Temkin, Deborah; Thompson, Joy A.; Gabriel, Alex; Fulks, Emily; Sun, Sarah; Rodriguez, Yosmary – Phi Delta Kappan, 2021
As states consider non-academic measures of school quality for their accountability plans under the Every Student Succeeds Act, few are choosing to focus on the school climate in which students learn. That's not a surprise, given concerns about the validity and usefulness of existing climate surveys. However, the authors argue, a recent study…

Astramovich, Randall L. – Professional School Counseling, 2017
School counselors participated in a study examining their program evaluation interest and skills. Findings suggest that school counselors understand the importance of program evaluation, yet they may lack the skills and confidence to successfully engage in program evaluation activities. Professional development training may be an important method…

Recent developments in students' assessment have required change in teachers' understanding and practices of assessment. Assessing student learning is an important skill that all teachers need to develop for effective teaching.

Rankin, Jenny Grant – Online Submission, 2013
There is extensive research on the benefits of making data-informed decisions, but research also contains evidence many educators incorrectly interpret student data. Meanwhile, the types of detailed labeling on over-the-counter medication have been shown to improve use of non-medication products, as well. However, data systems most educators use…

In the summer of 2013, the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) issued public, highly-visible ratings of teacher education programs as part of their ambitious and controversial Teacher Prep Review.

Cannata, Marisa; Rubin, Mollie; Goldring, Ellen; Grissom, Jason A.; Neumerski, Christine M.; Drake, Timothy A.; Schuermann, Patrick – Educational Administration Quarterly, 2017
Purpose: New teacher effectiveness measures have the potential to influence how principals hire teachers as they provide new and richer information about candidates to a traditionally information-poor process. This article examines how the hiring process is changing as a result of teacher evaluation reforms. Research Methods: Data come from…

Institutional report cards are increasingly being used by higher educational institutions to present academic outcomes to external audiences of prospective students and parents, as well as program and institutional evaluators.

Schildkamp, Kim; Poortman, Cindy; Luyten, Hans; Ebbeler, Johanna – School Effectiveness and School Improvement, 2017
Although data-based decision making can lead to improved student achievement, data are often not used effectively in schools. This paper therefore focuses on conditions for effective data use. We studied the extent to which school organizational characteristics, data characteristics, user characteristics, and collaboration influenced data use for…

Fecenko, Anne Deidre – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The role of teacher assistants has paralleled the changes in education over the years. The teacher assistants, who numbered 1.3 million in 2008 and are projected to increase by 10 percent by 2018 (Office of Labor Statistics, 2012) are valuable members of our educational communities providing support to students with special needs. These teacher…

Copp, Derek T. – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2016
In the quest to improve measured educational outcomes national governments across the The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and beyond have instituted large-scale assessment (LSA) policies in their public schools. Controversy almost universally follows the implementation of such testing, related to such topics as: a)…

Brown, Chris; Zhang, Dell – Journal of Educational Administration, 2016
Purpose: Whilst beneficial, the use of evidence to improve teaching and learning in schools is proving difficult to achieve in practice. The purpose of this paper is to shed new light on this issue by examining the applicability of a model of rational behaviour as relates to the notion of evidence-informed practice (EIP). Specifically, exploring…

Martinez, Maria Emilia; Bain, Steve Frank – Research in Higher Education Journal, 2014
Current research and policy literature indicate an increase in remediation courses nationwide (Tierney & Garcia, 2011; Parsad & Lewis, 2003). However, the most critical theme in research suggests variability and possible inaccuracies in remedial and developmental education data (Kirst, 2007; Venezia, Kirst & Antonio, 2004). In…

Jabbar, Huriya; Li, Dongmei M. – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2016
School choice policies, such as charter schools and vouchers, are in part designed to induce competition between schools. While several studies have examined the impact of private school competition on public schools, few studies have explored school leaders' perceptions of private school competitors. This study examines the extent to which public…
