Methodology

Sampling:  View help for Sampling In years 2018-2019, the research team undertook an embedded multiple case study (Yin, 2017) in four districts, one district in four of the Center’s partner states--California, Massachusetts, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The districts within each state were purposefully chosen from a random sample of districts identified for a parallel survey study conducted by the Center (see c-sail.org). District selection criteria for our case study included (a) one rural district, two suburban districts, and one urban district, (b) a balance of affluent and economically disadvantaged districts, (c) relatively high populations of SWDs and ELs compared to other districts in the state, and (d) active engagement in reforming their curricula to align with recently revised state standards. We traveled to these four districts and spent one week interviewing general education teachers, SWD teachers, EL teachers, principals, instructional coaches, and district leaders (e.g., curriculum directors, SWD directors, EL directors, superintendents or their designees) using semi-structured, 30-45 minute interview protocols that included questions about their experiences with using the standards to design and deliver lessons, their district’s curricular reform efforts, PD opportunities, assessment and accountability, and supports for SWDs and ELs.
