Overview

Multi-site evaluation demonstrates enhanced teacher preparation and collaborative program alignment across four universities, highlighting the utility of iterative framework-guided feedback.

Key Points

To evaluate the implementation, internal processes, and evaluation structure of a novel teacher professional development program guided by the PrimeD framework across four university preparation sites.
Implemented a 5-year post-normal evaluation design across four university teacher preparation programs guided by the PrimeD framework.
Assessed three evaluation levels: PD implementation, internal project evaluation, and the overall evaluation design.
Collected qualitative and observational data through monthly Networked Improvement Community (NIC) meetings using Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles and participant focus groups.
PrimeD framework facilitated continuous collaboration between evaluators and implementation teams, maintaining a shared vision across all four institutions.
NIC meeting observations and focus group data informed iterative modifications that improved alignment across preparation programs while preserving site-specific differences.
Evaluation and research practices became routinely integrated into everyday lesson development discussions among candidates, alumni, mentors, and supervisors.
