Connecting Research to Practice: Findings from Recent Rigorous Benchmark Assessment Studies (Webinar)
The REL Midwest hosted a webinar featuring key findings from recent studies sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences (IES). Presenters discussed the implications of these studies with an audience of school and district leaders who are responsible for the planning, implementation, or support of benchmark assessments and the training of teachers in their use.
Featured were A Multistate District-Level Cluster Randomized Trial of the Impact of Data-Driven Reform on Reading and Mathematics Achievement, presented by Geoffrey Borman, Ph.D., professor of education and sociology, University of Wisconsin-Madison; Measuring How Benchmark Assessments Affect Student Achievement, a REL Northeast & Islands report, presented by Susan Henderson, Ph.D., senior research associate, WestEd; and, Do Interim Assessments Improve Student Performance: The Case of Indiana, presented by Shazia Miller, Ph.D., principal researcher, American Institutes for Research.
