An Exploratory study linking teacher professional development with changes in teaching practices

For this NSF-funded (NSF 0833524) research project, we examined the impact of technology-intensive professional development (PD) on classroom practices through studies of PD designers and teacher participants. We produced a technology implementation framework, which is integral to our current Technology Observation Protocol project.
