Sociodemographic inequalities in student achievement: An intersectional multilevel analysis of individual heterogeneity and discriminatory accuracy (MAIHDA) with application to students in London, England
Lucy Prior, Clare Evans, Juan Merlo +1
Sociodemographic inequalities in student achievement are a persistent concern for education systems and are increasingly recognized to be intersectional. Intersectionality consider…
Decomposing ethnic achievement gaps across multiple levels of analysis and for multiple ethnic groups
Beatriz Gallo Cordoba, George Leckie, William J. Browne
Ethnic achievement gaps are often explained in terms of student and school factors. The decomposition of these gaps into their within- and between-school components has therefore b…
Mixed-effects location scale models for joint modelling school value-added effects on the mean and variance of student achievement
George Leckie, Richard Parker, Harvey Goldstein +1
School value-added models are widely applied to study, monitor, and hold schools to account for school differences in student learning. The traditional model is a mixed-effects lin…
A Comparison of Value-Added Models for School Accountability
George Leckie, Lucy Prior
School accountability systems increasingly hold schools to account for their performances using value-added models purporting to measure the effects of schools on student learning.…
A review and evaluation of secondary school accountability in England: Statistical strengths, weaknesses, and challenges for 'Progress 8'
Lucy Prior, John Jerrim, Dave Thomson +1
School performance measures are published annually in England to hold schools to account and to support parental school choice. This article reviews and evaluates the Progress 8 se…
Providing educational accountability for Local Authorities based upon sampling pupils within schools: moving away from simplistic school league tables
Harvey Goldstein, George Leckie, Lucy Prior
This paper proposes an alternative educational accountability system for England that moves away from simplistic comparisons, or league tables, among schools towards a more nuanced…
School value-added models for multivariate academic and non-academic outcomes: A more rounded approach to using student data to inform school accountability
Lucy Prior, Harvey Goldstein, George Leckie
Education systems around the world increasingly rely on school value-added models to hold schools to account. These models typically focus on a limited number of academic outcomes,…
The implications of Labour's plan to scrap Key Stage 2 tests for Progress 8 and secondary school accountability in England
George Leckie, Lucy Prior, Harvey Goldstein
In England, Progress 8 is the Conservative government's headline secondary school performance and accountability measure. Progress 8 attempts to measure the average academic progre…
Variance partitioning in multilevel models for count data
George Leckie, William Browne, Harvey Goldstein +2
A first step when fitting multilevel models to continuous responses is to explore the degree of clustering in the data. Researchers fit variance-component models and then report th…
Methods and Software for the Multilevel Social Relations Model: A Tutorial
Jeremy Koster, George Leckie, Brandy Aven +1
This tutorial demonstrates the estimation and interpretation of the Multilevel Social Relations Model for dyadic data. The Social Relations Model is appropriate for data structures…
Multilevel models for continuous outcomes
George Leckie
Multilevel models (mixed-effect models or hierarchical linear models) are now a standard approach to analysing clustered and longitudinal data in the social, behavioural and medica…
Multiple membership multilevel models
George Leckie
Multiple membership multilevel models are an extension of standard multilevel models for non-hierarchical data that have multiple membership structures. Traditional multilevel mode…
Cross-classified multilevel models
George Leckie
Cross-classified multilevel modelling is an extension of standard multilevel modelling for non-hierarchical data that have cross-classified structures. Traditional multilevel model…
Should we adjust for pupil background in school value-added models? A study of Progress 8 and school accountability in England
George Leckie, Harvey Goldstein
In the UK, US and elsewhere, school accountability systems increasingly compare schools using value-added measures of school performance derived from pupil scores in high-stakes st…
