The regression discontinuity design (RDD) has the potential to yield findings with causal validity approaching that of the randomized controlled trial (RCT). However, Schochet (2008a) estimated that, on average, an RDD study of an education intervention would need to include three to four times as many schools or students as an RCT to produce…

Schwartz, Robert M.; Hobsbaum, Angela; Briggs, Connie; Scull, Janet – International Journal of Disability, Development and Education, 2009
Reynolds and Wheldall reviewed research relating to Reading Recovery (RR) and concluded that "RR has provided an excellent model in demonstrating how to plan, promote, and implement an intervention across an educational system and how to design a professional development programme" (2007, p. 218). They balanced this praise with concerns about the…

One methodological challenge for evaluators is linking program implementation factors typically measured at the classroom or…
