We collaborated with TLA researchers to develop and deliver three measurement instruments. Our focus was to develop measurement instruments that were reliable and action-oriented. Also, we led early validity research with TLA’s team to study the structural properties of two of those instruments.

WHO THEY ARE:
The Learning Accelerator (TLA) is building a world in which each student receives the effective, engaging, and equitable education they need to reach their full and unique potential.
TLA is a national nonprofit. Its focus is accelerating individual, organization, and sector learning to transform K-12 education. Now in their 10th year of operation, they’re working alongside educators across the nation. Their primary goal is to advance a research-informed vision for equitable teaching and learning that are personalized, mastery-based, and comprehensively developing.
They’re making the ‘potential’ possible for every learner. They are actively bridging gaps in understanding and access to necessary resources, tools, and networks and through catalyzing greater collective action and change. [Excerpt from TLA’s website. Click to continue reading.]

HOW WE PARTNERED TOGETHER:
In 2022, TLA’s capable, but small research team was tasked with developing reliable and valid measurement tools. These tools would be used for two high-profile district-level implementations, both with accelerated timelines. Measure By Design’s Dr. Joe partnered with TLA as a senior advisor. She assessed their need, strategized with their research team, and set actions for the path forward.

As a function of our consultation and deep work, we strengthened TLA’s assessment development competencies, and ensured the on-time delivery of usable measures.

THE CLIENT’S EXPERIENCE WITH MBD:
“As a Senior Research Advisor for The Learning Accelerator (TLA), Jilliam has provided invaluable support across many measurement projects. What I appreciate about Jilliam is, in addition to her deep expertise, her willingness to build our capacity as a research team every time that we meet – whether helping us understand the process for designing reliable and valid measurement instruments or collaborating with us on proposals. It is an honor to be able to work with her regularly.”
– Dr. Beth Holland, Research & Measurement Partner, The Learning Accelerator (TLA)
