What is the Measures of Effective Teaching research project?
The District and the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers (PFT) recently pursued and were awarded a separate grant to participate in the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) research project from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. During the 2009-2010 school year, we began participating in this groundbreaking two-year national project to develop fair, consistent and reliable measures of effective teaching. The goal of the Measures of Effective Teaching (MET) research project is to help educators and policymakers identify and support good teaching by improving the quality of information available about teacher practice. Approximately 3,700 teachers, in a number of districts around the nation, will participate in this project. One example of how this funding will be used includes the opportunity to get feedback from all of our teachers to directly inform strategies to improve the teaching and learning environment through the creation of the Teaching and Learning Conditions Survey.
