This study addressed the effects of Strategies for Teaching Reading, Information, and Vocabulary Effectively (STRIVE), a distributed professional development (PD) model designed to help teachers implement reading comprehension and vocabulary practices in fourth grade social studies classes. Schools (n = 81 schools, n = 235 teachers, n = 4,757…

Fitzgerald, Kaitlyn G.; Tipton, Elizabeth – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
As the body of scientific evidence about effective policies and practices grows, so does the need to effectively communicate that evidence to policy-makers and practitioners. Clearinghouses have emerged to facilitate the evidence-based decision-making process for education practitioners. While the results and methods for developing and analyzing…

Sims, Sam; Anders, Jake; Zieger, Laura – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Comparative interrupted time series (CITS) designs evaluate impact by modeling the relative deviation from trends among a treatment and comparison group after an intervention. The broad applicability of the design means it is widely used in education research. Like all non-experimental evaluation methods however, the internal validity of a given…

Paredes, Valentina – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
In this paper we study the effect on the math gender gap from attending a coeducational school with single-sex classrooms versus attending a school with coeducational classrooms. That is, we compare the performance of girls versus boys within schools with single-sex classrooms compared to the performance of girls versus boys within schools with…

Eadie, Patricia; Stark, Hannah; Snow, Pamela; Gold, Lisa; Watts, Amy; Shingles, Beth; Orsini, Francesca; Connell, Judy; Goldfeld, Sharon – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Teacher classroom instructional practice can be a powerful influence on student learning. The Classroom Promotion of Oral Language randomized controlled trial tested whether teacher professional learning focused on promoting oral language in classrooms could improve teacher knowledge and classroom instruction. This study focuses on evaluating the…

de Barros, Andreas; Ganimian, Alejandro J.; Venkatachalam, Anuja – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
This study is one of the first evaluations of independent (i.e., self-guided) practice in math in a developing country. We randomly assigned 4,461 students in grades 4-7 in "unaided" private schools across seven Indian cities who were using a computer-assisted learning software to: (a) a control group, in which they moved from one unit…

Soland, James; Thum, Yeow Meng – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Sources of longitudinal achievement data are increasing thanks partially to the expansion of available interim assessments. These tests are often used to monitor the progress of students, classrooms, and schools within and across school years. Yet, few statistical models equipped to approximate the distinctly seasonal patterns in the data exist,…

Williams, Ryan; Citkowicz, Martyna; Miller, David I.; Lindsay, Jim; Walters, Kirk – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Since the standards-based education movement began in the early 1990s, mathematics education reformers have developed and evaluated many interventions to support students in mastering more rigorous content. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of U.S. PreK-12 mathematics intervention effects from 1991 to 2017 to study sources of…

Cowan, James; Goldhaber, Dan; Theobald, Roddy – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
We use statewide data from Massachusetts to investigate teacher performance evaluations as a measure of teaching effectiveness. Schools tend to classify most of their teachers as proficient, but we document substantial variation across schools in the extent to which ratings differentiate teachers. Using event study and teacher fixed effects…

Hao, Tao; Wang, Zhe; Ardasheva, Yuliya – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
This meta-analysis reviewed research between 2012 and 2018 focused on technology-assisted second language (L2) vocabulary learning for English as a foreign language (EFL) learner. A total of 45 studies of 2,374 preschool-to-college EFL students contributed effect sizes to this meta-analysis. Compared with traditional instructional methods, the…

Kirksey, J. Jacob; Gottfried, Michael A. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2021
Over the past decade, identifying how schools might reduce student absenteeism has moved to the forefront of education policy. Yet little research has examined whether school type itself is important. We focus on the influence of Catholic schools using data from the past decade--the most relevant policy context for addressing absenteeism. The…

Hallberg, Kelly; Williams, Ryan; Swanlund, Andrew – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
More aggregate data on school performance is available than ever before, opening up new possibilities for applied researchers interested in assessing the effectiveness of school-level interventions quickly and at a relatively low cost by implementing comparative interrupted times series (CITS) designs. We examine the extent to which effect…

Whittaker, Jessica V.; Kinzie, Mable B.; Vitiello, Virginia; DeCoster, Jamie; Mulcahy, Christina; Barton, Emily A. – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
This randomized controlled trial examined effects of the MyTeachingPartner-Math/Science intervention on the quality and quantity of teachers' mathematics and science instruction, and children's mathematics and science outcomes in 140 pre-kindergarten classrooms. Teachers participated in the intervention for two years with consecutive cohorts of…

Fogarty, Melissa; Coyne, Michael D.; Simmons, Leslie E.; Simmons, Deborah C.; Henri, Maria; Kwok, Oi-Man; Ware, Sharon M.; Dalton, Kevin; Williams, Kimberly A.; Wang, Huan – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
In this experimental study, we examined the effects of a technology-mediated intervention to improve students' understanding of academic vocabulary and its impact on measures of vocabulary and comprehension. The Vocabulators program was implemented in two states involving 24 teachers and 200 third-grade students identified as in need of…

Emma Ashworth; Neil Humphrey; Alexandra Hennessey – Journal of Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2020
This study aimed to examine the impact of a universal, school-based intervention, the Good Behavior Game (GBG), on children's behavior, and to explore any subgroup moderator effects among children at varying levels of cumulative risk (CR) exposure. A 2-year cluster-randomized controlled trial was conducted comprising 77 primary schools in England.…
