Extractions: Title of project: Assessment of Using New Technologies to Teach Statistics Presenter: Ileah McKee Student Researchers: Ileah McKee and Leann Hooge Faculty: Dr. Ginger Holmes Rowell Department of Mathematical Sciences Abstract: The ongoing goal of the project is to find and assess technologies related to the teaching and learning of statistical concepts in terms of determining which technologies are most effective. Effectiveness is rated by using certain standards including those of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the teaching purpose of the specific technologies. For the project, we are creating a rubric that will provide a standard with which to evaluate different websites that focus on learning statistical concepts and applications. The assessment tool might also be used on tools such as statistical software, statistical applets on the web, web-based tutorials, and other new technologies. Statistical methods will also be used to determine the effectiveness of these technological statistical teaching tools. These methods may include, but will not be limited to surveys, pretests and posttests of students using the materials.

Extractions: AAHE brings you "A Richer and More Coherent Set of Assessment Practices." This theme, distilled from Knowing What Students Know: The Science and Design of Educational Assessment (National Research Council 2001), encourages us to examine what we know about learning. It challenges us to examine the assumptions underlying teaching and the relationships among pedagogy, curricular and instructional design, expected learning outcomes, and the design of assessment methods.

Extractions: Could Someone with a Diagnosis of a Severe Mental Illness Work as a Teacher? All successful applicants for teacher training courses must pass a 'fitness to teach assessment' before they can be accepted on to a training course. This is likely to be a barrier for people with severe mental illness because of stigma and lack of awareness by the people doing the assessments. The first stage in the fitness to teach assessment is a written questionnaire that all applicants have to complete. This is sent to the medical officer of the college or university to which you have applied. The medical officer may then ask you to submit further information or to attend a medical examination. If your doctor or psychiatrist is asked for information you may ask to see their report and you may submit your own comments on it. Medical information you or any doctor gives in the assessment is confidential between you, the doctor(s) and the medical officer. Only information about your fitness to teach may be passed to other people. The medical information should not be passed to others unless you agree to it being passed on. The purpose of the 'fitness to teach assessment' is to check that you are fit to teach but also to identify any support needs you may have. Following the assessment you will be assigned to one of three categories:

Extractions: Trying to Teach: Interim Report of the Committee on Public Education and Professional Practice "Portfolios" of student work have long been used by some teachers to enhance learning and to aid in their assessment of students' work. What is new is a trend towards authorities mandating their use in schools and school systems. At present, there is a great deal of debate over such questions as what constitutes a "portfolio," how they should (or should not) be used, and who gets to decide their contents. There is a considerable amount of support for the use of portfolios, particularly in some elementary schools, often by those who favor a more "child-centred" approach to teaching. Some see them as a means to get at goals which are not easily reflected in achievement tests or other means of assessment (often in such areas as creativity, originality and higher levels of thinking skills such as synthesis and evaluation). But, while it is often seen as a desirable tool if used by individual teachers of their own volition, there is widespread resistance to the imposition of portfolio assessment as a mandated practice. The most common concern was "time":

Extractions: CONTACT William Fremouw , Department of Psychology, 304-293-3807 William Fremouw, a WVU psychology professor, will speak on The Ethical Management of High-Risk Clients from 1-4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 6, in 809 Allen Hall. Dr. Fremouw will discuss a risk assessment model and its application to psychiatric patients, suicidal patients and HIV-positive clients. The forum will explore the legal and ethical issues of confidentiality and protection from harm. "Clinical and counseling psychologists are challenged by the ethical problems presented by clients who present potential risk to themselves or to others," Fremouw said. "After distinguishing between danger and risk, the workshop will review the risk assessment issues and procedures developed through the MacArthur Foundation longitudinal study of psychiatric patients." Additionally, legal-ethical issues of confidentiality and protection from harm arising from legal cases will be discussed. Participants will learn how to apply risk assessment concepts to clinical cares and gain a better understanding of the legal-ethical issues involved when dealing with high-risk clients.

Extractions: ISSUE : Assessment of student achievement is changing, largely because today's students face a world that will demand new knowledge and abilities. In the global economy of the 21st century, students will need to understand the basics, but also to think critically , to analyze, and to make inferences. Helping students develop these skills will require changes in assessment at the school and classroom level, as well as new approaches to large-scale, high-stakes assessment. Linda Bond, director of assessment at NCREL, explains how the new skills needed in the 21st-century global economy have spurred the accountability/assessment movement in education.

Extractions: Search Functional assessment of effectiveness of amplification for children To optimise effectiveness of amplification for a hearing impaired child, hearing aids should be selected using a validated prescription and verified using real-ear measurements, and the efficacy of amplification should be evaluated in real life. The real-ear measurements performed by audiologists are useful for hearing aid verification, and can also be potentially very useful to teachers and parents. In turn, teachers and parents have many opportunities to observe a childs response to amplification in real life, and obtain information that is relevant and helpful for the audiologist to optimise the effectiveness of hearing aid amplification for a child. (A conference paper on this subject was presented in May 2001. Click here to view it.) The PEACH (Parents Evaluation of Aural/oral performance of Children) and TEACH (Teachers Evaluation of Aural/oral performance of Children) are questionnaires designed to record parents and teachers observations of childrens functional performance in a systematic way, so that the information collected can be useful for evaluation of amplification for children. In the PEACH, there are 15 probe areas. Under each probe area are examiners instructions that are to be administered in an interview. Questions marked by an asterisk, in black ink, are more suited to older children, those marked by a hash and in blue are for younger children, and those marked by a smiley face

Assessment

http://www.lgu.ac.uk/deliberations/assessment/

Extractions: Assessment plays an important part in the teaching-learning process at all levels of education. Since assessment plays such an important and significant part in the future of students there is no doubt that any assessment system will determine what students learn and the way in which they do this. Hence assessment will also determine the way in which we teach and what we teach. But assessment is not just about grading and examinations. It is also about getting to know our students and the quality of their learning and to use this knowledge and understanding to their benefit. Assessment is without doubt one of the major 'drivers' of the teaching-learning process. It is thus important for teaching staff to be familiar not only with the technical aspects of the many different forms of assessment currently in use but also with their advantages and limitations and about assessment issues and concerns.

Extractions: B y overwhelming majorities, the House and Senate passed the "No Child Left Behind" Act (NCLB) last December. On January 8, 2002, President Bush signed this bill into law, reauthorizing the longstanding Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). This comprehensive educational policy (1,180 pages) encompasses Title 1, the federal government's aid program for disadvantaged children. NCLB represents the biggest increase in federal government involvement (in both regulations and dollars) in K-12 education in several decades. This ambitious legislation includes provisions for everything from assessment to homeless students. NCLB places substantial pressure on states and local school districts to raise student achievement as measured by yearly test scores. Individual school populations as a whole, as well as different racial, ethnic, income, and disability subgroups within each, must meet "adequate yearly progress" (AYP) towards a proficient level of achievement to be reached within 12 years (2013-2014). Those schools and school districts that fail to make AYP after predetermined amounts of time are first subject to improvement measures, then to corrective and restructuring actions. Besides assessment and accountability, other key principles of NCLB include greater choice for parents and students, increased flexibility for states and school districts in the use of federal money, and an emphasis on teaching methods based on "scientific research," especially with regard to teaching young children to read (Reading First).
