“Decolonisation as a Priority and not an Afterthought”
The role of the state in constructing heritage has been widely critiqued for a number of decades. However, ongoing separations exist between academic discourse and heritage practice. What is the current thinking of those shaping statutory heritage in the face of cities in change? This paper explores these issues in the context of Aotearoa New Zealand, through analysis of qualitative interviews with heritage policy leaders across its major cities.…
Cultural dissonance
Heritage-making’s intrinsic dissonance has been thoroughly established in the field of critical heritage studies, and yet it is a reality that continues to be obscured in heritage practice in settler colonial cities. Authorised heritage discourse continues to project existing state-led systems of heritage-making as a self-evident ‘public good’ for current and future generations. In settler colonial cities, this increasingly includes attempts to i…
Commentary on the Null Results Special Issue
This commentary summarizes the three special issue articles by Robin Jacob et al., Heather Hill and Anna Erickson, and Jimmy Kim and discusses a number of broader questions and considerations for the program evaluation field that arise from those articles
Can Evidence-Based Policy Ameliorate the Nation's Social Problems
This article updates the pipeline paradigm for evidence building with a cyclical paradigm that encompasses evidence building, implementation, and adaptation. A cyclical paradigm for evidence-based policy and practice assumes that an intervention will be adapted over time, across settings, and across populations. These innovations and adaptations are encouraged and tested, with periodic review of the need for impact assessment. The cyclical paradi…
Variation in impacts of Tulsa pre-K on cognitive development in kindergarten
Public prekindergarten (pre-K) programs have been a recent focus of policy and research attention, in part because of their empirically documented, positive short-term impacts on child cognitive development and school readiness. However, no studies have explored factors that might explain variation across schools in public pre-K impacts. The current study examines the Tulsa Public School pre-K program's impacts on children's letter-word identific…
Do the short-term effects of a high-quality preschool program persist
Against the Tide
The authors examine the effects of household structure on young adults and how these effects might have contributed to the negative trends in educational and employment outcomes observed for young minorities over time
Empirical Benchmarks for Interpreting Effect Sizes in Research
There is no universal guideline or rule of thumb for judging the practical importance or substantive significance of a standardized effect size estimate for an intervention. Instead, one must develop empirical benchmarks of comparison that reflect the nature of the intervention being evaluated, its target population, and the outcome measure or measures being used. This approach is applied to the assessment of effect size measures for educational …
Performance Trajectories and Performance Gaps as Achievement Effect-Size Benchmarks for Educational Interventions
Two complementary approaches to developing empirical benchmarks for achievement effect sizes in educational interventions are explored. The first approach characterizes the natural developmental progress in achievement made by students from one year to the next as effect sizes. Data for seven nationally standardized achievement tests show large annual gains in the early elementary grades followed by gradually declining gains in later grades. A gi…

Casework Job Design and Client Outcomes in Welfare-to-Work Offices
Differences in performance across different locations of a human service program may be driven by client, managerial, organizational, policy, or environmental characteristics. While many of these factors are outside the control of local managers, other factors may be open to influence by local discretion and may have independent effects on performance. One issue facing local managers is how to divide job tasks among frontline staff, but little ev…

Can Propensity-Score Methods Match the Findings from a Random Assignment Evaluation of Mandatory Welfare-to-Work Programs
This paper assesses nonexperimental estimators using results from a six-state random assignment study of mandatory welfare-to-work programs. The assessment addresses two questions: which nonexperimental methods provide the most accurate estimates; and do the best methods work well enough to replace random assignment? Three tentative conclusions emerge. Nonexperimental bias was larger in the medium run than in the short run. In-state comparison gr…
Can they put it all together? A project for reinforcing what policy students learn in a first‐semester quantitative methods course
Linking program implementation and effectiveness
This paper addresses the question: How does implementation influence the effectiveness of mandatory welfare‐to‐work programs? Data from three large‐scale, multi‐site random assignment experiments were pooled; quantitative measures of program implementation were constructed; and multilevel statistical modeling was used to examine the relationship between program implementation and effects on short‐term client earnings. Individual‐level data were a…
