Common Sense Questions about Tests - Gerard Giordano - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Parents had questions about the tests their children took at school. They considered them to be common sense questions. They posed them to the businesspeople, publishers, and politicians who championed tests. They also posed them to the school administrators, teachers, and union leaders who criticized them. This book examines the questions the parents posed, the answers they elicited, and the changes they prodded.

Assessing Psychometric Fitness of Intelligence Tests - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Assessing Psychometric Fitness of Intelligence Tests - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - 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.

Stigma and Social Support on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - Laura Blount Carper - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Stigma and Social Support on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - Laura Blount Carper - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Stigma and Social Support on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program delves into the daily complex lives of individuals on the program and the hardships the program has on participants. The author provides examples of experiencing stigmatization while on SNAP and possible methods to help improve, or lessen, the stigma with the use of positive social support. The chapters include the author’s personal experiences on SNAP, factors influencing enrollment, overall views of the program, stigma, disclosure concerns of enrollment, social support, and implications from the findings. Chapters addressing statistical findings and theory application are also included. Stigma and Social Support on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program provides an in-depth view on the themes of stigma while enrolled in SNAP such as embarrassment, feelings of failure, fear of being perceived as lazy, and feelings of judgment. This book serves as a useful tool for researchers of stigma and welfare programs, as well as for policy makers to improve aspects of the program that are causing some of the most vulnerable populations such as typically unrepresented and exploited groups (e.g., immigrants, migrant/temporary workers, and racial/ethnic minorities) to feel more stigmatized than other groups.

An Empty Curriculum - Sandra Stotsky - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

An Empty Curriculum - Sandra Stotsky - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Teachers cannot teach what they do not know. This country has tolerated a weak licensing system for prospective teachers for decades. This weak system has been accompanied by an increasingly emptier curriculum for most students, depriving them of the knowledge and skills needed for self-government. An Empty Curriculum: How Teacher Licensure Tests Lead to Empty Student Minds makes the case that the complete revision of the licensing system for prospective and veteran teachers in Massachusetts in 2000 and the construction of new or more demanding teacher licensing tests contributed significantly to the Massachusetts “education miracle.” That “miracle” consisted of enduring gains in achievement for students in all demographic groups and in all regional vocational/technical high schools since 2005—gains confirmed by tests independent of Massachusetts policy makers. The immediate purpose of this book is to explain what Massachusetts did in 2000 to strengthen its teacher licensing and re-licensing system to ensure that all teachers could teach to relatively strong K-12 standards. Its larger purpose is to suggest that development of strong academic standards in all major subjects should be followed by complete revision of a state’s teacher licensing system, not, as has been the case for several decades, the development of K-12 student tests—if this country wants to strengthen public education.

Teaching Test-Taking Skills - Guinevere Durham - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Teaching Test-Taking Skills - Guinevere Durham - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The No Child Left Behind Act has standardized the proficiency requirements of students, thus challenging schools to teach, test, and be accountable for student mastery of the curriculum. Students no longer have the luxury of time to learn the mechanics of taking tests. As early as third grade, they not only must have acquired the knowledge of the material, they also have to perform on the tests that measure that knowledge. Dr. Guinevere Durham has spent 25 years researching, writing, and implementing a program that teaches test-taking skills to students. Teaching Test-Taking Skills is filled with strategies, techniques, and activities that have been proven successful in the classroom. It is practical, user-friendly, cost effective, and compatible with any curriculum. The test scores of students taught these skills are a true assessment of their potential.

The Parent-School Board Feuds - Gerard Giordano - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Parent-School Board Feuds - Gerard Giordano - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

During the COVID-19 pandemic, parents were able to observe their children in online classes. They were surprised by classroom discussions and assignments related to gender, race, ethnicity, and religion along with the policies that were guiding curricula, tests, technology, athletics, discipline, safety, transportation, funding, and numerous other aspects of schools. Parents began giving their advice to their school boards, but when they were ignored, they disrupted meetings, wrote editorials, created blogs, staged rallies, and lobbied state officials. They were hoping to attract media attention and acquire political power and were stunned by their success. The Parent-School Board Feuds: Essential Steps by Parents to Improve Schools recounts parent-school board feuding about controversial classroom topics such as gender and race, their disagreements about school policies, including those affecting tests, technology, athletics, and discipline, and the impact that parents had during the pandemic and continue to have today.

The Values of American Teachers - Robert Slater - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

The Values of American Teachers - Robert Slater - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Education today is increasingly focused on tests and testing. Teachers are being judged on how much they can increase test scores from one year to the next. These year-to-year gains in scores are part of a "value-added" approach to teacher evaluation, and value-added teacher assessment is all the rage now. A main point of this book is that while teachers do add value when they enable students to increase their performance on standardized tests, this is neither the only nor the most important value they add. An analysis of 40 years of data on teachers suggests that an equally if not more important value added is their contribution to the stability of our increasingly unsteady democracy. Teachers help steady modern democracy by teaching children the limits of liberty and by cultivating the social virtues--trust, cooperation, helpfulness, and the like--upon which civil society depends. We need not only to recognize this but also to avoid education policies that undermine their willingness and ability to do so.

High-Stakes Testing and the Decline of Teaching and Learning - David Hursh - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

High-Stakes Testing and the Decline of Teaching and Learning - David Hursh - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the changes in educational policy in the U.S. and Britain over the last twenty-five years. Hursh argues that education in the States and Britain has been radically transformed, first through efforts to create curricular standards, more recently through an emphasis on accountability measured by standardized tests, and currently, efforts to introduce market competition and private services into educational systems. Hursh offers an alternative to the neoliberal conception of society and education complete with examples of parents who reject the current emphasis on individual success and schools that promote civic-mindedness.

Education Myths - Jay P. Greene - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Education Myths - Jay P. Greene - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

How can we fix America''s floundering public schools? Conventional wisdom says that schools and teachers need a lot more money, that poor and immigrant children can''t do as well as most American kids, that high-stakes tests just produce teaching to the test, and that vouchers do little to help students while undermining our democracy. But what if the conventional wisdom is wrong? Jay Greene provocatively shows that much of what people believe about education policy is little more than a series of myths advanced by the special interest groups dominating public education.
