Abstract
This study examined the use of the PrimeD framework to improve secondary (Grades 7-12) mathematics teacher
preparation. The study used design-based research through a four-year treatment-only mixed methods
triangulation design. Data sources were program documents and assessments, focus groups, interviews, and
field experience observations. The Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol with Performance Descriptors
(RTOP+) measured candidates’ teaching quality at three time points during the student teaching internship. As
the program incorporated more features of PrimeD, supervisors and mentor teachers increasingly took on
leadership roles and each subsequent cohort demonstrated stronger growth on the RTOP+
