Officers published theCommon Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) and to date, 44 states, the District of Columbia,and the U.S. Virgin Islands have adopted the document. These content and practice standards, which specify what students are expected to understand and be able to do in K-12 mathematics, represent a significant departure from what mathematics is currently taught in most classrooms and how it is taught.

Event Contact
Jeanne Century

This webinar will describe work conducted at the Center for Elementary Mathematics and Science Education reform that focuses on the development of a suite of instruments for measuring fidelity of implementation (FOI) across multiple programs. The webinar will include a description of CEMSE’s conceptual framework that underlies the FOI measurement approach and then will show how that approach is operationalized via a critical component approach to FOI measurement.
