Longitudinal Evaluation of the Mathematics Teacher Exchange: China-England - Final Report

This document describes an evaluation of three aspects of the Mathematics Teacher Exchange (MTE) program, which is designed to enhance mathematics education in England by adopting mastery teaching practices from East Asia. The first evaluation uses a mixed-methods approach to assess the program's impact on teacher practices and student outcomes, finding positive effects but also variability and implementation challenges. The second evaluation employs a longitudinal multiple case study design, revealing changes in teaching practices and student attitudes, with an overall positive impact. The third evaluation focuses on the implementation of the MTE pedagogy in English schools across two cohorts, using interviews and surveys to determine the level of adoption. It finds high implementation rates, with professional development and resources being key to success, though the extent of adoption varies among schools. All evaluations highlight the potential benefits of the MTE program, the importance of professional development, and the need for further evidence to assess long-term effectiveness. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
