Klingbeil, David A.; Osman, David J.; Van Norman, Ethan R.; Berry-Corie, Kimberly; Kim, Jessica S.; Schmitt, Madeline C.; Latham, Alexander D. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2023
Accurate and efficient universal screening is a foundational component of multi-tiered systems of support for reading. By the time students reach middle school, educators often have extant data available to inform screening decisions. Therefore, the decision to collect additional data to inform screening should be considered carefully. The…

Horak Smith, Kathy; Silva, Cecilia; Weinburgh, Molly H.; Jones, Natalie Smith; Riggs, Beth – Electronic Journal for Research in Science & Mathematics Education, 2023
Part of learning a new discipline is learning the language used in the discipline. For mathematics, emergent multilingual learners (EML) must learn English and mathematical symbols in order to make meaning and communicate. The mathematics community's understanding of communication is complex and includes the use of natural language, incorporation…

Austin, Wes; Figlio, David; Goldhaber, Dan; Hanushek, Eric A.; Kilbride, Tara; Koedel, Cory; Lee, Jaeseok Sean; Luo, Jin; Özek, Umut; Parsons, Eric; Rivkin, Steven G.; Sass, Tim R.; Strunk, Katharine O. – National Center for Analysis of Longitudinal Data in Education Research (CALDER), 2021
There is empirical evidence of substantial heterogeneity in economic mobility across geographic areas and the efficacy of schools has been suggested as an explanatory factor. Using administrative microdata from seven states covering nearly 3 million students, we explore the potential role of schools in promoting economic mobility by estimating…

Howell, Julie Michele – ProQuest LLC, 2017
This dissertation study investigated the relationship of a 1:1 initiative with integrated digital learning teacher professional development and teacher self-efficacy. Proprietary survey data from PivotPoint Business Solutions was used to examine if a relationship existed. Phase 1 data were collected in the fall of 2016, prior to the 1:1…

Trice, Toni M. – ProQuest LLC, 2017
Research shows a math achievement gap for at-risk and economically-disadvantaged students in the United States. To address this issue, a Texas school district implemented a 90-minute math block-scheduling program with 8th grade students. Shaped by the academic learning time and social justice theories, the purpose of this quantitative program…

Verlaan, Wolfram; Pearce, Daniel L.; Zeng, Guang – Literacy Research and Instruction, 2017
This study investigated the relationship between listening comprehension and reading comprehension to determine if environmental factors might be contributing to a possible change in the equalization age for these two comprehension modalities from what was theorized by Thomas Sticht. The study employed a counterbalanced design to measure the…

Holzman, Brian; Stroub, Kori; Kennedy, Camila Cigarroa; Lewis, Bethany – Houston Education Research Consortium, 2019
In this brief, we describe the distribution of college prep course offerings across Texas and determine which school characteristics are associated with higher and lower numbers of course offerings. We also examine how college prep course offerings are related to student-level college prep course-taking and, in turn, how course-taking behaviors…

Westine, Carl D. – American Journal of Evaluation, 2016
Little is known empirically about intraclass correlations (ICCs) for multisite cluster randomized trial (MSCRT) designs, particularly in science education. In this study, ICCs suitable for science achievement studies using a three-level (students in schools in districts) MSCRT design that block on district are estimated and examined. Estimates of…
