Freeman, Jennifer; Sugai, George – TEACHING Exceptional Children, 2013
Special educators are required to use evidence-based academic and behavioral interventions in their classrooms (U.S. Department of Education, 2010). No rigorous and comprehensive database currently exists to support educators. Within the field of special education, single-subject research is the primary research methodology (Horner, Carr, Halle,…

Zhu, Pei; Jacob, Robin; Bloom, Howard; Xu, Zeyu – MDRC, 2011
This paper provides practical guidance for researchers who are designing and analyzing studies that randomize schools--which comprise three levels of clustering (students in classrooms in schools)--to measure intervention effects on student academic outcomes when information on the middle level (classrooms) is missing. This situation arises…

It is easier than ever to survey stakeholders about issues that confront one's district. A survey offers a way to collect information from many people in a short time at a reasonable cost. The information one collects can be descriptive, such as information solicited from those who voted on the district's budget, including age, income, or whether…

Cain, Tim – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2011
Teachers' classroom-based action research is sometimes misunderstood by those who undertake it and support it, in three respects.

Second, there is little understanding as to why action research is necessarily…

Skeans, Sharon S.; Smith, Robert G. – School Administrator, 2011
Educational evaluation in too many states and school districts, if done at all across an institution, has been reduced to crunching test scores in only the subject areas and grade levels tested. While measuring student achievement in reliable and valid ways is an important part of the mission of education, it is not enough. What's also needed is a…
