Abstract
Various national journals have published articles on mathematics and science teaching. However, assessment of these teachers is a topic that is not commonly published. This article discusses a science and mathematics partnership that the College of Charleston has successfully implemented with four local districts, which improves the content knowledge of their teachers that participate. The purpose of this article is to show how the Reformed Observation Teaching Protocol (RTOP) can be used as an appropriate assessment device to observe how teachers may adjust instruction to match new national mathematics and science standards. The 11 grant-participating teachers that were observed for this study rated consistently higher on the RTOP than the 25 non-grantparticipating counterparts that were observed.
