The effectiveness of Tier 2 interventions may depend on the variability of student skills within an intervention group. We investigated the effect of initial variability within intervention groups using data from a large-scale study of ROOTS, a Tier 2 kindergarten mathematics intervention. Our research questions were as follows: Does mathematics…

The effectiveness of Tier 2 interventions may depend on the variability of student skills within an intervention group. We investigated the effect of pretest variability within intervention groups using data from a large-scale study of ROOTS, a Tier 2 kindergarten mathematics intervention. Our research questions were as follows: Does mathematics…

Lina Shanley; Ben Clarke; Keith Smolkowski; Christian T. Doabler; Evangeline C. Kurtz-Nelson; Hank Fien – Grantee Submission, 2021
Effective early mathematics instruction is critical to support long-term mathematics achievement. Given that student response to typical instruction varies, a range of mathematics interventions have been developed to support foundational mathematics development. However, not all students respond to these interventions. To better understand factors…

Ben Clarke; Christian T. Doabler; Jessica Turtura; Keith Smolkowski; Evangeline Kurtz-Nelson; Derek Kosty; Hank Fien; Scott K. Baker – Grantee Submission, 2019
This study examined the role of initial skill in moderating intervention effects of a 50 lesson mathematics intervention program, ROOTS, for at risk kindergarten students focused on developing whole number concepts and skills. The study utilized a randomized block design with at-risk students (n = 592) within classrooms (n = 60) randomly assigned…

Ben Clarke; Christian Doabler; Keith Smolkowski; Evangeline Kurtz Nelson; Hank Fien; Scott K. Baker; Derek Kosty – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
This study examined the efficacy of a kindergarten mathematics intervention program, ROOTS, focused on developing whole-number understanding in the areas of counting and cardinality and operations and algebraic thinking for students at risk in mathematics. The study utilized a randomized block design with students within classrooms randomly…
