Key Education Questions Key Education Questions (cont’d)(cont’d)

How can we measure the effects of standards-based initiatives on instructional practices and curriculum in classrooms?

How can we analyze effectiveness of professional development on changes in teachers’ instructional practices? (i.e. determine the quality of professional development)

What if…What if…

[for Intro of SEC to Educators]You could use data on instructional quality and content to guide professional development?

You could have consistency across grade levels?

You could know how well aligned your state standards were to the state assessment?

You could compare how you teach content compared to how others across the nation teach?

You could use anonymous teacher data to start a powerful school discussion about what the teacher needs are?

Uses a multi-dimensional language fordescribing instructional content
