- Phase III–What Works in Oklahoma?
This document contains the Phase III report from the What Works in Oklahoma Schools study. As opposed to describing the findings from the study that was conducted, it provides a tool-kit that can be used by Oklahoma principals and teachers to determine the best courses of action for their schools and classrooms. The tools provided in this report are based on the recommendations from the Phase I and Phase II elements of this study.
- Phase II–What Works in Oklahoma?
Phase II provides a more detailed examination of classroom variables important to achievement in Oklahoma schools. Where Phase I addressed all nine of the Oklahoma essential elements using survey data, Phase II focuses on what occurs in Oklahoma classrooms primarily using data from principal interviews, classroom observations (on-site), and video recording observations. Teacher data is anonymous and video recordings of teachers were viewed only by MRL researchers involved in the study.

This report seeks to determine the importance of nine essential elements to being classified as a school in need of improvement. 61 schools are involved in this study with approximately half of those schools on improvement status. Data for this phase was collected from surveys that were administered to administrators, teachers, students, and parents in each of the 61 schools.
