Abstract: This study is to test the effectiveness of the Alabama Mathematics, Science and Technology Initiative (AMSTI). This study is needed so that the Alabama State Department of Education(ALSDE), following the requirements of NCLB, can make decisions about this initiative based on scientific data regarding the program's effectiveness at improving student achievement. The evidence from this experiment will be used by ALSDE and the Alabama legislature as a consideration in deciding about program continuation, expansion, and improvement. Respondents are all (324) teachers in grade 4-8 and the principal in 40 schools in 3 regions of Alabama and AMSTI trainers in these regions. Assessment data will also be collected for all students in grades 4-8 in these schools. The study group randomized controlled trial by the Regional Educational Laboratory for the Southeast and its subcontractors to test the effectiveness of the AMSTI.
