| Abstract Title: | Teacher behavior change in middle and high school |
|---|---|
| Abstract: | A project that has been running in a high-needs semi-urban district in the central Ohio area for the past five years has resulted in changes in teacher behavior. Originally, the participating middle school teachers worked independently and seldom consulted one another. Minimal consultation also occurred among high school teachers. The project helped teachers become more active and involved students in hands-on, minds-on activities. Additionally, teachers now work together in coordinating lessons at grade- level through the grant-supported quarterly meetings of all science teachers. After several years, teachers began trading topics among the grade levels, and also started to trust that the teachers at lower grade levels addressed these designated topics with students. This talk will quantify teachers' written perceptions of how the program's aims affected their teaching and their students' learning over the course of their five-year participation. |
