This book provides a detailed examination of K-12 science assessment: looking specifically at what should be measured and how to measure it. Along with reading and mathematics, the testing of science is a key component of NCLB "it is part of the national effort to establish challenging academic content standards and develop the tools to measure student progress toward higher achievement. The book will be a critical resource for states that are designing and implementing science assessments to meet the 2007-2008 requirements of NCLB. In addition to offering important information for states, Systems for State Science Assessment provides policy makers, local schools, teachers, scientists, and parents with a broad view of the role of testing and assessment in science education.ScienceStudy and teaching (Elementary)United StatesEvaluationScienceStudy and teaching (Secondary)United StatesEvaluationScienceUnited StatesExaminations, questions, etcScienceStudy and teaching (Elementary)Evaluation.ScienceStudy and teaching (Secondary)Evaluation.Science507.1/073Wilson Mark R1054071Bertenthal Meryl W1811768National Research Council (U.S.).Committee on Test Design for K-12 Science Achievement.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960399303321Systems for state science assessment4363848UNINA
