Overview

The 21CSA is a measurement tool for one of the strategies for project Goal 1. It is also a measurement for Goal 2, but at this point, the focus of this page is assessment of students.

 

Goal 1

Improve academic achievement for New Mexico’s K-12 students, especially in rural areas, by implementing technology-enhanced teaching methods in alignment with standards [NMCSB and National Educational Technology Standards for students (NETS, Appendix 1)], which support 21st century learning and prepare students to meet NCLB technology literacy requirements.

 

Measurable Objective

Students of participating educator teams will improve achievement in assessment of NETS on a summative assessment of 21st century skills and through formative classroom assessment.

Strategy

Develop assessment strategies for evaluating students 21st Century Skills.

 

Metric

To what degree and in what ways has C21CL improved student achievement towards NETS? 

  • possible comparison of team data from general student data on multiple assessments between 2009-2011.
  • possible by comparison of baseline team data in a given grade level from first year to second year.

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.
