Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The California Assessment Program (CAP) administers tests to all public school students at certain grade levels, compiles the results, and provides information that allows educators to judge the effectiveness of their programs and make improvements. This sampler describes the types of assessment that CAP proposes to respond to the needed changes that reflect the recent curricular reforms in schools throughout California. The four types of assessment planned for CAP are: (1) open-ended problems; (2) enhanced multiple-choice questions; (3) investigations; and (4) portfolios. These modes of assessment are recommended for adaption for teachers of all grade levels and teachers are encouraged to use the examples in the booklet to enhance classroom instruction and to develop tasks for student assessment. After chapter 1 that describes the changes in assessment, the sampler is divided into six major parts: chapter 2, "Assessment of Mathematical Power"; chapter 3, "Types of Assessment"; chapter 4, "Performance Standards and Judging a Student's Work", chapter 5, "Implementation of Authentic Assessment in Your School," chapter 6, "Sample Problems." A "Participation and Feedback" page is given to ask participants' comments and suggestions about the sampler. (11 selected references) (MDH)

The second chapter examines bilingual program content by subject area, and describes how the requirements of the core curriculum interact with the special needs of the LEP student. Chapter 3 details one possible organizing scheme for large-scale bilingual programs, i.e., the transitional bilingual education program, and focuses on key questions in classroom-level planning. In the fourth chapter, essential elements for effective program support are discussed, including a staff of trained professionals who believe in and act on the assumption that every student can do well in school, and appropriate instructional materials, parental involvement, and periodic program evaluation. The final chapter reviews the key elements of program design and provides a checklist for planners. (MSE)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proper planning in the design of new school facilities saves time, money, and resources. The importance of planning increases when funds are scarce, as limited dollars must be put to their best use. A dialogue should be generated in the community and among members of the school planning committee regarding how schools should look. Many questions that must be considered in the construction of new schools and building remodeling are addressed as well as issues and alternatives each district can take into account with its own resources, situation, and philosophy. The first section looks at a hypothetical school containing design elements that are described and discussed in section 2. Section 3 outlines planning steps, specification determination, and planning for quality. Design examples of nine schools, a master plan checklist, and a listing of resources in providing planning assistance are included. (EJS)

Download or read book The California CBO written by Irma Guzmán Wagner and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes the results of a survey designed to provide descriptions of chief business officials (CBOs): their personal characteristics, their career paths, and their preparation. All chief business officials in California K-12 school districts and in offices of county superintendents of schools received questionnaires regarding the CBO position; 662 responses were returned. With regard to personal characteristics, the findings revealed that the CBO in California school districts is a white male, around 45 to 50 years of age, with an expected retirement date of 1998. His yearly salary is about $50,000, and the position he holds is classified rather than certificated. Thirty-seven percent had prior outside experience in business, the military, or civil service. The CBO depended upon personal contacts for advancement. In relation to career paths and preparation, most CBOs had a master's degree. They concurred that budget preparation was the principal skill needed. The CBOs expressed satisfaction with their jobs but were most concerned about the need for a balance between required tasks and allocated resources. Another concern was that the position be advanced in terms of professional understanding and recognition. (JAM)
