For decades, education researchers, policymakers and other stakeholders have advocated for a wide range of reforms to elementary school instruction. A new study of five urban school districts set out to determine how – and how well – those reforms are being implemented in the classroom.
Harvard University’s Heather Hill joins CPRE senior researcher Caroline Ebby to talk about her article “Learning Lessons From Instruction: Descriptive Results From an Observational Study of Urban Elementary Classrooms.”
Hill discusses her key findings and provides some important takeaways for districts, teachers, researchers, and policymakers across the country.
