Zamarro, Gema; Anderson, Kaitlin; Steele, Jennifer; Miller, Trey – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
The purpose of this study is to study the performance of different methods (inverse probability weighting and estimation of informative bounds) to control for differential attrition by comparing the results of different methods using two datasets: an original dataset from Portland Public Schools (PPS) subject to high rates of differential…

Friedman-Krauss, Allison H.; Connors, Maia C.; Morris, Pamela A. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
As a result of the 1998 reauthorization of Head Start, the Department of Health and Human Services conducted a national evaluation of the Head Start program. The goal of Head Start is to improve the school readiness skills of low-income children in the United States. There is a substantial body of experimental and correlational research that has…

Jones, Nathan; Steiner, Peter; Cook, Tom – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
In this study the authors test whether matching using intact local groups improves causal estimates over those produced using propensity score matching at the student level. Like the recent analysis of Wilde and Hollister (2007), they draw on data from Project STAR to estimate the effect of small class sizes on student achievement. They propose a…

Vig, Rozy; Taylor, Megan W.; Star, Jon R.; Chao, Theodore – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
The concept of "implementation fidelity" is broadly used to capture the extent to which an intervention is executed as intended by the designers of the intervention (Century, Rudnick, & Freeman, 2010; Huntley, 2005, McNaught, Tarr, & Sears, 2010, Munter, 2010). Though implementation fidelity instruments are often used to assess…

Preliminary Findings from an Efficacy Study of a Distributed Leadership Model of School Organization
Borman, Kathryn; Murphy, Scott Patrick; LoSasso, Joseph; Schlanger, Lea – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
A widely cited meta-analysis of the effects of comprehensive school reform and student achievement (Borman, Hewes, Overman, and Brown, 2003) found Modern Red Schoolhouse-developed whole-school intervention programs to boost student achievement outcomes at rates on par with or higher than other comprehensive school reforms such as "America's…

Cavalluzzo, Linda; Geraghty, Thomas M.; Steele, Jennifer L.; Alexander, Jane K. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
The last two decades have witnessed a vast expansion in the use of education data to improve classroom instruction and raise student achievement. Schools and districts face important challenges in implementing increased data use for instructional improvement. One key challenge is the need for teachers and administrators to have "data…

Schochet, Peter Z. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2013
In randomized control trials (RCTs) of educational interventions, there is a growing literature on impact estimation methods to adjust for missing student outcome data using such methods as multiple imputation, the construction of nonresponse weights, casewise deletion, and maximum likelihood methods (see, for example, Allison, 2002; Graham, 2009;…

Hulleman, Chris S.; Cordray, David S. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2010
This paper outlines a method of determining the achieved relative strength (ARS) of an intervention by calculating the extent to which core intervention components are present in both the treatment and control condition. Using data from several examples the authors demonstrate how to calculate ARS indices, and subsequently how to incorporate them…

Berg, Juliette; Torrente, Catalina; Aber, J. Lawrence; Jones, Stephanie M.; Brown, Joshua L. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2010
The 4Rs Program (Reading, Writing, Respect and Resolution) is a "dual focus" whole school universal intervention designed to promote literacy development and social-emotional learning, that is currently being rigorously evaluated using a school-randomized trial of 18 elementary schools (9 intervention, 9 control) in New York City. The…
