Performance Assessment Links in Science (PALS): An On-Line Library

QUELMALZ 9730651这个项目建立在这样一个概念之上：各州、学区和教师需要创新的方法来共享模范评估资源，合作开发新的评估资源，并了解基于标准的绩效评估的使用如何能够推动系统各级的教育改革。该项目是SRI和首席州立学校官员委员会(CCSSO)之间的合作，将开发一种类型的电子图书馆--一个在线的、基于标准的科学成绩评估互动资源库。具体地说，该项目有两个目标：1.从多个来源开发一个两级的K-12科学在线绩效评估资源库。其中一层将是一个有密码保护、安全可靠的问责制评估池，第二层将供教师和专业发展组织使用。2.确定、研究和评估两级PAL使用的政策、实施模式和技术质量要求的有效性。

Quellmalz 9730651 This project builds on the notion that states, districts, and teachers need innovative approaches to sharing exemplary assessment resources, collaborating on the development of new ones, and understanding how the use of standards-based performance assessments can advance education reform at all levels of the system. This project, a collaboration between SRI and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) will develop a type of electronic library--an on-line, standards-based interactive resource bank of science performance assessments. Specifically, the project has two goals: 1. To develop a two-tiered on-line performance assessment resource library for K-12 science from multiple sources. One tier will be a password-protected, secure accountability pool of assessments and the second will be for use by teachers and professional development organizations. 2. To identify, study, and evaluate the effectiveness of policies, implementation models, and technical quality requirements for the use of the two tiers of PALS.
