Title:Toward informative assessment and a culture of evidence: Results from strengthening pre-collegiate education in community colleges
Source:http://www.carnegiefoundation.org/dynamic/publi...
Date:2009
Organization:Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching
Short Description:This report discusses the myriad ways in which colleges participating in the SPECC initiative have used both traditional measures of student performance, such as class grades and course completion, as well as more innovative forms of assessment and data collection to improve pedagogical practice and to enhance student learning.
Annotation:Strengthening Pre-collegiate Education in Community Colleges (SPECC) was a three year multisite action research project directed by The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Undertaken with The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation as funding partner, the program focused on teaching and learning in basic skills mathematics and English at 11 California community colleges. This report discusses the myriad ways in which the participating colleges have used both traditional measures of student performance, such as class grades and course completion, as well as more innovative forms of assessment and data collection to improve pedagogical practice and to enhance student learning.
