The purpose of this study was to conduct an evaluation of the pilot program of the Turnaround Arts reform using a comparative interrupted time series design. Because the only existing evaluation of the Turnaround Arts pilot program lacks clarity and transparency, reanalyzing this program is important to understand the effects of the initiative. I…

Andrew P. Jaciw – American Journal of Evaluation, 2024
In the current socio-political climate, there is an extra urgency to evaluate whether program impacts are distributed fairly across important student groups in education. Both experimental and quasi-experimental designs (QEDs) can contribute to answering this question. This work demonstrates that QEDs that compare outcomes across higher-level…

In this essay, we explore program reviews as important sites for the tension Peter Ewell defines at the core of outcomes assessment practices: that is, between assessing for accountability and assessing for improvement. We address this tension through the example of our Industrial Design program on our urban campus in New York City. In exploring…

Suzanne Nobrega; Kasper Edwards; Mazen El Ghaziri; Lauren Giacobbe; Serena Rice; Laura Punnett – American Journal of Evaluation, 2024
Program evaluations that lack experimental design often fail to produce evidence of impact because there is no available control group. Theory-based evaluations can generate evidence of a program's causal effects if evaluators collect evidence along the theorized causal chain and identify possible competing causes. However, few methods are…

Kapp; Andrea Joyce; Anna Wallington; Academic Autism Spectrum Partnership in Research and Education (AASPIRE) Outcomes Project Team – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2025
People are increasingly recognizing the need for service interventions to improve the lives of autistic adults. However, less is known about how to best evaluate such services. We aimed to identify (1) which self-reported outcomes are most important to measure when evaluating the effectiveness of services for autistic adults and (2) what survey…

Groenendijk, E. R.; Van Heijst, B. F. C.; Geurts, H. M. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
There are currently no old-age specific interventions for autistic adults. Therefore, in this explorative study, we examined the possible effects of a co-designed psychoeducation program for older autistic adults (55+ years), with a multiple case study design (N = 9, age 56-73 years; Netherlands Trial Register (code Trial NL5670)). For each…
