Science Classroom Assessment and Teaching Strategies

9355569 Crow参加了一系列为期三周的研究所和八个学年的后续会议，来自休斯顿独立学区中学的45名领导科学教师组成的核心将在教学实践、学生评估、测试和测量统计以及重要的相关科学内容方面获得新技能。然后，这一核心小组将担任研讨会负责人，并作为其学校和地区同龄人的人力资源。这一为期三年的项目的目标是培养有评估能力、有学科能力的教师，他们能够对科学进行真实的评估，使用最佳的科学教学实践，并提供实现当前科学改革所规定的目标所需的课堂环境，如2061项目、范围、顺序和协调以及正在形成的国家标准。该项目使用一个三部分模型，将学生的期望目标、教师的行为(包括评估)和实现这些目标所必需的学生角色直接联系起来。与这一模式交织在一起的是教师需要理解目标科学概念和相关的统计测试测量。该项目包括一个研究部分，以评估其有效性及其对学生学习的影响。

9355569 Crow Participating in a series of three-week institutes and eight academic year follow-up meetings, a core of 45 leader science teachers from middle schools in the Houston Independent School District will gain new skills in instructional practices, student assessment, test and measurement statistics, and important related science content. This core group will then serve as workshop leaders and as a human resource for their peers in their schools and district. The goal of this three-year project is to produce assessment literate, subject matter competent teachers who can implement authentic assessment of science, use the best science teaching practices and provide the classroom environment needed to achieve the goals specified by current science reforms such as Project 2061, Scope Sequence and Coordination and the emerging national standards. The project uses a three part model that directly links the desired goals for students, the behavior of the teacher (including assessment), and the role of the student necessary to achieve these goals. Intertwined with this model is the need for teachers to understand the targeted science concepts and relevant statistical test measurements. The project includes a research component to assess its effectiveness and its impact on student learning.
