This book was released on 1995 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Canada today there is a clear move toward a more outcomes-based education system. This report examines the state of high school student assessment and reviews standards and accountability strategies. It reports on the policies, programs, and initiatives in all provincial ministries or departments of education and a sample of school boards across the country. Data were derived from a telephone survey of departmental/ministerial representatives from all 10 provinces and the 2 territories and from a questionnaire that was mailed to 279 school boards. A total of 140 boards responded, a 50 percent response rate. Data show that both boards and ministries are putting more emphasis on the development of comprehensive policies to cover all aspects of student evaluation. There is some movement away from relying on paper-and-pencil testing as the sole means of evaluation; the use of more authentic, performance-based approaches and a greater variety of assessment techniques are being promoted. Some of the best practices in high school evaluation involve use of a broad range of assessment methods; introduction of or improvements to provincial examinations; greater use of summative and formative evaluations; greater emphasis on modifying evaluation for special-needs students; use of performance-based assessment; and more reporting to parents and the public. Thirteen tables are included. Appendices contain copies of the two questionnaires and selected school board material. (Contains 19 references.) (LMI)

This book was released on 1988 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to evaluate retention efforts in Ontario (Canada) secondary schools in order to develop policy and support initiatives designed to reduce dropouts and improve retention rates. The study had four parts: (1) an analysis of credit accumulation for four cohorts and academic achievement patterns over 4 years in 16 schools; (2) an examination of eight exemplary programs aimed at students who take mainly general-level courses; (3) an examination of eight exemplary programs for students taking basic-level courses; and (4) an analysis of the extent to which part-time work influences school leaving. The part-time work survey was administered in 13 schools to 4,620 students in grades 11 and above, and the telephone interview was conducted with 610 dropouts from 22 schools. The main findings support the following conclusions: (1) The vast majority of dropouts were taking mainly general-level courses at the time of leaving school, and the students who took mainly basic-level courses were at a particularly high risk of dropping out. (2) The vast majority of dropouts left school because they were so far behind in credit accumulation that the likelihood of graduation was too remote. (3) The fact that students were working more than 20 hours per week had an adverse effect on achievement. (4) There is little evidence that part-time work contributes to the decision of students to leave school early. (5) There is little evidence of a decrease in dropouts occurring because of more relevant programming. (6) There is some evidence that student evaluation emphasizing attendance and work habits contributes to an increase in school retention. (Author/JAM)
