This book presents lively activities that dovetail with standards and research-based stages of development to support students' steady growth of understanding of measurement. With individual chapters for kindergarten through grade 5, A Pleasure to Measure includes 65 classroom-ready activities on measurement, along with a summary of learning goals, connections to children's literature, and ideas for extending beyond the activities. In each chapter, the authors provide-- a collection of activities for a single level--kindergarten-grade 5; a summary of level-specific measurement goals and learning trajectory stages; and a table that matches activities with standards and learning stages. A Pleasure to Measure will enable you to select activities quickly, easily, and confidently to target the content that your students are ready to learn. You'll find everything that you need in the six E's that the authors detail for each activity--Essentials, Engage, Explore, Expect, Extend, and Enrich.

Download or read book Classroom Assessment and Educational Measurement written by Susan M. Brookhart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-04 with total page 567 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classroom Assessment and Educational Measurement explores the ways in which the theory and practice of both educational measurement and the assessment of student learning in classroom settings mutually inform one another. Chapters by assessment and measurement experts consider the nature of classroom assessment information, from student achievement to affective and socio-emotional attributes; how teachers interpret and work with assessment results; and emerging issues in assessment such as digital technologies and diversity/inclusion. This book uniquely considers the limitations of applying large-scale educational measurement theory to classroom assessment and the adaptations necessary to make this transfer useful. Researchers, graduate students, industry professionals, and policymakers will come away with an essential understanding of how the classroom assessment context is essential to broadening contemporary educational measurement perspectives.

Download or read book Getting Value Out of Value Added written by National Academy of Education and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2010-01-25 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Value-added methods refer to efforts to estimate the relative contributions of specific teachers, schools, or programs to student test performance. In recent years, these methods have attracted considerable attention because of their potential applicability for educational accountability, teacher pay-for-performance systems, school and teacher improvement, program evaluation, and research. Value-added methods involve complex statistical models applied to test data of varying quality. Accordingly, there are many technical challenges to ascertaining the degree to which the output of these models provides the desired estimates. Despite a substantial amount of research over the last decade and a half, overcoming these challenges has proven to be very difficult, and many questions remain unanswered-at a time when there is strong interest in implementing value-added models in a variety of settings. The National Research Council and the National Academy of Education held a workshop, summarized in this volume, to help identify areas of emerging consensus and areas of disagreement regarding appropriate uses of value-added methods, in an effort to provide research-based guidance to policy makers who are facing decisions about whether to proceed in this direction.
Download or read book Measuring Up written by Daniel Koretz and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-15 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do you judge the quality of a school, a district, a teacher, a student? By the test scores, of course. Yet for all the talk, what educational tests can and can’t tell you, and how scores can be misunderstood and misused, remains a mystery to most. The complexities of testing are routinely ignored, either because they are unrecognized, or because they may be—well, complicated. Inspired by a popular Harvard course for students without an extensive mathematics background, Measuring Up demystifies educational testing—from MCAS to SAT to WAIS, with all the alphabet soup in between. Bringing statistical terms down to earth, Daniel Koretz takes readers through the most fundamental issues that arise in educational testing and shows how they apply to some of the most controversial issues in education today, from high-stakes testing to special education. He walks readers through everyday examples to show what tests do well, what their limits are, how easily tests and scores can be oversold or misunderstood, and how they can be used sensibly to help discover how much kids have learned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory of educational measurement presented in this book has mainly to do with such things as the construction of tests and scales, the types of pupil preformances susceptible of measurement, the meanings of scores and norms, the validation of testing instruments, and the technique of the application. The material has been subjected to new organization, classification, definition, and critical interpretation. The result is a very intelligible treatment of questions that test makers and test users desire very much to understand.
