PMR2

Practical Measures, Routines and Representations for Improving Instruction (PMR2) is developing tools to support practitioners to engage in frequent, systematic, disciplined inquiry about instructional improvement in mathematics.

Practical measures are designed to provide rapid feedback that enables practitioners to assess and improve their practices. They are in contrast to research measures -- which tend to be laborious to administer and thus unable to rapidly inform implementation -- and accountability measures -- which tend to be unable to pinpoint where to take action. We developed a system of practical measures that provide information about  aspects of middle-grades mathematics teaching and professional learning.
