Project Overview: Three Phases Phase 1—INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT (2008-2009) Phase 1—INSTRUMENT DEVELOPMENT (2008-2009) Literature review Literature review Survey of the field (expected outcomes and current practices) Survey of the field (expected outcomes and current practices) Selection of measures with input from the CDE and Accountability and Outcomes Subcommittee Selection of measures with input from the CDE and Accountability and Outcomes Subcommittee Phase 2—PILOT STUDY (currently underway) Phase 2—PILOT STUDY (currently underway) Pre-piloting to test procedures and instructions to students, staff, and teachers; and to determine feasibility of online administration of surveys Pre-piloting to test procedures and instructions to students, staff, and teachers; and to determine feasibility of online administration of surveys Piloting to test NEAR-FINAL protocols under varying conditions Piloting to test NEAR-FINAL protocols under varying conditions Phase 3—FIELD STUDY (2010-2011) Phase 3—FIELD STUDY (2010-2011)

Pre-Pilot Activities Staff directed the administration of the online surveys to groups of students (2 to 6 groups per site) Staff directed the administration of the online surveys to groups of students (2 to 6 groups per site) Staff were provided a script and guidelines about the survey administration Staff were provided a script and guidelines about the survey administration Students completed online surveys about their skill development and behavior and about their experience taking the survey Students completed online surveys about their skill development and behavior and about their experience taking the survey Researchers observed surveying process and noted student feedback Researchers observed surveying process and noted student feedback ASES staff and classroom teachers completed the online surveys about individual students’ behavior and were interviewed about their experiences completing the surveys ASES staff and classroom teachers completed the online surveys about individual students’ behavior and were interviewed about their experiences completing the surveys Instructions and surveys were tweaked (mid pre-pilot) based on issues identified in the observations and interviews Instructions and surveys were tweaked (mid pre-pilot) based on issues identified in the observations and interviews
