q3 · i? · causal · r3

Descriptive implementation analysis using activity logs, attendance records, and video recordings of all group sessions coded for activities and MQI quality.

"All three components of the PD were implemented with high fidelity. On average, 96 percent of the expected 80 hours of Intel Math, and 100 percent of the planned Mathematics Learning Community and Video Feedback Cycle hours were delivered"

q3 · i? · causal · r2

Descriptive comparison of self-reported math-related PD during the study year; reported focus differences on K–8 math content and student thinking were statistically significant, ranging from 0.7 to 1.3 on a 4-point survey scale.

"Overall, treatment teachers participated in 95 more hours of math-related PD than did control teachers, which is close to the approximately 93 hours of math PD provided by the study"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• A 93-hour content-intensive math PD program improved fourth-grade teachers' math content knowledge — related
• The 93-hour PD was implemented with high fidelity, and treatment teachers received 95 more hours of math-related PD than controls — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• The 93-hour PD was implemented with high fidelity, with 96 percent of Intel Math hours and 100 percent of the school-year components delivered — possibly the same claim (merge candidate)
• Content-intensive math PD produced a statistically significant, sustained gain in grade 4 teachers' math content knowledge (21 percentile points in spring) — related
