...Internal assessment is an evaluation method that assesses employees from within a company as they progress from job to job through promotion and transfer systems (Phillips & Gully, 2015). Some internal review methods commonly used include: The nine box matrix which is a simple assessment tool that measures the past performance of an employee as well as their potential (Phillips & Gully, 2015). In addition to evaluating the employees, this method also helps the organization comprehend the general strength of the workforce. The Nine Box matrix is effective due to its simplicity and the ease with which the managers can use it. It is also cost effective. Performance appraisals the systematic assessment of an employee’s performance so as to be aware of the growth and development abilities an employee has. One significant role of this method of evaluation is to help the management within an organization outline promotion programs for those employees who have proven to be efficient. This role makes this method a very practical assessment method. Skill inventories are the activities that one can do well. Supervisors within an organization methodically record the most recent skills that the employees acquire in the database. Some internal assessment methods are not very useful. One of them is peer assessment where the employees rank and rate one another. Its advantage is that the workers know each other, and they may hence give first-hand information (Phillips & Gully, 2015)...

...he Use of Assessment Methods and the Impact on English Language LearnersT April 30, 2014 Testing English Language Learners (ELL’s) in our district is a very huge process. When students first enroll, whether it is kindergarten or high school, the parents or guardians are required to fill out a home language survey. Based off the answers the parent/guardians provide determines if the student goes to central registration for testing. If the child is found to be of having more than one language they go for testing. The testing that the student goes through is the World –Class Instructional Design Assessment (WIDA). The WIDA method was adopted in 2008 for the entire state of Virginia. The WIDA is comprised of a series of tests ranging from spoken, written, and listening skills. The instructor who gives the test then gives the child a score on the range of one to six. These scores are directly correlated to the ELP Standards, (www.pwcs.edu/ESOL), our state has adopted. Once the WIDA is given, it gives the upcoming or current teachers a score in reading, writing, fluency, speaking, and listening. From those areas it also gives us a composite score. The composite score is what the ELL teachers use to group their students for instruction. These scores give us teacher’s valuable information in how we should instruct our children and how they should be assessed. We know if a child is at the beginning level...

...the basic abilities of reading, writing, and arithmetic, yet we are finding that 40 percent of students entering college do not have these basic skills at the college level. We also assumed that if a student obtained a Bachelor’s degree, they were qualified for entry level work. Yet surveyed employers are stating that “that they are not pleased with the level of critical thinking, analytic reasoning, and writing skills recent graduates possess”. What is happening in our classrooms that are hindering students from being successful beyond their school years? This paper will discuss two established methods of assessing student learning, CCSS and PARCC, their strengths and weaknesses as well as discuss issues involving the assessment of student learning. Standardized Tests Standardized testing was established under the premise that it would improve teaching practices and methods, therefore improving schools. In essence it is deemed as the “report card for the community” and the efficiency of our schools performance. Besides state specific standardized test, other national standardized tests include: * Secondary School Admission Test (SSAT)- administered to students applying to private secondary schools and some public secondary schools * Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT)- voluntary test given to secondary school students in year 10 or 11 to assist them in preparing for the SAT and to qualify for national merit scholarships...

...employee works in teams and his level of compatibility with other team members in working toward one goal of the organization. • Employee loyalty: it relates to how committed the employee is to the success of the company and whether he plans to remain with the company and keep working with utmost dedication. All three sets of criteria are very important while evaluating an employee. However, comparing the relative value of the three, the most important one is the loyalty of the employee because if the employee is not dedicated towards the company, then his productivity will decrease and he would not show interest in teamwork. There are various techniques which are used for evaluating the performance of employees: 1. Essay appraisal method Here, the evaluator puts in writing a short essay offering estimation of the potencies, flaws and vigor of the subject. In order for this technique to be carried out without prejudice, it is essential that the evaluator is aware of the...

...on the assessment methods you recommended. Recommend either a multiple hurdles, compensatory, or combined approach and explain. Chern’s will take the combined approach (combining the multiple hurdles and compensatory approaches) to rationally combine the scores on the assessment methods we have selected. The multiple hurdles approach will screen candidates’ resumes for KSOA’s. This will require candidates’ to receive a passing score on this assessment before being allowed to continue on in the selection process. Compensatory factors like cognitive ability, integrity, and personality will then be assessed. High scores on some assessments can compensate for low scores on other assessments. Describe the weights for each assessment method when calculating the overall score. Assessment Method: Cognitive Ability Test (measures a candidate’s ability to learn, process, and apply information rapidly; verbal spatial, and mathematical abilities) Scale of Assessment: Typical scores range from 85 to 130 (mean and standard deviation for this sample are 112.5 and 8.02, respectively). Cost: $70 per candidate Assessment Method: Integrity Test (measures a candidate’s trustworthiness, integrity, and honesty) Scale of Assessment: Possible scores for this test range from 1 to 5 (mean = 3.50, std. dev. = 0.93). Cost: $70 per candidate Over score = c + (b1 X a1) + (b2 X a2) + (b3 X a3)... Using your interview score results, candidate resumes, and scores on the assessment methods you included...

...Final Research Project Critical Issues of Training Needs Analysis in Small Organizations BUS 680 Training and Development Dr. Gertrude I Hewapathirana Introduction of the topic Training sessions can be tailored to see the needs of small business as well as large corporations. Trainings should provide content seen to be relevant to improving the operation of the business. Effective training sessions more clearly allow management to perceive the potential benefits of training and even have them more inclined to participate in training. “If the training methods are structured to fit the learning styles and approaches preferred by small business managers we would expect a higher level of learning and greater satisfaction with the learning process to occur,” (Jeffery, Hide &Legg, 2010). Companies today are no longer conducting training needs analysis (TNA). They are no longer discussing the benefits of TNA. It appears in today’s society, “the world move so fast that people don't really ask the TNA questions anymore - they just jump to an answer....?” (Martin, ed.) Not conducting TNA has presented itself as a critical issue of training needs analysis for small organizations. Abstract As long as the company is growing, an organizations training needs are never ending. Critical issues of training needs analysis are often more apparent within smaller organizations. A training needs analysis (TNA) is one of the...

...International Journal of Selection and Assessment Volume 17 Number 3 September 2009 Guidelines and Ethical Considerations for Assessment Center Operations1 International Task Force on Assessment Center Guidelines2 This document is an update of several prior editions of guidelines and ethical considerations for assessment center operations dating back to 1975. Each set of guidelines was developed and endorsed by specialists in the research, development, and implementation of assessment centers. The guidelines are a statement of the considerations believed to be most important for all users of the assessment center method. For instance, the use of job-related simulations is a core concept when using the method. Job simulation exercises allow individuals to demonstrate their abilities in situations that are important on the job. As stressed in these guidelines, a procedure should not be represented as an assessment center unless it includes at least one, and usually several, job-related simulations that require the assessee to demonstrate a constructed behavioral response. Other important areas include assessor selection and training, using ‘competencies’ as dimensions to be assessed, validation, participants’ rights, and the incorporation of technology into assessment center programs. The current guidelines discuss a number of considerations in developing and using assessment centers in diverse cultural settings. 1. Purpose staff of an assessment center; and (4) guidance on the...
