#  Developing Ambitious Mathematics Instruction Through MQI Coaching 

 



In February 2019, the Center for Education Policy Research at Harvard University published research findings from a randomized controlled trial on MQI Coaching.

In 2014, we began to deliver virtual mathematics coaching to teachers in two public school districts in a mid-western state. As part of this project, we recruited 142 teachers (Grades 3–8), assigning 72 teachers to participate in our program (treatment group), and 70 teachers to a control group. Teachers in the treatment group videotaped their classroom mathematics instruction, then met with coaches to view and analyze that instruction, and to plan for improvement. Coaches and teachers used the Mathematical Quality of Instruction (MQI) protocol to structure this work. In total, 23 coaches at Harvard University worked with 68 teachers, meeting nine times, on average, over the course of the 2014–2015 year. Most teachers participated in 10 or more MQI Coaching Cycles.
