I targeted specifically for teachers, administrators, policymakers, and other practitioners, but generally useful to the broad educational community. I designed to provide an overview of information on a given topic, plus references to items providing more detailed information. If produced by the 16 subject-specialized ERIC Clearinghouses, and reviewed by experts and content specialists in the field. funded by the Office of Educational Resecrich and Improvement (0ER1), of the U.S. Department of Education. If available in original printed form directly from the producing Clearinghouses (ask to be placed on their mailing lists ERIC Ready Reference #6 lists the Clearinghouses, together with full addresses, telephone numbers, and brief scope notes describing the areas they cover). Although there were precursors in 1981-1983, historically ERIC Digests began to emerge seriously in 1984 as one of the most desirable and popular publication products of the ERIC Clearinghouses. In the early period, there had been several names in vogue for the brief two-page documents that users were beginning to ask for in such quantities, e.g., Short Reports, Fact Sheets, OSA, Summaries, etc. In order to avoid confusion, the ERIC components finally agreed to use the standard designation Digest for these 1-2 page documents. Initially, Digests were not entered into the ERIC database because it was not the usual practice to select such brief one-page documents for the database. However, the popularity of Digests quickly led to an exception being made in their case. Today, all ERIC Digests are routinely entered into the ERIC database and their full text collected for the ERIC Digests Online (EDO) file. Before such processing became routine, however, there were 156 Digests produced in the early years which had time to become dated or obsolete and which, therefore, have not been retrospectively added to the database. These Digests are listed in Ready Reference *10 (without ED numbers), but do not have resumes in the ERIC database, do not have ED accession numbers, and do not appear in this bibliography. This bibliography is a three-year supplement to the main bibliography of the same name published in April 1993 and covering Digest production through March 1993 (see ED 358 864). This supplement contains resumes for all Digests entered into the ERIC database for the April 1993 March 1996 issues of Resources in Education (RIE), a total of 439 Digests. A statistical summary following this Introduction provides data on ERIC Digests by Clearinghouse and by year of announcement. The Digest resumes are sorted in descending order by ED number, thereby placing the most recent items first and the oldest last. Approximately 150 new Digests are now produced each year by the ERIC Clearinghouses. Ready Reference #10, which is periodically updated, provides a primary alphabetic list of Digest titles (Ready Reference #10A) and a secondary list of these same titles arranged by Clearinghouse (Ready Reference #10B). (See Appendixes B and C, respectively.) The last attachment is a list of 1,507 Digests (78% of total) whose full text is available online and via CD-ROM systems. (See Appendix D.)

  • Special Analysis
    ASPIRE AWARDS Document Updated: December 2, 2011 ASPIRE Award for Teachers 2010–2011: Special Analysis Background Special Analysis refers to the alternative methods used to determine awards if staff are assigned to a campus where data are not available or where staff are not easily attributed to a single organization. This document describes the award exceptions and how they are calculated. Specific campuses which require Special Analysis are listed. For the regular methods used in award determination, please reference the document 2010–2011 ASPIRE Awards for Teachers, posted on the HISD ASPIRE portal, which also provides an overall description of the various strands segmented by staff category. Strand I: Campus Value-added Strand Strand I is based on the EVAAS®-generated campus value-added cumulative gain index (mean gain score adjusted by the standard error). It measures student performance across grades (3–11) and subjects (Reading, Math, Language Arts, Social Studies and Science) by producing a single mean NCE gain over grades relative to the growth standard. Several campuses did not have the student achievement data to allow for the calculation of the mean gain score. Also, there were schools with multiple organizational numbers which require adjustment in the payout. These campuses require Special Analysis. • Special Analysis Type I: Schools without a value-added cumulative gain index were matched with the campus with which they had the highest number of shared students over the past three years or equivalent strong relationship. The matched school provided the value-added cumulative gain index, the quartile ranking and the payout amounts for the campuses in this analysis group.
