There are many assessments being used but lack of clarity about their purposes. An organized assessment plan is needed to coordinate different initiatives and ensure all elements work together toward the overall goal of student progress. The first step is to examine current assessments being used and discard any not serving a clear need, in order to simplify the system. A valid, reliable and coordinated assessment approach can provide the right data to inform instructional decisions at each level from problem identification to evaluation of plans.

Summative evaluations are conducted to determine if instruction should be maintained, adopted, or adapted. They have two phases: the expert judgement phase examines how well instruction aligns with organizational goals, while the impact phase assesses effects in the workplace. Formative evaluations identify weaknesses to revise instruction, while summative evaluations make decisions about fully developed instruction after learner use.
Teacher action research involves systematic inquiry conducted by teachers and other stakeholders into how their school operates and how they teach to gain insights, make positive changes, and improve student achievement. It has several purposes, including strategic problem solving, increased professional satisfaction and motivation, and improved communication. Key principles of action research include that it aims to improve practice, is collaborative and participatory, focuses on a single case or unit, and is evaluative and reflective in nature. The preparation process involves identifying problems, brainstorming solutions, and creating a plan with timelines and identified resources and obstacles. During action, data is collected before and after implementing the chosen strategy. Results are then analyzed, interpreted, adjustments made to teaching practice, and results shared.
This document discusses various approaches to program evaluation including objective-oriented, expertise-oriented, participant-oriented, and consumer-oriented approaches. It provides examples of each approach and how they may be applied. Strengths and weaknesses of each approach are considered. The document also discusses evaluation methods such as surveys, interviews, and mixed methods. References are provided on related research and examples of evaluation studies.

The document discusses what program evaluation is, including defining it as the systematic collection of information about program activities, characteristics, and outcomes to improve effectiveness and inform decision making. It also outlines the types and purposes of evaluation, how to prepare for and conduct an evaluation by developing a logic model and methodology, and important considerations around data collection, analysis, and ethics.
Course revision is a reality of daily life in higher education. Each semester, faculty review their courses to ensure that they are presenting current concepts and providing proper methods of assessment and interaction for their students. Unfortunately, most review and revision is done during periods of frantic activity just before or during the beginning of the semester. This methodology does not allow for deep consideration of issues and can negatively affect learning for students.
Focused revision is a methodology of review that tasks faculty to review a course over a longer period of time and focus on one pedagogical aspect, such as interaction, content presentation, rubric development, etc. Focusing on a specific aspect of a course, to the exclusion of others, increases the efficacy of that aspect of the course while maintaining the current level of quality on the other aspects. This methodology also changes course revision from a summative process to a formative process and allows for the effective inclusion of student feedback into course design. The process also allows faculty to create efficiencies in their process to maximize time and minimize work. Multiple focused revisions may build on each other to create a synergy between course components, thus creating a more effective learning environment in both the physical and the digital classrooms, leading to increased student engagement and learning.
This document provides guidance on summarizing formative evaluation data from instructional materials to identify weaknesses and need for revision. It discusses analyzing data from one-on-one and small group trials, including learner performance, responses, time and attitudes. Graphs and percentages can display this data. The document recommends examining data on learner entry skills, objectives, instructional strategies, time and procedures to identify problems and guide revision of materials.

This document discusses two approaches to consumer-oriented evaluation: summative and formative. It introduces Consumer Union, an independent nonprofit organization founded in the 1930s to assist consumers. Consumer Union publishes Consumer Reports magazine and website to evaluate products. The document also profiles Michael Scriven, considered a major contributor to consumer-oriented evaluation, and his extensive checklist for evaluating products. Both the checklist and Consumer Union aim to provide consumers with independent and thorough evaluations to make informed purchasing decisions.
This document discusses different approaches to program evaluation. It defines program evaluation as the systematic gathering of information to make decisions about improving and assessing the effectiveness of a curriculum. There are four main approaches discussed: product-oriented, which focuses on achieving goals and objectives; static-characteristic, which uses outside experts; process-oriented, which questions the worth of goals; and decision-facilitation, which gathers information to help administrators make judgments. The document also covers dimensions that shape evaluation perspectives, including the purpose (formative or summative), type of information (process or product), and type of data and analysis (quantitative or qualitative).
This document discusses several models for evaluating training programs and educational courses: Kirkpatrick's four-level model, the Stufflebeam CIPP model, and the Flashlight Triad model. Kirkpatrick's model measures evaluation at four levels: reaction, learning, behavior, and results. The CIPP model evaluates context, inputs, processes, and products. It focuses on formative and summative evaluation to improve programs. The Flashlight Triad model uses triads of technology, activity, and outcomes to develop evaluation questions and gather data to inform modifications. The models provide systematic approaches to measure the effectiveness and efficiency of educational offerings.
This document provides an overview of using analytics to improve student success. It discusses five key components of an analytics model: gather, predict, act, monitor, and refine. Under gather, it explains the importance of collecting various data from multiple sources. Predict involves building models to forecast outcomes based on the gathered data. Act refers to developing data-driven responses and interventions. Monitor is about continuously tracking results in a formative and summative manner. Refine cycles back to improving the other components as needed. The document aims to help conceptualize an analytics approach and strategically apply data to enhance student achievement.

Several components of an analytic model are described, including gathering data, predicting outcomes, taking action, monitoring results, and refining processes. Case studies of other institutions that have implemented analytic systems are presented. Managing expectations for analytic projects is also addressed, as results may not be immediate and adoption can be challenging. The goal is to use data-driven insights to help target support and resources to enhance student performance.
Formative evaluation is used to improve instructional materials and presentations by collecting feedback from subject matter experts, learners, and others. The document outlines various stages of formative evaluation including one-on-one sessions, small group evaluations, and field trials. Data is collected through tests, questionnaires, observations, and interviews to identify errors, understand what is working well and identify opportunities for improvement before finalizing and distributing materials. The goal is to refine materials through an iterative design process incorporating user feedback.
Program evaluation is a systematic process to determine if a program achieved its intended outcomes. It involves defining goals and measurable objectives, designing an evaluation plan to collect relevant data, gathering both quantitative and qualitative data according to the plan, analyzing the results, and reporting findings to stakeholders. The overall process helps assess program effectiveness and inform future planning and implementation.
John Cronin presented on issues administrators need to know about using tests for high-stakes teacher evaluation. He discussed that tests should be one part of a comprehensive evaluation using multiple data sources like observations and participation. He outlined issues like not all subjects have appropriate assessments and tests may not accurately measure all students. Cronin recommended embracing growth measurement formatively in addition to outcomes and using multiple years of student achievement data in evaluation.

The author modified their original action research plan after reviewing steps from a book on conducting action research. The revised plan covers all eight steps from the book but in a different order tailored to their unique campus needs. The plan aims to improve instruction by having faculty disaggregate student data and use it to drive classroom lessons. It involves conducting a needs assessment, understanding current practices, researching effective methods, analyzing data, developing an implementation plan, taking action, monitoring progress, and evaluating results to improve student achievement.
This document discusses thermal duty cycle analysis for hydraulic systems. It describes how a system responds thermally to a periodic work cycle over time. The work cycle represents heat generation levels, while the temperature response is the thermal duty cycle. A lumped model approach shows how temperature follows upper and lower boundaries depending on heat input levels. Computer simulation can also model this response, showing how oil temperature travels within an envelope as it follows the periodic work cycle. Understanding the thermal duty cycle is important for controlling heat in hydraulic systems operating over repeated work patterns.
Here are the key steps to take when planning differentiated instruction based on student data:
1. Analyze available student data to understand your students' readiness levels, interests, and learning preferences.
2. Identify the essential concepts/skills students need to understand based on standards.
3. Plan ways to differentiate the content, process, product, affect, and/or environment for particular students or groups based on their needs, using various instructional strategies.
4. Design formative and summative assessments to check students' understanding throughout and at the end of the unit.
5. Implement the differentiated lessons, making adjustments based on ongoing assessment of student learning and needs.

This document summarizes and compares the cultures of Honduras and El Salvador. Both countries have predominantly Mestizo populations and Spanish as the dominant language. Their cuisines prominently feature corn and beans. While they share some cultural similarities, there are also differences, such as Honduras using the Lempira as currency while El Salvador uses the U.S. dollar. The document advocates for teaching students about Latin American cultures to help them appreciate diversity.
This document provides questions to guide analysis of student growth and achievement data from norm-referenced assessment reports. The questions focus on identifying patterns in student and subgroup growth, determining which students did not meet expected growth or proficiency levels, and digging into details to uncover meaningful achievement gaps. Key questions ask what percentage of students met growth expectations, whether subgroups differ significantly in growth or achievement, and if the school is closing any existing gaps over time. The goal is to use data to document real needs and target improvement efforts accordingly.

This document provides an introduction to program evaluation. It defines evaluation as the systematic collection of information to improve a program's effectiveness and involves asking good questions and using the answers to strengthen the program. The key reasons for conducting evaluations are to help with program design and planning, facilitate program improvement, provide justification and validation to funders, and involve multiple perspectives. The main steps of evaluation outlined are to clarify the program's mission and goals, establish measurable objectives, collect and analyze data, prepare reports on findings, and use that information to improve the program.
This document discusses using data to inform curriculum and instructional decisions to improve student achievement. It defines key terms like core curriculum, core maps, and diary maps. It emphasizes the importance of aligning curriculum, instruction, and assessments to standards and collecting various assessment data. Data should be analyzed by teacher teams to identify strengths, weaknesses, and root causes in order to guide goal setting and improve practices. Benchmark assessments administered periodically can provide useful data for progress monitoring and curriculum development. Software tools are available to track assessment data over time.

The overall goal is to better align goals, measures, and practices across the district to improve student outcomes.
This document summarizes a workshop on evaluating mentoring programs. The goal is to promote skills and confidence in program evaluation. Participants will learn how evaluation relates to quality, potential benefits, evaluation steps and resources. Evaluation is important to improve programs, ensure accountability, use resources effectively and avoid harm. Types of evaluation include process, which examines implementation, and outcome, which examines effects. Challenges to evaluation include time, capacity, and buy-in, but strategies can overcome barriers. A seven-step process is outlined to design an evaluation plan and integrate it into ongoing practices.
Presentation by Russ Little. Provides an overview of Integrated Planning and Advising Systems (IPAS). Demonstrates how the Student Success Plan software and My Academic Plan (MAP) function, and evidence of their effectiveness.
This document outlines techniques for using student voices and data-driven decision making to improve schools. It discusses Photolanguage, an innovative process using black and white photos to stimulate reflection. Data-in-a-Day is also introduced, which involves collecting data from multiple stakeholders over the course of a day to facilitate dialogue about improvement strategies. Guidelines are provided for analyzing data to identify themes, determine program effectiveness, and guide decisions. The goal is for evaluators and schools to work collaboratively to understand challenges and make ongoing improvements based on consensus.
Action research is a systematic process that involves teachers examining their own educational practices. It is conducted by teachers for themselves, focuses on practical issues in their own classrooms or schools, and aims to improve student outcomes and teacher practices through reflection and data analysis in iterative cycles. Some key characteristics of action research include that it is teacher-led, focused on a specific issue or problem, uses multiple data collection methods, and informs future action through an ongoing reflective process.
This document provides an overview of using root cause analysis to determine the underlying causes of noncompliance issues and improve services. It discusses shifting from a compliance focus to performance outcomes, and using root cause analysis to identify and resolve problems rather than just addressing symptoms. A 6-step process is outlined for conducting a root cause analysis: 1) organize a team, 2) define the problem, 3) analyze data, 4) determine the root cause, 5) develop an improvement plan, and 6) evaluate progress. Examples of tools for determining root causes, like the "Five Whys" technique, are also presented.
This document outlines the process of action research, which involves systematically studying a problem or issue in one's own practice. It discusses identifying a focus or problem, developing questions to guide the research, collecting and analyzing data to answer the questions, and sharing results. Some key aspects of action research covered include developing focused research questions, choosing appropriate data collection methods directly related to the questions, and creating a plan for gathering, analyzing, and reporting data. The overall goal of action research is to gain insights to improve one's own teaching practice and student learning.

Using Naviance Data to Drive College & Career ReadinessNaviance
Using Naviance data can help schools focus on college and career readiness outcomes. Schools should (1) use reports to identify careers and colleges to target, (2) focus on measurable outcomes like increasing the percentage of students attending 4-year colleges, and (3) collect relevant career and college planning data from students through activities and surveys to evaluate progress toward goals. Building a data culture requires collaboration across staff and students to make data-driven decisions that improve student success.
School counselors can use data to evaluate programs, measure outcomes, assess cost-effectiveness, make decisions, and monitor student progress. Data identifies needs, describes problems, discovers patterns, and targets interventions. It can convince stakeholders of the need for change, uncover otherwise invisible problems, confirm or discredit assumptions, and guide resource allocation. Focusing on data allows objective, evidence-based conversations and prevents overreliance on standardized tests or quick fixes. School counselors use various types of student achievement, psychosocial, career development, diversity, and school data to implement comprehensive, data-driven programs based on national models and local needs.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
