Evaluation at CTL

Innovations in teaching and learning call for innovations in evaluation. CTL's interdisciplinary evaluation teams have a reputation for applying cutting-edge approaches to studying both early-stage and mature reform initiatives in schools and community settings, providing clients data that clients can use to improve their program designs and analyze implementation and impact. CTL's researchers are experienced in conducting mixed-method evaluation studies and in using diverse study designs, including quasi-experimental and experimental outcome studies. CTL's approach is unique among providers of evaluation services in that:

We work in partnership with clients to develop a shared understanding of their initiative that drives an evaluation design and analyses that are customized to its government, commercial, and foundation clients’ needs.

We focus on learning, drawing from learning sciences research and from CTL's own design projects to investigate how students and teachers learn with technology and to help clients improve their initiative's potential to support learning.

We use a principled approach to assessment design in our evaluation studies, assuring that measures of program impact are valid measures of the important knowledge and skills an initiative is designed to improve.

We study real classrooms in their systemic context, paying attention to participants' perspectives on implementation and analyzing the social, institutional, and political factors that make technology integration possible and those that make it challenging.

We are advancing the field of evaluation in educational technology by developing tools other researchers and evaluators can use, developing new methods in evaluation, and publishing our findings.
