Identifying Growth Indicators for Low-Achieving Students in Middle School Mathematics
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to explore the technical adequacy of potential indicators of growth in mathematics at the middle school level. Correlation and regression analyses were used to investigate the reliability and criterion validity of four measures in mathematics. One hundred students from a racially and socioeconomically diverse urban middle school completed 4 measures (1 involving basic facts and 3 involving estimation) twice in a 1-week period. Criterion measures included grades in school, standardized test scores, and teacher ratings. Results indicated the measures are reliable and possess acceptable levels of criterion validity; thus, they may prove to be useful as indicators of mathematics proficiency for middle school students.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
