Northwest Evaluation Association, 2011
Having the right data is a key component of individualizing instruction for each child. The Northwest Evaluation Association (NWEA) has the ability to measure a student's achievement and academic growth, independent of grade, across time. From the insight provided with Measures of Academic ProgressĀ® (MAPĀ®) and its reports, educators can compare…

OECD Publishing (NJ1), 2012
Are students more engaged and do they perform better in science if their school encourages them to work on science projects, participate in science fairs, belong to a science-related club or go on science-related field trips--in addition to teaching them the mandatory science curriculum? To find out, PISA (Programme for International Student…

Heller, Joan I.; Shinohara, Mayumi; Miratrix, Luke; Hesketh, Sophia Rabe; Daehler, Kirsten R. – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2010
Few elementary school teachers command a science background sufficient to offer children early and sustained opportunities to develop an understanding of science concepts, and facility with scientific modes of reasoning. This four-year, NSF-funded study was designed to investigate how and to what extent particular combinations of science content…

Donovan, Jenny; Lennon, Melissa; O'Connor, Gayl; Morrissey, Noni – Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (NJ1), 2008
In 2003 the first nationally-comparable science assessment was designed, developed and carried out under the auspices of the national council of education ministers, the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs (MCEETYA). In 2006 a second science assessment was conducted and, for the first time nationally, the…
