"Teachers make judgments about students every day, based on such formal and informal appraisals of their work as classroom observation, homework assignments, and teacher-made quizzes. Soon, they'll have the first set of professional standards to help guide them in making such decisions." A Practical Guide to Designing and Assessing Student Evaluation Student evaluation and assessment are central to every school and classroom. Evaluation and assessment are how we find out what students are learning, how they are progressing, and how we can make improvements for their future development. With requirements for testing and standards-based instruction at an all-time high, effective student evaluation is more essential today than ever before. But where in the instructional process should assessments occur? What kinds of questions should be asked? How is the information used to direct student learning? Who has the right to access and use this information? The Joint Committee presents 28 certified standards for assessing evaluation practices in elementary and secondary classrooms. These standards are broken down into four essential attributes of sound evaluation, each providing definitions, guidelines, common errors, supportive documentation, and illustrative case studies:
These standards provide teachers and administrators with the tools they need to master every "nuance" of student evaluation, including validity, political viability, teacher biases, conflicts of interest, a student?s right to privacy, and much more. But most important, they will help ensure that student evaluation practices are on track, so we can properly serve and improve student learning. These standards have been approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and were developed with assistance from members of 16 professional societies: American Association of School Administrators American Counseling Association American Educational Research Association American Evaluation Association American Psychological Association Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development Canadian Evaluation Society Canadian Society for the Study of Education Consortium for Research on Educational Accountability and Teacher Evaluation Council of Chief State School Officers National Association of Elementary School Principals National Association of Secondary School Principals National Council on Measurement in Education National Education Association National Legislative Program Evaluation Society National School Boards Association
The National Science Foundations (NSF) Advanced Technological
Education (ATE) program is a diverse and dynamic set of projects
intent on improving the USA's technical workforce. This book uses
the ATE work as a means to focus on key issues for federally funded
projects and all community colleges facing the difficult challenges
of staying current and reaching constituents in positive ways.
This book brings a wealth of information on key issues for community colleges. Topics addressed include: How to sustain innovative programs In developing these topics the authors drew heavily on previous research and a common set of evaluation studies including site visits at 13 different projects and surveys of more than 100 ATE projects.
Supercharge your formative assessment skills and watch student learning soar! Teachers routinely ask and answer a series of three questions with and for students: Where are my students headed? Where are they right now? How can I close the gap between where they are and where I want them to be? This text suggests that teachers also ask these parallel questions of themselves: Where am I going? What can formative assessment practice look like? Where am I currently in my formative assessment practice? How do I close the gap? Readers are then encouraged to select a specific aspect of formative assessment to investigate, explore relevant personal practice relevant to that aspect, implement necessary changes, reflect on those changes, and continue the change process. This practical guide can be used by individual teachers or collaboratively as a study guide for a learning community. The authors describe an effective four-step process for improving teachers' formative assessment practices that provides opportunities to reflect, consider alternative instructional approaches, and apply what they have learned. Case studies provide examples of formative assessment in practice, along with examples of teacher-implemented changes. A companion website includes an array of tools and templates for organizing, gathering, and systematically using information to strengthen formative assessment skills.
