Two Steps Forward, Three Steps Back: The Stormy History Of Reading Comprehension Assessment, Loukia K. Sarroub, P. David Pearson

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications

After closely examining the recent history of reading comprehension assessment in the United States, we have concluded that although both the forms of assessment and the key players in the assessment process have changed in significant ways, the functions of assessment have remained relatively constant. In terms of function, we have always used, and continue to use, assessment tools to evaluate programs, to hold particular groups accountable for some specified set of outcomes (though it may seem that that is all we do these days), to inform instruction, either for individuals or whole classes, and finally, to determine who gains …

Five female and five male individuals ranging in age from 25-40, having been identified with learning disabilities, participated in this …

Community Service, Miriam Murphy

International Service Learning & Community Engagement

The educational philosophy of the international baccalaureate organisation stresses the development of the whole person. Its concerns extend beyond the assumed focus on academic and intellectual achievement and encourages responsible citizenship in the world outside the classroom. Community Service enables students to increase their awareness of the world around them by providing them with first hand experience. Students grow emotionally and socially as they widen their horizons and partake in activities that may be new to them. Community service fosters an altruistic attitude; increases the students' sense of responsibility and self-esteem and gives insight into different social patterns and ways …

Assessment In Literature-Based Reading Programs: Have We Kept Our Promises?, Tanja Bisesi, Devon Brenner, Mary Mcvee, P. David Pearson, Loukia K. Sarroub

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Faculty Publications

We have made incredible progress, both conceptually and practically, in the development of literacy assessment tools that appropriately reflect the goals and activities of literature-based reading programs. This progress, however, has not come without obstacles, many of which have not yet been (and may never be) fully negotiated. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the "promises" we as a literacy assessment community have made to ourselves, as we implement new forms of assessment for new purposes, and to critically evaluate our progress toward keeping those promises. We begin by briefly describing recent shifts in literacy …
