Examination of the Validity and Reliability of the Kansas Clinical Assessment Tool. Appendixes. REL 2021-095
Regional Educational Laboratory Central
The "Examination of the Validity and Reliability of the Kansas Clinical Assessment Tool" study explored the validity and reliability of the Kansas Clinical Assessment Tool (K-CAT), a newly developed tool for assessing the performance of teacher candidates. The study found that cooperating teachers reported that the K-CAT accurately represented existing teaching performance standards (face validity). Two skilled raters found that the content of the K-CAT was mostly aligned to existing teaching performance standards (content validity). In addition, K-CAT scores for the same teacher candidate, provided by cooperating teachers and supervising faculty, were positively related (convergent validity). This document presents the following appendixes that accompanies the study: (1) Brief literature review; (2) Data and methods; (3) Detailed analyses; (4) The Kansas Clinical Assessment Too; (5) Crosswalk between the Kansas Clinical Assessment Tool and existing standards; (6) Sample alignment protocol; and (7) Sample cognitive interview protocol.
