Publication Defining, Developing, and Using Curriculum Indicators(2001-12-01) Porter, Andrew C; Smithson, John LWe begin with a brief review of the lessons learned in the Reform Up Close study, a Consortium for Policy Research in Education (CPRE) project funded by the National Science Foundation, then discuss the central issues involved in defining and measuring curriculum indicators, while noting how our approach has developed over the past 10 years (1992-2002). This is followed by a discussion about using curriculum indicators in school improvement, program evaluation, and informing policy decisions.Publication Reform of High School Mathematics and Science and Opportunity to Learn(1994-09-01) Porter, Andrew C; Kirst, Michael W; Osthoff, Eric; Smithson, John L; Schneider, Steven AThis brief concerns the nature of the high school mathematics and science curriculum in the United States. It draws from a large study which documented instructional practices and content using novel methodologies. This research approach is a promising step toward the development of indicators of opportunity to learn. The study also provides encouraging news about the effects of increased standards in math and science - they did not result in a watering down of the curriculum. However, practice in the schools studied is a far cry from the ambitious goals for math and science instruction now being developed by the profession.Publication In Search of Terra Firma: Administrative Records on Teachers’ Positional Instability across Subjects, Grades, and Schools and the Implications for Deploying Randomized Controlled Trials(2016-01-01) Boruch, Robert; Merlino, F. Joseph; Bowdon, Jill; Baker, John; Chao, Jessica; Park, Ji Eun; Frisone, Michael; Ye, Tianpeng; Porter, Andrew C; Hooks, Tom
