Reliable and Valid Model

For CAEP purposes (p. 17 of the Commission report), a case study that is presented to meet one or more of CAEPÕs standards in which key outcomes and processes are gauged, changes and supporting judgments are tracked, and the changes lead to improvements. To be reliable and valid as a model, the case study should have followed CAEPÕs guidelines in identifying a worthwhile topic to study, generated ideas for change, defined the measurements, tested solutions, transformed promising ideas into sustainable solutions that achieve effectiveness reliably at scale, and shared knowledge.
