Johnston, Jessica; Riley, Jessica; Ryan, Carey; Kelly-Vance, Lisa – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2015
Summer setback, which is defined as a decline in academic achievement over the summer months, occurs in many academic areas but seems especially problematic in reading. We assessed students from a midwestern parochial school serving predominantly students from a low--socioeconomic status background for their reading achievement before they left…

Zimmermann, Friederike; Schütte, Kerstin; Taskinen, Päivi; Köller, Olaf – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2013
Student misbehavior is a pervasive problem and may seriously affect academic achievement. Previous research hints at different effects depending on whether achievement tests or achievement judgments are used as academic outcomes. Previous research also indicates that low achievement can conversely contribute to problem behavior and that low…

Chiu, Shao-I; Lee, Jiezhi; Liang, Tsanglang – School Psychology International, 2013
Although most studies reveal a relationship between the teacher's pet phenomenon with classroom conflict, it does not necessarily cause classroom conflict. This study confirms the model fit for teacher authority, the existence of the teacher's pet phenomenon and its relationship to classroom conflict and students' self-adjustment, as well as…

Pon, Kathleen – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This mixed design study investigated the predictive and instructional uses of two different types of interim mathematics assessments given in two different districts. One district administered the same summative type of assessment three times a year, while the other district administered a different interim assessment after six-week intervals of…

Reed, Deborah K.; Cummings, Kelli D.; Schaper, Andrew; Biancarosa, Gina – Review of Educational Research, 2014
Recent studies indicate that examiners make a number of intentional and unintentional errors when administering reading assessments to students. Because these errors introduce construct-irrelevant variance in scores, the fidelity of test administrations could influence the results of evaluation studies. To determine how assessment fidelity is…

Vig, Rozy; Taylor, Megan W.; Star, Jon R.; Chao, Theodore – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2014
The concept of "implementation fidelity" is broadly used to capture the extent to which an intervention is executed as intended by the designers of the intervention (Century, Rudnick, & Freeman, 2010; Huntley, 2005, McNaught, Tarr, & Sears, 2010, Munter, 2010). Though implementation fidelity instruments are often used to assess…
