Abstract: Support for the idea of developing stronger mathematics curricula comes from all stakeholders in education today. Despite the importance of mathematics education that there have been a limited number of interventions that meet the need. Odyssey Math may be an exception and is designed to offer opportunities to engage in more challenging mathematics in (presumably) interesting contexts. Despite the promise the intervention holds, existing studies on Odyssey Math have not adequately controlled for threats to the internal validity. The Regional Education Lab–Mid-Atlantic plans to remedy that and has designed a multi-site CRT to evaluate the effectiveness of Odyssey Math in improving math scores. This document presents the Supporting Statement for a multi-site cluster randomized control trial (or multi-site CRT) designed to test the impacts of Odyssey Math Software in 4th grade classrooms in the MidAtlantic region of the United States (PA, MD, NJ, DE, DC).

Abstract: This study will implement a randomized controlled trial of a social studies curriculum that uses a problem- PO 00000 Frm 00031 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 3809 based instructional approaches to teach high school economics. Economics is a required course for high school graduation in California, and will be added in Arizona in 2007; the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) will test economics in 2006. The curriculum approach is intended to increase class participation and content knowledge and has been shown to differentially benefit low-achieving students. This study will target rural and urban high schools. The experimental condition requires teachers to attend a 5-day workshop in summer 2007 during which they will be provided with curriculum materials for PBE and training for using these materials. High school seniors will receive instruction from their teachers using the problem-based instructional approach. Teacher and student outcomes focus on differences in content knowledge in economics, compared to the control group.
