Duncan J. Mayer; Victor Groza – American Journal of Evaluation, 2025

Clemens, Nathan H.; Fuchs, Douglas – Reading Research Quarterly, 2022
Many seem to believe that researcher-made tests are unnecessary, if not inappropriate, for evaluating reading comprehension interventions.

Parent trigger laws have gained momentum nationally under the premise that they will increase local authority by amplifying parental voice in the decision to turn around "failing" schools.
