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 -在多大程度上可以适当地将学生评估数据与改革地点联系起来？2.在哪些地点，何种类型的联系战略适合于提高改革成果的可比性？3 -如何将有关过程驱动因素、饱和度和一致性的信息跨站点组合，以支持有意义的推断？4.鉴于数据集中已有的数据和从现场收集的数据，什么统计方法可以支持从现场推断“因果关系”，什么统计方法可以支持从改革活动和学生评估结果之间的协变推断“一致性”？5 -未来的改革工作应如何组织和报告，以促进改进改革地点内部和之间的推论？

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?
