This book was released on 2008 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Placement courses are offered at M-DCPS for students to acquire college credit or advanced college academic standing. A system has been developed in the past by the College Board to use the PSAT for 10th grade students to estimate their potential for AP Examination success. The same test has recently been applied in this district to 9th graders for the same purpose. In this paper we present an alternative, more reliable, prediction system using Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) scores that is appropriate for the prediction of AP Examination success for both 9th and 10 graders. The prediction system should also prove useful for academic counseling and placement purposes. AP Potential Expectancy Tables are attached. (Contains 2 tables.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Florida law requires that students achieve a passing score on the Grade 10 Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) to qualify for a standard high school diploma (Section 1008.22(3)(c)5, Florida Statutes). Students who were administered the Grade 10 FCAT for the first time during the 2002 administrations or later must earn a developmental score of 1926 (SSS passing score of 300) or higher in reading and 1889 (300) or higher for mathematics. Among students taking the 10th Grade FCAT for the first time in 2004, 53% did not achieve passing scores in reading, and 29% did not achieve passing scores in mathematics. Although students are granted many opportunities to retake the tests, any early identification of students in jeopardy of not passing the 10th Grade tests would be a welcome contribution to providing targeted academic remediation to the students most in need. This study addresses an approach to the early identification of students who may be at risk of scoring below the passing score of 300 on their 10th grade FCAT Reading and Mathematics Tests. The two prediction equations in this study each utilize a single predictor: the student's score on the 9th grade FCAT Reading and Mathematics Tests, respectively.
Book Synopsis Predicting FCAT Performance. Research Brief by : Terry Froman
Download or read book Predicting FCAT Performance. Research Brief written by Terry Froman and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student scores on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) tests are increasingly being used for administrative purposes. Promotion and placement decisions are largely governed by FCAT performance. Although efforts are made to make the FCAT scores available as soon as possible, for some purposes they are not on hand when needed. Additionally, as the importance of FCAT scores increases, it becomes more desirable to have some kind of early indication of how students are expected to score at each grade level, even before the tests are administered. In response to these growing needs for anticipation of FCAT scores, this paper presents a method for predicting FCAT scores based on the previous year's performance.

Download or read book Predicting FCAT Science Scores 2006-07. Research Brief written by Terry Froman and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 2 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although students have been taking the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) Science test for a few years, the State has only recently set the achievement-level standards for the Science test. Science will be included in the school grade calculations for the first time in 2006-07. In addition, although no official guidelines exist presently, the FCAT Science scores will also be incorporated in the Adequate Yearly Progress requirements in the near future. With the growing importance of the FCAT Science test, it becomes increasingly desirable to have some way of predicting the performance of students. In other FCAT testing areas, prediction formulas and cutoff scores for success have been developed by this office and made available to schools for several years. However, because the FCAT Science test is relatively new and because it is administered in only Grades 5, 8, and 11, prediction for this test must proceed along different lines. This paper presents the results of an analysis directed toward predicting students' Science scores based on their performance on the FCAT Mathematics test of the previous year.

Book excerpt: This Research Brief presents a method for predicting 10th grade Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) success from 6th grade FCAT performance. A simple equation provides the most probable single score prediction, and give-or-take error margins define high and low probability zones for expected 10th grade scores. In addition, a double-entry table provides estimates of the probability of success on both the Reading and Mathematics tests in 10th grade. The procedures are presented in an extended analogy to weather predictions.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concerns over fairness permeates every aspect of the testing enterprise, and one characterization of fairness in testing defined by the Standards (AERA, APA, and NCME, 1999) is a fairness as lack of bias. One important way to study bias in college admission context concerns the degree to which prediction equations are equivalent for different groups. To the extent that the AP variables are used together with admission test scores and previous academic records to predict future academic achievement, it is important to know if members of one group are systematically predicted to obtain lower or higher grades than they actually achieve on the average (Linn, 1990, p. 309). Many studies have investigated differential predictive validity for different groups using high school performance and admission test scores as predictors (Linn, 1990). To this day, minimal research attention has been directed toward differential predictive validity using Advanced Placement (AP) variables as predictors, although policy makers have begun to treat the AP experience as an additional important prerequisite for success in college (Breland et al., 2002). By examining the differential predictive ability of AP variables and controlling for predictor unreliability, we can better understand the extent to which these predictors are biased against particular groups. With this understanding, test users can be informed of the extent to which the inferences drawn from these variables are supported by strong validity evidence regarding fairness in admission. Against this backdrop, the current study examines whether AP exam scores predict the first year GPA and second year retention differently for different groups of ethnicity, gender, parental education level, and language group, controlling for high-school-level variables using hierarchical linear modeling.

Download or read book Success in Advanced Placement Courses. Research Brief written by Angela L. Hansen and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 5 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What factors affect student success in AP courses? The College Board's Advanced Placement Program (AP) is widely recognized as the premier program for advanced placement and credit by examination. Originally established in 1955 as an opportunity for a few elite groups of students to take on college level work, the AP program has expanded to include more than 700,000 students, more than one million exams administered yearly, in more than 13,000 schools. Research indicates that students completing AP courses were better prepared to take on college course work and were able to earn college credit when successful on the AP exams. In addition, teachers participating in AP professional development have been credited with greater content and pedagogical knowledge. Finally, Advanced Placement programs are credited with improving the overall curricula of the school by creating a need for more rigorous prerequisite courses. However, in spite of the many benefits of Advanced Placement programs, problems exist. This paper presents several key issues that were identified as concerns about teaching AP courses and offers recommendations for improving success in AP courses. (Contains 5 online resources.).

Book Synopsis The Relationship Between Middle School Cognitive Abilities Test and High School Advanced Placement Exam Scores by : Kathy Marie Daniel
Download or read book The Relationship Between Middle School Cognitive Abilities Test and High School Advanced Placement Exam Scores written by Kathy Marie Daniel and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advanced Placement (AP) is a College Board program that offers a college-level curriculum to high school students. AP has expanded dramatically in recent years, and with noted program benefits accruing to successful participants, the issue of equity has become a concern. When identified early, students who have potential to be successful in AP courses could obtain the preparation necessary to excel academically in courses that have an impact on college admissions and outcomes. The purpose of this correlational study was to determine if a relationship exists between 6th grade CogAT composite, verbal, and quantitative battery scores and 12th grade AP English Literature and 12th grade AP Calculus exam pass-fail scores. The setting for the study was a rural northeast Georgia school district. Utilizing archived data, a special kind of Pearson correlation, a point biserial correlation, and a logistics regression analysis were conducted. All null hypotheses were rejected indicating that a statistically significant positive relationship exists between 6th grade CogAT composite, verbal, and quantitative battery scores and 12th grade AP English Literature and 12th grade AP Calculus exam scores. Moreover, the relationship is a predictive one. Based on study results, more informed curriculum decisions could be made for students beginning in the middle school years. Recommendations for further study include consideration of additional variables that might influence AP exam success such as gender, socioeconomic factors, giftedness, and motivation.

Book excerpt: The Strategic Management of Charter Schools addresses the challenges facing such schools by mapping out, in straightforward and highly pragmatic terms, a management framework for them. The first charter school law in the United States was enacted in Minnesota in 1991. In the twenty years since that modest beginning, the movement has burgeoned and spread across the country: there are now more than five thousand charter schools attended by nearly two million students. Yet due to this rapid growth in the number of charter schools and to their generally independent character, the nature and quality of these institutions vary greatly. The promise of charter schools is great, but so are the organizational and educational challenges they face. Organized around three crucial challenges to charter school leaders--managing mission, managing internal operations, and managing the larger stakeholder environment--the book provides charter school leaders with indispensable tools and insights for achieving educational and organizational success. In its elucidation of these managerial challenges, and in its equally helpful and detailed examinations of particular schools, the book offers a clear, credible approach to the efficient and sustainable management of what are still young and experimental educational institutions.--Publisher description.
