How will the results of the MET project be used?
The project seeks to determine which teaching practices, skills, and teacher knowledge positively impact student learning. Ultimately, these measures of effective teaching will give teachers the feedback (including exemplary practices) they need to improve. In addition, a greater understanding about which teaching practices, skills, and knowledge positively impact student learning will allow states and districts to develop teacher evaluation systems that will help strengthen all aspects of teaching—from recruitment through retention.
