STEM Indicators: Implementing a Model for Reporting and Research on State Assessment Policies for K-12 Science and Mathematics Education

该项目是为了响应亲爱的同事来信《监测K-12 STEM教育成功进展的指标》而资助的。该项目将侧重于指标12：国家？使用评估来衡量科学和数学学科的核心概念和实践。该项目将开发一个门户网站，通过提交州政府提交的材料，补充每个州的相关信息？S在数学和科学方面的评估。该门户网站将作为指标的基础，使STEM教育领域的主要利益攸关方能够跨州和随时间跟踪和报告这些重要的评估政策。该项目将在之前资助的试点项目的基础上，与调查研究人员和网络开发人员团队合作，开发一个门户网站。项目工作人员将预先填充支持门户网站的数据库，其中包含有关国家数学和科学考试及其与国家S标准的一致性的公开信息。他们将用从各州收集的调查数据来补充这些数据--评估主任S以及州数学和科学监督员。门户网站将允许用户考虑比对信息，并在不同州和不同时间进行比较。

The project is funded in response to the Dear Colleague Letter Indicators for Monitoring Progress Toward Successful K- 12 STEM Education. The project will focus on Indicator 12: States? use of assessments that measure the core concepts and practices of science and mathematics disciplines. The project will develop a web portal of relevant information, augmented by state submissions, about each state?s assessments in mathematics and science. This portal would serve as a basis for an indicator that would allow key stakeholders in STEM education to both track and report, across states and over time, these important assessment policies. The project will work with a team of survey researchers and web developers, building upon a previously funded pilot project, to develop a web portal. The project staff will pre-populate the database supporting the web portal with publicly available information about state mathematics and science tests and their alignment to the state?s standards. They will supplement these data with survey data collected from each state?s assessment director, as well as state mathematics and science supervisors. The web portal will allow users to consider alignment information and make comparisons across states and over time.
