An Empirical Investigation of Professional Development Effects on Literacy Instruction Using Daily Logs
Abstract
The author examined the effects of professional development (PD) on literacy instruction using 75,689 lessons from 1,945 classrooms in 112 schools participating in the Study of Instructional Improvement. Stratifying over 94 pretreatment covariates, including prior instruction, the results revealed the importance of PD as a lever for changing teacher practice. Teachers receiving intense PD in comprehension offered 10% more comprehension instruction than teachers not receiving intense PD. Similarly, teachers receiving intense PD in writing offered 13% more writing instruction and had students write 12% more text than other teachers. Furthermore, these estimates may be lower bounds, because they were estimated over a single year and because there was demonstrated potential for additional influences of the school context.

“Studies find that professional development is most effective when it provides teachers active learning opportunities that are intensive, focused on discrete skills, aligned with curriculum and assessments, and applied in context (Correnti, 2007; Desimone, 2009; Desimone, Porter, Garet, Yoon, & Birman, 2002; Garet, Porter, Desimone, Birman, & Yoon, 2001; Wayne, Yoon, Zhu, Cronen, & Garet, 2008).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
