TPD study Research Questions
RQ1: What are the TPD designs for IE’s programs with respect to
the types of TPD provided and the duration and intensity of each
TPD component? How do TPD designs compare across projects?
RQ2: How do the actual TPD documents (e.g., training manuals) in
IE’s programs reflect the intended design? How much time do the
TPD documents allocate for various TPD activities? How do the TPD
documents compare across projects?
RQ3: What does actual implementation of TPD in IE’s programs
look like in classrooms, training venues and school cluster
meetings? How does the actual implementation compare with
stated TPD design and documents? How does the actual
implementation of TPD compare across projects? 6 RTI TPD study
