A Longitudinal Hierarchical Linear Model for Estimating School Effects and Their Stability.

Willms, J. Douglas; Raudenbush, Stephen W.

Journal of Educational Measurement, v26 n3 p209-32 Fall 1989

A general longitudinal model is presented for estimating school effects and their stability. The model, capable of separating true changes from sampling and measurement error, controls statistically for effects of factors exogenous to the school system. The model is illustrated with data from large cohorts of students in Scotland. (SLD)
