Abstract: Attached is a copy of the Donahue Institute’s evaluation of the Department’s Middle School Mathematics Initiative. This two-year curriculum intervention and research project was designed and carried out in collaboration with faculty at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell. Its purpose was to help teachers in under-performing middle schools improve student achievement in mathematics through the use of mathematics coaches emphasizing a systematic approach to lesson planning and implementation appropriate for any mathematics class. The results of this Initiative are positive. However, they are also sobering, as I shall explain below after noting the key features and findings of this project.
