This $632,893 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) is funding a study on how teachers' expertise is positioned within a "nested learning system" of mathematics-focused Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) in elementary and middle schools. The primary research questions aim to understand how teachers experience mathematics-focused PLC meetings and what perspectives various stakeholders have on the role of these PLCs. The study will use observation, interview, survey, and document analysis data to analyze connections between individual teachers' understandings, PLC discourse, and collaborative networks. The award recipient is North Carolina State University, a leading research institution with significant federal grant and contract work across STEM domains. No sub-awards are planned for this project, which has an award period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2028.
