Smarter Measure Assessment: Jefferson College

Through encouraging learners or athletes to act out a strategic activity or skill, the learner learns the drill in an informal manner. This also helps aid memory retention and muscle memory retention, especially for improving motor skills or conditioned behaviour.

In the Fall 2016, HIT 101 course, one student received an A and two students received Bs The lowest score of all students in both midterm and final exams was 76 percent and the highest score was 95 percent.

The reliability of an assessment in a perfect situation should produce the same results if marked by another tutor or if that examiner unknowingly receives the same paper again. If different marks are given the assessment is consequently unreliable and proves that this assessment is subjective.

This report summarizes my findings after evaluating the curriculum of Natchez-Adams School District. I was granted access to the curriculum by Dr. Delarious Stewart, Curriculum Director for the Natchez-Adams School District. This report is designed to reflect how the curriculum is aligned with state and district standards. A curriculum is vital to promoting the success of all students because it is the content that is being taught in the school district. For this reason, the person or persons designing and developing the curriculum must understand the many different facets of an effective curriculum. I will present my findings in the following paragraphs.

You should make sure that all your records are legible, and keep them confidential unless you have permission otherwise.

If I was the case manager I would evaluate the effectiveness of the assessment strategies presented in this article by using the evidence base methods presented in this study on the same individual multiple times. This will allow me to see if the individual’s severity of CP is within the same measure each time. For example, I would conduct interviews monthly for three months. I would do this before interventions have taken place to see if the CP severity is the within the same perimeters each time. I would also assess individuals of the same sex, age, and grade level, and that tends to demonstrate the same behavior. This way I will be able to determine if the severity of conduct problems were only successful on certain norms, or if it was successful

Taking the Smarter Measure assessment allowed me to learn so many interesting things about myself, stuff I didn't even know. A fact that took me by surprise was the fact that i’m an aural learner, which means that I learn through listening. I always thought of myself as a visual learner, but being an aural learner makes sense since I have always correlated memories with music. One result that didn’t really surprise me was that I can read 307 words per minute, as a kid I have always loved to read. In elementary school, I used to read in a fifth grade level while being in third grade! Now when I read a book, I can finish it in either a day or two. My reading recall was at 70%, which to me, I think its bad. I need to improve on reading and remembering what I read, a way that helps me remember stuff better is if I read out loud a part of the passage that I think is important, which makes sense since I am an aural learner.

Epic's assessment website started having technical issues during the second assessment. Because other test takers were also experiencing problems with the website, the ProctorU supervisor decided that he would stop the exam and contact Epic about these internal issues. I hope ProctorU informed your department about these issues. Not a problem, I will reschedule as soon as possible.

Pupils learning and progress needs to be measured against objectives using ongoing assessment methods. Formative assessment methods are ongoing, they are used to check progress continually during learning . These techniques include using open ended questions which encourage pupils to think for themselves and use their own ideas rather than being influenced too much or led by the adult. Observing pupils is a formative assessment method which allows us to gather lots of knowledge about how pupils are progressing. It reveals how they work, interact with others, preferences, strengths, weaknesses etc over a period of time. Observations can be informal and take place on an ongoing regular basis or can be formal direct observations. Listening to pupils describe their work and reasoning, to hear about pupils understanding

Seven years after the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in 2010, many educators are still grappling with how to adjust their instruction to ensure that their students are equipped with the skills that are considered “essential for success in college, career, and life in today’s global economy” (Common Core Standards Initiative, 2017). Additionally, with the introduction of many new Common-Core aligned assessments across the country over the last few years, the current national climate around education is focused primarily on testing (Springer, Harris, & Dole, 2017). As a result, teachers are concentrating their efforts on delivering fast-paced instruction, increasing levels of rigor, and preparing students for

According to Diane Ravitch, “Sometimes, the most brilliant and intelligent minds do not shine in standardized tests because they do not have standardized minds.” Her point is that not every student’s mind operates the same way, so one test that all students must take does not measure the student’s actual abilities. Across the United States, standardized testing is a popular method used to measure a student’s academic ability and their college admission. These exams have multiple-choice questions and sometimes a writing section, which the examiners must complete in a certain amount of time. Every year the tests get harder and harder, which causes anxiety in the students. Standardized testing does not measure the skills students have learned

I would first like to say that I’m not a good test taker and I don’t like the whole concept of it. I know this is an assessment and not a test but, judging someone’s learning capabilities on how well they score isn’t accurate and shouldn’t be that way. I’d say I did fairly well with the assessment. Given the name “Smarter Measure” could be offensive to some.

This self-assessment focuses on attendance, knowledge acquisition, and academic achievement. Since this class is based online the score would be based on online participation in Zoom sessions and completion of assignments. I have not missed a Zoom session and actively engage in the discussions presented. Also, all of the assignments due have been completed before the end of the due date. Therefore, according to the rubric I would be considered proficient in the category of attendance. The next category is knowledge acquisition; at which I would be considered competent in this area. I engage between two to four hours average a week on Blackboard and the Connect site. I try to complete the Learn Smarts at least twice a week to understand the material

In high school, decisions are made for students with disabilities. The school is responsible for providing students with a disability a Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). In providing FAPE, the school district must ensure that the appropriate and allowable accommodations and modifications are in place to promote academic success. The school must complete the necessary assessments as required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) within the required timeframe. Assessments such as developmental assessments, screening tests, individual intelligence tests, individual academic achievement tests; adaptive behavior scales, behavior rating scales, curriculum-based assessments and alternate assessments are all considered appropriate assessments for determining eligibility or educational needs for students with disabilities. At this stage, the parent or legal guardian has the autonomy to make decisions for the student. A parent’s rights and protections are written in the procedural safeguards. The procedural safeguard not only protects the rights of children with disability and their parents but it also provides information that assists in any

In my many years of education, standardized tests have been a widely-used form of academic measurement. Each year of school brought a new, more advanced, test that I had to conquer. These seemed to be preparation for a higher-stakes sort of test. The ACT. A test that would decide where I go to college, and how much money it would cost me. For decades, standardized tests have been the main source for information on student progress in schools. A contrast of views has become more prevalent in recent years on the fairness and validity of the results of these tests. What is it that these exams test for? Do they hold teachers accountable? Do the tests promote academic progress and college
