Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report on science and mathematics indicators is intended to assist state, national, and local policymakers and educators in making informed decisions. This report focuses on science and mathematics indicators at state and national levels. The indicators are intended for use by policymakers and educators to assess progress in improving mathematics and science education in the schools. The 1997 report presents new state indicators from the 1995-96 school year and examines trends by state from 1990 to 1996 on indicators of student achievement, content and instruction, and context and conditions for teaching. Indicators were selected through consultation with state education leaders, science and mathematics educators, representatives of national professional organizations, and education researchers.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to reform and restructure science and mathematics education should be based on a sound assessment of current conditions, the rate of improvement, and problems in the system. This report focuses on indicators of the condition of science and mathematics education at state and national levels. The 1999 report presents new state indicators from the 1997-98 school year and examines trends, by state, from 1990 to 1998 on indicators of student achievement, content and instruction, and context and conditions for teaching. Among the student achievement indicators, the study found that proficiency on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) in mathematics had a significant improvement: the percentage of grade 8 students scoring at or above the proficient level was 23% at the national level, and 27% of students were at or above the proficient level in science at grade 8. Among the findings in the area of content and instruction, the study found that seven states had over three-fourths of high school students take three years of high school mathematics in 1998. The number of mathematics and science teachers rose in the 1990s in the area of teacher preparation and supply. In the area of conditions and context for teaching, it was found that in 35% of grade 4 classrooms, one computer is available for mathematics instruction, 29% have two or more computers available, and only 6% have no computers available. Appendices provide more detailed data and information by state. (Contains 72 references.) (ASK)

Download or read book State Education Indicators with a Focus on Title I 1999 written by Rolf K. Blank and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report provides important state-by-state information on the characteristics and performance of schools and students in each state, information that is vital to monitoring the progress and evaluating the success of local, state, and national education reforms. The report disaggregates student achievement data so that attention can be focused not only on the average student, but on students in high poverty schools, migrant students, and students with limited English proficiency. Indicators in each state profile are organized into these categories: (1) school and teacher demographics; (2) student demographics; (3) statewide accountability information; and (4) student achievement. Information is also provided for Title I programs in each state. Statewide totals for numbers of students in public elementary and secondary schools are reported for 2 years, the most recent year for which data are available and the baseline year closest to 1990 for which there are data. Indicators are reported for each state, the District of Columbia, and the entire United States. Appendixes contain state proficiency level definitions, state rankings for various indicators, and information on the National Assessment of Educational Progress. (SLD)

Download or read book Kill the Messenger written by Richard Phelps and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-04 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to public demand, federal legislation now requires testing of most students in the United States in reading and mathematics in grades three through eight. Many educators, parents, and policymakers who have paid little attention to testing policy issues in the past need to have better information on the topic than has generally been available. Kill the Messenger, now in paperback, fills this gap.This is perhaps the most thorough and authoritative work in defense of educational testing ever written. Phelps points out that much research conducted by education insiders on the topic is based on ideological preference or profound self-interest. It is not surprising that they arrive at emphatically anti-testing conclusions. Much, if not most, of this hostile research is passed on to the public by journalists as if it were neutral, objective, and independent. Kill the Messenger explains and refutes many of the common criticisms of testing; describes testing opponents' strategies, through case studies of Texas and the SAT; illustrates the profound media bias against testing; acknowledges testing's limitations, and suggests how it can be improved; and finally, outlines the consequences of losing the ""war on standardized testing.
