Campus Budget assignment
Objective:
In EDAD 5384, Resource Management in Education, you have learned about school finance, methods of budgeting, and procedures for resource acquisition and allocation. For the campus budget project (course final), you will demonstrate your mastery of these concepts by developing and coding a plan for addressing an academic problem on your campus. Your evaluation of Texas Academic Performance Report (TAPR) or other longitudinal campus data, along with your approach to strategic problem solving for the challenges described below, will formulate the basis for your budgeting decisions.
Instructions:
Part 1: Identifying and Addressing the Problem
You have been offered a budget of $250,000 specifically for targeted improvement on your campus.
1. Identify longitudinal data to address a targeted area of growth on your campus for either reading or math performance. What longitudinal student data would you use to identify the problem? Provide examples of data used and describe the problem that you are addressing.
2. Identify resources you would use to address the problem. Describe your plan to address the problem. Provide a planning document (including timeline, checkpoints and specific action steps) of your overall plan to address the problem.
3. Describe how you would address your stakeholders to include them in your planning process. Include a sample agenda for a stakeholder meeting.
4. Explain how much of the budget would be allocated to personnel (i.e. tutoring, content specialists) or materials (technology supports or instructional materials for students).
5. Make a chart of how you would code at least 5 expenditures for this task using the 20-digit coding structure provided by TEA.
Part 2: Reporting Progress
Imagine that you made significant progress on this issue. Write a brief follow-up report to be shared at your stakeholder meeting. In your narrative, explain your problem-solving process and your rationale for the budget.

USING EXCELS PIVOT TABLE FUNCTION FOR
VISUAL DATA ANALYSIS OF EXAM RESULTS: A
SUPPLEMENTAL PROCEDURE TO CLASSICAL TEST
THEORY

Anita Reed, Texas A&M University Corpus Christi
ABSTRACT
This paper demonstrates how Excel’s Pivot Table Function can be used to visually examine
electronic exam results. Pivot tables allow users to visually analyze data such as exam results
effectively and efficiently. The paper provides a short discussion of Classical Test Theory statistics
such as Item Difficulty and Item Discrimination. Examples are then presented where exam
questions seemed to perform poorly when analyzed using only the statistical measurements. When
the same examples are explored using visual analysis from Excel’s Pivot Table as a supplement to
the statistical methods the results are better understand.
Keywords: Item Analysis, Assessment, Pivot-Table, Item Discrimination, Item Difficulty,
Classical Test Theory
INTRODUCTION
In this paper a graphical method of analyzing exam question results using Excel’s Pivot
Table function is proposed. We argue that visual analysis of exam data should be used as a
supplement to the traditional statistical approaches of item analysis. Performing detailed item
analyses on exam question responses allows instructors to understand not only how well students
are grasping the material on the exam as a whole but also to understand how well each question is
measuring the student’s knowledge. However, as Crisp & Palmer (2007) and Vyas & Supe (2008)
point out, many instructors are not specialists in educational theory or the discipline of assessment
and are limited in the statistical training needed to analyze assessment results. Therefore, it is
common practice for many instructors to create an exam, grade it, report the students’ scores and
then give the exam no further thought. In other words, validation of exams and their results tend
to be based around ‘academic acumen rather than quantitative evidence’ (Crisp & Palmer, 2007;
Knight, 2006; Price, 2005). Even when exam item analyses are conducted often times the

measures may be misunderstood. Course management systems such as Blackboard now offer exam
item analysis measures such as Item Discrimination and Item Difficulty. These measures can easily
be misinterpreted if instructors are not aware of how they are calculated and their sensitivity to the
data being measured.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
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
3. This is the phase where one does the planning, evaluating, accessing and
organizing of the identified problem that exists within the school. For an example if
there is a problem of poor performance in Mathematics in the school one would
use this phase to firstly state the problem and then plan oh how to go about
conducting the research on what the reasons for that might be.
One usually would do this using a word document
BI Ntombela_201105054
5. This is the phase where on gathers data and conducts research on a given topic
In the example given in phase one of the problem with mathematics performance
one would then conducts surveys, interviews, questionnaires and other data
gathering methods that relate to the identified problem
This process can be done using excel to create graphs and charts of the findings
BI Ntombela_201105054
7. In this phase one analyses and states the findings from the research and provides
also reports on what course of action to employ
In the abovementioned example this would mean that one would state what the
research conducted indicated the causes of poor mathematics performance is
And then suggest how this problem can be dealt with to improve performance
