AIM

AIM: K-8 Science has created instruments and conducted research to better understand how different approaches to professional development affect teacher content knowledge, classroom practice, and student learning. The study had two components:

• Examining the relationship between professional development and teacher content knowledge.
• Examining the relationships among teacher content knowledge, beliefs, classroom practice, and student achievement.

Please see the Instruments page if your project is interested in using any of the AIM instruments.

Additionally, AIM has developed force and motion instructional materials to be used in teacher professional development and/or elementary classrooms. If your project is interested in using the AIM force and motion materials, please visit the Force and Motion Materials page.
