    Book SynopsisScales for Identifying Gifted Students (SIGS) is the most comprehensive observational instrument available for identifying gifted students ages 5–18. Used as part of a comprehensive process for identifying gifted children, the SIGS offers schools an instrument with extensive statistical and research support. This standardized, norm-referenced instrument is completed by teachers or parents and provides an effective method for identifying gifted children. The SIGS consists of two rating forms that can be used together or independently (a Home Rating Scale and a School Rating Scale). The SIGS is composed of seven scales: General Intellectual Ability, Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Creativity, and Leadership. Each contains 12 items that are rated using a Likert-type scale. The items were chosen from a comprehensive body of research concerning the characteristics of gifted students. Nationally normed and standardized based on more than 65,000 completed scales and 250,000 item responses, the new SIGS-2 offers powerful statistical support for using the SIGS-2 as a tool for increased equity in gifted and talented programs. The SIGS offers schools several key benefits. The rating scale: is easily completed by teachers and parents, identifies ability in seven areas critical to meeting the federal definition of gifted and talented, features separate teacher and parent forms, is free of gender and ethnic group bias, has comprehensive and advanced statistical support, and is standardized and nationally normed.

    Open University Press Assessment for Learning without Limits

    7 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis book explores assessment practices that offer an enlightening and enabling view of all learners. Following the demise of national curriculum levels, the book embraces a unique opportunity to change how children are assessed. Rather than simply replacing the old structure with a new one, it focuses instead on enabling children to learn in meaningful ways so that assessment becomes a tool for improvement rather than judgment by building on two influential research studies, Learning without Limits (Hart et al 2004) and Creating Learning without Limits (Swann et al 2012). Inspired by a relentless focus on every childâs capacity to learn, the book explores what can be achieved when we remove limits on learning. School leaders and teachers, struggling against practices that seeks to define, label and rank, explore the opportunity to view assessment reform as a means of reducing inequity through âlearning without limitsâ principles of collaboration, professioTable of ContentsIntroductionChapter One: Building a professional learning culture of trust Chapter Two: Learning to Listen: Finding a way through for every childChapter Three: A language for thinking: Assessment through dialogueChapter Four: Beyond differentiation: Avoiding labellingChapter Five: Assessing writingChapter Six: Reporting to families: Sharing assessment without levels or gradesChapter Seven: A Whole- school approach to assessment Chapter Eight: Principled innovative leadership for transformability

    Book SynopsisThis book is an effort to review the theoretical framework for the use of alternative assessment in EFL contexts and provides a collection of empirical research on alternative assessment for different groups of EFL learners in various classrooms. The aim of the book is not to simply review the past literature on alternative assessment in EFL, rather it aims to evaluate current language policy reforms, in which opportunities for alternative assessment are incorporated. Recent developments and possibilities for alternative assessment implementation in specific language skills are encouraged. The book provides empirical findings specific to certain sub-skills using alternative assessment strategies in EFL. Both the theoretical framework, and the insights and implications from the empirical research described in the book will make alternative assessment more accessible to language teachers in the most relevant and practical way.Table of ContentsFor more information, please visit our website at:https://novapublishers.com/shop/using-alternative-assessment-to-improve-efl-learners-learning-achievement-from-theory-to-practice/

    Book SynopsisAcademic assertiveness is an essential capability that is required of students who wish to achieve academic and professional success. Written for students who are aiming to achieve college success, Achieving Success through Academic Assertiveness: Real life strategies for today's higher education students focuses on the challenges that learners face and encourages positive actions that support triumphs in learning situations. Jennifer Moon creatively explores the importance of this emerging topic and how assertiveness is linked to the process of learning and overall student development, critical thinking and academic achievement. Trade Review"Jennifer Moon, senior lecturer (research) at Bournemouth University in the Centre for Excellence in Media Practice, has written a very useful book for today’s higher education student on the topic of academic assertiveness. This text has, as its primary goal, being a useful guide for students who seek academic success, both socially and in the classroom, though using techniques presented in the book on academic assertiveness."—Review of Higher EducationUS:Ana Marie Cancelli Coastal Carolina Community College (College Student Success Facilitator)„"I strongly recommend this for publication. I find it very timely and very necessary. My institution chooses texts by committee and I would be more than happy to put this text into the mix of texts to consider"„I believe college student success courses could use it as a primary text and I think it would work well as a supplemetal text in English 111"Q. Also, I wanted to know what your thoughts are about the format and the last section Part 3 for Instructors teaching this course"I thought the format was just fine."I am used to receiving a supplemental instructor's manual, but if it would make the text more cost effective, I think a 3rd section for instructors would be just fine." Kristen Thomas, University of Akron, Academic AdvisorQ: . If the work is intended as a textbook, For which course(s) would it be most appropriate? "course most appropriate : Student Success Seminar b) supplemental text c) currently we are using "Becoming a Master Student" by David Ellis 2006"„OVERALL REACTION : a) I really like the concept, especially utilizing examples/scenarios which would lead to great teaching discussions. b) I think there is a place for a book like this c) I would call it "leading edge" because I am not familiar with one that is out there that deals with this topic. d) The potential shelf life 2-3 years maximum before a revision would be needed. I like the timeliness of this information because of the type of student coming to college""Yes I recommend the book and our committee that selects textbooks for our Student Success Seminar course would definitely consider using it.""All college students can benefit from this book, it offers them a fresh new perspective, one that shows them they can control their destiny if they are willing to learn important communication and "life skills" which are essential in the pursuit of higher education."Babrbara Doyle, Arkansas State University, Director of Assessement"This text approaches topics covered in most freshman orientation courses or study skills courses.""The topic is not affected by the passage of time. The material is not prone to become outdated. The tips and strategies provided would be timeless information for college students 50 years ago and 50 years in the future"UK:Kate Exley:University of Leeds" The rationale for such a book is convincing and there appears to be a growing need for study skills and study guidance books that can give a wide range of students speedy orientation to a more independent mode of study."Phil Race: Leeds Metroplitan University (Areas of specialty Assessment, learning and teaching in higher education) "Writing style seems fit-for-purpose – friendly and stimulating. An important aspect of higher education is developing transferable skills and competences to serve students throughout their careers, whether they go on to be academics, researchers, or professionals. Among these skills, ‘academic assertiveness’ is important.

    Book SynopsisThe subject of accountability warrants thoughtful and dispassionate attention in today''s educational environment. The accountability and school reform policies that are put in place today will have wide-ranging and long-lasting consequences for all of the nation''s learners. This volume stems from the 2003 Educational Testing Service Invitational Conference that convened leading scholars and practitioners from education, psychology, economics, statistics, and public policy to discuss the important topic of measurement and accountability. The book begins with a broad look at where measurement and research have been and then moves into an examination of technical and methodological issues in accountability systems, closing learner achievement gaps, teacher quality issues, econometric perspectives, and finally, the all-important matter of aligning curriculum, standards, and assessment. The chapters cover all significant aspects of the current accountability scene, with careful Trade Review"The collection of papers edited by Carol Ann Dwyer, a distinguished scholar at the Educational Testing Service (ETS), and published under the title Measurement and Research in the Accountability Era, provide a sample of the contributions to measurement and education of this emerging culture of objectivity.
