October 24th

Good Evening Everyone,

I trust you had a wonderful weekend. As discussed in class our next class session will be an online class session in which you will be taking a Test that covers chapter 1-5. Please be sure to inform your study buddies who were absent from the last class.

I have uploaded the PowerPoints for chapter 3-4-5.

Our discussion for this week:

Chapter 4 described three types of studies that could be used to support a validity argument focused on construct-related evidence.  Briefly, how could a simple intervention study be implemented by a classroom teacher to support the validity of an inference about a particular test’s ability to accurately gauge a teacher’s instructional success?

I will have 6 videos nested in your toolbox along with the PowerPoints. Please review them all in preparation for the Test. Be sure to read all chapters. 1-2-3-4-5

Note:

1.       The Test will be opened at 5:00 pm Friday October 17^th 2014
