Great question! I would like to tack onto your question: What are good assessment practices? We've heard from some folks about what teachers would need in training - is that what "good assessment practices" are? Or is there more? Should we list out some pieces? While we're responding to Kerry's question about what, if anything, takes place in your program, district, or state, think about what constitutes the "good" part. marie cora NIFL Assessment List Moderator ps: you can also go to the archives and see any of the posts entitled Teacher Qualifications in Assessment - which partially responds to the above questions. >From: klyon@alphaplus.ca >Reply-To: nifl-assessment@nifl.gov >To: Multiple recipients of list <nifl-assessment@literacy.nifl.gov> >Subject: [NIFL-ASSESSMENT:462] Re: Training in good assessment practice >Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2004 11:25:01 -0400 (EDT) > > > >We have recently completed a community snapshot of assessment practices in >the >Literacy and Basic Skills field in Ontario, Canada, and one of the points >that >continued to come up was that although practitioners were responsible for >developing, administering and evaluating initial, ongoing and final >assessment, >there was very little training available and even less province wide common >assessment training initiatives. >I would like to know how other jurisdictions are training practitioners in >good >assessment practices and what types of ongoing training initiatives are >there to >support practitioners? > >AlphaPlus is working on a website to help support practitioners in Ontario, >and >I will post the link when it is launched, but if anyone has any websites >that >they find useful for support good assessment practice, please post them. > >Cheers, >Kerry > >=========================================================== >Kerry Lyon >Field Consultant for the Anglophone Community >Centre AlphaPlus Centre >http://alphaplus.ca >======================================== > > _________________________________________________________________ Tax headache?
