Abstract: The Promoting Student
Success in Algebra I (PSSA) study aims
to provide policy-makers and
practitioners with a deeper
understanding of how instructional
practices, professional development,
instructional coaching, curriculum
alignment, and expanded learning/
double-dose algebra can serve as
possible avenues for improving student
success in mathematics and particularly
Algebra I, a critical gateway course for
which student success is a strong
predictor of high-school graduation.
The PSSA study will incorporate
research findings, school-based
perspectives from education
practitioners, and case studies of district
and school sites that are implementing
exemplary initiatives in the five topical
areas that represent common leverage
points for addressing student needs in
mathematics. This work will make an
important contribution by producing
actionable information for educators
and policymakers about how to promote
success in Algebra I for all students
while simultaneously increasing the
demands on teacher effectiveness and
student performance in preparation for
the Common Core State Standards for
Mathematics (CCSSM). The study
centers around three major research
questions as follows:
(1) What is the evidence to support
practices or strategies in the areas of
instructional practices, professional
development, instructional coaching,
