Improving Test Scores in Five Easy Steps - Gary W. Quinn - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

The chapters in this book outline a plan that, if followed, will improve test scores in any school district. The amount of improvement is determined by various variables, including present level of achievement, previous implementation of some of these concepts, the level of implementation, the vision from the top, and the focus on the plan. A school district must make a decision to create this plan and to make this plan their primary focus, if it is to be successful in improving test scores. If a school district does that, the resulting test scores will steadily increase.

Raising Test Scores Using Parent Involvement - William L. Callison - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Raising Test Scores Using Parent Involvement - William L. Callison - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

A critical dimension of effective schooling is parent involvement. Research has shown conclusively, that parent involvement at home improves student achievement. Furthermore, when parents are involved at school, children accomplish more and attend better schools. In this book, William Callison focuses on the role of parents in helping their children succeed in school. There is increasing evidence that parent involvement increases test scores. New research by Hoxby indicates that family factors are more than 11 times as influential as school factors in predicting student performance. Callison contends that there''s an excellent opportunity to make changes, based on experience, in many schools that are dealing with the need to set high standards and institute programs that will be successful. Special Features: Identifies programs and strategies that are working, Uses the PTA''s National Standards for Parent/Family Involvement Program as a guide. Callison also favors raising standards where high levels of assistance are provided to staff, not the testing approach where students may be retained in grade because of a single test score. In the programs that are seeking to help students improve their performance in a variety of assessments, how did they get parents involved in a meaningful way? The author answers this and many more pertinent questions. For PTA members, teachers, and administrators.

Thinking Beyond the Test - Daphne Johnson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Thinking Beyond the Test - Daphne Johnson - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

In the wake of initiatives such as No Child Left Behind and the use of high-stakes testing, the emphasis in schools has been on drill and practice for the test. Genuine understanding and critical thinking have been increasingly shortchanged. As a result, students have fewer opportunities to advance their insight into cognitive and emotional challenges, even though both teachers and parents recognize the importance of developing deliberative and reflective thinking skills. This book uniquely combines two things. First, it provides resources for classroom teachers in grades 3 – 6 that make it possible for them, at a moment’s notice, to take advantage of a teachable moment by drawing students into productive intellectual discussions. Second, it gives the reader an overview of the rationale and the research base for engaging students in educational activities that are truly intellectual and that are not limited to training for testing success.

More than a Test Score - Melinda Strickland - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

More than a Test Score - Melinda Strickland - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

No matter what variety of educational program is used to motivate students the bottom line is knowing the people within the circle of influence are behind every effort the student faces. Our students are the future leaders, parents, workers and citizens of our society. While tests and accountability are very important; the outcome is far greater than basing achievement on individual performance on tests. Information included in More Than a Test Score, derives from educators who empower students to take ownership in their educational journey by using a variety of strategies and programs to meet the needs of the students. The strategies target academic, behavioral and social components in education. Each successful program has one common element that rises above anything else and that is the element called empowerment! Building relationships is one of the main keys to success in school and every endeavor faced by the youth of our society. Success stories are included to show how caring has made a difference with all those involved.

Assessing Psychometric Fitness of Intelligence Tests - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Assessing Psychometric Fitness of Intelligence Tests - - Bog - Rowman & Littlefield - Plusbog.dk

Assessing Psychometric Fitness of Intelligence Tests: Toward Evidence-Based Interpretation Practices addresses issues and concerns regarding appropriate ethical and scientific underpinnings for the appropriate interpretation of intelligence tests. Ethical test interpretation requires test users to consider the empirical evidence for individual and all test score comparisons and to make appropriate clinical decisions accordingly. This requires test users to have competencies in advanced psychometric principles. The chapters in this edited volume present a variety of topics, including the intersection of ethical principles, test standards, and psychometric properties that guide evidence-based interpretation; surveys of empirical evidence in the literature for qualifying major intelligence test interpretations, and psychological measurement topics that impact psychometric understanding of what current intelligence tests can and cannot do. This critical discussion has implications for basic undergraduate and graduate instruction, as well as supervision in clinical and research applications.
