In this section:
Overview
Literacy Collaborative research and evaluation studies are conducted at the school- and district-level and national level::
Literacy Collaborative schools conduct their own research and program evaluation by analyzing student test scores and work samples. They also gather their own data from student assessments, staff or parent surveys, classroom observations, and interviews. We provide literacy coaches with training in program evaluation and data analysis, and continually develop program evaluation tools such as observation rubrics and surveys.
Literacy Collaborative staff and researchers conduct studies using data from multiple Literacy Collaborative schools to examine patterns of improvement.
We commission or participate in outside studies conducted by researchers at other universities or educational consulting companies.
Program Evaluation Model
Literacy Collaborative’s program evaluation model consists of a multi-level design that aims to provide appropriate and useful data to program implementers and evaluators at both the national and the school/district level.
