Eric.ed.gov – On Their Own: Students’ Responses to Open-Ended Questions in Math, Reading, Science, Social Studies. Results of the 1990 Assessment: Grade Four, Grade Eight, Grade Twelve.

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: In the spring of 1990, over 9,000 4th-, 8th- and 12th-grade students (only 6 percent of all students in Massachusetts) were assessed using open-ended mathematical, scientific, social studies, and reading concepts. Beginning with the Massachusetts Educational Assessment Program for 1992, open-ended questions will be administered to all students and will contribute to school and district scores. This series of reports describes the results of these assessments to communicate levels of student achievement throughout the state, familiarize teachers and administrators with the types of questions that will be included on the next assessment; and improve assessments taking place within classrooms by providing models that teachers can adapt to their own evaluations of students’ knowledge, understanding, and abilities. Fifteen handouts for grade 4, 17 handouts for grade 8, and… Continue Reading

Eric.ed.gov – Intensive Intervention Practice Guide: Increasing Opportunities to Respond as an Intensive Intervention

eric.ed.gov har udgivet: In a multi-tiered system of support, we often conceptualize intensive interventions as supplemental academic or behavior supports delivered to a small group of students at Tier 2 or intensive, individualized supports at Tier 3. At Tier 2, some students may not initially respond to the standard protocol of an intervention. In these situations, it may be useful to adapt or intensify components of the intervention to improve student responsiveness before moving a student to a more intensive, individualized intervention. There are some evidence-based teacher practices that can be used to intensify supports for students who struggle with academics or behavior in the context of both Tier 1 and Tier 2 supports. One evidence-based teacher practice that can be used to intensify supports for students is increasing opportunities… Continue Reading
