Beta Testing of Teacher NETS•T assessment
Update: Each districts has been provided 40 seats for this beta test. They are available within the Learning.com system. The closing date is Feb. 26. These are free assessments and results will be shared with you, but be aware that the test has not been calibrated by psychometricians yet.
We may have an opportunity to beta test a tech literacy assessment based on the NETS*T 2008. It would mean participating in a test during February with reports available in April. On the wiki you can locate resources shared by Learning.com about this beta test (includes info, faqs and a sample teacher report).
Conducting this assessment with our educators would support the evaluation of goal 2:
Build educator capacity to transform their practice by providing access to high quality professional development in order to prepare educators to to meet NETS•T and NM Teacher Competencies
If our project was accepted to participate, participating educators would complete one assessment with portfolio between Feb 1-15. A preparatory WebEx training session would be provided in advance between Jan. 27 and Feb. 2. The time needed to complete the beta assessment is approximately two class periods.
As the NETS•T assessment was not available at the beginning of the project, we did not have plans to use it for Goal 2 evaluation. We are working, however, to adapt our plan to include an NETS•T assessment (pre and post with portfolio) for year 2.
