The use of Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) in education is in its infancy; it could be compared with the state of CBA 100 years ago in other government operations, when such practices were infrequently and inconsistently applied. Today the demand for accountability for both student achievement and fiscal resources has increased with the recent No Child Left Behind legislation (United States Department of Education, 2002), and as a result data-driven decision making has become more important. CBA procedures may enhance data-driven decision making because CBA provides information that can be considered in conjunction with research-based program implementation.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a The use of Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) in education is in its infancy; it could be compared with the state of CBA 100 years ago in other government operations, when such practices were infrequently and inconsistently applied. Today the demand for accountability for both student achievement and fiscal resources has increased with the recent No Child Left Behind legislation (United States Department of Education, 2002), and as a result data-driven decision making has become more important. CBA procedures may enhance data-driven decision making because CBA provides information that can be considered in conjunction with research-based program implementation.
520 $a This study explores the application of CBA to an educational setting, examining two reading tutorial programs designed to help struggling readers. The programs, Reading Recovery and Book Buddies, were selected because they are recognized as effective tutorial programs (Snow, Burns & Griffin, 1998). In addition, literacy is a key area addressed through NCLB, and it is important that we know more about the costs and benefits of programs that can favorably impact beginning readers. Three sites took part in the study---a Reading Recovery site, a Book Buddies site, and a No Tutorial site. The CBA practices that were applied here were similar to those used by the National Institute for Health and other non-profit organizations.
520 $a This study was guided by two questions: (a) Do the cost benefit analysis strategies developed in the nonprofit world offer educators a framework for the development of a cost benefit analysis model which can be applied to an educational setting; (b) to what degree can a CBA model be applied to two early intervention reading tutorials: Reading Recovery and Book Buddies, and which is more cost effective in relation to this particular study?
520 $a The CBA model was successfully applied, although the procedure was difficult because site data was not easily obtainable. The results indicated that Book Buddies was more cost effective than Reading Recovery; however, additional studies should be conducted to determine if these results are replicable in other settings. Similarly, the CBA model used here should be applied to other educational programs to determine its functionality.
