Executive Summary: Study of Teachers Institute Curriculum Units, 2018
The study of curriculum units developed in 2014 and 2015 in Teachers Institute seminars in New Haven and elsewhere — and in the Yale National Initiative — found that most curriculum units are clearly written, accurate, and usable by another teacher. In New Haven, nearly all teachers were satisfied with the units they had used…Most teachers reported that, compared with commercial curriculum units they have used, Institute units elicit the same or greater student attention, interest, and motivation and lead to the same or higher mastery.
