To support evaluators in selecting valid and reliable outcome measures, the EEF has commissioned the development of three outcome measure databases. Each database is underpinned by a systematic review.

• The Attainment Measures database covers standardised, norm-referenced measures of attainment in literacy, mathematics and science for pupils aged 6 to 18 years.
• The Early Years Measures database covers measures of early years outcomes across the following domains: language, literacy, numeracy, social-emotional development, home environment, and the early years learning environment.
• The SPECTRUM database covers measures of children’s non-academic skills across the following domains: motivation, goal orientation and perseverance; emotional intelligence; social and emotional competence; mental health and wellbeing; resilience and coping; perceptions of self; and meta-cognitive skills.
