About this file
This is an evaluation framework document for the State of Missouri's High Quality Evidence-Based Instructional Materials Qualified Vendor List (QVL) for early literacy curriculum in grades K-5. The document provides directions for vendors to complete a self-evaluation utilizing the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Tiers of Evidence framework to demonstrate the research quality and effectiveness of their proposed programs.
The evaluation framework establishes four key assessment factors that vendors must address: Study Design, Results of the Study, Findings from Related Studies, and Sample Size and Setting, with an additional Match criterion. Vendors must select appropriate tier ratings (Tier 1 for Strong Evidence, Tier 2 for Moderate Evidence, or Tier 3 for Promising Evidence) and provide supporting documentation for each factor. Tier 1 requires at least one well-designed experimental study using randomized control trials; Tier 2 requires quasi-experimental studies; and Tier 3 requires correlational studies with statistical controls for selection bias. Additionally, programs must demonstrate statistically significant positive effects on student outcomes, show no strong negative findings from related studies, and for Tiers 1 and 2, maintain sample sizes of at least 350 participants across multiple districts or schools with demonstrated overlap to Missouri's student populations and settings. Programs meeting Tiers 1 and 2 criteria for study design, results, and related findings but lacking adequate sample size, setting, or match requirements may qualify for Tier 3 designation.

ATTACHMENT 3
Self-Evaluation Utilizing Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) Tiers of Evidence
Directions for Completion Provide the supporting research or studies for each factor that demonstrate that the program is Tier 1 (Strong Evidence), Tier 2 (Moderate Evidence), or Tier 3 (Promising Evidence) on the ESSA Tiers of Evidence.

| Evidence to Justify Selected Score |
Study Design
Select one:
· Tier 1 – At least one well-designed and well-implemented experimental study of the program submitted, using a randomized control trial that meets peer review requirements.
· Tier 2 – At least one well-designed and implemented quasi-experimental study of the program submitted.
· Tier 3 – At least one well-designed and implemented correlational study, which statistically controls for selection bias, of the program submitted.
· Does not meet the Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 criteria Provide the study or studies of the program and a narrative on the study design.
Results of the Study
Select one:
· Tier 1, 2, & 3 – Shows a statistically significant and positive effect of the program on a student outcome or other relevant outcome.
· Does not meet the Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 criteria Outline the statistical significance of the study or studies.
Findings from Related Studies
Select one:
· Tier 1, 2, & 3 – No strong negative findings from experimental or quasi-experimental studies.
· Does not meet the Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 criteria Provide additional studies directly related to the program submitted that indicate a compelling likelihood to increase literacy outcomes.
Sample Size and Setting
Select one:
· Tier 1 & 2 – Have a large sample size (at least 350 participants) in more than one district or school.
· Does not meet the Tier 1 & Tier 2 criteria Provide the sample size of the study or studies.
Match
Select one:
· Tier 1 & 2 – Have a sample that overlaps with the student populations in Missouri and the settings in Missouri.
· Does not meet the Tier 1 & Tier 2 criteria Provide evidence that the sample overlaps with Missouri’s student populations and settings.
Note: Findings from experimental and quasi-experimental studies that meet the study design, results of the study, and findings from related studies criteria for Tiers 1 and 2 but not the sample size, setting, or match requirements are eligible to meet Tier 3 (Promising Evidence).
