Abstract EN
A partnership including 11 school districts, a university, service agency, and private nonprofit education organization formed a collaborative partnership to improve teaching and learning in elementary school science and mathematics.
The partnership designed research-based professional development for 150 teachers of grades 3–5.
The professional development resulted in statistically significant increases for those elementary school teachers on math and science competency tests over a two-year period.
The professional development was the vehicle for providing teachers with professional development so that they could (a) increase their content background in science and mathematics and (b) apply newly learned inquiry practices in their math and science instruction.
