Book excerpt: Intended for special educators, the book is designed to provide information for assessing classroom needs, making decisions about purchasing software and hardware, and using the microcomputer effectively. Each chapter begins with statements to think about and a list of sources. At the end of each chapter are questions and exercises designed to aid the reader in understanding chapter information. Six chapters cover the following topics (sample subtopics are in parentheses): introduction to the microcomputer (microcomputer languages); software considerations and evaluation (external and internal evaluation of software); hardware considerations and inservice education (peripherals); media selection and microcomputer uses (administrative uses); microcomputer uses in special education; and elementary programing for the microcomputer (program development support).

Download or read book Analyzing the Correlation Between Data Usage and Student Performance on the Missouri Assessment Program written by Melissa A. Cooper and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School districts are charged with the task of improving standardized test scores and closing the gaps between specific groups of students. Numerous programs, school improvement strategies, changes in instruction and leadership have been implemented to close the gap. Data are becoming more abundant at the state, district, and school levels. Many districts track student test scores year-to-year to plan interventions for students who are lagging behind in efforts to meet state standards in reading and mathematics. As school districts collect more data to meet the NCLB law, they have become valuable players in efforts to use data to drive instructional decisions. The purpose of the study is to examine the level of data usage (high and low) of the public elementary schools in Southeast Missouri (16 counties) and to examine the correlation with student MAP performance in Communication Arts and Math. The rationale is that public elementary schools, which have participated in high level data usage in this sample would demonstrate high student performance on the MAP test. The study will observe whether or not this is true in the six high data usage and six low data usage schools selected based on survey results. The data usage rates were correlated to the 2010-2011 MAP Advanced/Proficient Score in Math and Communication Arts. The findings for the original two research questions demonstrated there was no significant relationship between the data usage of elementary school personnel and the Communication Arts MAP nor was there a significant relationship between the data usage of elementary school personnel and the Math MAP Advanced/Proficient score. The mean scores between high and low data usage schools only showed a mean difference of less than one. The respondent scores demonstrated the principal scored higher in all four subset categories over all other respondent groups. The difference between principal means and classroom teacher was less than one in all subsets except Implementation. As the need for increased test scores continues through the NCLB initiatives, school districts will continue to find the best practices necessary to boost teacher effectiveness and student performance. Continued research is needed in Southeast Missouri to identify the forms of data analysis that are informing best practices in high performing schools.

Book excerpt: In this 2nd edition of Focus: Elevating the Essentials to Radically Improve Student Learning, Mike Schmoker extends and updates the case that our schools could be on the cusp of swift, unparalleled improvements. But we are stymied by a systemwide failure to simplify and prioritize; we have yet to focus our limited time and energy on the most essential, widely acknowledged, evidence-based practices that could have more impact than all other initiatives combined. They are: simple, coherent curricula; straightforward, traditional literacy practices; and lessons built around just a few hugely effective elements of good teaching. As Schmoker demonstrates, the case for these practices—and the need for them—has grown prodigiously. In every chapter, you’ll find late-breaking discoveries and practical advice on how to simplify the implementation of new state standards in the subject areas; on the hidden pitfalls of our most popular, but unproven instructional fads and programs; and on simple, versatile strategies for building curriculum, planning lessons, and integrating literacy into every discipline. All of these strategies and findings are supported with exciting new evidence from actual schools. Their success confirms, as Michael Fullan writes, that a focus on the best "high-leverage practices" won’t only improve student performance; they will produce "stunningly powerful consequences" in our schools.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) communicated a plan to replace five Standards of Learning (SOL) assessments with alternative assessments based on legislation passed by the Virginia General Assembly (VDOE, 2014b, p. 1). School districts were able to choose the type of alternative assessment to implement, yet they were encouraged to use authentic performance assessments and a portfolio approach. One suburban school district in central Virginia chose a portfolio approach as the alternative assessment. Drawing upon the transdisciplinary approach of program evaluation (Mertens & Wilson, 2012), this study examined the quality of teacher-selected performance-based assessments implemented with students as one artifact within a collection of assessments available in the portfolio in two middle school social studies courses. The Virginia Quality Criteria Review Tool for Performance Assessments was employed as the instrument to examine the assessments for quality. The aim of this study was to strengthen the practice of consistently implementing quality performance assessments with students by answering the evaluation questions: To what degree do performance assessments used as local alternative assessments to Virginia Standards of Learning tests for accountability meet the state's criteria for quality? How are performance-based assessments being implemented in United States History to 1865 (USI) and United States History 1865 to the Present (USII) courses in PCPS? What are USI and USII teachers' perspectives on the merit and worth of the performance assessment process in PCPS? What are USI and USII teachers' recommendations for developing and using quality performance assessments in PCPS moving forward?
