Description

The article describes an evidence-review approach in which a research organization compiles a large body of studies and convenes expert panels to interpret the data. As printed, "The Center on Reinventing Public Education compiled hundreds of studies and convened panels of experts to interpret what the data show." This pairs a broad compiled evidence base with structured expert judgment to characterize what the evidence indicates about pandemic effects on students.

Accounts

  • Expert-panel interpretation of a compiled study base as a method for establishing what pandemic evidence shows: The article describes an evidence-review approach in which a research organization compiles a large body of studies and convenes expert panels to interpret the data. As printed, "The Center on Reinventing Public Education compiled hundreds of studies and convened panels of experts to interpret what the data show." This pairs a broad compiled evidence base with structured expert judgment to characterize what the evidence indicates about pandemic effects on students. (Martin R. West (2021))
  • Set ELP performance standards through a deliberative process combining empirical analyses with informed, trained expert judges rather than empirical data alone: The report's foundational principle is that standard setting for EL accountability criteria is "not merely an empirical procedure" but requires empirical information plus informed judges in a rational, coherent, transparent deliberative process. Empirical methods ground policy deliberations and clarify implications of options, while qualified, trained panelists make the final judgment. The report applies this by pairing the analytic methods of Chapters II–IV with guidelines drawn from standard-setting best practices. (Cook et al. (2012))
