Executive SummaryPearson provides research-based print and digital programs to help students of all ages learn at their own pace, in their own way. Pearson professional implementation and service plans help educators verify the fidelity of those programs across classrooms, schools, districts, and states. Developed for quality, efficacy, and usability, Pearson’s curricula programs and professional development services are based on critical foundational research and proven classroom results.

A research review published by the U.S. Department of Education* synthesized the major findings of several professional development initiatives. The study was grounded in the premise that before changes in student achievement occur there are first changes in teacher knowledge, then teacher practice, and then finally student achievement changes. The study reported that when teachers received an average of 49 hours of professional development, student achievement scores increased by 21 percentile points.

Investigations in Number, Data, and Space for the Common Core ©2012 (Investigations) is an inquiry-based program for students in grades K–5, using a child-centered approach to teaching mathematics through engaging activities, discussions, and problem solving. To help your teachers make the most of Investigations, Pearson offers an array of professional development that helps educators learn new strategies and best practices for teaching mathematics:

Adopt New Instructional Strategies

Verify Students will be College and Career Ready

Intervene with Strong Support

Delivered by Certified ConsultantsOur professional development programs are delivered by experienced, certified educational consultants who are former educators and administrators with proven experience in K–12 education and continuing education for adults. In each training session, they will help your educators understand research-based strategies and how to apply them in the context of goals and initiatives.

Development of InvestigationsInvestigations was developed by The Technical Education Research Center (TERC) in Cambridge, Massachusetts and funded in part by the National Science Foundation. The Investigations curriculum represents the culmination of over 20 years of research and development aimed at improving the teaching and learning of elementary mathematics. Based on extensive classroom testing, Investigations takes seriously the time students need to develop a strong conceptual foundation and skills based on that foundation. A few of the authors are listed below.

Power Your Professional Learning Pathwith Pearson’s Outcomes-Focused Suite ofProfessional ServicesFrom content knowledge to pedagogical best practices, the development of college- and career-ready learners requires a paradigm shift for teachers.

Pearson’s suite of recommended professional development for Investigations helps districts shift teaching and learning to align to new, more rigorous instructional practices, assessments, and expected outcomes.

Collaborating on a Road Map [NAME], your account executive, will work with you to determine the most effective road map to meet specific training and professional needs. Initial planning will include the following:

Identifying goals and objectives for improving instruction and learning

Identifying the current instructional practices, which will serve as a building block for attaining goals

Designing an appropriate training and professional development plan and delivery format

| 5


Educators participating in professional development and training from Pearson will be able to deliver research-based, content-rich, effective lessons that are based on best practices. Our experience, deep and broad-reaching support services, and highly-qualified education consultants provide best practices for an effective, efficient implementation process.

The goals of professional development are:

Successful implementation of the program

Fidelity of implementation in order to obtain the proven research-based results

Improved teaching practice

Professional growth resulting in long-term benefits

In our collaborative discussion with the district, we will create an implementation and service plan that will include training and professional development for the following groups:

Administrators. Focus on an awareness and understanding of implementation information from an administrative perspective. Participants will explore information and suggestions that will assist them in supporting teachers as they begin to implement the program in the classroom.

Coaches. Offer in depth product, content, and technology training to key representatives from each building which will support teachers with training information and tools to build capacity internally for maintaining the effective, sustained implementation of the program in the classroom.

Teachers. Introduce teachers to the components, instructional design, and resources of the program as well as research-proven instructional strategies to improve student achievement.
