As professionals working with children, we must look at assessment as a driving force behind planning instruction and developing goals for those children in our care. We must begin to understand the relationship between how children are assessed and how assessment data is used. This is a multi-step process of gathering data, determining goals for instruction, and then implementing those goals into our work with children. For this Final Project, you are asked to do the first two steps of this process. You will develop a partial portfolio for the child you observed and, with that information, you will develop instructional goals for that child. This assignment has three parts: The first part of this assignment requires you to develop a mission statement. Using your completed Assessment Purpose KWL Chart from the Week Five Reflection Journal, create your mission statement outlining: The purpose of assessment Your plan for including assessment when working with children How you can use assessment to document children’s work How you will use children’s interests and ideas when assessing.

...An outcomes-based approach to education clearly specifies what students are expected to learn and arranges the curriculum such that these intended outcomes are achieved (Harden, 2007). Learning outcomes provide the base for an effectively aligned and integrated curriculum, where instructional activities and assessment strategies are explicitly linked to course-specific and degree-level learning outcomes, which are tied to institutional and provincially-defined graduate degree level expectations (DLEs). Learning outcomes provide a powerful framework upon which to structure curricula. According to Harden et al., (1999; 2007a) learning outcomes: * help to provide clarity, integration and alignment within and between a sequence of courses; * promote a learner-centred approach to curriculum planning; * encourage a self-directed and autonomous approach to learning, as students can take responsibility for their studies, and are able to actively gauge their progress; * promote a collegial approach to curriculum planning, as instructors collaborate to identify gaps and redundancies, * ensure that decisions related to the curriculum and learning environment are streamlined; * foster a philosophy of continual monitoring, evaluation and improvement; and, * help to ensure accountability and assure quality of our education programs. An aligned curriculum organizes structures and sequences courses around the intended learning outcomes. In order for this approach...

...Current Research IN READING / LANGUAGE ARTS Understanding Assessment: Putting Together the Puzzle SHEILA W. VALENCIA UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, SEATTLE “No one test or assessment should be asked to serve all the assessment purposes. We need, at this point, a system made up of articulated components, glued together by their adherence to content standards and serving explicit purposes for assessment.” —National Council for Education Standards and Testing, 1992 discussions, and more. Now, 10 years later, we are hearing the same reminder (Brennan, Kim, WenzGross, Siperstein, 2001; Herman, 2001; International Reading Association, 1999). In fact, in July 2001 members of the National Education Association, the nation’s largest teacher’s union, endorsed a policy calling for a combination of standardized tests and other assessment tools such as teacher designed assessments when making important educational decisions (Blair & Archer, 2001). Assessment has always been a part of the educational landscape. However, because assessment can serve so many different purposes and can come in so many different forms, it has been confusing and, sometimes, it has been the subject of contentious debate. Unfortunately, as a result, many of us have come to view assessment as a necessary evil, a requirement rather than a helpful part of instruction. But assessment IS a critical part of instruction and it CAN be useful if we understand the pieces of the puzzle. As far back as 1992, when...

...Chapter 1: Student Characteristics Understand Characteristics of Students with Disabilities Some students with disabilities pass through typical developmental milestones and express skills within an average range for their age group. Others show delayed growth at certain developmental milestones, and many students with disabilities experience challenges as they navigate through the school curriculum. It is critical that special education teachers know how to differentiate between typical individual differences among children without disabilities and differences that may indicate a disability that requires interventions and/or specialized designed instruction. In addition, special education teachers need to know the most common types of disabilities that students may experience and how those disabilities affect their ability to learn and their behavior in the classroom. Competency 1 thus focuses on the characteristics of typical and atypical human growth and development and the characteristics of students with various disabilities that special education teachers are likely to encounter. The test includes a wide range of multiple-choice questions that address Competency 1. * Questions on typical and atypical behaviors and abilities for children and adolescents at particular ages. * Questions on the types and characteristics of various disabilities. * Questions on the similarities and differences among students with and without disabilities. This competency encompasses...

Business pressures are ever-increasing and organizations are now required to become even more effective and efficient, execute better on business strategy, and do more with less to remain competitive. This puts focus on the work process and improving efficiency in how it is carried out. A work process is a series of steps or activities that use different organization resources (e.g., information, raw materials, human labor, machinery, supplies) to provide a product or service. When thinking about how work gets done in an organization, we usually focus on how people do their jobs and how each team and department gets the work done. Organizations are implementing innovative solutions to ensure that work processes deliver real results and improve business performance. Managers use many assessment tools and processes to assess, improve and monitor work processes. What is Performance Assessment? Performance assessment is a process that enables managers to assess...

...informal assessment regarding fluency and comprehension for my eighth grade class. I chose a lesson found online through www.havefunteaching.com. This lesson consists of a reading passage consisting of 506 words. At the end of the passage there are five questions that have been created to assess the student’s comprehension of that passage. For this assessment I plan to individually pull aside each student and explain to them the purpose of this assessment. I will explain that this will be an ongoing assessment that I will use to measure and set goals to make them more effective readers. I will tell them that they should not focus on being timed because as they become more fluent, they will become metacognitive readers. I will use the following form that I have created to keep a record of their progress for future reference.

...1) When should employers reassess the assessment methods they use in hiring? Assessment methods should be reevaluated if organizations desired goals and expected outcomes of hires are not achieved. Business and staffing strategies will differ and may require multiple methods of assessing to accomplish staffing objectives. Methods provide effective and/or efficient means to identify applicants/candidates ability to be a successful hire. Factors employers should consider in determining if assessment methods may require evaluation; • High employee turnover rates • Poor performance related to new hires • Low applicant rates • Declines in organizational productivity • Screening of applicants effectively • Identification of competencies requirements (Person-job fit) • Identify development needs and/or capacity to obtain knowledge • Organization and cultural fit (Person-organizational fit) • Talent and HR philosophy alignment to business strategy • Other attributes; personality, attitude, motivations, teamwork and interests (Person–group fit) and (Person-vocation fit) • Validity/reliability and accuracy of method to achieve staffing goals • Minimize adverse impact, ethical and legal concerns • Maximize ROI/costs of hiring • Candidates reaction (fair, consistent and objective) Source: Strategic Staffing 2nd edition – Phillips and Gully.

...better educated on pain management and how to asses it, if pain goals are discussed and written on the whiteboards, and if pain assessments are included in hourly rounding, pain would be better controlled and patient satisfaction scores would increase. Change, however, is never easy to implement. Once change begins, monitoring the implementation process is important to evaluate the effectiveness, the quality of the change, and how it will affect staffing. Communication also plays a vital role in the implementing process, as keeping everyone informed and empowered is important in order for change to be successful. The proposed solution to help implement the change would be to hold educational programs about pain management and assessments that each and every medical-surgical unit nurse would need to attend. The educational program will be held three times per week for each shift to complete. The program will be mandatory and each week a certain nursing unit will be assigned until all units/nurses have attended the educational program. The educational program for pain management and assessment will teach nurses about the pain process, how to assess it visually and through communication, and what interventions can be done to help manage it. The educational program will also teach nurses on how to use assessment tools for pain and how to explain the importance on educating the patient on an achievable pain goal. The rationale for selecting this type of proposed solution is...
