Abstract

This session highlights innovative methodologies used to evaluate educational programs and policies. From causal forests and growth curve modeling to latent profile analysis and item response theory, these studies offer rigorous approaches to understanding impact and heterogeneity. Topics include the effects of performance information on parental investment, long-term outcomes of Pre-K funding, and teacher perceptions of arts-based programs. The group will discuss how advanced analytics can inform decision-making, improve measurement tools, and support equity-focused evaluation in complex educational systems.
