was complete, all courses with less than five studentswere removed from the data. Within the remaining course data, grade distributions varied acrosscourses in that some instructors used the +/- scale of letter grades and others did not. In order tolimit variation, plus and minus grades were removed by compiling them into their respectiveletter grades. For instance, the number of students receiving A+, A, and A- would be summedand labeled as students receiving an A for the class. The grade distribution scale includes A, B,C, D, E, and W. Additionally, in order to control for the diversity of class size across the data set,the percentage of students receiving each final letter grade (i.e. A) were calculated. Lastly, thedata set was limited to
development program. Further, low-SES student data were compared to higher-SES student data to determine if the rate of change was similar or different between the twogroups pre- and post-instructor professional development. For each course, the percentage oflow- and high-SES students receiving different final grades (A, B, C, or DEW) werecalculated.Data Analysis and ResultsOur main interest in this paper was to determine if participating in the professionaldevelopment program had any effect on achievement of low-income students. Studentachievement was measured through final letter grade awarded in each class (A, B, C, orDEW). The data was categorized into two student groups: low-SES and high-SES. The datawere assessed in two ways: (a) comparing

To measure these four areas, we administered a series of surveys and conductedclassroom observations.These data were collected at three points across the academic year: before the start of theprogram (pre), between the fall and spring semesters (mid), and at the end of the program (post).Due to differing completion rates of faculty members for each survey, the number of
