Introducing EPS2.0

Value added methodology measures student growth and can provide useful information to educators. It analyzes learning trajectories to target interventions and assess placement fairness. This helps meet all student needs. While standardized tests cause "shed patterns" of disproportionate gains, the goal is equal growth for all. Teacher effectiveness strongly influences academic growth. Principals should use value added data to match teachers' strengths to student needs, leading to improved schools.

LEARNING ANALYTICS IN SCHOOLS https://latte-analytics.sydney.edu.au/school/ for updates. Date: Monday 5 March, 2018 Time: 8.30am—3.15pm Venue: SMC Conference & Function Centre, 66 Goulburn Street, Sydney NSW 2000 In association with the 8th International Conference on Learning Analytics & Knowledge, Society for Learning Analytics Research Briefing papers: https://latte-analytics.sydney.edu.au/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/k12_papers-1.pdf You are warmly invited to join this inaugural event! The data and analytics revolutions are disrupting and already transforming many sectors in society: finance, health, shopping, politics. Data is not new to education, but for many, it is still challenging to articulate the connection between the potential of using data to support decision making, and the every day-to-day operations occurring in learning environments. School leaders, teachers, data analysts, academics, policy makers and all other interested parties are invited to join a professional learning and development day focused on the practical applications of Learning Analytics in school (K-12) education. Drawing on national and international expertise, speakers include innovative school leaders and teachers, school data analysts, university researchers, government and software companies. Whether you already know a bit about Learning Analytics, are brand new to it, or already use it in the classroom, there will be insightful sessions with pertinent applications for all levels of knowledge and understanding. You will leave with a deeper understanding of: The diverse forms that Learning Analytics can take, and especially how technology extends this far beyond conventional school data to create better feedback How such data is being used by school leaders to support strategic reflection How new kinds of data are being used by teachers to support their practice The practicalities of initiating such work in your own school This is the first event of its kind in Australia, and a new initiative for the international LAK conference, so you will make many professional connections as we forge this new network.

Prof. Tony Watts presents on the topic: "Career management skills" at an international conference in Sofia, 08th Nov 2011. The conference is organised in cooperation between European Training Foundation, ELGPN and Euroguidance Bulgaria.

The document discusses reforms aimed at improving learning around the world. It notes that expectations for learning have changed and now emphasize skills like collaboration, problem solving, and lifelong learning. However, 20th century teaching methods are not adequate to meet 21st century demands. Effective teachers engage students in active learning and continuously assess student work. The highest achieving nations invest heavily in teacher training and collaboration. Standards and assessments should focus on higher-order thinking skills rather than memorization. Overall, the document advocates for reforms that strengthen teaching quality through professional learning opportunities.

Value-added assessment measures student academic growth and progress over time to evaluate teacher and school performance. It uses students' past test scores to predict expected growth and compares that to actual scores, showing which teachers and schools help students progress more or less than anticipated given their starting points. This helps identify effective teaching practices and allocate resources, while controlling for factors like socioeconomics. The approach was pioneered in Tennessee and research shows students taught by multiple highly effective teachers in a row experience much higher achievement gains.

The company is headed by IIM Graduates Sudhir Ghodke and Sridhar Rajagopalan and its aim is to promote an atmosphere of quality within India's primary school system. It pursues this by raising concerns related to the quality of learning, providing services related to assessment, professional development of teachers, curriculum and pedagogy, and influencing educational policy, especially in the realm of assessment.It takes a systems approach in order to improve the quality of learning. It uses a cycle of problem discovery, cause identification, solution implementation and feedback (which may lead to a deeper level of problem identification), a positive spiral towards improvement.

This document discusses formative assessment, which involves collecting evidence of student learning to inform instruction. Formative assessments can take many forms, such as summaries, charts, discussions, observations, and entrance/exit tickets. They provide benefits to teachers, students, and parents by helping to guide instruction, reflect on learning, and support students. While formative assessments are useful, they require teacher training and can be subject to cheating. The document also presents examples of using technology for formative assessments, such as voiceovers, games, and blogs.

This document provides examples of engaged teaching strategies and describes key elements of effective teacher evaluation. It lists strategies like small group work, project-based learning, flipped classroom approaches, and labs. It also discusses expectations for communicating clearly with students, using questioning techniques, formative and summative assessments, and establishing an environment of respect. The document is intended to help teachers understand how to demonstrate excellent teaching practices.

This document discusses incorporating peer feedback and evaluation into Chicago's teacher evaluation system called REACH. It finds that teachers do not view REACH as effective for feedback and that 1/4 of teachers did not receive required evaluations. It recommends instituting peer feedback and evaluation systems to address these issues. A survey of Chicago teachers found they value content-expert peer feedback and evaluation and are open to incorporating it. Incorporating peers could improve REACH by providing better feedback and reducing the administrative burden.

Presented at the 2013 MUPSA Conference, 3 Oct 2013. An overview of the Parents and NAPLAN project so far. See notes for details.

In January 2012, School Improvement Network surveyed educators nationwide about the rising pressure of teacher evaluations and high-stakes student testing. More than 4,000 educators responded and overwhelmingly agreed that teacher evaluations help them grow as professionals (91%), but including high-stakes student test scores in evaluations is unfair (85%). 60% of educators also supported using evaluations as criteria for firing or tenure decisions.

This document discusses impact assessment and why it is valuable. It defines impact assessment as measuring the tangible and intangible effects of an entity's actions or influence on others. Impact assessment is constructive, produces individual outcomes, and engages learners and instructors. It often uses action research methods like guided reflection and scholarly personal narratives. Impact assessment goes beyond just reflection to measure insight and the lasting effects on learners, lives, and the world. Conducting impact assessment makes education more valuable by preparing students and obtaining useful institutional data. It also more deeply engages students by meeting their needs.

The document summarizes key findings from a research project on contract cheating in Australian higher education. The project involved surveys of over 14,000 students and 1,100 staff across 8 universities. It found that contract cheating is a systemic issue influenced by perceptions of higher education as a business. While most outsourcing involves people students know, certain factors like speaking a non-English language at home increase risk. Authentic assessment alone does not prevent cheating, and suspected cases often go unreported due to lack of proof or time. Overall, the problem requires addressing the complex causes rather than simplistic solutions.

This document describes a math placement tool called Math-Pensity that uses multiple measures to recommend the most appropriate math course for students with 90% accuracy. It explains that misplacement can cause students to fail algebra and fall behind in higher math. Math-Pensity considers state test scores, interim assessments, teacher recommendations accounting for maturity and skills, and a proprietary matrix. A trial in one district achieved over 95% accuracy in placing middle and high school students in the correct math levels. The document promotes Math-Pensity as helping districts save time, improve equity and access to courses, and develop optimal schedules annually in a changing process.

This document discusses using data to improve schools and student outcomes. It provides: 1) Nine characteristics of high-performing schools that focus on clear goals, high expectations, leadership, collaboration, aligned curriculum and frequent monitoring. 2) An eight-step process called "Data Wise" for using data to identify problems, examine instruction, develop plans and assess progress. 3) The importance of considering multiple data sources, such as demographics, perceptions, programs and student learning to understand different student experiences.

OiB is “blijvend actief” en voortdurend in beweging. Dat wil ook zeggen dat OiB graag meegaat met de tijd waarin het onnodig belasten van het milieu terecht een ‘hot item’ is. De slogan “Een beter milieu begint bij jezelf” past OiB als gegoten en dus leest u op dit moment het eerste digitale OiB-jaarverslag. Geen papieren versie meer om zo een (klein) steentje bij te dragen aan een betere leefomgeving voor iedereen. OiB was in 2012 wederom nadrukkelijk aanwezig in Oosterhout. Zowel op sport- en beweeggebied als met culturele activiteiten. Het meest in het oogspringende evenement in 2012 waren de Amerstreekspelen. Deze grootschalige sportdag werd door OiB samen met een aantal partners voor de Rabobank uitgevoerd op de velden van vv Oosterhout. Alle Oosterhoutse en Teteringse basisscholen waren aanwezig en met bijna 4.300 leerlingen was de dag even zo succesvol als de Oosterhoutse Rabospelen in 2009. Het totaal aantal deelnemers aan OiB-activiteiten of activiteiten waarin OiB een fundamentele rol heeft gespeeld is minstens zo indrukwekkend. Circa 14.000 deelnemers (kinderen, jongeren, volwassenen en/of senioren) waren actief op het gebied van sport en bewegen. De culturele activiteiten telden ongeveer 3.850 deelnames.
