Johnson, Evelyn S.; Zheng, Yuzhu; Crawford, Angela R.; Moylan, Laura A. – Journal of Experimental Education, 2022
In this study, we examined the scoring and generalizability assumptions of an explicit instruction (EI) special education teacher observation protocol using many-faceted Rasch measurement (MFRM). Video observations of classroom instruction from 48 special education teachers across four states were collected. External raters (n = 20) were trained…

Johnson, Evelyn S.; Zheng, Yuzhu; Crawford, Angela R.; Moylan, Laura A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2021
In this study, we examined the relationship of special education teachers' performance on the Recognizing Effective Special Education Teachers (RESET) Explicit Instruction observation protocol with student growth on academic measures. Special education teachers provided video-recorded observations of three instructional lessons along with data…

Johnson, Evelyn S.; Crawford, Angela R.; Zheng, Yuzhu; Moylan, Laura A. – Educational Measurement: Issues and Practice, 2021
In this study, we compared the results of 27 special education teachers' evaluations using two different observation instruments, the Framework for Teaching (FFT), and the Explicit Instruction observation protocol of the Recognizing Effective Special Education Teachers (RESET) observation system. Results indicate differences in the rank-ordering…

Crawford, Angela R.; Johnson, Evelyn S.; Zheng, Yuzhu Z.; Moylan, Laura A. – School Science and Mathematics, 2020
This study describes the initial psychometric evaluation of an Understanding Procedures observation rubric. The instrument is intended to provide feedback to teachers working in mathematics intervention settings. The rubric translates the research base from mathematics education and special education into practice in the form of specific items and…

Johnson, Evelyn S.; Zheng, Yuzhu; Moylan, Laura A.; Crawford, Angela – Grantee Submission, 2020
In this study, we investigated factors that influence raters' application of the scoring criteria of an Explicit Instruction (EI) observation protocol using many-faceted Rasch measurement (MFRM) and think aloud analysis. Specifically, we investigated the extent to which raters are able to consistently represent the scoring criteria in the EI…

Johnson, Evelyn S.; Zheng, Yuzhu; Crawford, Angela R.; Moylan, Laura A. – Grantee Submission, 2020
In this study, we examined the relationship of special education teachers' performance on the RESET Explicit Instruction observation protocol with student growth on academic measures. Special education teachers provided video recorded observations of three instructional lessons along with data from standardized, curriculum-based academic measures…

Johnson, Evelyn S.; Zheng, Yuzhu; Crawford, Angela R.; Moylan, Laura A. – Journal of Special Education, 2019
In this study, we developed an Explicit Instruction special education teacher observation rubric that details the elements of explicit instruction and tested its psychometric properties using many-facet Rasch measurement (MFRM). Video observations of classroom instruction from 30 special education teachers across three states were collected.…
