  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Building a Comprehensive Assessment System Author: Krankowski, Ed Year: 2011 Goal: Through research and a pilot study, CSD selected the Running Record with miscue analysis (Meaning, Structure, and Syntax) as its tool for progress monitoring. The major purpose is to embed a formative assessment system into instructional delivery allowing teachers to adjust immediately to student need. The ultimate goal is to help students build balanced cueing systems when reading to accelerate achievement.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Agency Problems and Cash Savings from Equity Issuance Author: Anthony, Andrea Year: 2014 I examine the effect of ownership structure on firms' propensities to save the proceeds of a share issuance as cash. Specifically, I focus on changes in cash savings at the time of a seasoned equity offering (SEO), a moment at which the firm experiences a large inflow of cash, to determine whether ownership structures such as managerial blockholdings or the presence of institutional investors materially affect firms' decisions regarding their level of cash savings. I find that firms with managerial blockholders are more inclined to save share issuance proceeds as cash, relative to firms with outside blockholders or no blockholders present. This finding could be interpreted as consistent with either managerial entrenchment or incentive alignment, so I distinguish between these competing forces by examining SEO announcement returns. The market's reaction to SEO announcements when managerial blockholders are present is significantly worse on average when the firm has excess cash, lending support to the entrenchment explanation. I also find that firms with greater total institutional ownership save more cash from equity issuance, which is consistent with the theory that greater firm monitoring allows optimal corporate cash holdings to increase because shareholders are less concerned about potential misuses of cash.

  Citation × Citation Citation Abstract Copy Title: Effects of Self-delivered Performance Feedback and Impact Assessment via the Individual Student Information System (ISIS-SWIS) on Behavior Support Plan Treatment Fidelity and Student Outcomes Author: Pinkelman, Sarah Year: 2014 The success of behavioral interventions depends not just on the quality of procedures employed but on the extent to which procedures are implemented. This study used a multiple-baseline across participants single-case design to assess the impact of an online data management application (the Individual Student Information System; ISIS- SWIS) on the fidelity and impact of individual student behavior support plans in typical school contexts. Three students with patterns of problem behavior and their supporting adults participated in the study. The research question examined if a functional relation exists between use of (a) performance self-assessment and (b) student impact assessment via ISIS-SWIS on the fidelity of behavior support plan implementation by adults and improvement in academic engagement and problem behavior by students. Results indicate the efficacy of ISIS-SWIS in improving treatment fidelity, decreasing student problem behavior, and increasing student academic engagement. Potential contributions of the study are discussed in terms of establishing efficient data systems for schools to use in monitoring staff and student behavior and using these data in a meaningful way that results in improved student outcomes and sustained behavior change.
