Approximations to Indicators of Student Outcomes
Abstract
Education policy researchers rely on a wide range of outcomes to gauge the influence of policies. Sometimes they use standardized achievement tests, and at other times they use classroom observations, teacher reports, or standardized or open-ended teacher interviews. Often, these different data collection devices are used to draw inferences about the intellectual quality of classroom events and, in turn, the quality of student learning. The purpose of this article is to examine and compare these various outcomes in terms of their potential to inform policymakers about policy influences on student outcomes.

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.
