Study Activities. A. An overview of study activities include: ● conducting a multi-site cluster quasi-experimental study. The Study will identify schools using Illustrative Math® in grades 6-8 (i.e., focal sites) or those using another high- quality curriculum (i.e., comparison sites). Within each participating school, the evaluation will focus on all grade 6-8 math teachers and their students during the first and second study years (2024–25 and 2025-26, respectively). ● evaluating the district- and school-provided implementation supports as well as the implementation and impact of high-quality curriculum as measured through: district and school level administrative and focus group/ interview data; teachers’ instructional activities (measured through implementation logs and surveys and district-provided administrative data); students’ self-beliefs about mathematics (survey administered twice yearly); students’ mathematics achievement (using state administered test scores).
B. For each partner district, regardless of curriculum used, WestEd will: ● provide a professional learning stipend each study year for district partners to use to support their local curriculum implementation. ● provide consultation support to district partners to assess current methods and measures used to measure teacher uptake, quality of implementation, and impact on teachers and students; WestEd will also provide additional (or new) implementation measures that could be used to supplement current approaches (e.g., surveys, logs, observations) or measures of impact (e.g., teacher surveys and interviews; student surveys). ● collect, analyze, and summarize implementation data to support continuous improvement in the partner district. WestEd will organize two meetings per year to discuss these data with a small team (~4) of district mathematics leaders from the partner district.
C. WestEd will conduct all evaluation activities necessary for tracking grant outcomes, and district- or school- context and teacher and student activities during the life of the grant. The following categories of information will be collected by WestEd during the Study: ● Administrative data, including: ○ Student administrative data (e.g., demographic background and achievement) from District will be provided upon request from WestEd (see Appendix A). ○ District- and school-provided professional development provision and cost information. ○ Data from methods the district and schools used to measure implementation of the curricu...

Study Activities. The parties agree that where the Architect is retained by Miami Dade College as consulting architect for purposes of performing study activities, the following conditions shall apply: (a) the Architect's Fee for a study activity shall not exceed $50,000; (b) all records relating to such study activity shall be stored in separate files; and, (c) Miami Dade College shall be billed separately for the Services relating to such study activity with the invoices marked clearly to indicate the study activity to which the invoice relates.
Study Activities. We are asking you to complete a final survey that is similar to the previous one. The survey will take about 10 minutes. We will ask you questions about your sexual practices, your drug and alcohol use, your health, and HIV testing. After the survey, you will be shown a resource page with links to health information. We will note which links you choose. We will use this information to better understand what types of services men like you are interested in accessing. Privacy Your e-mail address was stored in our protected computer system in an unreadable format. It was kept separate from your survey responses, but linked by a unique study identification number. Your email address will automatically be deleted from our system after the study ends. We will not ask your name or any other identifiable information. We will not record the IP address of your computer. Your survey responses will be combined with the responses of other men. Therefore, nothing that you say will be traced back to you. Risks One known risk to you for taking part in the research project is potential embarrassment or anxiety. Some questions on the survey are personal and sexually explicit. You can refuse to answer any question. You can also decide to not take the survey. The chance of a break of confidentiality is minimal due to the data security procedures at Public Health Solutions, such as password protection, email address encryption, and a firewall system.
