Download or read book Advancing Human Assessment written by Randy E. Bennett and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 717 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access under a CC BY-NC 2.5 license. This book describes the extensive contributions made toward the advancement of human assessment by scientists from one of the world’s leading research institutions, Educational Testing Service. The book’s four major sections detail research and development in measurement and statistics, education policy analysis and evaluation, scientific psychology, and validity. Many of the developments presented have become de-facto standards in educational and psychological measurement, including in item response theory (IRT), linking and equating, differential item functioning (DIF), and educational surveys like the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), the Programme of international Student Assessment (PISA), the Progress of International Reading Literacy Study (PIRLS) and the Trends in Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). In addition to its comprehensive coverage of contributions to the theory and methodology of educational and psychological measurement and statistics, the book gives significant attention to ETS work in cognitive, personality, developmental, and social psychology, and to education policy analysis and program evaluation. The chapter authors are long-standing experts who provide broad coverage and thoughtful insights that build upon decades of experience in research and best practices for measurement, evaluation, scientific psychology, and education policy analysis. Opening with a chapter on the genesis of ETS and closing with a synthesis of the enormously diverse set of contributions made over its 70-year history, the book is a useful resource for all interested in the improvement of human assessment.

Book excerpt: This publication updates information from prior surveys of the 50 states and the District of Columbia in the areas of: (1) standards (authorize measures of quality or competency that affect the teaching profession); (2) standards boards (any official state entity that may recommend or establish standards for program approval and for the issuance of licenses); (3) minority teacher recruitment (state-sponsored studies, proposals, legislation, or programs that address the problem of a decline in the number of minorities entering the teaching profession); (4) clinical/field experiences (student teaching or a similar activity); and (5) requirements for entry into and exit from teacher preparation programs. Regular and alternative preparation for licensure is described and options are organized into three categories: requirements for a regular license (those state standards that must be met to earn an initial or advanced teaching credential); emergency or shortage-driven credentials (the process by which a person who does not meet requirements for a regular license may be hired to fill a classroom vacancy when there is a shortage of qualified personnel); and nonshortage-driven alternative preparation for licensure (information on routes to be taken by nontraditional students that provide accelerated preparation for teaching).

This book was released on 2006-06-01 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the expectations toward the science standards of various stakeholders including students, parents, teachers, administrators, higher education science and science education faculty members, politicians, governmental and professional agencies, and the business community. This book also investigates how the science standards have been translated into practice at the K-12 school district level, addressing issues around professional development, curriculum, assessment/evaluation, and accountability. The fundamental questions to be addressed are: (1) What is the response in terms of trends and patterns, of the educational system to the introduction of the national and state science standards since the late 1980’s? and (2) What is the impact of the introduction of the science standards on teachers, classrooms, and students?

Download or read book State Teacher Policy Yearbook written by National Council on Teacher Quality and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "State Teacher Policy Yearbook" examines what is arguably the single most powerful authority over the teaching profession: state government. This Texas edition of the National Council on Teacher Quality's (NCTQ's) "State Teacher Policy Yearbook" is the first of what will be an annual look at the status of state policies impacting the teaching profession. It is hoped that this report will help focus attention on areas where state policymakers could make improvements to benefit both students and teachers. This policy evaluation is broken down into six areas that include a total of 27 goals. Broadly, these goals examine the impact of state policy on the preparation, certification, licensure, compensation and effectiveness of teachers across the elementary, secondary and special education spectra. Texas' progress toward meeting these goals is summarized. Overall, Texas has done a good job in meeting some of NCTQ's goals, but there is still room for improvement in several areas. Texas completely missed four goals, met a small portion of nine, partially met four, nearly met four and fully met six--including one best practice designation. Texas' best performance is in Area 2, "Teacher Licensure." The state has the most work to do in Area 4, "State Approval of Teacher Preparation Programs." Texas stands out for the clarity and specificity of its professional knowledge standards for teachers. They are among the best in the nation, and Texas earns a best practice designation for this policy. While Texas is commended for its wide usage of alternate routes to certification, its routes fall short because of low admissions standards, insufficient support for new teachers and excessive coursework requirements. The state should consider requiring preparation programs to administer a basic skills test as a criterion for admission and base its approval of programs on measures that focus on the quality of the teachers they produce. The body of the report provides a more detailed breakdown of the state's strengths and weaknesses in each area. Detailed rationale and "Food for Thought" for each area and corresponding goal are appended. (Contains 72 figures.) [Additional funding for this first edition of the "State Teacher Policy Yearbook" was provided by the Achelis Foundation, Bodman Foundation, Daniel's Fund, Fisher Family Foundation, Gleason Foundation, and The Teaching Commission.

Download or read book Teachers Versus the Public written by Paul E. Peterson and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2014 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive exploration of 21st Century school politics, Teachers versus the Public offers the first comparison of the education policy views of both teachers and the public as a whole, and reveals a deep, broad divide between the opinions held by citizens and those who teach in the public schools. Among the findings: - Divisions between teachers and the public are wider and deeper than differences between other groups often thought to contest school policy, such as Republicans and Democrats, the young and the old, the rich and the poor, or African Americans and whites. - The teacher-public gap is widest on such issues as merit pay, teacher tenure reform, impact of teacher unions, school vouchers, charter schools, and requirements to test students annually. - Public support for school vouchers for all students, charter schools, and parent trigger laws increases sharply when people are informed of the national ranking of student performance in their local school district. - Public willingness to give local schools high marks, its readiness to support higher spending levels, and its support for teacher unions all decline when the public learns the national ranking of their local schools. - On most issues, teacher opinion does not change in response to new information nearly as much as it does for the public as a whole. In fact, the gap between what teachers and the public think about school reform grows even wider when both teachers and the public are given more information about current school performance, current expenditure levels, and current teacher pay. The book provides the first experimental study of public and teacher opinion. Using a recently developed research strategy, the authors ask differently worded questions about the same topic to randomly chosen segments of representative groups of citizens. This approach allows them to identify the impact on public opinion of new information on issues such as student performance and school expenditures in each respondent's community. The changes in public opinion when citizens receive information about school performance are largest in districts that perform below the national average. Altogether, the results indicate that support for many school reforms would increase if common core state standards were established and implemented in such a way as to inform the public about the quality of their local schools. These and many other findings illuminate the distance between teacher opinions and those of the public at large. About the Research: In partnership with the Harvard Program on Education Policy and Governance and the journal, Education Next, authors Paul E. Peterson, Martin West and Michael Henderson surveyed nationally representative samples of teachers and the public as a whole annually between 2007 and 2013.

This book was released on 2019-07-19 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education policymakers often demonstrate surprisingly little awareness of how popular reforms impact teaching and teacher education. In this book, well-regarded scholars help readers develop a more robust understanding of the nature of teacher preparation, as well as an in-depth grasp of how popular policies, practices, and ideologies have taken root domestically and internationally. Contributors include Deron Boyles, Anthony Cody, Kerry Kretchmar, Carmen Montecinos, Beth Sondel, and Christopher Tienken. “This book will help readers consider the possibilities of democratic visions in the teaching profession and in public education, particularly in this time of intense political polarization when critical citizen engagement with our public institutions and policies is deeply needed.” —Janelle Scott, University of California, Berkeley “The chapters in this book make clear that ongoing policy disconnects cannot be ignored and that now is the time to elevate the teaching profession for students who have faced historical inequities.” —Julian Vasquez Heilig, dean, University of Kentucky College of Education “Public teaching and teacher education in the U.S. and in many other parts of the world are under assault by concerted efforts to deregulate and marketize them. This collection of essays examines the consequences of these privatization efforts in the U.S., Chile, and Singapore and should be required reading for those wanting to understand their complexity and consequences for teaching and teacher education today.” —Ken Zeichner, Boeing Professor of Teacher Education, University of Washington

Broadly, these goals examine the impact of state policy on the preparation, certification, licensure, compensation and effectiveness of teachers across the elementary, secondary and special education spectra. Maryland's progress toward meeting these goals is summarized on the following page. Overall, Maryland has done a good job in meeting some of our goals, but there is significant room for improvement in several areas. Maryland completely missed 11 goals, met a small portion of five, partially met seven, nearly met two and fully met two. Maryland's best performance is in Area 5, "Alternate Routes to Certification." The state has the most work to do in Area 4, "State Approval of Teacher Preparation Programs," and Area 6, "Preparation of Special Education Teachers." The state stands out for having a practical alternate route to certification with reasonable coursework requirements; however, the state should consider making its admissions standards for this route more flexible. In addition, the state should work to hold its teacher preparation programs more accountable for the quality of their preparation, and consider extending the minimum probationary period required for tenure from two to five years. Maryland should also do more to ensure that special education teacher candidates receive the training they need to become highly qualified. The board provides a breakdown of the state's strengths and weaknesses in each area. Detailed rationale and "Food for Thought" for each area and corresponding goal are appended.

The state's best performances are in Area 1, "Meeting NCLB Teacher Quality Objectives;" Area 2, "Teacher Licensure;" and Area 5, "Alternate Routes to Certification." The state has the most work to do in Area 6, "Preparation of Special Education Teachers." Washington stands out for having some strong policies regarding testing. The state requires teacher preparation programs to administer a basic skills test as a criterion for admission, and it requires that all teachers pass their licensing tests before they begin their second year of teaching. The state, however, does not adequately ensure that special education candidates will receive the coursework training necessary to prepare them for the elementary or secondary classroom.

This policy is recognized as a best practice model for other states. The state, however, still has work to do to improve its teacher preparation, including that of special education teachers. New York should do more to ensure that new teachers know the science of reading instruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This state-of-the-art Companion assembles and assesses the extant research available on teacher education and provides clear guidelines on future directions. It addresses an important need in a collection that will be of value for teachers, teacher educators, policymakers and politicians. There has been little sustained, long-term or systematic research to provide empirical support for the broad aspects of teacher education policy, largely because such research has been chronically underfunded and based on traditional practitioner knowledge. Many of the changes to teacher education are contentious and yet are occurring in rapid succession. These policies and movements have important consequences for education, teacher quality and the future of the teaching profession. At the same time, the policies and initiatives that support these changes seem to be based more on ideology, business interests and tradition than on research and empirical findings. The nature, quality and effectiveness of teacher preparation have increasingly become a central focus for education policy worldwide in a fiercely argued debate among governments, think-tanks, world policy agencies, education researchers and teacher organisations.
