Teacher Quality (TQ)

Visit the project's website

Changing how teachers teach is a significant challenge as educators move toward adopting research-based instructional methods and materials for classroom use. A multitude of factors can inhibit teachers’ ability to master new practices: limited amounts of time in teaching schedules, pressure to cover increasing amounts of content, and demands to prepare students for high-stakes tests, among others.

The Teacher Quality project studies the effectiveness of on-site professional development in the form of instructional coaching as a means of overcoming this challenge.
