pisa international testing trend american education math contradictions

  • Perhaps whatever in an education system or culture that boosts math scores leads to less positive attitude and lower confidence at the same time.
  • According to historical data, American education has always been bad and actually improving over the years.
  • the First International Science Study (FISS)[4] was conducted, U.S. students ranked bottom in virtually all categories:
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • In the 1980s, when the Second International Mathematics Study (SIMS) and Second International Science Study (SISS)[5] were conducted, U.S. students inched up a little bit, but not much
  • In the 1990s, in the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS)[6], American test performance was not the best but again improved:
  • In 2003, in TIMSS[7] (now changed into Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study), U.S. students were not great, but again improved:
  • Over the half century, American students performance in international math and science tests has improved from the bottom to above international average. The following figure shows the upward trend of American students’ performance in math
  • There are other studies and statistics, but this long list should be sufficient to prove that American students have been awful test takers for over half a century. Some has taken this mean American education has been awful in comparison to others.

paradigm shift teacher evaluations professional development

shared by Courtney Jablonski on 11 Feb 11 - No Cached
  • The teachers’ goal was to devise recommendations based on teachers’ own experience for what measures districts should consider when evaluating teachers, and how heavily each of those measures should be weighted.
  • focused on breaking down “the culture of ‘closed doors’”
  • Under the state’s teacher evaluation deal passed last May, teachers will be given a score on a new 100-point scale, with 40 of those points determined by student achievement data.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • The remaining 60 points will be determined through “local assessments,” which will take forms that must be negotiated by school districts and their local unions. The law leaves open what those assessments could look like. Newly-developed tests or portfolio demonstrations of student work are two ideas that state officials have mentioned as possibilities.
  • One aspect of the local assessments is clear: they all must meet new regulations that are currently being developed by a state task force led by Deputy Education Commissioner John King.
  • The group ended up recommending that the 60 points be spread across five different evaluation measures, giving the most weight to observations by school administrators and other teachers in the school. A sixth measure — student portfolio work — was considered but abandoned, because the increase in paperwork for teachers seemed too high for the value the portfolios would provide for the evaluations, Anderson said.

    If you were to design the new teacher evaluation system, what would you include? What opportunities would you want this evaluation system to bring to light?
