The idea for this series developed from a forum organized by the
American Psychological Association, the American Educational
Research Association, the National Science Foundation, and the
Center for Education at the National Research Council on multiple
methods in education research. At this forum, Dr. Pat Forgione,
(now former) superintendent of the Austin School District, hosted a
dialogue with two scholars who were each asked to analyze a problem
situation Forgione provided from his district. The audience
responded very enthusiastically to this exercise and in the
evaluations expressed the desire for more complementary analyses of
real-world problems that could serve as a component of research
training in education. It is our intention to have this volume and
the others in the series serve as case-based teaching material for
graduate classes in education policy, and to inform the work of
researchers, practitioners, and policy leaders. This particular
case study is designed to explore the extent to which a teacher
evaluation system is effective. It also addresses the challenge of
measuring student achievement gains when the students in question
are already at the high end of the scale, a different-yet
important-problem in an era when many concentrate on "low-hanging
fruit" or students "on the bubble" between failure and marginal
performance. By presenting a realworld case, various research
methods for studying issues raised by the case, and the interchange
among scholars engaged in this effort, this volume will allow
educational policymakers and practitioners to decide if a proposed
approach is compelling and relevant for their settings.
Concurrently, a comparison of various research methods addressing a
real school-based problem provides an important learning tool for
the research community, and for those who study and make policy.We
also believe that the case study and the research designs will be
useful for those with responsibility for framing and funding a
research agenda in education that utilizes strong research designs
applied to topics that matter to student outcomes at all levels of
the U.S. education system and at all levels of pupil performance.
And finally, we hope that doctoral programs that seek to prepare
the next generation of education researchers will find our approach
helpful in their work.
