Survey Results of Urban School Classroom Practices in Mathematics and Science : Using the Survey of Enacted Curriculum Conducted During Eight USI Site Visits: 2000 Report

The Survey of Enacted Curriculum (SEC) is being conducted as a study component of a three year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF), entitled "How Reform Works: An Evaluative Study of NSF's Urban Systemic Initiatives (USI)." The evaluative study is exploring the impact of USI programs on student achievement and the learning infrastructure in urban school districts. These results will be used to develop an inferential causal model linking the systemic reform drivers and other key elements. The purpose of the Survey of Enacted Curriculum is to analyze classroom practices and curriculum and to assess the impact of USI and other reform efforts. In addition to classroom practices, the survey collects data regarding teachers preservice education and professional development experiences. Survey results from elementary and middle school teachers who received varying amounts of professional development (High PD and Low PD) will be compared.Kim, Jason J. is the author of 'Survey Results of Urban School Classroom Practices in Mathematics and Science : Using the Survey of Enacted Curriculum Conducted During Eight USI Site Visits: 2000 Report', published 2001 under ISBN 9780970296832 and ISBN 0970296835.
