| The IU School of Education has received a $1.3 million grant from the National Science Foundation to assess data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) toward improving mathematics education among U.S. schoolchildren.
NAEP is the test that will be used to measure success of the "No Child Left Behind" legislation passed by Congress earlier this year. Peter Kloosterman, IU professor of mathematics education and co-principal
investigator, said there are two main goals for the three-year project:
providing interpretation for teachers and school administrators
of the findings from NAEP from 1990 to 2000, and creating materials
to improve classroom teaching and teacher professional development.
