This book was released on 2007 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CBM has emerged in recent decades as a technically adequate, feasible, and instructionally useful academic progress monitoring tool. Recent research has investigated the relationship between CBM and high stakes tests within the same year as well as a year or more later, however, most studies have focused on reading and largely the data has been collected within the same academic year. In the last two years studies have examined the long term relationship between CBM and high stakes tests but again, these studies have focused on reading exclusively. This study examined the relationship between CBM in reading, math computation, and math concepts and applications and the high stakes test in Pennsylvania (PSSA) as well as the Terra Nova. Students in grades 1 through 4 from a medium sized mixed urban/suburban school district were included. Evaluation of CBM scores obtained at fall, winter, and spring as well as the rate of growth as they relate to the PSSA and Terra Nova one and two years later were examined. Results indicated that reading and math CBM benchmark data was significantly and moderately correlated with high stakes test performance both one and two years later. In the early grades, growth in reading was significantly and moderately related to high stakes test performance with the relationship decreasing with advancing grades. Math computation growth was also related to high stakes test performance. CBM provided adequate levels of accuracy for screening to high stakes test performance both one and two years later. This study reinforced the strength of CBM to serve as a measure for screening academic skills and as a valid predictor of student performance on high stakes tests several years later and adds to the literature by examining the relationship between math CBM and high stakes tests as well as examining growth rates. Outcomes of the study also strongly suggested the importance of early intervention and progress monitoring with students who are at-risk for developing academic problems in reading and math.

Download or read book Advancing Human Assessment written by Randy E. Bennett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book describes the extensive contributions made toward the advancement of human assessment by scientists from one of the world’s leading research institutions, Educational Testing Service. The book’s four major sections detail research and development in measurement and statistics, education policy analysis and evaluation, scientific psychology, and validity. Many of the developments presented have become de-facto standards in educational and psychological measurement, including in item response theory (IRT), linking and equating, differential item functioning (DIF), and educational surveys like the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the Programme of international Student Assessment (PISA), the Progress of International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) and the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). In addition to its comprehensive coverage of contributions to the theory and methodology of educational and psychological measurement and statistics, the book gives significant attention to ETS work in cognitive, personality, developmental, and social psychology, and to education policy analysis and program evaluation. The chapter authors are long-standing experts who provide broad coverage and thoughtful insights that build upon decades of experience in research and best practices for measurement, evaluation, scientific psychology, and education policy analysis. Opening with a chapter on the genesis of ETS and closing with a synthesis of the enormously diverse set of contributions made over its 70-year history, the book is a useful resource for all interested in the improvement of human assessment.

Download or read book The Comprehension Toolkit written by Stephanie Harvey and published by Heinemann Educational Books. This book was released on 2005 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Grades 3-6 "Active literacy is the means to deeper understanding and diverse, flexible thinking, and is the hallmark of our approach to teaching and learning. Reading, writing, talking, listening, and investigating are the cornerstones of active literacy. The Toolkit captures the language of thinking we use to explicitly teach kids to comprehend the wide variety of informational text they encounter. Through the Toolkit lessons, we demonstrate how the kids adopt and adapt our teaching language as their learning language." - Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis In The Comprehension Toolkit, Stephanie Harvey and Anne Goudvis have created an intensive curricular resource designed to help students understand, respond to, and learn from nonfiction text. By actively engaging students in reading, talking, and writing about information and ideas, The Comprehension Toolkit provides a foundation for developing independent readers and learners across the curriculum and throughout the school year. Framed around the Gradual Release of Responsibility approach, The Comprehension Toolkit provides scaffolded comprehension strategy instruction. First through modeling and guided practice, then releasing responsibility to students through collaborative practice, independent practice, and application, the Toolkit's lessons teach students to use comprehension strategies flexibly in a variety of texts, topics, and subject areas. Professional Support A series of resources introduce, support, and extend the Toolkit's core lessons. The Teacher's Guide outlines the thinking behind the Toolkit and describes its components, instructional design, and assessment options. The Resources for The Comprehension Toolkit CD-ROM provides an array of print and video resources including a photographic overview of an Active Literacy Classroom, downloadable research articles, templates, assessment masters, and full-colour lesson text. Extend and Investigate helps you extend the Toolkit's comprehension strategies across the curriculum and throughout the year. It provides strategies for content area reading and research, textbook reading, test reading, and a variety of practical bibliographies. 6 Strategy Clusters The 26 strategy lessons in The Comprehension Toolkit are organized into six Strategy Cluster books. Informational Text A series of short, engaging, real-world informational texts provide an effective context for using and practising the Toolkit's comprehension strategies. The Source Book of Short Text provides two kinds of nonfiction text: Lesson Text, 24 articles from children's magazines; and Nonfiction Short Text, 43 short informational articles specially written for the Toolkit.
