Validation of the Pennsylvania Kindergarten Entry Inventory
Research Findings: Kindergarten is the gateway to education and a point of great variability in children’s knowledge and skills. As a result, there is keen interest in kindergarten entry assessments (KEAs) to understand and address gaps in early skills. This study rigorously investigated the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Kindergarten Entry Inventory (PA KEI). Multilevel factor analyses provided evidence for three factors–Emerging Academic Compet…
Classroom Engagement Scale
Research Findings: This study provides psychometric validation of the Classroom Engagement Scale (CES), a 14-item, teacher-report, formative assessment of behavioral engagement. It is currently used for all kindergarten children in a large, urban school district where it is embedded in the report card. Multi-level factor analysis revealed two distinct dimensions of the measure – academic engagement and social engagement – that comport with the ed…

Constructing Aligned Assessments Using Automated Test Construction
We describe an innovative automated test construction algorithm for building aligned achievement tests. By incorporating the algorithm into the test construction process, along with other test construction procedures for building reliable and unbiased assessments, the result is much more valid tests than result from current test construction practices. The test construction process is efficient and versatile in its application. The target domain …
From Policy to Practice
Key legislative objectives of charter schools are to provide more school and classroom options, increase teacher influence over decision making, and increase school autonomy from state and district policy. Using national data from the 2003–4 School and Staffing Survey, we found that charter schools attained these legislative objectives when compared with regular schools, although increases in teacher influence and school autonomy were modest. Alt…
