How schools and district teams can use action research
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Using Data To Assess Your Reading Program discusses in detail how schools and district teams can use action research to evaluate elementary students' progress in reading, analyze the quality of instruction in reading and writing skills, and make changes that improve student performance. Written by the director of the Phoenix Alliance, an institution that aids school, district, and state staff in the study of the effects of curriculum and instruction on student learning, Using Data To Assess Your Reading Program covers studying teacher or school-assigned indicators of student performance, results of norm-referenced and criterion-referenced tests, assessing dynamic aspects of one's reading curriculum, and more. A CD-ROM with downloadable versions of Microsoft Excel (a leading spreadsheet software) table shells presented throughout the book, which may be freely used as templates or distributed througout one's school, rounds out this expertly created guide to both gathering raw data about student literacy, accurately evaluating it, and determining what most needs to be done.
