Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive treatment of the subject of evaluation as applied to literacy programs, covering evaluation theory, planning, and practice.

In Part II, the interrelated processes of evaluation planning and management are discussed, and evaluation planning and management approaches are explained and demonstrated. Parts III, IV, and V focus on the three components of the evaluation management approach discussed in Part II: management information systems (MIS), naturalistic evaluation (NE), and rationalistic evaluation (RE). Chapters in these parts cover: (1) theory, questions, and design of an MIS, NE, or RE; (2) writing a proposal for an MIS or for an evaluation study in the naturalistic or rationalistic mode; (3) tools and techniques of the three approaches; and (4) writing periodical and special reports. Part VI discusses the politics of evaluation, the need to establish evaluation standards for meta-evaluations, and the related question of evaluators' training. A glossary is appended. (YLB)

Book Evaluating Literacy Instruction

Download or read book Evaluating Literacy Instruction written by Rachael E. Gabriel and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-19 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This must-read book for all literacy educators illuminates the intersection of research on literacy instruction and teacher evaluation. Since 2009, 46 states have changed or revised policies related to evaluating teachers and school leaders. In order for these new policies to be used to support and develop effective literacy instruction, resources are needed that connect the best of what is known about teaching literacy with current evaluation policies and support practices. A major contribution to meeting this need, the volume brings together a range of perspectives on tools, systems, and policies for the evaluation of teaching, organized into two sections: • Crafting Systems and Policies for Evaluating Literacy Instruction • Examples of Alternative Systems/Approaches for Evaluating Literacy Instruction Across the text, expert scholars in the field emphasize the need for literacy professionals to do more than merely apply generic observation instruments for teacher evaluation, but also to consider how these tools reflect professional values, how elements of effective literacy instruction can be unearthed or included within them, and how teacher evaluation systems and policies can be used to increase students’ opportunities to develop literacy.

Book A Process for the Evaluation of Learner Goals Reading Comprehension and Program Impact as Elements of Adult Literacy Programs

Download or read book A Process for the Evaluation of Learner Goals Reading Comprehension and Program Impact as Elements of Adult Literacy Programs written by R. Lance Haddon and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National statistics indicate that as many as 23 million adults in the United States are illiterate and another 40 million lack literacy skills necessary to function effectively or on more than a narrow basis in this society. People without literacy skills or who have only marginal reading ability find themselves politically disenfranchized, unable to effectively take control of their lives or challenge injustice, at times are physically endangered, and they represent a drain on the economy. This research was designed to provide adult literacy programs with a process which would make it possible to evaluate three critical elements of literacy programs: learner goals, reading comprehension, and the impact of literacy programs on learners as perceived by the students themselves. The study resulted in the following: 1) the development of an instrument to gather learner goals, 2) the identification of the Degrees of Reading Power (DRP) as the appropriate measure of reading comprehension, 3) the development of adult normative information using the DRP in statewide testing of Oregon adult literacy students, and 4) the identification and description of the Adult Education Follow-Up Survey developed at Rutgers University as the instrument for the determination of literacy program impact on participants. Implementation of the recommended process suggests a need for the following: 1) the use of a common form by all literacy programs for gathering demographic information and a second common form for determining learner goals, 3) continued statewide testing with the DRP including a preand posttest program, 4) performance of DRP readabilities on commonly used literacy materials and on "real life" materials, 5) the implementation of a regular statewide study of program impact on adult literacy students, 5) a study of the question of whether or not those most in need are attracted and served by adult literacy programs, and the development and maintenance of a statewide data base containing information on learner goals, reading comprehension, and program impact.

Book Improving Adult Literacy Instruction

Download or read book Improving Adult Literacy Instruction written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2012-04-26 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A high level of literacy in both print and digital media is required for negotiating most aspects of 21st-century life, including supporting a family, education, health, civic participation, and competitiveness in the global economy. Yet, more than 90 million U.S. adults lack adequate literacy. Furthermore, only 38 percent of U.S. 12th graders are at or above proficient in reading. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction synthesizes the research on literacy and learning to improve literacy instruction in the United States and to recommend a more systemic approach to research, practice, and policy. The book focuses on individuals ages 16 and older who are not in K-12 education. It identifies factors that affect literacy development in adolescence and adulthood in general, and examines their implications for strengthening literacy instruction for this population. It also discusses technologies for learning that can assist with multiple aspects of teaching, assessment,and accommodations for learning. There is inadequate knowledge about effective instructional practices and a need for better assessment and ongoing monitoring of adult students' proficiencies, weaknesses, instructional environments, and progress, which might guide instructional planning. Improving Adult Literacy Instruction recommends a program of research and innovation to validate, identify the boundaries of, and extend current knowledge to improve instruction for adults and adolescents outside school. The book is a valuable resource for curriculum developers, federal agencies such as the Department of Education, administrators, educators, and funding agencies.
