Development of a Process Methodology to Determine the Cost of Ownership of Instructional Resources in Relation to the Benefits of Improved Student Performance

Phase I Project

In this project, researchers iteratively developed and studied a prototype of a software-based intervention for teachers that aimed to increase student success by helping teachers to use quantitative data in instructional decisions. Researchers conducted workshops to show teachers how to target students for intervention, standardize data-keeping so records of services could be combined and used for comparisons, monitor progress toward goals, and communicate using data on successful practices.
