Using Knowledge of Children’s Mathematics Thinking in Classroom Teaching: An Experimental Study
TL;DR: The authors investigated teachers' use of knowledge from research on children's mathematical thinking and how their students' achievement is influenced as a result, and found that experimental teachers encouraged students to use a variety of problem-solving strategies, and they listened to processes their students used significantly more than did control teachers.
The Rand Change Agent Study Revisited: Macro Perspectives and Micro Realities
TL;DR: The Rand Change Agent study as discussed by the authors found that effective projects were characterized by a process of mutual adaptation rather than uniform implementation, and that local factors (rather than federal program guidelines or project methods) dominated project outcomes.

Put to the Test: The Effects of External Testing on Teachers
TL;DR: In this article, an extensive qualitative study of the role of external testing in elementary schools led to propositions about the effects of such tests on teachers, concluding that testing programs substantially reduce the time available for instruction and potentially reduce the capacities of teachers to teach content and to use methods and materials that are incompatible with standardized testing formats.

TL;DR: In this article, 10 second grade students participated in a year-long project in which instruction was generally compatible with a socioconstructivist theory of knowledge and recent recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics.
