Abstract: OMB clearance is requested for a randomized controlled trial study of the impact of professional development in fractions for fourth grade teachers on student achievement and teacher knowledge in 82 elementary schools from Georgia and South Carolina for one academic year. Schools with 2 or more fourth grade teachers will be recruited. Random assignment will be conducted at the school-level. Teachers in the treatment schools will participate in 24 hours of professional development during five PD sessions and will complete a total of approximately 8 hours of assignments to prepare for the PD sessions (such as reading PD materials) over a 6-month period of the school year (typically September to February). Teachers in control schools will receive business-as-usual professional development. Teachers will participate in the following data collection activities: consent and demographic form, teacher knowledge measure of fractions (pre- and post-test), and 9 monthly professional development surveys. Grade 4 students will be assessed with a fractions measure. REL Southeast will conduct the study. This OMB clearance request is to collect data from approximately 246 teachers.
