"Purposeful Assessment" is a practical tool for school administrators. Using the Miller Guidance Assessment Hierarchy, administrators are given the rationale for choosing assessments and organizing them by purpose.
The Assessment Hierarchy clearly identifies gaps and overlaps in assessment practices. The result is an efficient assessment plan that saves precious district resources and minimizes the impact on instruction.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

5. New Brunswick Assessment
Program (NBAP)
Mission Statement
The mission for the Provincial Assessment and Evaluation Branch is to inform all
stakeholders of student achievement by constructing valid, educationally beneficial,
evaluations at critical points in the system.
The purpose of the New Brunswick Assessment Program (NBAP) is to:
determine if students demonstrate the skills and concepts outlined in New
Brunswick curriculum documents;
report provincially on how well students have achieved provincial standards at
given points in their schooling;
assist schools, districts, and the province in monitoring student learning and;
coordinate the administration of national and international assessments.
6. Current Assessment Program
•Pan-Canadian Assessment Program (PCAP) as well as the
Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA).
•Scientific literacy
•Administering assessments as single units.
•Feedback for high schools.
•The current regime of provincial assessments
•French Language Programs
8. Recommendation # 1
• To create a New Brunswick Balanced
Assessment Framework document
incorporating assessment as a holistic concept
from formative to benchmarking to large scale
and to develop a systemic implementation plan
that includes accountability measures.
9. Balanced Assessment
• No single assessment approach is 'better' than another
as each serves a slightly different role.
• All types of assessment must be planned with its
purpose in mind.
Standardized testing, particularly, is justified as one resource to aid learning
and should not be mistaken for a comprehensive verdict on learning or school
quality. ~ Peter Grimmett & Paul Shaker
10.
11.
12. Recommendation #2
To realign the Provincial Assessment Program to
correspond with PCAP and PISA as well as respond
to the current challenges.

Grade 12 French Oral Proficiency Certification
The existing Grade 12 will become mandatory for all students in French Immersion.
20. ACCOMMODATIONS
AND EXEMPTIONS
Provincial assessments are
compulsory for all students enrolled in
New Brunswick schools.
In certain circumstances, it is
necessary and appropriate for
students to be exempted from
participating in provincial assessments
if the testing format does not allow
demonstration of their learning, even
with accommodations.
Exemptions fall into three broad
categories: academic,
social/emotional and unforeseen.
Typically, academic exemptions are
sought for students following an
individualized Special Education Plan
(SEP-I). Students who are exempt
due to an SEP-I should be assessed
on those goals that are set out in their
Special Education Plan(SEP).
21. ACCOMMODATIONS
Accommodations are those supports,
methods and practices that are used
in the classroom enabling a student to
participate as independently as
possible.
There are many ways in which
accommodations can be used to
support students when they are
participating in a provincial
assessment. Within the context of
provincial assessments, students may
require either universal or justifiable
accommodation.
For the purpose of large scale
assessment, accommodations are
alterations that do not jeopardize
the integrity or content of the test,
yet give students an equal
opportunity to demonstrate what
they know and can do as part of the
assessment process.
22. Types of Accommodations
UNIVERSAL
Universal accommodations are
those strategies, technologies or
adjustments that enable a student
to reach prescribed outcomes and
can be used at the teacher’s or
student’s discretion. Universal
accommodations do not
necessitate an SEP or prior
approval for provincial
assessments.
JUSTIFIABLE
Justifiable accommodations
are documented strategies,
technologies or adjustments
without which the student would
not be able to demonstrate
knowledge. These
accommodations are
documented within the SEP and
require prior approval to be
accessed during provincial
assessments.
23. EXEMPTIONS
In certain circumstances, it is not
appropriate for students to participate
in provincial assessments. Any
decision to exempt a student from any
provincial assessment must be made
in collaboration with the student’s
parent(s) or guardian(s).
Within the context of provincial
assessments, students may require
an exemption for academic,
social/emotional or unforeseen
reasons.
24. Types of Exemptions
ACADEMIC
The student has been identified with
exceptionalities and has a current
individualized Special Education Plan
(SEP-I) that identifies the need for the
requested exemption in the assessed
subject area.
Typically, these students are following
an SEP-I and are not expected to
attain the curricular outcomes and
standards. This has been
communicated to parent(s) or
guardian(s) and an alternate
evaluation of progress has been
determined within the SEP-I.
Typically, this constitutes the largest
category of exemption requests.
SOCIAL/EMOTIONAL
If the student has been identified with a
significant social, emotional or behavioural
impairment and cannot be accommodated
by such means as alternate location, extra
time, etc., an exemption may be sought.
Typically, these students are following an
Individual Behaviour Support Plan (IBSP)
and are not expected to attain the curricular
outcomes and standards at their grade
level. This has been communicated to
parent(s) or guardian(s) and an alternate
evaluation of progress has been determined
within the IBSP.
.
UNFORESEEN
In the event of serious illness,
bereavement or other exceptional and
unforeseen circumstance, an on-the-
spot exemption can be granted.
These situations require that the
director of education be contacted
immediately..
27. Standards for Educational and
Psychological Testing
The Standards for Educational and
Psychological Testing, 2008 edition are a
collaborative publication from the American
Educational Research Association, the
American Psychological Association and the
National Council on Measurement in
Education. The intent of the Standards is to
promote the sound and ethical use of tests
and to provide a basis for evaluating the
quality of testing practices.
The New Brunswick Assessment and
Evaluation Branch adheres to the Standards
when developing, administering, scoring and
analysing large scale assessments within the
scope of our mandate.
Operational Standards
29. The Assessment Cycle
There are four (4) stages within the
overall Assessment Cycle for each of
the 13 assessments; the (1)
Development Stage, (2)
Administration Stage, (3) Data Stage
and the (4) Communication Stage.
Within each of the stages, there are
several phases which require the
expertise from a variety of staff.
Each of these stages require strict
adherence to the Standards for
Educational and Psychological
Testing and the Principles for Fair
Student Assessment in Canada..
These standards and principles will
be referenced where appropriate.
