Project Description

The Education Research Project is recruiting a select national sample of 8th, 9th and 10th Grade Algebra 1 Teachers to participate in a Field Test of an Algrebra 1 Textbook program developed by a major educational publisher.


In this study, two teachers from the same school will cover the same content using different approaches to comprehension and skill development.

What's Involved ?

In March and April, you will field test the material in the classroom. Field testing includes administering pretests, teaching with the materials provided, and then administering posttests. You and your students will also complete brief questionnaires evaluating the materials.

To clarify impressions, assessments and comments, the editors may also request to interview you or videotape you and your class during the Field Test. Further consultation, including interviews, surveys, or requests for comments, may be requested after the field test, as needed.

All materials, including return packaging and labels, will be provided at no cost to participants. The labels contain all the information needed for the shipping costs to be charged to us.
