Using Lot Quality Assurance Sampling to Monitor Impact of Early Grade Reading Programs
A 2013 pilot application in Ghana monitoring the quality of reading instruction in the early grades demonstrated the relevance and applicability of LQAS as a monitoring methodology for education programs, particularly in developing countries that lack existing mechanisms to efficiently and routinely assess performance at sub-national levels. This pilot showed that the LQAS approach could be easily adopted to effectively, routinely, and sustainably monitor the quality of instruction at the local level. This is a presentation on the pilot program.
