What is the “intervention?” Consider these new foundations: –Protocols/rubrics for online research –Teaming and Collaboration –Protocols of communication –Rubrics for media products –Expectations for teacher practice –Critical thinking curriculum –Concept mapping

Web-based Integrated Science Environment

WISE Web-based Integrated Science Environment

Program Measurable Outcome: By spring 2006, the number of 7th grade students that reach proficiency in science inquiry will increase by 20%, as measured by PASS Intervention: Integration of WISE units in middle school science In context of new foundations: –Protocols/rubrics for online research –Teaming and collaboration –Protocols of communication –Rubrics for media products –Expectations for teacher practice –Critical thinking curriculum –Concept mapping

Evaluation Questions 1. With what quality was the curriculum revamped to incorporate the WISE units? 2. Was the professional development of sufficient quality, frequency, and timeliness to adequately prepare teachers to use the WISE projects as recommended? 3. How did teacher practice and curriculum change over time? 4.Were the WISE units implemented as planned, with fidelity? 5. Were the essential conditions for effective technology use in place? 6.Did the students successfully complete the units? 7. Did the perspective/interest of the school administrators, teachers, students, and families change about WISE over time? Implications? 8.Did student engagement in science change over time? 9. Did student achievement in science change over time? 10. Did the differences in student changes correlate with gender, SES, race?
