The Assessment Bridge - Pearl G. Solomon - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

"Just the kind of bridge we need to span the ideological wars and make schools work for teachers and their students." Ann Lieberman Senior Scholar, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Visiting Professor, Stanford University "In her supremely well-written and useful book, Dr. Solomon has woven together historical perspective, research, and her own considerable experience to address reforming schools in the 21st Century. After defining the problem (productive change), Dr. Solomon has examined ′old′ solutions and conceptualized new ones to create better schools for students." Nancy Goldman, Director of Curriculum Pearl River School District Pearl River, NY "Standards and implementation of the learning process go hand in hand. The Assessment Bridge makes us clearly aware of the present need for a bridge between the two so that standards may not create greater failure and the rejection of formal education by many children." Matthew Foley, Pastor Epiphany Roman Catholic Church We must ensure that tests serve the needs of education—not force education to fulfill needs of test creators. The Assessment Bridge is award-winning educator Pearl Solomon′s penetrating and cogent examination of today′s high-stakes standards-based testing movement, which seems to compromise effective teaching and learning rather than improve it. Committed teachers know the importance of student assessment as a guide to classroom instruction. Restoring assessment to its proper place in the curriculum is the goal of this clear-headed analysis. Chapters cover: - - The origins and history of the current testing movement - - How good tests guide teaching and learning - - How to balance standardized tests, curriculum standards, and critical local variables such as class size, socioeconomics, and teacher attitudes - - How to build bridges from test anxiety to improved student learning, teacher training, curriculum and instruction, and school administration and leadership - - How to recruit, train, and nurture a new generation of talented, committed, and effective teachers Emphasizing the positive at all times, Solomon guides us toward creation of better schools where the best teachers and school leaders link tests to standards, curriculum, and improved student learning.

Raising Test Scores for All Students - Eugene Kennedy - Bog - SAGE Publications Inc - Plusbog.dk

Finally—a school improvement plan that raises standardized test scores and improves your students′ performance! Standardized tests are so widely used in public schools, they seem to have been around forever. On the contrary, standardized testing as we know it today is a relatively recent phenomenon, and in today′s classrooms and schools the stakes have never been higher. For students, test results may determine whether they are promoted from one grade to another or if they receive their high school diplomas. For teachers, the pressures are equally great. Student outcomes on standardized tests are often directly linked to annual evaluations, pay raises, and even future employment. And for school administrators, these tests can determine the reputation of a school and be the basis for public rewards or demoralizing sanctions. Raising Test Scores for All Students marries knowledge about testing and test preparation with school improvement, providing a comprehensive guide for administrators looking for a systemic approach to the challenge of standardized testing. Eugene Kennedy includes a concise overview of the history and research on testing, case studies, flow charts and forms, as well as a four-step approach to improving performance: - - - Step 1: Adopting a Systemic Approach to Improvement and Change - - Step 2: Aligning the Educational Process with the Desired Outcome - - Step 3: Aligning the Education Process with Inputs - Step 4: Creating Positive Change . . . Plus strategies and techniques for motivating all your students. This innovative approach is an invaluable tool for any educator!
