abstract description: PURPOSE This poster focuses on a key aspect of improvement research, the development and use of practical measures to inform improvement efforts (Bryk, Gomez, Grunow, & LeMahieu, 2015). Specifically, we report on an ongoing effort to develop practical measures of 1) aspects of high-quality mathematics instruction linked to student learning, and 2) supports for teachers to improve the quality of instruction and students’ learning. PERSPECTIVE We first describe criteria for effective practical measures that differentiate them from research and accountability measures, including that they should fit with rather than disrupt practitioners’ current practices and can thus be used frequently to provide ongoing feedback. We also give an overview of the envisioned system of measures for supporting instructional improvement efforts, together with the associated routines, and representations that five research-practice partnerships (RPPs) are developing collaboratively. METHOD AND DATA We illustrate our process for developing practical measures and investigating their use by focusing on a measure of the quality of whole-class discussions that takes the form of a short student survey. We describe how we drew on existing research to develop initial items and how we iteratively tested and revised the items until students’ responses (aggregated at the classroom level) matched expert assessment of the quality of the corresponding aspects of discussions. RESULTS We report analyses of how the whole class discussion measure has been used to inform instructional improvement initiatives in two RPPs. In one RPP, mathematics specialists used the measure to inform a curriculum writing initiative aimed at improving the rigor of lessons and units. As part of the effort, six teachers (grades 6-8) routinely piloted newly written lessons and administered the survey measures to their students (total of 56 administrations). The resulting data provided feedback to the mathematics specialists regar…
