Early Impact of Teacher Leaders in a Networked Improvement Community on Middle School Mathematics Performance

Abstract

Networked improvement communities (NICs) offer an approach for administrators, researchers, content experts, and teachers to co-develop, test, and spread instructional improvements. This study analyzed the effect of teachers’ participation in a NIC on growth in their students’ mathematics achievement in comparison to teachers in the same district who received the same mathematics professional learning but did not participate in the NIC activities. Authors found that the students in the classes of teachers who participated in a NIC demonstrated significant improvement in mathematics in the program’s second year.
