Analyzing Student Achievement in Statewide, Urban, and Rural Systemic Initiatives

五个研究问题将指导研究小组的活动：1 -学生评估数据在多大程度上可以在改革地点之间适当地联系起来？为了提高改革成果的可比性，在哪些网站上采用哪种类型的链接策略是合适的？如何将有关工艺驱动、饱和和对齐的信息在各工厂间结合起来，以支持有意义的推论？4 -考虑到数据集中已有的数据和从站点收集的数据，哪些统计方法可以支持从站点推断出的“因果关系”，哪些统计方法可以支持从改革活动和随后的学生评估结果之间的共变中推断出的“因果关系”？未来的改革工作应该如何组织和报告，以促进改革场所内部和跨场所的改进推理？

Five study questions will guide the activities of the research team:1 - to what extent can the student assessment data be appropriately linked across reform sites?2 - What types of linking strategies are appropriate in which of the sites to improve the comparability of reform outcomes?3 - How can information on the process drivers, saturation and alignment be combined across sites to support meaningful inferences?4 - Given the data already available in the data sets and the data to be gathered from the sites, what statistical methods can support inferences about "causality" from the sites, what statistical methods can support inferences about "casuality" from covariation among reform activities and swubsequent student assessment results?5 - How should future reform efforts be structured and reported to facilitate improved inferences both within and across reform sites?
