  14. User Acceptance of New Programs is Critical • Willingness to use the system • Willingness to follow procedures • Acceptance of results or decisions • Survival of the program over time • Survival of the program champions

  15. Ratings of Teacher Performance Can Be Reliable & Valid • Reliability evidence from two sites: • Vaughn: inter-rater reliability (domain level) =.76-.83 • Cincinnati (domain level) : 69-80% absolute inter-rater agreement; reliability of 5-6 observations = .85-.89 • Criterion-related validity evidence from two sites: • Vaughn: .55 reading, .24 math • Cincinnati: .27 reading, .38 math, .26-.27 science • Notes of caution
