Description

Site C's intervention is "a set of five technology-enhanced, project-and-rubric-based ninth-grade language arts units that encourage proficiency-based teaching and learning," implemented in classrooms of seven teachers across six high schools, serving about 528 ninth-grade students. Outcomes are evaluated against student-level benchmark assessment data and attendance within the same schools, grades, and years.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Rubric-based evaluation of project work within technology-enhanced units

Constraints

  • Ninth grade is not part of the state accountability testing system, so state test scores cannot be examined; comparison teachers often differ from treatment teachers, limiting ability to separate teacher and curriculum effects

Target Learners

  • ninth-grade English language arts students in a large urban district

Learning Goals

  • English language arts proficiency
