Li, Wei; Dong, Nianbo; Maynarad, Rebecca; Spybrook, Jessaca; Kelcey, Ben – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2023
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs) are commonly used to evaluate educational interventions, particularly their effectiveness. Recently there has been greater emphasis on using these trials to explore cost-effectiveness. However, methods for establishing the power of cluster randomized cost-effectiveness trials (CRCETs) are limited. This study…

Kelcey, Ben; Spybrook, Jessaca; Dong, Nianbo; Bai, Fangxing – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
Professional development for teachers is regarded as one of the principal pathways through which we can understand and cultivate effective teaching and improve student outcomes. A critical component of studies that seek to improve teaching through professional development is the detailed assessment of the intermediate teacher development processes…

Spybrook, Jessaca; Kelcey, Ben; Dong, Nianbo – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2016
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs), or studies in which intact groups of individuals are randomly assigned to a condition, are becoming more common in evaluation studies of educational programs. A specific type of CRT in which clusters are randomly assigned to treatment within blocks or sites, known as multisite cluster randomized trials (MSCRTs),…

Kelcey, Benjamin; Dong, Nianbo; Spybrook, Jessaca; Cox, Kyle – Journal of Educational and Behavioral Statistics, 2017
Designs that facilitate inferences concerning both the total and indirect effects of a treatment potentially offer a more holistic description of interventions because they can complement "what works" questions with the comprehensive study of the causal connections implied by substantive theories. Mapping the sensitivity of designs to…

Kelcey, Ben; Spybrook, Jessaca; Phelps, Geoffrey; Jones, Nathan; Zhang, Jiaqi – Journal of Experimental Education, 2017
We develop a theoretical and empirical basis for the design of teacher professional development studies. We build on previous work by (a) developing estimates of intraclass correlation coefficients for teacher outcomes using two- and three-level data structures, (b) developing estimates of the variance explained by covariates, and (c) modifying…

Spybrook, Jessaca; Kelcey, Ben – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
Cluster randomized trials (CRTs), or studies in which intact groups of individuals are randomly assigned to a condition, are becoming more common in the evaluation of educational programs, policies, and practices. The website for the National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance (NCEE) reveals they have launched over 30…
