Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PerformanceTRACKER is a web-enabled database that delivers standards-based assessment data describing students' strengths and needs in order to assist teachers when targeting instruction. This study explored the concerns of teachers using PerformanceTRACKER as conceptualized by the Stages of Concern, one component of the Concerns-Based Adoption Model (CBAM). Two-hundred eighty-six teachers in 26 schools representing 14 school districts across Pennsylvania participated in the study. Significant differences were found across demographic variables describing the schools and demographic variables which characterized the teachers themselves. The implications for leadership and professional development that emerged are discussed.

Download or read book Proceedings of the 1993 Connectionist Models Summer School written by Michael C. Mozer and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The result of the 1993 Connectionist Models Summer School, the papers in this volume exemplify the tremendous breadth and depth of research underway in the field of neural networks. Although the slant of the summer school has always leaned toward cognitive science and artificial intelligence, the diverse scientific backgrounds and research interests of accepted students and invited faculty reflect the broad spectrum of areas contributing to neural networks, including artificial intelligence, cognitive science, computer science, engineering, mathematics, neuroscience, and physics. Providing an accurate picture of the state of the art in this fast-moving field, the proceedings of this intense two-week program of lectures, workshops, and informal discussions contains timely and high-quality work by the best and the brightest in the neural networks field.
Download or read book Value Added Estimates for Phase 1 of the Pennsylvania Teacher and Principal Evaluation Pilot Full Report written by Stephen Lipscomb and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania plans to develop a new statewide evaluation system for teachers and principals in its public schools by school year 2013-2014. To inform the development of this evaluation system, the Team Pennsylvania Foundation (Team PA) undertook the first phase of the Pennsylvania Teacher and Principal Evaluation Pilot--henceforth referred to as Phase 1--2010 and 2011 in collaboration with a broad stakeholder group that included leaders from the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE), the Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA), school districts, and the business community. The purpose of Phase 1 was to develop and implement a pilot set of performance measures to obtain lessons for improving the use of classroom observations and student data in evaluating teacher and principal performance. None of the results from Phase 1 had a bearing on actual evaluations or personnel decisions for any teacher or principal. This report presents findings for the second track of Phase 1. In this track, Mathematica Policy Research used student-level data to develop value-added models (VAMs) for estimating teacher and principal effectiveness. VAMs estimate the effects of educators on student achievement growth. VAMs belong to the class of models that are generally referred to as student growth models, but a VAM estimate is not a measure of student growth; rather, it is an estimate of an educator's or a school's "contribution" to student growth. VAMs can be appropriate for use in teacher or principal evaluations because they produce information about educator effectiveness. Other indicators like student proficiency rates and descriptive measures of student growth might be appropriate as targets for school accountability purposes, but they should not be viewed as indicating what a teacher or school has contributed to student learning. Appended are: (1) Technical Specifications of the VAMS; (2) Data Sources and Sample Characteristics; and (3) Technical Results from Value-Added Analyses. (Contains 34 tables, 9 figures and 52 footnotes.) [For the "Value-Added Estimates for Phase 1 of the Pennsylvania Teacher and Principal Evaluation Pilot. Executive Summary", see ED531803. This report was supported by the Team Pennsylvania Foundation.].
Download or read book Shared Prosperity in America s Communities written by Susan M. Wachter and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the nation's GDP has doubled in the last thirty years, significant increases in family income have been restricted to a small subset of the American population. This disjunct between national economic growth and stagnating incomes in all but the very top tier of the population corresponds with increasing economic inequality and a lack of social and economic mobility. As a consequence, neighborhoods and metropolitan areas have become more polarized. Stark geographic differences in levels of poverty, income, health outcomes, job opportunities, lifetime earning potential, and educational attainment highlight the degree to which place matters in terms of social and economic opportunity. Shared Prosperity in America's Communities examines this place-based disparity of opportunity and suggests what can be done to ensure that the benefits of economic growth are widely shared. Contributors' essays explore social and economic mobility throughout the country to illuminate the changing geography of inequality, offer a portfolio of strategies to address the challenges of place-based inequality, and show how communities across the nation are implementing change and building a future of shared prosperity. Approaching the problem from the vantage point of economics, sociology, and public policy, Shared Prosperity in America's Communities offers a timely analysis of the country's growing socioeconomic and geographic division and shows how communities can respond to the challenge of economic inequality to build a nation of opportunity for all.
