The MAP Academy hosted Jessaca Spybrook, associate professor of educational leadership, research, and technology at Western Michigan University, for the Dec. 3-4 Emerging Scholars Series. The series featured a keynote presentation, statistics workshop and an early career meeting for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.
Spybrook’s keynote address is titled “Moving Beyond the Average Treatment Effect: A Look at Power Analyses for Moderator Effects in Cluster Randomized Trials.” She explains power calculations for moderator effects at the individual and cluster level for two and three-level CRTS. She also discusses the implications of these power calculations for the overall design of CRTs in education.
