Trends and Opportunities in K-12 Assessment: The New Era of ESSAEric Skuse
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) transfers decision making power around K-12 assessment and school accountability policy to states, opening up the possibilities for new measurement methods of student progress like social & emotional learning (SEL) and project-based learning (PBL).
This independent study, conducted by EdNexus Advisors, LLC, was sponsored by School Improvement Network to better understand each state policy on providing and funding meaningful teacher professional development tied to teacher evaluations. Further states were surveyed on the state relationship with districts on requiring or recommending professional development and to what extent districts were providing professional development tied to state mandated evaluations.

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.

- Financial Performance
- Student Success
- Policies & Best Practices
The Salient approach is to enable executives, administrators, professors, teachers, advisors and others to
use information interactively and independently, to see with greater speed and in greater depth where,
when and on whom investments are having measurable effect and how costs can be reduced without
affecting quality of service. Decision-makers can act timelier, repeat practices and investments that work
and eliminate those that don’t. To achieve this end, Salient offers technology that enables non-technical
knowledge workers to use intelligence within the context of their everyday responsibilities without need
of expert resources. They can inquire easily and dynamically, according to needs of the moment, evaluate
history and progress against plans down to fine details, and then act in time to affect outcomes. With all
data refreshed each day, it becomes both possible and practical to closely monitor the effects of change,
however small. The end point is much more precise control over allocations of financial and human
resources. Create an organized source of performance information: Salient Education K-12 Performance

Academic Performance
2. Measure academic performance from highest levels down to individual performers—school performance,
curriculum performance, teachers’ performance and student progress. Academic StatusHow many
students are in good standing? How many are at risk? See how numbers have changed since last semester
or any other time. Instantly list students and drill in for a closer look at course load, financial information,
grades, etc.
1. Select any categories to see totals. Approximately 26% of students are in some type of academic
trouble, while 73% of students are in good standing or better.
2. Examine any group of students. Last semester, 287 students received academic warnings. A cohort
study can be performed in seconds to focus on those students.
3. Did academic performance improve? Of those 287 students who received the academic warnings, 95
are now in good standing. Click. It is essential to know what is being invested and how it affects each
student.

How effective are remedial courses at bringing students up to speed? Basic Writing Skills is a remedial
course designed to prepare students for Academic Writing 1.
1. In the Fall semester, 250 students took Basic Writing Skills. Did it help those students?
2. Non-technical users can easily select criteria for cohort analyses. This study examines students who
took Basic Writing Skills in the Fall.
3. What happened next semester? Of the 250 students, 121 enrolled in Academic Writing 1, and received
an average grade of
1.2. A quick comparison with the original view shows that the average grade for these students is lower
than the overall grade for Academic Writing 1. Fifty-eight students retook Basic Writing Skills, and the
remaining students didn't take any English course. Course Effectiveness Academic Performance

Tutoring benefits students taking some courses more than other courses. But which? Compare results for
groups of students who did and did not receive tutoring.
2. Switch to a different cohort to view GPA by course for students without any tutoring.
3. For some courses, students who received tutoring performed better than students without any tutoring.
For example, tutoring appeared to help the students taking Arithmetic (GPA of 2.2 versus 1.9).

1. An exception test identifies students who have been absent more than 5 times this semester. The
criteria are completely customizable.
2. A graph shows the percentage of students in each category who were absent more than 5 times this

Correlate student participation in activities with academic performance. A Scattergram shows GPA and
number of extracurricular activities for each student.
1. Spot trends in academic performance associated with extracurricular activities. This view indicates that
students enrolled in one or more extracurricular activities have a higher GPA.
2. Create lists of the students with no extracurricular activities and the students with at least one
extracurricular activity.
3. A comparison of these two groups shows that the average GPA for students enrolled in extracurricular
activities is higher (3.1 versus 2.4).
4. Demographic Intelligence
Incorporate census data and family information: age, income, employment, language, ethnicity, etc.
Instantly see trends and areas of concern. Track information about parents siblings, income, and more, for

For example, how does parents' marital status affect GPA?
1. A graph shows changes in the number of students with married parents, single parents, divorced
parents, etc. over time.
2. View any measure. Here we'll switch to a view of GPA for each category. A look at GPA over time

with married parents (dark blue line), while average GPA has declined for separated, remarried, and
divorced groups (green, yellow, and light blue lines).Family Information
