The Early Childhood Environment Rating Scales, including the "Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale--Revised" (Harms et al., 2005) and the "Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale, Third Edition" (Harms et al., 2015) are the most widely used observational assessments in early childhood learning environments. The most recent…

Moylan, Laura A.; Johnson, Evelyn S.; Zheng, Yuzhu – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2022
This study describes the development of a special education teacher observation protocol detailing the elements of effective decoding instruction. The psychometric properties of the protocol were investigated through many-facet Rasch measurement (MFRM). Video observations of classroom decoding instruction from 20 special education teachers across…

Forrow, Lauren; Starling, Jennifer; Gill, Brian – Regional Educational Laboratory Mid-Atlantic, 2023
The Every Student Succeeds Act requires states to identify schools with low-performing student subgroups for Targeted Support and Improvement or Additional Targeted Support and Improvement. Random differences between students' true abilities and their test scores, also called measurement error, reduce the statistical reliability of the performance…

Regional Educational Laboratory Mid-Atlantic, 2023
This Snapshot highlights key findings from a study that used Bayesian stabilization to improve the reliability (long-term stability) of subgroup proficiency measures that the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) uses to identify schools for Targeted Support and Improvement (TSI) or Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI). The…

Chiang, Hanley; McCullough, Moira; Lipscomb, Stephen; Gill, Brian – National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance, 2016
States and districts need ways of measuring principal performance that correctly identify effective principals. Unfortunately, existing research offers little guidance to policymakers on which types of performance measures provide valid information about principals' contributions to student achievement. States have therefore had to develop…

Chaplin, Duncan; Gill, Brian; Thompkins, Allison; Miller, Hannah – Regional Educational Laboratory Mid-Atlantic, 2014
Responding to federal and state prompting, school districts across the country are implementing new teacher evaluation systems that aim to increase the rigor of evaluation ratings, better differentiate effective teaching, and support personnel and staff development initiatives that promote teacher effectiveness and ultimately improve student…

Bowen, Naomi – ProQuest LLC, 2017
The purpose of this research was to determine if the Pennsylvania Value-Added Assessment System Average Growth Index (PVAAS AGI) scores, derived from standardized tests and calculated for Pennsylvania schools, provide a valid and reliable assessment of teacher effectiveness, as these scores are currently used to derive 15% of the annual…

Wood, J. Luke; Harris, Frank, III; Roesch, Scott C. – Journal of College Student Development, 2017
In recent years, scholars have focused intently on improving success rates for men of color (notably Black, Latino, Native American, and Southeast Asian men) in community colleges. To address outcome disparities, many colleges have sought to employ targeted interventions (e.g., programs, policies, and practices); however, many of these efforts are…

Teh, Bing-ru; Chiang, Hanley; Lipscomb, Stephen; Gill, Brian – Regional Educational Laboratory Mid-Atlantic, 2014
This study examines the accuracy of performance ratings from the Framework for Leadership (FFL), Pennsylvania's tool for evaluating the leadership practices of principals and assistant principals. The study analyzed three key properties of the FFL: internal consistency, score variation, and concurrent validity. To measure the internal consistency…

Bing-ru, Teh; Chiang, Hanley; Lipscomb, Stephen; Gill, Brian – Regional Educational Laboratory Mid-Atlantic, 2014
A new study analyzed data from the 2012/13 pilot of the Framework for Leadership (FFL), Pennsylvania's tool for evaluating the leadership practices of principals and assistant principals. Based on the FFL scores of 336 principals and 69 assistant principals evaluated by their supervisors in the 2012/13 school year, this interim report found that…

Cress, Cynthia; Lambert, Matthew C.; Epstein, Michael H. – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2016
Strength-based assessment of behaviors in preschool children provides evidence of emotional and behavioral skills in children, rather than focusing primarily on weaknesses identified by deficit-based assessments. The Preschool Behavioral and Emotional Rating Scales (PreBERS) is a normative assessment of emotional and behavioral strengths in…

Kurz, Alexander; Elliott, Stephen N.; Kettler, Ryan J.; Yel, Nedim – Educational Assessment, 2014
This study provides initial evidence supporting intended score interpretations for the purpose of assessing opportunity to learn (OTL) via an online teacher log. MyiLOGS yields 5 scores related to instructional time, content, and quality. Based on data from 46 middle school classes, the evidence indicated that (a) MyiLOGS has high usability, (b)…

Willoughby, Michael T.; Blair, Clancy B. – Grantee Submission, 2016
This study tested whether individual executive function (EF) tasks were better characterized as formative or reflective indicators of the latent construct of EF. EF data that were collected as part of the Family Life Project (FLP), a prospective longitudinal study of families who were recruited at the birth of a new child (N = 1,292), when…

Lipscomb, Stephen; Terziev, Jeffrey; Chaplin, Duncan – Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., 2015
Like many states throughout the nation, Pennsylvania is in the midst of major reforms to its teacher evaluation system. Under the new system, the state will base annual evaluations on several measures, including supervisor observations using the Framework for Teaching (FFT) and, for many teachers, their contributions to student achievement growth…
