Dear SIGRME Members:

The following email is on behalf Heather Hill and the EdInstruments Team at the Annenberg Institute, Brown University


Dear Education Research Community,

Please help us crowdsource to create a resource for all of us.

We are developing EdInstruments, an open-source library of education-relevant measurement tools for scholars, educators, schools, districts and the general public.

With your help we can populate the repository. If you have used an instrument in your research that you believe is reliable and valid for its purpose, please add it using the form on https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://edinstruments.com/suggest__;!!Mih3wA!U8H1axT3x68rl8dYwO4gyo2LtpB6nsROp0NODMh36i9RJ7fvczGWjat0_3O_M43ljqTTcg$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https*3A*2F*2Furldefense.proofpoint.com*2Fv2*2Furl*3Fu*3Dhttps-3A__nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com_-3Furl-3Dhttps-253A-252F-252Furldefense.proofpoint.com-252Fv2-252Furl-253Fu-253Dhttps-2D3A-5F-5Fedinstruments.com-5Fsuggest-2526d-253DDwMGaQ-2526c-253Dkbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU-2526r-253D-5F1FPIMrntivFYnnIX-2Dum8XLdZf-2DKDGpRqPH9bT5-5FayY-2526m-253DM6vlRaZprNqouKwfpwZ-5F5stJpKcPzb4vU3kpkh8izjg-2526s-253DOw6Zz6URrcv9RB-5FzQBxGWBsOI0gIbz7OFE0PWa4oIB4-2526e-253D-26data-3D02-257C01-257Cnicole.m.joseph-2540vanderbilt.edu-257Cac7fbec8ad0b4481096808d7f759cc48-257Cba5a7f39e3be4ab3b45067fa80faecad-257C0-257C0-257C637249837365854948-26sdata-3D25WsTyqkMSQ1cKmC4Guhxx0hZkGNzkB5Sr8pBjIbvyc-253D-26reserved-3D0*26d*3DDwMGaQ*26c*3Dkbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU*26r*3D_1FPIMrntivFYnnIX-um8XLdZf-KDGpRqPH9bT5_ayY*26m*3D82GsS_fZnn35oMfN15PajCfWY1qammfB3ozny-QwXEk*26s*3D_rBWqJ8zLMmR3BM8oGKB1R55GynbalXUJRvu8DEayfs*26e*3D&data=02*7C01*7Cdkirsh*40LSU.EDU*7C589aedad10f44cfa072608d7f83ebc0e*7C2d4dad3f50ae47d983a09ae2b1f466f8*7C0*7C0*7C637250820639684351&sdata=AsSS6O9Hl8FhZqHhmm1erKS4cuXyb9NuBxdrptE2ovg*3D&reserved=0__;JSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJSUlJQ!!Mih3wA!U8H1axT3x68rl8dYwO4gyo2LtpB6nsROp0NODMh36i9RJ7fvczGWjat0_3O_M42Hq1Z1zg$ > or through email to Maxine Offiaeli, EdInstruments Project Coordinator, at info@edinstruments.com<mailto:info@edinstruments.com>. Please include the citation to your work and any other information you have about the instrument.

The four educationally relevant domains for which we are collecting instruments include Academic Knowledge & Skills (e.g. math, English language arts...), Beyond Academic Capabilities (inter- and intra- personal skills and attitudes), Home & Community (e.g. parenting and neighborhoods), and Schooling (e.g. teaching, school processes...). For each instrument in a given domain, EdInstruments will provide an array of information such as grade level, language, price, contact information, psychometric references, and where it has appeared in peer-reviewed studies.

Why do this? Too many researchers and educators struggle to find reliable, valid measures of processes and outcomes important to their work. This difficulty means researchers often create their own instruments, potentially duplicating the efforts of others and leading to inefficiencies in how we invest our resources. EdInstruments aims to address this need. First, it identifies and catalogues available instruments to help a broad audience compare and choose the appropriate tools for their needs. Second, EdInstruments aims to illuminate the holes in current measurement, thus facilitating the development of new measures necessary to understand and, in turn, improve educational opportunities for students. Currently, without a comprehensive catalog of what is available, the field lacks a collective understanding of what is and isn't being measured and what measures need to be developed.

In addition to hosting EdInstruments, we will also run a series of meetings to better organize the instruments, to identify holes in our measurement coverage, and to highlight particularly promising new measures. We hope that you will be a part of those meetings as well.

Thank you for helping us grow EdInstruments.

Be well,

Susanna and the EdInstruments Team at the Annenberg Institute, Brown University
