What is an indication of the IQR (Interquartile range)? - (answers)It gives you an
indication of how much the data values "stretch" from the center of the data.
IQR = Q3 - Q1.
The IQR contains the center 50 percent of the data.
What is an advantage of criterion reference assessment over norm-refernce? -
(answers)An advantage of criterion-referenced tests over norm-referenced tests
is their diagnostic, placement, and remediation use. Teachers in Florida are
expected to analyze student performance data to address remediation needs of
individual students.
Formative assessment - (answers)occurs before and during instruction. It is critical
to teachers' instructional decision making. Formative assessments include
screening, diagnostic, progress monitoring, and various informal classroom
assessments.
Summative assessment - (answers)occurs after instruction has taken place at the
end of an instructional unit, regular grading period, or school year. Summative
assessments include outcome assessments and report cards.
Screening assessments - (answers)are administered to all students. BOY (
baseline), MOY (midyear), EOY (end of the year).
,2
Diagnostic assessment - (answers)are administered (usually individually) to
selected students for the purpose of identifying learning strengths and
weaknesses with critical skills and concepts.
Progress monitoring assessments - (answers)are regularly administered (that is,
dynamic, ongoing) assessments used to evaluate students' academic progress for
the purpose of making data-based decisions regarding instruction and
interventions.
When should progress monitor assessment should be used? - (answers)Progress
monitoring should occur routinely (weekly, biweekly, or monthly) and use valid
and reliable assessments that are sensitive to small changes in student academic
performance.
Informal classroom assessment - (answers)Informal classroom assessments
include teacher observations, anecdotal records, classroom questioning,
checklists, guided practice, student activities, portfolios and work samples,
projects and products, teacher-made quizzes and tests, and homework. Progress
reports.

diagnostic, progress monitoring, informal classroom assessment.
What does reliability refferest to? - (answers)Reliability refers to the consistency
of a measurement over time and repeated measurements. If a teacher gives
alternate forms of the same test periodically over several months and the
students' performance scores remain relatively the same, the test has reliability.
Validity - (answers)has to do with whether the assessment instrument measures
what it is supposed to measure. Validity can be determined by comparing a test
score against some separate or independent observation of whatever is being
measured. If a teacher wants to measure math skills, the test must measure math
skills, not reading skills.
Normed-reference test - (answers)norm-referenced test (such as the National
Assessment of Educational Progress) is one that assesses students by comparing
their performance to that of a norm group.
Usually, the norm group is representative of students of the same age or grade
level as the test-takers.
