Measuring Student Progress: How Do You Develop Reliable Assessments? - 0 views

  •  
    Assessment Guru Grant Wiggins on Measuring Student Progress. All the talk about changing the way we measure student progress raises important questions. What do we mean by assessment - as opposed to grading? How do you design reliable assessments? Should you "teach to" standardized tests? How can you evaluate an individual performance on a cooperative project? And how do we explain it all to parents? To get answers, Instructor senior editor Meg Bozzone interviewed assessment expert Grant Wiggins, president of the nonprofit Center on Learning Assessment and School Structure (CLASS).

Putting comprehensive staff development on target - 0 views

  • Many professional development efforts are organized as a smorgasbord of courses offered to educators. The district measures the effort's effectiveness by how many courses staff complete or how satisfied teachers are with the classes offered. District leaders who use the smorgasbord approach may view professional development as an extra that potentially helps an individual's performance but is not absolutely essential. They probably invest little in professional development planning because they don't expect great results.
  • Other district leaders recognize how much professional learning contributes to the district's learning goals for students, and so they align individual, team, school, and system learning plans. At each level, participants consider what outcomes they want for students, the knowledge and skills teachers need, and the professional learning that will help staff achieve the system goals. To be results-driven means following Stephen Covey's advice (1989): "Begin with the end in mind." Once student outcomes are selected, professional development leaders identify the knowledge and skills adults need to help students achieve the district's standards of success. The knowledge and skills linked to the student learning goals become part of the comprehensive professional development curriculum
  • In too many schools, staff development is limited to teachers attending workshops, courses, and conferences. School districts can no longer afford staff development efforts that are predominately "adult pull-out programs." That kind of learning alone will not produce high-level results. Schools will achieve high levels of performance when professional learning is embedded in every school day.
  •  
    Professional development planning focuses attention on how the system as a whole and individuals must change to achieve the district's goals. Rather than being outlined in its own plan, comprehensive professional development becomes a compilation of plans, each supporting different district and/or school priorities. These individual plans are most effective when they attend to what we know about effective professional learning and ensure that staff development is results-driven, standards-based, and focused on educators' daily work.

Case Study: Using Data Mining to Analyze Student Behavior - 0 views

  •  
    A Louisiana district scours a year's worth of discipline reports for patterns. It occurred to Bowman that analyzing the reports could provide insight into the root causes of disciplinary problems--tardiness, dress code violations, fighting, vandalism, and more--as well as the effectiveness of how the schools deal with them, and how fairly discipline is enforced. The reports generally contain structured data, including demographic information such as the student's grade and age, and a written narrative that describes the infraction.

Nine Powerful Practices to Help Raise Student Achievement - 0 views

  •  
    Nine strategies help raise the achievement of students living in poverty. Students from families with little formal education often learn rules about how to speak, behave, and acquire knowledge that conflict with how learning happens in school. They also often come to school with less background knowledge and fewer family supports. Formal schooling, therefore, may present challenges to students living in poverty. Teachers need to recognize these challenges and help students overcome them. In my work consulting with schools that serve a large population of students living in poverty, I have found nine interventions particularly helpful in raising achievement for low-income students.

Looking Back, Looking Forward / A Focus on Assessment - 1 views

  •  
    During the last 65 years, ASCD publications have charted the education profession's perennial quest to design and use assessments wisely. ASCD and its members have consistently urged clarity about the purposes of evaluation and advocated the use of assessments that are appropriate for their specific purposes. A thread that runs through six decades of writing about assessment is the belief that assessments should answer two questions: How are we doing? How can we do it better?

Closing the Achievement Gap: How Schools are Making It Happen - 0 views

  •  
    One of the most vexing problems in American education is the achievement gap. Schools and districts are tackling the problem in different ways and seeing results. The first step in dealing with the achievement gap is acknowledging that the problem exists. Yet not all districts break down student performance data to show how various racial and ethnic groups perform.

How are Educators Using Data? [MCREL Report] - 0 views

  •  
    A Comparative Analysis of Superintendent, Principal, and Teachers' Perceptions of Accountability Systems. The purpose of this technical report is to develop a better understanding of the assessment and accountability practices and policies that educators are implementing in the classrooms, schools, and districts and to examine whether those policies are associated with perceived school and student improvements in achievement.\n\nThe study provides descriptive information about the need for schools and districts to effectively use data, how schools and districts use data to guide classroom practice, and the difference in data use based on the level of student proficiency in individual schools.

Data building better teachers - 0 views

  • The popular term for what's going on in the Richmond School District and other school systems throughout the region is data-driven decision making. How that plays out varies from school district to school district, from weekly meetings and annual data retreats to regular standardized assessments of student performance. What it means is educators are getting more scientific in how they approach teaching and learning in today's schools.
  • Use of the data for instruction is still in its infancy, according to Laura Maly, a math instructional coach who works with teachers at Bradley Tech and Pulaski high schools on applying the benchmark assessments to their classroom work. But she's optimistic that the more teachers learn about what information is available to them on their students, the greater impact it will have.
  • One of the main obstacles that schools say they face in taking advantage of the plethora of information available to them in the technological age is finding time for teachers to study their students' academic performance on objective measures and plan ways to address any shortcomings. In the Oconomowoc School District, each school has held a "data day" for staff before the start of school for the last four years. The Wauwatosa School District is experimenting in several schools with having teachers gather to figure out how to take information from the MAP test and apply it in their classrooms.

    Districts use new methods to learn what works best for kids
    No longer is it viewed as acceptable for teachers to deliver lectures, administer grades and expect their students to simply try harder. Teachers are increasingly being asked to use assessments and collect data on student learning to gauge whether their methods are succeeding and what more needs to be done.

Taking data to new depths [Nancy Love] - 0 views

  • While collaborative inquiry is appropriate for any content area, it is particularly relevant for mathematics and science because the process mirrors for the adults what students experience in our best mathematics and science classrooms. Data teams investigate not scientific phenomena or mathematics problems, but how to improve teaching and learning. They raise questions, examine student learning and other data, test their hypotheses, and share findings with their colleagues.
  • Typically, one or two teachers, one administrator, and one NSF project staff member become data facilitators for a school. They then convene school-based data teams to focus on improving mathematics and science. Sometimes team members are from the mathematics or science department or are existing grade-level teams. Other times, the team is schoolwide.
  • If data facilitators have only one source of data on student learning, they collect additional data such as local assessments or common grade-level and course assessments for the next data facilitator session. The process emphasizes triangulating data, using three different sources of student learning data before identifying the student learning problem. By triangulating, data facilitators guide data teams to test hunches with other data instead of drawing conclusions from a single measure.

  • In their data facilitator workshops, data facilitators use the "go visual" principle, first developed by nonverbal communications expert Michael Grinder (1997). Grinder revealed the power of large, visually vibrant and color-coded displays of data in fostering group ownership and engagement. Data facilitators work with the team on one data report at a time to avoid overload and confusion. For each report, they create a colorful newsprint-sized graph displaying the results and post it on their "data wall." Then they record their observations and inferences on additional pieces of newsprint that they post under their chart. As they work with additional data, they add more graphs and more observations and inferences to their data wall.
