This is a Late-Stage Design and Development collaborative effort submitted to the teaching strand of the Discovery Research PreK-12 (DRK12) Program. This project will address the pressing national need to generate shared, practice-based knowledge about how to implement freely available, high-quality instructional resources (mathematics formative assessment lessons) that have been shown to produce significant gains in student learning outcomes. It will expand a professional development model (Analyzing Instruction in Mathematics using the Teaching for Robust Understanding Framework (AIM-TRU)) that supports teacher learning about effective lesson implementation. The backbone of AIM-TRU is a growing, open repository of video cases available to teachers and teacher educators across the U.S. who use or are interested in using the lessons. The repository will include tools such as a facilitator's guide to support teachers and teacher educators to engage in the model and collaboratively investigate the video cases. Consequently, the work will have the potential to engage teachers and teacher educators in improving mathematics education at scale. Because the video cases will capture implementation and ideas for improving instruction in schools serving populations who are underrepresented in mathematics, AIM-TRU will serve to improve mathematics education equitably.Research questions focus on what teachers learn about high-quality mathematics instruction and instructional materials within a community of practice, and how that learning influences their teaching. In AIM-TRU, teachers engage in the collaborative investigation of video cases utilizing a shared repertoire that includes questioning protocols adapted from the Teaching for Robust Understanding (TRU) framework. This framework articulates five dimensions of classroom instruction that are necessary and sufficient to support students in becoming powerful mathematical thinkers. This affords teachers opportunities to use the TRU dimensions as lenses to diagnose common problems of practice that arise in implementation, and propose innovations and theories for improving instruction that can be tested in real classrooms and documented in new video cases. Analytic tools will be used from frame analysis to produce empirical evidence of what teachers are learning about instruction and instructional materials along the five dimensions of TRU. These data will be mapped to a random sample of video recordings of participating teachers' instruction, scored using the TRU Math Rubric, in order to link learning outcomes from the professional development to changes in instruction. Addressing these research questions will provide a deeper understanding and empirical evidence of learning within teacher collectives, the pressing national need to develop mechanisms to produce collective professional knowledge for teaching, and further efforts to understand the types of knowledge required for effective teaching.The DRK-12 Program seeks to significantly enhance the learning and teaching of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) by preK-12 students and teachers, through research and development of innovative resources, models and tools. Projects in the program build on fundamental research in STEM education and prior research and development efforts that provide theoretical and empirical justification for proposed projects.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这是提交给发现研究 PreK-12 (DRK12) 计划教学部分的后期设计和开发协作成果。该项目将解决国家迫切需要生成共享的、基于实践的知识，以了解如何实施免费提供的高质量教学资源（数学形成性评估课程），这些资源已被证明可以显着提高学生的学习成果。它将扩展专业发展模型（使用稳健理解教学框架（AIM-TRU）分析数学教学），支持教师学习有效的课程实施。 AIM-TRU 的支柱是一个不断增长的开放式视频案例存储库，可供美国各地使用或有兴趣使用课程的教师和教师教育工作者使用。该存储库将包括主持人指南等工具，以支持教师和教师教育工作者参与模型并协作调查视频案例。因此，这项工作将有可能让教师和教师教育工作者大规模地改善数学教育。由于视频案例将捕捉改善为数学方面代表性不足的人群服务的学校教学的实施和想法，AIM-TRU 将有助于公平地改善数学教育。研究问题集中于教师在高质量数学教学和教学材料中学到了什么。实践社区，以及学习如何影响他们的教学。在 AIM-TRU 中，教师利用共享库参与视频案例的协作调查，其中包括改编自强健理解教学 (TRU) 框架的提问协议。该框架阐明了课堂教学的五个维度，这些维度对于支持学生成为强大的数学思想家是必要且充分的。这为教师提供了使用 TRU 维度作为镜头来诊断实施中出现的常见实践问题的机会，并提出改进教学的创新和理论，这些创新和理论可以在真实的课堂上进行测试并记录在新的视频案例中。将使用框架分析中的分析工具来生成教师在 TRU 五个维度上学习的教学内容和教学材料的经验证据。这些数据将映射到参与教师教学的视频记录的随机样本，并使用 TRU 数学评分标准进行评分，以便将专业发展的学习成果与教学变化联系起来。解决这些研究问题将为教师集体内部的学习提供更深入的理解和实证证据，国家迫切需要制定机制来产生教学集体专业知识，并进一步努力了解有效教学所需的知识类型。 12 计划旨在通过创新资源、模型和工具的研究和开发，显着增强学前班至 12 年级学生和教师对科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 的学习和教学。该计划中的项目建立在 STEM 教育的基础研究和先前的研究和开发工作的基础上，为拟议项目提供理论和实证依据。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响进行评估，被认为值得支持审查标准。
