Key outcomes
PIRT trainers included education and psychology faculty with expertise and experience conducting high-quality evaluation research (such as large-scale randomized and cluster randomized studies), developing and validating measures (such as diagnostic, screening, and progress monitoring assessments for reading), and using advanced statistical methods (such as multi-level and hierarchical linear modeling, item response theory analyses, structural equation modeling), as well as significant knowledge and content expertise related to abnormal and normal developmental processes in reading, teacher training and professional development, and special needs populations. The PIRT program also collaborated with an institute at Florida State University that had a mandate to develop and evaluate instructional activities to increase the math and science capabilities of Florida's K–12 students.
