However, we did not use a time parameter in our HLM models; instead, we used the mean average report of participants (teachers in this case) across the yearly survey administrations. The example measure is extent to which teachers report receiving &#8220;instructional guidance&#8221; from the CSR programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"535\" height=\"530\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2026\/06\/HLM-SPSS-Instructional-Guidance.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-641\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The screenshots below show the basic HLM model used by Rowan and Miller (2007), and the settings necessary to create, school-level residuals representing the organizational processes used by CSR programs to promote instructional improvement. Again, the &#8220;instructional guidance&#8221; scale is used in the example at level-1. At level-2, the control variables included teachers&#8217; gender, race, teaching experience and highest degree earned. At level-3, the school controls include the concentration of household poverty within census tract zone, school enrollment, percent minority students and the average WJ-R language score by kindergartners upon entry to a school. The HLM output for this model can be viewed\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2026\/06\/HLM-Instructional-Guidance.txt\">here<\/a>. The final screenshot shows that the school level residual for teachers&#8217; reports of &#8220;instructional guidance&#8221; have been saved. In turn, the residuals for all 12 measures of organizational process (<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/measures-scales\/teacher-leader-reports\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"67\">described here<\/a>) were displayed as error bars (<a href=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/key-findings\/processes-for-instructional-improvement#instguidegraph\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"51\">here<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"535\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2026\/06\/HLM-Model.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-643\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"535\" height=\"532\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/24\/2026\/06\/HLM-Model-Residual.gif\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-644\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/measures-scales\/hlm-model-procedures-for-organizational-processes-analysis#top\">Back to top<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The SPSS screenshot below shows that z-scored person-level measures produced from Winsteps (example work found here) have been stacked vertically<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":0,"parent":65,"menu_order":6,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"templates\/page-sidebar-left.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-79","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"fimg_url":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/79","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=79"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/79\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":649,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/79\/revisions\/649"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/65"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.marsal.umich.edu\/sii\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=79"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
