González-Brenes, José P.; Huang, Yun – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2015
Classification evaluation metrics are often used to evaluate adaptive tutoring systems-- programs that teach and adapt to humans.

Smith, William C.; Rowland, Julie – Journal of School Choice, 2014
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.
