The MET project is releasing progress reports as its research and analysis progresses. Through these reports, practitioners and policy makers have quick access to the data developed through the project in order to begin thinking through the practical implications of the work prior to release of the final report in the summer or fall of 2012.

In January 2012, the MET project released its second set of preliminary findings, which focuses on classroom observations and offers take-aways on creating high-quality observations systems:

• Gathering Feedback for Teaching: Policy and Practice Brief
• Gathering Feedback for Teaching: Research Paper
• Summary of Classroom Observation Report: Key Components of a High Quality Observation System

In December 2010, the project published preliminary findings about the use of student perception surveys in evaluating teaching and providing teachers with relevant feedback:

• Learning About Teaching: Policy Brief
• Learning About Teaching: Research Report
