Abstract: This package requests clearance to recruit and collect data from districts, schools, and teachers for a study of math professional development. The study will provide important information about the implementation and impact of intensive, content-focused professional development on fourth grade teachers' content knowledge, classroom practice, and their students' achievement. The evaluation has an experimental design with teacher-level random assignment of a volunteer sample of approximately 200 fourth grade teachers in six districts to receive either the study's PD or the district's "business-as-usual" PD. Findings will be presented in a final report scheduled for release in Febuaury 2016.
