| Growth, Precision, and CAT: An Examination of Gain Score Conditional SEM | Monitoring the growth of student learning is a critically important component of modern education. Such growth is typically monitored using gain scores representing differences between two testing occasions, such as prior to and following a year of instruction. | Thompson, Tony D. | 12-2008 |
| Perspective™-Integrated Assessment and Instructional Resources System | The Learning Locator is the mechanism that connects students with appropriate learning materials based on their assessment performance. | Meyers, Jason L.

| A Comparison of Methods of Estimating Subscale Scores for Mixed-Format Test | Because the world is complex and resources are often limited, test scores often serve to both rank individuals and provide diagnostic feedback (Wainer, Vevea, Camacho, Reeve, Rosa, Nelson, Swygert, and Thissen, 2000). | Shin, David | 05-2007 |
| An Empirical Investigation of Growth Models | With the recent legislation of NCLB, there has been an increasing interest to measure students’ growth over the course of their schooling. | O'Malley, Kimberly
