http://mathforum.org/t2t/faq/faq.assessmentprep.html

Extractions: Assessments Discussions Dr. Math ... Web Resources This question has been sent to the T2T service by teachers of many different grade levels. Teachers and school systems assess students with a variety of tools, including standardized achievement tests, mastery tests, in-class tests, performance assessments, baseline assessments, and portfolio assessments. There are countless ways to prepare students, depending on the type of assessment being used. While this page contains many methods, it is just a place to start. A teacher must understand what the assessment measures. Many standardized tests are not available for parents and teachers to view. Instead, information can be obtained directly from the test companies or from school administrators. What math topics will be covered? Is it a multiple choice test? What skills, strategies and problem-solving methods are involved?

Extractions: The assessment of candidates for teacher education and certification in Missouri was authorized by the Excellence in Education Act in 1985. The Missouri State Board of Education has approved the College Basic Academic Subjects Examination (CBASE) as the official assessment required for admittance into professional education programs. The Board has also approved the Praxis II: Subject Assessments/Specialty Area Tests to be the official assessments required for the certification of professional school personnel. College Basic Academic Subjects Examination (CBASE) The College Basic Academic Subjects Examination (CBASE) is a criterion-referenced achievement test developed by the Assessment Resource Center at the University of Missouri - Columbia. Consisting of five parts, including a writing component, the CBASE assesses knowledge and skills in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Concurrently, the exam measures three cross-disciplinary competencies: interpretive reasoning, strategic reasoning, and adaptive reasoning. Achievement in these areas is usually gained through a general education program during the first years of undergraduate study. The CBASE determines the degree of mastery that has been attained in the particular skills and reasoning competencies. Score reports yielded by the CBASE can serve a genuinely diagnostic purpose by identifying the relative strengths and weaknesses in the areas assessed. The Missouri State Board of Education adopted the CBASE for use as the official assessment for entry into professional education programs at the colleges and universities. The CBASE is not required for individuals seeking post-baccalaureate certification.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES K-12 MATH AND SCIENCE EDUCATION TESTING AND LICENSING TEACHERS Wednesday, August 4, 1999 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. 2318 Rayburn House Office Building On August 4, 1999, at 1:00 p.m., the Committee on Science will hold a hearing to examine issues related to K-12 mathematics and science teachers, including testing and certification. This is the fourth in a series of hearings on science and mathematics education issues being conducted by the Committee on Science during the 106 th Congress. The purpose of this fourth hearing is to examine issues relating to qualifying prospective teachers to begin teaching and to maintain this eligibility during their tenure of classroom teaching. Among those areas to be explored are State certification standards, accountability measures, and licensing requirements. Never before have the qualifications of teachers have been under such scrutiny in the debate regarding K-12 education. Attention now is being focused on quality teaching, and not exclusively on curriculum, funding and student testing, as a primary factor in improving education. An increasing base of research is conclusively linking low student test scores to poor teaching. In fact, evidence is accumulating that the single most influential factor, next to parental involvement, in student achievement in all subjects is the expertise of the teacher. However, subject matter expertise is not sufficient for quality teaching. Nor is mastery of pedagogy enough. We are learning that to effectively deliver information to students, teachers must have a strong background in content

Extractions: Reading the Reports, Testing the Tests adapted from Teach Our Children Well (Calfee and Patrick, 1989) Our first word of advice is that you become a more knowledgeable consumer of information about schooling in this new era. Most people learn about schools from the media, from friends and relatives, and from occasional school visits. None of these sources is especially trustworthy at present; they overwhelm but do not enlighten. Education is an inherently political enterprise. In an earlier era, politics were more local than in today's world. This includes the politics of the local school, now overrun by district, state, and federal mandates and regulations. As noted in Chapter 2, schooling looks quite different when parents are asked about their local school and when citizens are asked about schools in general. How can we make sense of what the media say about schools? The most accessible sources of information about education come from standardized tests. State bureaucrats convene press conferences when the yearly findings are finally calculated, and the media come when called. While standardized tests have limitations, they do correlate with other, more trustworthy indicators; they mean something and should not be dismissed out of hand. Here are four criteria you should apply to reports of standardized-test results; the "it" in all but the third instance is whatever the test measures:

It takes a brave public servant - or one with a seat as safe as Fort Knox - to stay on the sidelines at a time like this.

Extractions: George Mason University, 4A5, Fairfax, VA 22030 Abstract: Background: The Center for the New Engineer (CNE) at George Mason University (http://www.cne.gmu.edu) has been investigating the philosophy and practice for teaching and learning engineering for the 21st century. We are learning how to serve self-paced, proficiency-based, hands-on learning at the student's desktop without loss of quality. The supporting technologies fit hyperlearning, a non-linear model of learning, that will come to dominate the "virtual university" and commercial educational services. Our first generation of hyperlearning environments are embodied in a library of eleven CNE modules. The most difficult technical problem is assessment of student learning. You will find it helpful to sample our library of modules on the CNE web pages. Pay special attention to the subway maps used for general navigation and to the self-assessment tests embedded in the math and statistics refresher modules. In 1994, as new CRCD investigators, we undertook to develop online modules that would teach engineering students about complex systems in other domains that had research tools and methods of use to engineers. By the end of 1995 we had built a small library of 11 modules that were used successfully in computer science classes. These modules enabled instructors to spend less time on certain topics during class; and they enabled the students to complete more sophisticated homework problems.

Extractions: (IN ADDITION TO UTSA ADMISSION) Effective Fall 2004, the College of Business will implement an undergraduate admissions and academic standing policy. The admissions policy is based primarily on high school class rankings of students with fewer than 30 hours of college credit, and on the grade point average for internal and external transfer students. Students who do not meet requirements for direct admission to the College will be considered based on their UTSA academic record. For more information, go to the UTSA College of Business Web site at http://business.utsa.edu The Honors College is a community of highly talented and motivated students who want the excitement and stimulation of a comprehensive, urban university and the individual attention available in an Honors College. The Honors College is open to students from all academic disciplines. Members of the Honors College pursue a rigorous academic program which satisfies all requirements of their academic departments and colleges and goes beyond those requirements to provide the basis for outstanding achievement and appropriate recognition for that achievement. The Honors College offers small classes with greater opportunities for student participation, increased student-faculty contact, greater individual attention, lively discussions of important issues, special interdisciplinary seminars, community service opportunities, and supervised research experiences, all designed to challenge talented students.

Before picking up their No. 2 pencils, students fueled up on muffins, juice, cereal and hash browns. Providing breakfast was part of the district's strategy to prepare students for the tests that measure basic academic standards for students in third, fifth, eighth and 11th grades and help determine a school's standing in specific criteria. Many parents received memos about the test, emphasizing its importance. Parents of Alverton Elementary School students in the Southmoreland School District were advised that their children should get plenty of rest, eat well, attend school and take the tests seriously.

Extractions: The achievement gap that separates low-income and minority youngsters from other young Americans is widening again, says Education Trust president Kati Haycock, and "if we don't get the numbers out on the table and talk about them, we're never going to close the gap once and for all." But in this article in Educational Leadership (March 2001), Haycock worries "about how many people head into discussions without accurate data. And I worry even more about how many education leaders have antiquated-and downright wrong-notions about the whys beneath the achievement gap." "Imagine," says this article in Principal Leadership (January 2001), that "teachers in your school receive a report on their students three times a year, an analysis of each student's reading, writing, and math skills." What's more, the school-developed assessments "would be scored against rubrics the staff has written using state standards and the school's expectations for good work. The result: reliable, comparable, timely assessment data that can really improve instruction tomorrow in their classrooms and across the school." Incorporating a standards-based approach to teaching and learning can be a creative and enriching endeavor. What's one key approach? Ask students to assess their own work. This article at ASCD's Classroom On-Line newsletter describes a high school self-assessment project that may inspire middle grades educators as well.

Extractions: If you are a teacher struggling to make grammar interesting and relevant to your students, while also trying to follow an established curriculum (and not work yourself to death in the process) do not hesitate to buy this book! I am a first-year teacher struggling to find a compromise between how I have to teach and how I know I should be teachingand this book is it! While it appears to be simply a book full of grammar worksheets ('yippie' shouts the administration), it really is a back door to teaching grammar in the context of writing ('woo hoo' exclaims the English teacher). Each exercise is intended to teach concrete grammar rules and skills as well as to apply these new skills to the writing process. It is a collection of the excellent, creative kinds of activities I would come up with myselfif only I had the time! Money well spent!
