Book excerpt: When the National Assessment of Educational Progress reported in 1998 that 70 percent of fourth grade children in the United States were reading just at (31%) or below the basic grade level (39%), this astounding fact resulted in national attention and political intervention. At the same time, the National Research Council published their 25 years of researched findings in their book, Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children (Snow, Burns, & Griffin, 1998). The national reactions to these reports were strong and included new initiatives for overcoming this emerging national problem. One such initiative was the implementation of the national Reading Excellence Act (REA). The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the required REA staff and professional development activities and to determine whether these activities impacted classroom instruction. The study was limited to REA schools in East Tennessee during the first year of implementation. Staff and professional development activities were centered on the essential elements of reading and the educational term of balanced reading was embraced. The essential elements of balanced literacy, as delineated by the National Reading Panel include phonemic awareness, phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension instruction. Data were collected using a teacher survey measuring teacher perception prior to and during REA implementation. Observational data was collected using identical paired observations, gathered on two occasions by the REA state consultant during official visits. A series of paired t-tests were used to determine whether there were significant pre-to-post changes in teacher perception of their teaching practice and pre-to-post changes in classroom observations. The overall alpha level or significance level was set at .05 for each significance test. From this study, teacher perception of classroom practice was significantly improved; however, classroom observations did not correl.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this study is to assess and evaluate the grant selection process for reading excellence program in Ohio. School districts in Ohio were given the opportunity to apply for funding to support district based reading programs through a request for proposal procedures. An effort was made to reliably and equitably score the proposed applications. Methodology: The data set include 106 applications from over 3000 buildings in 612 school districts. Applications have been assigned randomly to 114 readers to evaluate the quality of applications and at least 4 raters were assigned per application. The survey that was used to evaluate Grant Applications for Reading Excellence Act contains three subscales and 26 questions. The first six items related to the district's reading tutor program as discussed in the application. The next eight questions outline school-based tutor service. Finally, the last eleven questions relate only to the contracted tutorial services. An overall evaluation of grant application quality is found in the last question, Question (#26). Results: In this analysis, the results showed that just 21% of the applications have acceptable quality. 11 out of 106 applications show very high infit statistics (3 greater than infit greater than -3) and 5 out of 106 applications showed very high outfit statistics (0.06 greater than outfit greater than -3). These statistics indicated that most applications were consistent with the estimated quality measures, or their scores were highly predictable of the 11 applications with high infit/outfit, only 3 showed cause for concern. For raters, results showed that 23 out of 114 raters have been found with high infit and outfit statistics. Sixteen of the raters had high infit/outfit statistics, but only 3 raters were problematic. None of the raters with low infit/outfit statistics were problematic. Conclusions: The results indicated that these raters' ordering of application was generally consistent with the estimatens. Finally, only 1 out of 26 items showed high infit and outfit statistics. This result indicated that this item may contribute minor noise to the overall calibration of the application. In general, the item functions are very well. Recommendations: This study demonstrated the application of a sophisticated assessment procedure in addressing a significant educational problem, i.e., a fair and consistent way to assess applications into a Reading Excellence program. This procedure has wide applicability, but is currently not well known. (Contains 4 tables.).
