Refinement and Further Development of the Washington Assessment of the Risks and Needs of Students
The purpose of this measurement project is to further refine and validate a low-cost, efficient, and proactive assessment to address student truancy and dropout. The Washington Assessment of the Risks and Needs of Students(WARNS) is used in middle and high schools to identify factors that contribute to truancy and are malleable in response to intervention. The WARNS provide a framework for school personnel to generate conversations and personalized action plans with youth for improving atten...

Increased Accuracy in the Detection of Differential Item Functioning through Multilevel Analysis
The purpose of the research project was to create multilevel differential item functioning (DIF) methods and software to increase the accuracy of the detection of DIF. Detection of DIF is one step in the process of gathering score validity evidence. DIF occurs when examinees from different subgroups who have equal ability on the measured construct have different probabilities of responding correctly to an item. DIF detection is a common component of instrument development in testing programs...
