To study the efficacy of the model and potential for scale-up in California and nationally, TEEL researchers are studying the implementation of the TEEL model at seven sites in California, Arizona, and Texas. The TEEL projects use a research design that responds to the gap in the research literature in the area of large-scale, mixed-methods empirical studies that provide definitive information on the efficacy and generalisability of educational interventions. The research uses a quasi-experimental design to compare the development of the knowledge, beliefs, and practices of pre-service and beginning teachers in the TEEL experimental programs with those of control group student teachers in the un-restructured control group teacher education programs. The mixed methods study uses pre-and post- surveys, interviews, and classroom observation of student teachers and faculty in the control and experimental conditions to examine program impact. Comparisons between the seven sites are used to examine potential for scale-up.
