Greater Birmingham Mathematics Partnership Phase II Research
This Phase II effort builds upon successes and lessons learned in the Phase I GBMP targeted work. The focus of GBMP-2 is on bringing to scale the implementation of inquiry-based instruction to produce significant improvement in student achievement. Teachers participate in professional development that deepens mathematics content and pedagogical knowledge and improves mathematical dispositions. GBMP-2's intent is to demonstrate that the gains in student achievement shown in Phase I in high implementing grade levels can be brought to scale in participating schools in grades 6-8. The end result of this Phase II work is statistically significant improved student achievement in classrooms of teachers of mathematics who create an inquiry-based learning environment that supports learning challenging mathematics.
