Proposed Action The literature analysis presents possible solutions addressing how PLC’s focused on assessment data can affect student achievement. These solutions were considered in relations to a cyber environment and three were selected for the research study. These solutions include: 1) teachers meeting regularly with content-based PLC groups, 2) a focus on the D3M framework in the PLC environment to drive instructional decisions, and 3) teachers developing shared goals to improve student…

Article Critique One Main Idea W. James Popham, a former UCLA Professor, argues that standardized achievement tests should not be used to measure the effectiveness of a school or its teachers, even though the tests were and are still often used for such a purpose. Popham believes that while these tests roughly measure a student’s strengths and weakness and can provide useful information to both teachers and parents, they are, however, inadequate evaluating tools to gauge a school’s…

problem, which is the increasing use of high-stakes test as instruments of educational procedure.

This is because of the possibility of false positives. Students at Ānuenue do not start English until fifth grade. Therefore, the students might not understand the questions and/or incorrectly write the answers, despite knowing the content. This would lead to students incorrectly being identified as having a disability. If I was to take the test in Hawaiian, I would do terribly because I am not fluent in the language. The same holds true for many students at Ānuenue. Moreover, the school cannot…

Intelligence tests measure the potential cognitive capabilities of an individual (Gregory, 2011). Achievement tests help measure an individual’s achievements such as how he or she mastered skills and acquired knowledge resulting from schooling and/or training that individual has received (Gregory, 2011).

entitled “Appraisal Procedures for Counselors and Helping Professionals” was focused on testing and assessments used in helping professions. The construct of intelligence is largely focused on “individual differences in mental ability” (Drummond, 2004, p. 124) and has over the years had several models postulated in an attempt to theorize its facets. Some of the more prominent models purported includes Thurstone’s Multifactor theory, Vernon’s Hierarchical theory, Guilford’s Model of…
