Incentives and Test-Based Accountability in Education - Bok av Committee on Incentives and Test-Based Accountability in Public Education - Häftad

In recent years there have been increasing efforts to use accountability systems based on large-scale tests of students as a mechanism for improving student achievement. The federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is a prominent example of such an effort, but it is only the continuation of a steady trend toward greater test-based accountability in education that has been going on for decades. Over time, such accountability systems included ever-stronger incentives to motivate school administrators,..

Getting Value Out of Value-Added - Report of a Workshop - Bok av National Academy of Education - Häftad

Getting Value Out of Value-Added - Report of a Workshop - Bok av National Academy of Education - Häftad

\Value-added methods refer to efforts to estimate the relative contributions of specific teachers, schools, or programs to student test performance. In recent years, these methods have attracted considerable attention because of their potential applicability for educational accountability, teacher pay-for-performance systems, school and teacher improvement, program evaluation, and research. Value-added methods involve complex statistical models applied to test data of varying quality. Accordingly,..

Generating Evidence for Genomic Diagnostic Test Development - Workshop Summary - Bok av Institute of Medicine - Häftad

Generating Evidence for Genomic Diagnostic Test Development - Workshop Summary - Bok av Institute of Medicine - Häftad

\Ten years after the sequencing of the human genome, scientists have developed genetic tests that can predict a person's response to certain drugs, estimate the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, and make other predictions based on known links between genes and diseases. However, genetic tests have yet to become a routine part of medical care, in part because there is not enough evidence to show they help improve patients' health.The Institute of Medicine (IOM) held a workshop to explore how..
