What is this study assessing?
The project will examine what it means to implement a complex middle school mathematics program as intended, and the relationship between curriculum implementation and student outcomes.
How will the study be conducted?
WestEd will partner with districts and schools using Illustrative Mathematics (IM) or other high-quality middle school mathematics curricula. Following a quasi-experimental design with target (IM) and comparison (non-IM) district sites, the research team will match schools with schools that have similar school-level characteristics. We will gather data from teachers and students to understand curriculum implementation and outcomes, and gather administrative data to understand district- and school- provided implementation supports. The analysis will describe implementation and impact in different contexts.
