How to Measure Performance and Use Tests

By: Lynn Lyons Morris,Carol T. Fitz-Gibbon,Elaine Lindheim

The "CSE Program Evaluation Kit" is a series of nine books intended to assist people conducting program evaluations. This volume, the seventh in the kit, provides an overview of a variety of approaches to measuring performance outcomes. It presents considerations in deciding what to measure and in selecting or developing instruments best suited to an evaluation's goals. Methods for ensuring validity and reliability are also discussed. Chapter 1, "Measuring Performance for Program Evaluation: Preliminary Considerations," presents an overview of various strategies to systematically measure the attainment of performance objectives. Chapter 2, "Locating Existing Measures," describes the types of performance tests that might already be available, from commercially published instruments, curriculum embedded tests, and state- or local-mandated measures. Chapter 3, "Determining How Well a Test Fits the Program," provides assistance in determining the appropriateness of an existing instrument. Chapter 4, "Constructing a Test for Program Evaluation," describes the basic steps in developing a performance measure. Chapters 5, "Validity and Reliability of Performance Instruments," and 6, "Using Performance Test Data," deal with the technical quality and use of tests. One appendix contains a table for program-test comparison, and the other presents a reminder of some common item construction errors. (Contains 20 tables, 16 figures, and 19 references.) (SLD)

The TurnAround ToolKit

Managing Rapid, Sustainable School Improvement

By: Lynn Winters,Joan Herman

Lynn Winters's and Joan Herman's The Turnaround Toolkit is written for school leaders who are focused on transforming instruction, and who may be working under significant time constraints to reverse declining student achievement or public perceptions of school failure. Based on the evidence that simply implementing “continuous improvement” is not enough to close the achievement gap, The Turnaround Toolkit provides a nine-step formative evaluation program designed to achieve an immediate and consistent focus on improving instruction in order to bolster student achievement. In a straightforward and accessible fashion, Herman and Winters explain three overarching “Turnaround Tasks” that frame these steps and the necessary-and sometimes drastic-actions that must be taken by school leaders as they use data to strategically choose, implement, monitor, and revise school interventions. A dedicated, online “toolkit” offers numerous worksheets and templates that support each stage of the process and help school leaders scaffold the work of educators to put an aggressive turnaround plan into action while a leadership guide at the end of the book provides guidance to turnaround teams and facilitators.

How to Calculate Statistics

By: Carol Taylor Fitz-Gibbon,Lynn Lyons Morris

Abstract: Statistical methods of evaluating data are used to summarize large amounts of information into usable and meaningful numbers, to provide guidelines for interpreting apparent differences of results, and to determine the degree of correlation among sets of data. Instruction on the collection, handling and interpretation of data cover the administration of a measure to one or more groups, unmatched or matched groups, and 2 measures made on the same group. Various methods of comparing scores include graphs, calculating the mean, standard deviation and variance, t-test, confidence limits, Mann-Whitney U test, Chi-square test, and the computer program SPSS. Selection of the appropriate technique ensures relevant results. The relationship between 2 measures on the same group can be defined in terms of the correlation coefficient, r, and expressed as Pearson's product moment, Spearman's rank order, rank biserial, point biserial or Phi coefficient. SPSS can be used for analysis of variance or covariance, partial correlation, multiple regression and discriminant or factor analysis.
