Wide Range Achievement Test

Background For many years schools have mainly focused on the importance of standardized test results and not about how well the students know the material. Students are just cramming for exams and then as soon as they take that test the information is lost. The need is to come up with a better solution for the students to learn. With arts integration, this goal can be achieved. This will give students a different approach to their learning which is fun and enjoyable and will make the students

Outliers are far more than successful people who have created their own success stories. What we see on the outer wall are highly intelligent people with strong ambitions, however, Outliers written by Malcolm Gladwell proves this view incorrect. Gladwell takes us through examples of how some of the most successful people in the world have been influenced by cultures and communities even to parenting styles. In Outliers, the focus is not on how people flourish; instead, it’s everything that’s around

Seymour Sarason once wrote that “we live in a test-conscious, test-giving culture in which the lives of people are in part determined by their test performance” (1959, p. 26). Taking tests are a large part of a child’s experience in school and serve many purposes. Tests range from the high-stakes context of yearly standardized testing mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB; U.S. Congress, 2002) to a variety of classroom tests which serve to monitor student progress as well as drive

administered the WRAT test to Brianna. Out of a possible 55 points, Brianna scored 50 points in the spelling section, which placed her into the 99th percentile and scored in a post-high school range. For math, she scored a total of 46 points, out of a possible 55 which placed her into the 92nd percentile and also in the post high school range. In reading, she scored 49 points, out of a possible 57, which placed her into the 87th percentile, also in a post high school range. The OASIS3 is a test that measures

between teacher training and student achievement. Hanushek (1989, 1997; Fehrler et al., 2009) concluded that there is no strong evidence to suggest that teacher training and teacher education has a positive effect on student achievement. On the other hand, Greenwald et.al (1996) and Kane (2013) find a strong relationship between teacher education and student achievement. Using a narrative synthesis of individual studies, Wayne and Youngs (2003) argue that students’ test scores in English, History and Science

Understanding the Principles and Practices of Assessment Assignment 1 Introduction Assessment is the process of judging a learner’s skills and knowledge within the work place or training environment, set against the National Occupational Standards. (NOS) These standards reflect best practice in the particular industry. Learners will be assessed as either competent or not yet competent and their evidence will be judged as sufficient or insufficient for them to have reached these standards.

Comprehension strategies are used as part of an effective reading program to teach students how to monitor their understanding of what they have read. Additionally, students learn where and how to implement these strategies to derive meaning and clear up any areas of text that are confusing. These strategies help students monitor their understanding of the text by making predictions, attaching the content to prior experiences, and asking questions about the text to deeper their understanding (Reading

Abstract A wide range of research has been done on the effects of mainstreaming on learning disabled children. Although many studies have shown improvements and positive effects, none had addressed the best time to implement mainstreaming programs. In this study, students, who had been diagnosed as moderately learning disabled, were selected to represent their respective grade level. Group 1 consisted of 15 students in kindergarten through 2nd grade, and Group 2 consisted of 15 students in grades
