These instruments have been used in a number of research and evaluation projects to study professional development and its impact on teacher content knowledge, beliefs, classroom practices, and\/or student achievement.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/horizon-research.com\/aim\/wp-content\/uploads\/AIM-NARST-2013-paper-revised-7-1-13.pdf\">2013 NARST paper \u2013 Instructional Materials to Support NGSS<\/a> (PDF, 193KB)<br \/>\nThis paper presents the findings from a study of an educative curriculum materials-based intervention that has three central design principles: 1) the materials are aligned with current knowledge about how people learn; 2) the educative components support teacher content and pedagogical content knowledge, and facilitate instructional implementation; and 3) the instructional activities use low-cost, readily available materials amenable to large-scale implementation. Implications for supporting implementation of the Next Generation Science Standards are discussed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reports are available in PDF format and require Adobe Acrobat Reader.
