Abstract
We present a classroom observation instrument (the Interactive Teaching Map) designed to measure implementation of a comprehensive educational program targeting classroom teaching strategies. Procedures for using the Interactive Teaching Map to collect data and to construct reliable measures of program implementation and outcome are described. It is argued that implementation analysis that incorporates measures constructed from classroom observation data can add to traditional experimental-control group comparison designs for assessing program effectiveness in diverse field settings and for providing formative feedback to program staff.Keywords
