Description: This project will explore the type of extended instructional time referred to as double-dosing. The first part of the study examines what the literature says about double-dosing. The second part of the study provides descriptive results about the prevalence and forms of double-dosing in North Carolina.
Research Questions: The project is designed to answer four research questions:
Study Design: The study design is descriptive. The study will use North Carolina's administrative data to identify double-dosing by coding the specific class schedules and rosters for each student and teacher. The roster dataset contains all information needed to identify specific classes, the subject taught, and the length of the class. Once the classes, subjects, and lengths are determined, a course schedule for each student can be constructed and double-dosing identified. These data will be used to create a typology or list of ways double-dosing occurs and provide descriptive information about how prevalent each type is and which types of students most commonly are assigned double-dosing.
Projected Release Date: Spring 2016
