CRDG Supports DOE Standards-Based Education Initiatives

As schools and teachers work to implement the No Child Left Behind Act, CRDG’s Program Research and Evaluation (PRE) Section is working behind the scenes to support their efforts. The Hawai‘i Department of Education created the TOTAL (Transforming Our Teaching and Learning) professional development modules to further the understanding of standards-based education and its implementation. PRE is evaluating the staff development and training portions of the process, providing feedback as the cadretraining model (train-the-trainer model) is implemented from the state level to the classroom level.
