Mrs. Murphy not only stated that she supported the implementation of both ideas, but also that effective teachers should simply do what is best for their students with or without a…

A third group of personnel who would benefit would be those individuals responsible for providing group treatment programs. As the overcrowding situation is lessened, there would be the opportunity for larger meeting spaces, hopefully resulting in a potential rise in group participation rates. If an alternative to incarceration proves viable, perhaps these services could be offered to those populations outside of the grounds of the prison and would help to give the individuals the social context…

They provide teachers with data that informs curriculums, instruction and ultimately additional assessment. The many assessments that teachers use to guide their practices are assessed using a variety of methods. When giving students a performance based assessment, the appropriate grading style is a rubric. Arter and McTighe (2001) suggest “the best…

Something that is not considered in a PVAAS score is the demographics of the clientele. Students with a low socio economic status are historically shown to receive lower scores due to lack of resources and other factors. Students in special education also do not perform as well because of their learning disabilities. ESL students are also at a disadvantage because understanding material in English is difficult for them. These students are not taken into as much consideration when evaluating a…
