State PROJECT TITLE: Dissertation on Representation and Outcomes of Students with Disabilities Across School Types PURPOSE: My dissertation topic examines two areas: (1) how does the title identification rate of students with disabilities (SWD) vary by charter schools/school districts in Utah; and (2), how do charters/districts with high/mid/low identification rates perform on the federally required Annual Performance Report (APR) indicators? I am approaching the study from an equity lens, in that students with disabilities should have access and be included in all educational settings. My hypothesis is that charter schools that have high identification rates of SWD will have better APR outcomes than charters with low identification rates because they have encouraged enrollment of SWD and developed their programs around the needs of those students. I also want to examine the performance of non-charters with low and high identification rates as a way of “anchoring” the charter data. 1. PreK-12 Enrollment 2. Prek-12 SWD count 3. Indicator 1 4.

Xxxxxx is on my dissertation committee and mentioned that she has some of this data available already. I am asking for permission for Xx. Xxxxxx to provide the LEA-level data she has to me and to help me with the analyses on this data. Any data she does not have, I will request that USBE provide it. Any data I use would be subject to USU’s IRB process and all applicable data security protocols will be followed. I want to emphasize that I don’t want student-level data. My unit of analysis will be the LEA. No individual LEA will be identified by name in my report. Most of the studystatistics presented will be an aggregate of the LEA-level scores (e.g., the average graduation rate of SWD of charter schools with high identification rates compared to that of charter schools with low identification rates). L I know this is a lot to ask, and I don’t want to cause any extra work on USBE’s part that will not be beneficial to USBE. The Effectiveness benefit to USBE is that I would share all of Formative Assessments Developed by PLCs my work with USBE. This study will show USBE the extent to which identification rate and type of LEA impacts the outcomes of SWD. An open invitation would be extended to USBE staff to my dissertation defense and I’d be more than happy to provide USBE with a copy of the dissertation and data analysis reports upon completion as a Basis for Informing Instructional Decisions and Collaborative Lesson Planning Strategies to Enhance Student Achievement in Middle Schoolwell.

State the title of the study. L Provide a description of the study, including the reason the data is needed. FT IXL Learning is an educational technology company that offers supplemental e-learning tools (e.g., IXL) for PreK-12 students and teachers. IXL is an adaptive personalized learning platform offered in English language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, social studies, and Spanish. IXL is used by more than 1 million teachers and 15 million students worldwide. IXL Learning’s programs are built on four research-based components described by Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxxxx, 2021: (1) a comprehensive curriculum of over 17,000 skills and associated questions and tasks, developed by a team of curriculum specialists and aligned with Common Core and other state standards; (2) IXL’s Real-Time Diagnostic: an adaptive interim assessment designed to provide students, teachers, and administrators with current grade-level proficiency levels on key math and ELA strands; (3) personalized guidance in the form of individualized next-step recommendations from the diagnostic and skill practice; and (4) analytics in the form of reports for students, teachers, and administrators detailing student learning activity and progress for schools, classes, groups of students, and individuals to inform and differentiate instruction. DRA A core component of IXL is the IXL Real-Time Diagnostic, an interim assessment that delivers up-to-date insights on students’ knowledge levels in ELA and math. Analyzing student response patterns via item response theory (Lord, 1980), the diagnostic creates personalized learning plans, helping every learner achieve more. Many studies have examined the psychometric properties of the IXL Real-Time Diagnostic and have garnered desirable reliability and validity evidence, including coherent internal structure (IXL Learning, 2020a), multi-group measurement invariance (An et al., 2022), high reliability (IXL Learning, 2020a; Xxxxxx, 2023; Xxxxxxxxx, 2021), and strong predictive validity coefficients using multiple well-established assessments as criterion measures (An, 2021, 2022a, 2022b, 2022c; Xxxxxx, 2022, 2023; IXL Learning, 2020b; Schonberg, 2021, 2022, 2023a, 2023b, 2023c).[1] The Effectiveness purpose of Formative Assessments Developed the proposed research is twofold. First, we aim to examine the efficacy of IXL by PLCs studying the impact of IXL usage on students’ state math assessment outcomes (i.e., Acadience, RISE, Utah Aspire Plus, and/or ACT). In a previous research partnership, the Utah Education Policy Center (UEPC) studied associations between IXL Math usage and student RISE performance in ten schools and found that students who used IXL for at least 20 minutes per week performed better on the RISE math assessment than students who did not use IXL (Xxxxxxxxx et al., 2022). While this work is much appreciated and the UEPC plans to conduct additional research as part of the STEM Action Center’s math personalized learning grant, the final report of this work is expected no sooner than summer 2025. Now, we seek to extend their findings by incorporating elementary, middle, and high school state assessment data from districts across the state to provide additional evidence of IXL’s efficacy and make results available to district administrators and educators sooner. Second, we aim to examine the predictive validity of IXL’s assessments (e.g., the Real-Time Diagnostic) in math using Utah’s state assessments (Acadience, RISE, Utah Aspire Plus, and/or ACT) as criterion measures. Finding a strong correlation between performance on IXL’s assessments and Utah’s state assessments would provide further evidence that IXL’s assessments are a valid measure of student grade-level proficiency and provide educators with essential knowledge about students’ knowledge levels and learning gaps well before end-of-year or end-of course assessments. [1] Research reports are available at xxxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/membership/teachers/research 4 months from receipt of requested data Enter the estimated end date of the study. In the efficacy study, we aim to answer the following research questions (for each state assessment separately, conditional on sample size): RQ3: (conditional on sample size) To what extent do these associations vary for students with different characteristics? (e.g., race/ethnicity groups, ELL students) In the validity study, we aim to answer the following research questions (for each state assessment separately, conditional on sample size): RQ6: (conditional on sample size) What is the correspondence between students’ score ranges on IXL’s assessments and their likelihood of achieving proficiency on the state assessments? DRAFT List your research questions. We would like to request the following student-level data from USBE (specific variables listed in “Data” section below): List specific variables. T Data provided by USBE will be linked with a dataset obtained from IXL’s internal database that details each student’s IXL usage and diagnostic scores during the study period. This linkage is critical to achieving the aims of the proposed research. After the dataset from USBE has been linked with the dataset from IXL’s internal database (using student name as the linking variable common to both datasets), all PII (such as names and IDs) will be removed from the resultant dataset. This combined dataset will distinguish records via computer-generated identifiers that are present only in this dataset. Provide detailed information on the Data being linked, the other sources of Data, and any additional constraints to protect the linked Data. The efficacy study (RQs 1-3) will use a quasi-experimental or correlational design to examine student performance during the 2023-24 school year. To evaluate the effect of IXL, we will examine the relationship between various IXL usage indicators (e.g., time spent on IXL, number of questions answered) and math achievement, as measured by the Spring 2024 [MOU1] Utah state assessments. We will use multilevel regression models to account for the clustering of students within schools and schools within districts, and each assessment (e.g., Acadience, RISE, ACT) will be modeled separately. Following WWC (2022) guidelines, in these models we will control for baseline performance by including Spring 2023 or Fall 2023 assessment performance as a Basis covariate, and we will include demographic covariates as well. Contingent on sufficient sample size, we will also examine the extent to which the effect of IXL differs among subgroups of the student population (e.g., race/ethnicity groups, XXXx). The validity study (RQs 4-6) will use correlation, chi-square tests of association, and logistic regression, modeling demographics where feasible and applicable. Specifically, using IXL assessment data from one or more time points throughout the school year and end-of-year state assessment scores, the study will assess the predictive validity of the Diagnostic via correlations between students’ IXL assessment scores and students’ state assessment scores, with correlations above .70 considered strong. Pending sufficient sample size, separate analyses will be conducted for Informing Instructional Decisions each of Utah’s state assessments. We will also examine the classification alignment between the IXL assessments and Collaborative Lesson Planning Strategies the Utah state assessments with respect to Enhance Student Achievement students’ grade-level proficiency in Middle Schoolmath. A chi-square test of association will be conducted to assess this alignment overall. In addition, we will compute a percentage agreement of classifications from the two assessments being compared. That is, are the majority of students classified as at/above DRAF Describe analysis. grade level by the IXL assessment also classified as at/above grade level by the state assessment? Is there a similarly high alignment in classification for below-grade-level students as well? Finally, sample size allowing, we will use logistic regression to estimate the probability of demonstrating proficiency on Utah’s state assessments across score ranges on IXL’s assessments for each grade. This information would provide Utah schools and districts using IXL’s Diagnostic critical information about students’ current proficiency levels and target growth throughout the semester or the school year in order to have a higher likelihood of demonstrating proficiency on the end-of-year state assessment. T F Researchers must provide their output to the USBE. Findings from the proposed research study will be published on the IXL research page, shared with USBE, and shared with Utah schools and districts upon request. This report will provide specific recommendations to Utah educators about how to implement IXL most effectively to support student learning as well as achievement on Utah’s state assessments. Findings will be reported in aggregate, with appropriate data suppression techniques used in instances where small sample size could make it possible to identify an individual.

L The Effectiveness of Formative Assessments Developed by PLCs as a Basis for Informing Instructional Decisions and Collaborative Lesson Planning Strategies to Enhance Student Achievement in Middle School Mathematics. State the title of the study. A ARD APPROV This BYU CITES district partnership study is intended to discover top performing middle level teacher teams in terms of student math growth, among all subgroups, as measured on the Utah RISE assessment. Schools will be limited to those within the five BYU CITES partnership districts. Once identified, teacher teams that produce high math proficiency gains will be invited to participate in a three-year study conducted by Wasatch School District and BYU. This three-year study will follow the 2023/24 6th grade students who are enrolled in the teacher teams identified as high performing. This study will follow the 6th grade cohort through their 8th grade year, for a total of three years. The study will also add each subsequent 6th grade cohort during the three-year project for a total of three student cohorts. Participating teacher teams will be tasked with creating cross-district common formative assessments (CFA). Results from these CFAs will be analyzed using Item Response Theory (IRT) as well as regression analysis where CFAs are used as predictors of RISE performance. The goal is to produce assessments that are aligned with state core standards and help drive instructional practices. Provide a description of the study, including the reason the data is needed. The timeframe for completion is planned for 08/01/2026. Enter the estimated end date of the study. AWAITING BO List your research questions. List specific variables.
