Teach for America (TFA): Recruiting and Selecting Graduates to Teach in Challenging K-12 Schools

Teach for America (TFA) is a program that recruits and selects graduates from selective colleges and universities to teach in the nation's most challenging K-12 schools. TFA targets schools with high poverty rates and aims to address the crucial need to staff these schools with effective teachers. TFA corps members participate in an intensive five-week summer national institute and a two-week local orientation/induction program prior to their first teaching assignment. The program focuses on recruiting and selecting academically talented recent college graduates and placing them in schools serving disadvantaged students, with the goal of reducing the achievement gap, even if teachers stay in teaching only a few years.

Mission HydroSci (MHS): A 3D game-based learning environment and curriculum to support middle school student learning of water systems science and scientific argumentation

Mission HydroSci (MHS) is a 3D game-based learning environment and curriculum that targets middle school student learning of water systems science and scientific argumentation. MHS is a rigorous, coherent, and engaging 6 to 8-day curriculum with all learning activities and social interactions taking place in the virtual world and with teachers observing and supporting students through an online support system enhanced by analytics. The program is divided into six units that middle school students on average take 6 to 8 hours to complete. Each unit focuses on a different aspect of water systems science, including topography, watersheds, groundwater, and the water cycle. The program also teaches students how to support claims with evidence, identify warrants, and use reasoning to link evidence with a claim.

Chemistry That Applies: Improving General Science Achievement Among Middle School Students

Chemistry That Applies is a curriculum unit that targets physical science learning for eighth-grade students. Working in large and small groups, students explore chemical reactions, collect data, and use evidence-based arguments to support their claims. Students keep individual science notebooks for analyzing results. Chemistry That Applies provides question prompts (called "Think and Write") that require students to use critical thinking skills. Complicated vocabulary is kept to a minimum. The unit is implemented over a period of approximately seven weeks.

Technology Enhanced Elementary and Middle School Science (TEEMSS): Using Technology to Support Inquiry-Based Scientific Learning in Grades 3-8

Technology Enhanced Elementary and Middle School Science (TEEMSS) is a physical science curriculum for grades 3-8 that utilizes computers, sensors, and interactive models to support investigations of real-world phenomena. TEEMSS includes 15 inquiry-based instructional science units, with five units developed for each of the grade levels 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8. Each unit contains two one-week investigations, each with a discovery question, several trials, analysis, and ideas for further investigations. The program also includes a web-based teacher-reporting tool that allows teachers to review student portfolios and gather student responses for assessment and class discussion.

Peer Tutoring and Response Groups: Improving English Language Development among English Language Learners

Peer Tutoring and Response Groups is a program that targets English language development, reading achievement, and mathematics achievement for elementary school students, particularly those with limited English proficiency or at risk for emotional and behavioral difficulties. The program involves pairing students of varying abilities, such as bilingual students with English-only students, to work together on academic tasks in reading, language, writing, and math. Students are trained to interact as tutor and tutee or to work in small groups, and specific instruction on tutoring procedures or how to assume individual roles in a group is required before implementing the routine use of this practice. The program can be used by teachers during classroom instruction or as part of after-school programs.

Fast Track: Reducing Conduct Problems and Promoting Academic, Behavioral, and Social Improvement

Fast Track is a comprehensive intervention program designed to reduce conduct problems and promote academic, behavioral, and social improvement. The program consists of seven integrated intervention components: the Promoting Alternative THinking Strategies (PATHS) curriculum, parent groups, parent-child sharing time, child social skills training groups, home visiting, child peer-pairing, and academic tutoring. These components take place during the school day, during 2-hour long extracurricular enrichment programs involving both parents and children, and in the home. The program begins in the first grade and continues through tenth grade, with the frequency of the supports reduced based on the assessed functioning of the students and their families.
