What research questions will we ask about MSRP impact?
1. Does MCLA effect core subject teachers’ knowledge and use of research-based literacy strategies?
2. What are the separate and combined effects of MCLA and Read 180 on students’ reading achievement levels, especially students identified as struggling readers?
3. What are the separate and combined effects of MCLA and Read 180 on students’ achievement in core subjects, especially students identified as struggling readers?

What outcome measures will we use?
1. Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS)• Vocabulary, Fluency, Comprehension
2. TCAP• Reading, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics
3. Gateway and End of Course Assessments• ELA, Mathematics, and Science
![Page 4: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
What research questions will we ask about MSRP implementation?
1. To what degree do the implemented MCLA & R180 treatments match the intended program standards and features?
2. What contextual district and school level factors may be influencing the implementation of MCLA & R180?
3. How do the professional development events, materials, or structures present in the control schools compare to what is present in the treatment schools?

Research Design for MCLA
• 4 matched pairs of schools (N=8) randomly assigned to treatment (MCLA) or control (no MCLA) condition
• Content area teachers in cohort 1 to participate in MCLA for Years 1 and 2
• Control group teachers (cohort 2) to participate in MCLA in Years 3 and 4
![Page 6: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MCLA: Random Assignment of Schools
![Page 7: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
MCLA: Exploring Efficacy
Attempts to address questions about whether or not MCLA can work
• Depends upon rapid turnaround of data collected • Relies upon formative feedback to guide program
revisions• Requires close collaboration among project stakeholders
– To develop measures– To share information and data– To communicate regularly about changes and challenges– To troubleshoot and cooperatively address challenges
![Page 8: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Research Design for Read 180TM
• Random assignment of “eligible” students enrolled at 8 SR schools, where eligibility means:– No prior participation in READ 180TM
– Two or more grade levels behind in reading– Scores in bottom quartile on state assessment (TCAP)
• READ 180TM is the treatment• Counterfactual (business as usual*) is the
control
![Page 9: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Read 180: Random Assignment of Students
![Page 10: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Read 180: Exploring Effectiveness
Attempts to address questions about whether or not Read 180 will work…
• Provides evidence about what happens when R180 is implemented “off the shelf,” (without formative eval support)
• Requires MCS to set aside local need for feedback to address questions of importance to field
• Establishes a one-way firewall between MCS and RBS
![Page 11: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Please review the safety card in the seat pocket…
1. Balance local knowledge of students’ needs within the identified “eligible pool” without creating selection bias
2. Address high rates of student mobility
3. Accurately describe the counterfactual
4. Obtain parental consent (and students’ assent) to administer the ITBS
5. Design procedures to prevent crossover
6. Deal with (inevitable) startup delays
![Page 12: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Air Traffic Control: Did Random Assignment Work?
![Page 13: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Are the student groups comparable?
• Students eligible for READ180 ™: N = 2,277Total students in 8 SR schools: N = 6,170Students eligible as % of total: 36.9%
• No differences in race, gender, ethnicity, or poverty level between conditions
• Higher % of ELLs in control group (87 of 1,337 students, or 6.5%) than in R180™ (35 of 940 students, or 3.7%)
• Higher % of Sp Ed 8th graders in R180™ group (28.2%) vs control (20.9%)
![Page 14: The Research Design Research for Better Schools Philadelphia, PA Jill Feldman, Ph.D., Director of Evaluation](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062718/56649e6f5503460f94b6ceba/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What, how, and from whom should data be collected?
• Use multiple measures and methods– Interview developers, instructors, coaches, & principals
– Surveys of teacher knowledge and attitudes
– Focus group discussions with teachers
– Evaluator observations of PD sessions
– Evaluator observations of classroom implementation
• Use data to challenge/confirm findings from single sources• Share findings with key stakeholders to determine whether:
– data collected are appropriate to support decision making
– evaluation findings reflect actual experiences
– revisions to the logic model, IC map, and/or instruments are needed

Thinking about MCLA classes THIS SEMESTER (Fall ’07):
Strongly Agree Agree Disagree
Strongly Disagree
7. It was hard to find the time to attend MCLA classes every week. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
8. I believe using the strategies I learned in MCLA class will improve students’ understanding of important content.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
9. The MCLA materials were linked to the district’s content standards.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
10. My (main) MCLA class instructor modeled how to implement each new strategy, at least once, from beginning to end.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
11. I used class handouts to plan classroom instruction. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
12. There is not enough time to add the use of literacy strategies to the existing curriculum.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
13. I was already familiar with much of the material covered in MCLA classes.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
14. I am satisfied with my MCLA class experience overall. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
15. I would be willing to contribute a videotape of my CAP implementation as a tool for use to train teachers.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
16. I appreciate the chance to collaborate with colleagues in MCLA. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
17. I found the Joint Productive Activities (JPA) to be useful. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
18. My students would benefit from my use of JPAs during instructional time.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
19. I am unsure how useful the MCLA literacy strategies will be for my students.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
20. It has been difficult to equip my classroom with leveled reading materials given all my other responsibilities.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
21. I would recommend MCLA classes to fellow teachers. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
22. MCLA supports achievement of other important goals in my school’s improvement plan.
¡ ¡ ¡ ¡
23. I look forward to resuming MCLA classes in the spring. ¡ ¡ ¡ ¡

“Job Definition” - Principal Interviews 3. In your view, which staff are responsible for literacy instruction? [Probe: To what extent do you expect content area teachers to address the literacy needs of struggling readers?] 4. What are your school’s main student achievement improvement goals? 9. To the extent that you are familiar with MCLA, how connected/disconnected is the Academy from your school’s current improvement plans? [Probe: Please describe specific links (or disconnects) between MCLA and current improvement plans.] 10. When MCLA is implemented at your school, do you think it will require teachers to do different things in addition to what is already expected of them? [Probe: If yes, please describe whether the additional demands support or conflict with achievement of other/more important priorities.] 11. Do you expect MCLA will have an effect on student learning? 14. What expectations, if any, do you have for teachers’ participation in MCLA next year? [Probe: What percent of eligible teachers do you expect to enroll? Will specific grade level, content area, or teams of teachers be encouraged to participate or will the decision to enroll be left to the discretion of individual teachers?] 15. Thinking about next year, on a scale of 1 to 5 where “1” is not at all realistic, and “5” is very realistic, how realistic is it to expect you to:
a. allow teachers to observe each others’ classes/share ideas [Probe: If response is a 3 or higher, ask “how often?”]
b. discuss MCLA at faculty meetings? c. attend the annual MCLA kick-off event in August? d. attend MCLA teacher evening course sessions? [Probe: How many?] e. attend celebratory events (i.e., the Laureate ceremony) f. discuss MCLA with enrolled teachers? g. recruit new teachers to enroll in MCLA? h. observe teachers’ use of literacy strategies? [Probe: How often?] i. provide feedback to teachers about their use of MCLA strategies? j. participate in all Fellowship activities? [Probe: What level of participation
do you think is realistic?]
