Description¶

During the study, "Researchers conducted biweekly Teacher Learning Community meetings with intervention group teachers", at which researchers facilitated discussion of practices that worked well in previous lessons and aspects of the curriculum that were problematic. Teachers also received curriculum materials including detailed lesson plans, quasi-scripted lesson guides, overhead transparencies, worksheets, homework assignments, and all necessary reading materials. The curriculum itself was not modified as a result of these meetings.
