Office of Charter School Research
Research Design
With the Indiana charter school movement being in the early stages of growth, the opportunities to develop strategies for longitudinal research are endless. The Office of Charter School Research has partnered with the Charter School Association of Indiana, the Office of Charter Schools, the Office of the Mayor of Indianapolis, Indiana's authorizing school districts, and the Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) to administer the MAP Test of Student Achievement to Indiana charter school students two to three times each year.
