1.01 - Data Privacy Concerns and its Impact on Research: The Practitioner View
Room: Colorado B
Chair: ROBERT REICHARDT, Augenblick, Palaich and Associates
This discussion panel brings together staff from a range of school districts and a state
agency to discuss the data privacy concerns they are facing, how those concerns are
manifested in policy and procedures and how those concerns are impacting their
ability to conduct research both internally and externally. The perspectives being
represented are diverse. They include a medium-sized school district (Harrison,
enrollment about 11,500), a large school district (Jefferson County School District Colorado, enrollment about 86,500), the state department of education, and a
researcher working with most of those organizations.
Discussants: DAN JORGENSEN, Harrison School District #2, HEATHER

1.02 - The Teacher Incentive Fund: A Colorado Perspective on its Promise and Impact
Room: Colorado C
Chair: MARK L. FERMANICH, APA Consulting
The U.S. Department of Education’s Teacher Incentive Fund (TIF) grant program was
established in 2006 with the goals of 1) incentivizing the creation of performancebased educator compensation systems for rewarding effective educators, and 2)
increasing the number of high-performing educators in high-need schools and hard to
staff subjects (U.S. Department of Education, 2015). Since its inception the TIF
program has awarded nearly $1 billion in grants to 131 grantees in four cohorts.
Later rounds of TIF grants have stressed systemic change for the development of
human capital management systems (HCMS) encompassing standards-based
evaluation systems; performance-based compensation; and data driven professional
development, recruitment, and retention strategies.
Colorado, a leader in experimenting with alternative educator compensation systems,
is home to six grantees, several of whom have been awarded multiple grants. The
purpose of this discussion panel session is to explore the TIF experience and impact of
14
three Colorado-based grantees: – Denver Public Schools, Harrison School District 2
and Jefferson County Public Schools. The session will focus on the following topics:
•
What goals did the districts hope to achieve by participating in TIF?
•
What were their experiences with implementing TIF? How did they use TIF to
leverage change? What challenges did they face?
•
How did state and local policies impact TIF implementation?
•
How well have the districts achieved their goals for TIF?
•
What is the future of their TIF initiatives? Are they sustainable?

3.12 - Understanding the Evolving Role of For-Profit Colleges and Universities
Room: Pomeroy
Chair: SOUNG BAE, Stanford University
At their recent peak, for-profit colleges and universities enrolled approximately 13%
of all postsecondary students in the U.S. These enrollments differ in important ways
from non-profit and public enrollments. For-profit students are more likely to be low
income, minority, in career-focused fields, and seeking sub-baccalaureate awards. Forprofit institutions have been distinct from non-profit and public institutions in other
ways, too. They pushed less conventional educational strategies, such as online
education and mid-year enrollment, which they claimed allowed them to reach
students ignored by the traditional programs offered by non-profit and public
institutions. Many heralded for-profit colleges for changing the conversation and
challenging higher educational norms, which was rewarded with rapidly enrollment
growth and rising profits.
However, the landscape has changed for for-profit higher education over the last four
years. For-profit institutions have gone from double-digit increases in enrollment, to
now four years of decline; from emphasis on their capacity for disruptive innovation to
lawsuits by attorneys general; and from record-breaking profits to the collapse of one
of the biggest for-profit providers (Corinthian) and the closure of many smaller
campuses around the country. Given this clear and abrupt turn-around, this session
seeks to continue a conversation that addresses two central questions that promote
sharing knowledge about new and important developments in for-profit policy.

Protecting student privacy has become a hot-button issue. There are active debates in
Washington about re-writing the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA),
and in many states have recently passed or have pending legislation that would limit
data access. This can have profound implications for the data available for research
purposes. In the moderated discussion in this panel we will get a diverse set of
perspectives about how to balance the need for data access to generate information
useful to inform educational policy or practice decisions against the real, or sometimes
perceived, concerns by parents and the public that sensitive information about students
could be broadly released or used for inappropriate purposes.

4.01 - Supporting Students at School and Home: Can Place-Based Strategies Move the
Needle on Student Achievement?
Room: Colorado A
Chair: MEGAN GALLAGHER, Urban Institute
From local efforts like the Harlem Children’s Zone to federal efforts like Promise
Neighborhoods, place-based and place-conscious strategies are bringing new
partners to the table to improve student achievement. Although funding for these
efforts takes up a small proportion of overall education expenditures, they represent
an important commitment to address barriers to learning for many low-income
students. This discussion panel will highlight how these efforts work, how data are used
to communicate among partners, and whether and when they can be expected to
move the needle on student achievement. This panel will also discuss how these efforts
can be linked to existing city and county service systems. The policy reactor for this
panel will share insights on how place-based and place-conscious strategies play a
role in Denver's K-12 education landscape.

4.12 - Reconsidering Cost Accounting in Higher Education: A Discussion of New
Approaches for Answering Questions for Policy & Practice
Room: Pomeroy
Chair: SARA GOLDRICK-RAB, University of Wisconsin-Madison
What do colleges and universities need to spend to educate their students? Growing
concerns with college affordability, reductions in state support, and increasing use of
performance-based funding in higher education make this an especially important
question.
However, our ability to answer this question in a way that can guide policymaking
and practice is hampered by limitations inherent in existing data systems and cost
accounting methods. With few exceptions, higher education cost studies have relied
on expenditure data from institutions’ financial management systems or the federal
government’s Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Cost studies
that use accounting data are heavily influenced by these data’s purposes, conventions,
and limitations. Accounting data are fundamentally transactional, chronicling
institutional expenditures on core functions (e.g., instruction and research) and objects
(e.g., personnel and facilities), and are collected and organized according to
guideline established by public accountancy organizations for the purposes of
45
financial management and accountability. They were not intended to answer questions
about how institutional assets, especially personnel, might be organized to achieve
desired goals, the relative value of programs and practices, or at what level colleges
should be funded to ensure sufficient resources for high quality programming.

5.01 - Improvement Science and Traditional Research Paradigms: Bridging the Divide to
Advance Evidence-Based Policy, Programs, and Practices
Room: Colorado A
Chair: ELLEN B GOLDRING, Vanderbilt University
The Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002 established the Institute of Education
Sciences (IES) to support high quality research that could improve education. The
Institute of Education Sciences stated goal was “the transformation of education into
an evidence-based field in which decision makers routinely seek out the best available
research and data before adopting programs or practices that will affect significant
numbers of students” (Institute of Education Sciences), and to “conduct and support
scientifically valid research activities” (Education Sciences Reform Act of 2002). The
interest is in educational research that “aims to support causal inferences about the
efficacy of specific educational programs or policies” (Jacob, Ludwig, et al., 2005,
pg. 47). Since those early days, IES has expanded with new articulations and
emphases on relevance, as well as rigor, and new initiatives such as research
partnerships and translating research to practice through published practice guides
(Cohen-Vogel et al., 2015). The purpose of this panel discussion session is threefold,
1) to develop a deeper understanding of the convergent and divergent goals,
methodologies and current portfolios of improvement science and traditional
educational research, 2) to discuss the extent to which they are opposites on a
continuum or mutually supporting in the pursuit of evidence to develop scalable
practices and policies, and, 3) to ascertain the extent to which federal educational
policy funding and guidelines should incorporate improvement science in evidencedbased research policy. The discussion will center on how the two approaches to
research can or should inform one another to support the goals of evidence-based
policies and practices, and, what role each has in developing the demand-side for
educational research.

6.01 - The Role of Surveys in Education
Room: Silverton
Chair: PETER GOFF, University of Wisconsin
Across the country, educators are increasingly using surveys to gather information
about perceptions within schools. These might range from surveys about specific
individuals such as a teacher or school leader, or they may include various
stakeholder surveys targeting the school as a whole. According to the most recent
State of the States report, 33 states either require or allow student surveys to be
included in teacher evaluation, 21 states require or allow parent surveys in teacher
evaluations, and 8 states allow peer surveys in teacher evaluation. Further, 23 states
allow the use of surveys within principal evaluation and 10 of these states have
surveys as a requirement (NCTQ 2015).
The implementation of surveys, particularly in a high-stakes context, raises several key
questions. These range from the development and validation of surveys, to the proper
uses for survey data, to strategies for reporting results and professional development.
This panel will bring together experts in various fields of educator surveys to discuss
the following questions:
•
What are the benefits of developing a local survey versus using a previously
validated survey?
•
What are some strategies for engaging stakeholders in surveys?
•
Is it appropriate to use survey data for evaluation purposes? What factors
should be considered when deciding whether to include these measures?
•
What are some best practices for reporting results?
•
What are successful ways that schools are using survey data to inform
decisions and professional development for teachers and school leaders?

7.01 - Reducing Barriers to Rigorous Evaluation: New Tools for School Districts
Room: Silverton
Chair: THOMAS WEI, U.S. Department of Education
There is increasing interest for state and local agencies to conduct low-cost
opportunistic experiments to test promising interventions and policies. The increased
availability of administrative data provide a rich data source for such evaluations.
However, state and local agencies experience barriers to planning these rapid cycle
evaluations and analyzing the effects and costs of interventions. Through projects
funded by the U.S. Department of Education (ED), several tools designed to reduce
barriers to rigorous evaluation are being developed. These tools will be publicly
available and free.
Through the Office of Educational Technology (OET), a web-based interactive Rapid
Cycle Tech Evaluations (RCTE) toolkit is being developed to meet the needs of districts
seeking to evaluate the education technology products they use. The Institute of
Education Sciences (IES) has funded other tools to facilitate the conduct of
opportunistic experiments by state and local education agencies and to support cost
analyses of education programs and interventions. This panel will present brief
demonstrations of tools that are being developed for the RCTE toolkit and other tools
funded by IES, and also engage participants in a discussion of their usability and
application in education settings.
The panel will be chaired by Thomas Wei, a Senior Research Scientist at IES, who has
provided guidance on the development of the IES-funded tools. He will briefly
overview the steps IES, in partnership with other U.S Department of Education
program offices, is taking to remove barriers faced by districts in conducting rapid
cycle evaluations. In addition to supporting the development of RCT-YES, ED is
providing grant and contract support for low-cost, quick turnaround studies, brief
write-ups of findings to disseminate evidence to broad audiences, and the creation of
TA materials including guides to conducting opportunistic experiments in school
districts.

8.01 - A Cost-Effective, Constitutional Methodology for
Determining the Actual Cost of a Sound Basic Education
Room: Mattie Silks
Chair: MICHAEL A. REBELL, Teachers College, Columbia University , HENRY M.
LEVIN, Teachers College, Columbia University , ROBERT SHAND, Teachers College,
Columbia University
Over the past 25 years, there has been a proliferation of cost studies (sometimes
called “education adequacy studies”) that estimate the amount of funding needed to
provide all students an opportunity for an adequate education. More than 40 such
studies have been undertaken in dozens of states. The widespread use of these studies
stemmed from court orders in many of the fiscal equity and education adequacy cases
that have required states to determine the “actual cost” of providing an adequate
education. The papers to be presented at this session will discuss in detail a proposed
new cost-effective constitutional cost methodology and a rigorous approach to
analyzing cost effectiveness that complements that methodology. The constitutional
cost methodology will (a) systematically apply constitutional standards and other
relevant legal requirements to the cost-analysis enterprise; (b) continuously
incorporate into the analysis high-quality research in constitutionally relevant areas to
identify educational resources and practices that have proved effective both in terms
of positive student outcomes and cost effectiveness; (c) be overseen by a permanent
commission composed of policy makers, educators, and researchers, with appropriate
staff charged with issuing a report recommending necessary revisions to the state’s
cost analyses and expenditure levels every two years and (d) ultimately, where
necessary, be subject to judicial review.

8.13 - The Role of State Education Agencies in a Post-NCLB Era
Room: Nat Hill
Chair: PATRICK MURPHY, Public Policy Institute of California
This is a “flipped” session – where the discussants will all be practitioners and the
reactor will be an academic. The purpose is to examine the capacity of state
education agencies (SEAs) to operate in a world where they have more autonomy –
and more responsibility under the reauthorized ESEA.
The session would begin with a brief overview of how the federal-state relationship has
evolved over the past 15 years and the new expectations that have been placed upon
the SEAs. In short, these agencies have been asked to become performance managers
after decades of serving as compliance monitors. Making the transition has not been
easy – and is unlikely to get easier. State administrators must deal with limited
resources, employees whose skills don’t match the new demands, and a federal
education department whose inflexible regulatory requirements often get in the way.
Deputy education department chiefs from 3-5 states will form the panel, highlighting
obstacles they encounter, and providing examples of steps they have taken to
surmount them. The academic reactor will help place the observations in context, with
particular attention to the federal-state regulatory relationship.
The applied nature of the session should appeal to both researchers and practitioners
interested in the state’s role in supporting schools and districts. It also should surface
relevant research questions in this understudied area of education policy.

GeneralSessionII,Friday,March18,2016-01:15PMto02:45PM
Second General Session - Implementing ESSA:
Key Issues Facing State and Federal Policymakers
Room: Colorado Ballroom E & F
The recent reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, dubbed
the “Every Student Succeeds Act” (ESSA), returned significant autonomy to the states
on the design and implementation of their accountability systems. The uniform federal
accountability system under NCLB that was replaced by federally approved
alternatives under NCLB waivers will now give way to 50 different accountability
systems that only need to satisfy general parameters set by federal law.
ESSA gives states broad leeway to choose what measures to include in their
accountability systems and how to intervene in schools that fall short. It also raises
questions about how the federal government will use its more limited authority under
ESSA to enforce federal requirements for these systems. Regardless of the outcome of
the upcoming election, the next administration will face a number of important
decisions regarding federal involvement in ESSA implementation.
This panel will bring together researchers and policymakers to discuss what lies
ahead for ESSA implementation. The discussion will cover the policy decisions that
states and local districts will face as they design their new accountability systems, with
a focus on measurement (including teacher evaluation) and interventions in schools
judged to be failing. Panelists will also discuss how implementation will be affected by
state and federal politics. California and Colorado will serve as case studies in the
conversation, which will examine both the immediate transition from NCLB waivers to
ESSA and the longer-term implications of the new federal education law.

9.01 - Assessing the Assessments:
Measuring Quality for a New Generation of State Tests
Room: Mattie Silks
Chair: DARA ZEEHANDELAAR, Thomas B. Fordham Institute
Over the past five years, states have upgraded their K-12 academic standards to
equip students to better meet the requisites of college and career. Now that the
majority of states (at last count nearly 40) have adopted the Common Core State
Standards (CCSS) (or versions close to them), the obvious next question is, how can
we be sure that the assessments used to measure the CCSS are high quality,
accurately reflecting the demands of these college and career ready standards?
Assessment quality is critically important, not only for ensuring that cut scores more
accurately represent readiness for college and career, but also for sending consistent
messages to teachers about what they should be teaching.
Over the last year, the Thomas B. Fordham Institute led a study seeking to provide
states and policymakers with this much-needed information on test quality. We
conducted the first-of-its-kind evaluation of three “next-generation” assessments—ACT
Aspire, PARCC, and Smarter Balanced— and a well-regarded existing state assessment
(the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment system, or MCAS). We were granted
access to secure, operational test forms from each of the four vendors. Our review
included evaluation of English language arts/literacy and mathematics assessments at
the elementary and middle grades. (HumRRO conducted a parallel study evaluating
high school assessments.)
The research utilized a brand new methodology developed by the National Center for
the Improvement of Educational Assessment (NCIEA). Their study design was based
on the Council of Chief State School Officer’s (CCSSO) “Criteria for Procuring and
Evaluating High Quality Assessments,” which seeks to redefine test quality for a new
generation of state tests. The methodology brought together over 30 experts for inperson and online reviews of operational test forms and documentation. Each test item
was rated on multiple dimensions that describe what high-quality assessments should
look like in the Common Core era.
As the first implementers of the methodology, we learned much about the ins and outs
of evaluating large-scale assessments for quality—as well as the politics that surround
such evaluations. The purpose of this session is to briefly summarize the results of the
review and then share some of the lessons we learned along the way.

11.01 - MCAS, PARCC, or Door #3?
The Role of Research in the Massachusetts Assessment Decision
Room: Colorado A
Chair: MARTIN WEST, Harvard University
In November 2015, all eyes were on Massachusetts as the state’s Board of
Elementary and Secondary Education decided whether to keep its current
Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS) tests, adopt the Partnership
for Assessment of Readiness for College and Career (PARCC) tests, or take another
approach. This highly consequential decision for Massachusetts was informed by an
unprecedented amount of internal and external research. PARCC Inc., the nonprofit
organization that supports the consortium of states participating in the PARCC
assessment, commissioned an extensive series of research projects aimed at better
understanding the psychometric properties of the test, including reliability, validity,
quality, and comparability to other assessments. The Massachusetts Department of
Elementary and Secondary Education itself commissioned a study of statewide district
assessment practices and collaborated with stakeholders on a third-party study of two
districts’ experiences in administering the 2014 PARCC field test online. As the
decision loomed closer, two major additional third-party studies also contributed to the
policy discussion. The Fordham Institute and Human Resources Research Organization
teamed up to conduct an analysis of how well the MCAS and PARCC tests met the
Criteria for Procuring and Evaluating High Quality Assessments established by the
Council of Chief State School Officers. And the Massachusetts Executive Office of
Education hired Mathematica Policy Research to conduct a study of the predictive
validity of MCAS and PARCC for college GPA and remediation. In this panel
discussion, representatives from these four groups will discuss the findings from their
research and how they contributed to the decision process.

12.01 - Sustaining the Momentum: Linking Early Childhood Education and K-12 Systems
Room: Colorado A
Chair: ERICA GREENBERG, Urban Institute
In the last decade, state preschool programs have increased spending by $2 billion
and nearly doubled enrollments to serve one-third of all four-year-olds. Several cities
have launched their own programs, and the Obama Administration has invested in
preschool access and quality through its Race to the Top—Early Learning Challenge
Fund, Preschool Development and Expansion Grants, and other initiatives for children
birth to three-years-old. Yet, early childhood education often remains separated from
K-12 systems by governance structures, funding streams, data systems, and program
policies. In turn, lack of integration may challenge efforts to sustain the momentum
created by high-quality early childhood education programs—particularly for children
most at risk.
This discussion panel will blend recent research, policy, and practice to (1) assess the
current state of early childhood education and K-12 systems alignment at the federal,
state, and local levels; (2) identify ongoing barriers to systems alignment; and (3)
illuminate promising P-3 (preschool through third grade) and P-16 models while
considering their expansion nationwide. Although this work “is not for the
fainthearted” (Takanishi, 2011), it is central to increasing the efficiency and
effectiveness of public investments and improving children’s short- and long-term
academic outcomes.
