Abstract

The design and development of international sampling procedures for FIRSTMATH was directed at resolving issues related to definitions, sampling, and methods before launching a larger comparative study of beginning mathematics teachers. Through the process of planning and enacting the FIRSTMATH study the research team was able to (a) develop a common definition of a “beginning teacher,” (b) determine feasible stratified sampling plans, (c) gain access to teachers and classrooms to collect data, and (d) achieve high response rates.
