If a pupil you teach appears to speak and listen normally, yet they are unable to read and spell, then there may be more to check out. Some of the well-known symptoms of dyslexia are: confusion over the direction letters face (b/d, p/9, p/q); difficulties with left and right; difficulties with keeping organized; difficulties with spelling difficulties with directions (e.g. east and west); missing out words when reading. More information What causes dyslexia To be quite honest, nobody quite knows at the moment. There has been a real increase in the amount of information available through research, and a number of possibilities are beginning to emerge, but the waters are still fairly murky.

Teaching Awards SEARCH THE SITE Assessment Processes Should Have Educational Integrity Most academics would argue that the ideal purpose of their teaching is to foster a critical appreciation of ideas, creativity and independence of thought. It is not the lecture that will encourage such higher learning dispositions, rather it is the design and conduct of assessment. Planning assessment is planning for student learning. Assessment tasks and processes establish the learning culture of a department or Faculty. The design of assessment tasks, the ways in which the tasks are assessed and the ways in which the assessors give feedback to students all determine the ways in which students will approach their learning at university. The objective for assessment should be to ensure that assessment processes have educational integrity without increasing the workload for staff and students.

Home New Staff Assessment Online Tutorial ... Teaching Awards SEARCH THE SITE Group Assessment Tasks and Assessing Groups Research has demonstrated that an important factor in student success in university studies is the opportunities for students to work in groups. While many academics would like to include group work, there is often hesitation because of bad experiences when groups have fallen apart and have failed to complete the tasks or left the work to one or a few students who have felt badly put upon. There are many advantages to including some group work in the assessment design, but if so it must be thoughtfully managed. Benefits in designing assessment tasks for groups of students. When students have to explain and negotiate their contributions to a group project it assists them in developing and increasing their meta-cognitive awareness. That is, in 'low risk' contexts they begin to know what they know and know what they have yet to learn or find out. Group projects provide opportunities for developing generic skills such as: organisation

Assessment plays an important part in the teaching-learning process at all levels of education. Since assessment plays such an important and significant part in the future of students there is no doubt that any assessment system will determine what students learn and the way in which they do this. Hence assessment will also determine the way in which we teach and what we teach. But assessment is not just about grading and examinations. It is also about getting to know our students and the quality of their learning and to use this knowledge and understanding to their benefit. Assessment is without doubt one of the major 'drivers' of the teaching-learning process. It is thus important for teaching staff to be familiar not only with the technical aspects of the many different forms of assessment currently in use but also with their advantages and limitations and about assessment issues and concerns. Resource Materials Published in Deliberations: Assessment Sally Brown, Director of the Quality Enhancement Unit at the University of Northumbria, orginally hosted the pages on assessment. In this article she gives a personal view on some of the pros and cons of assessment. A Survey of Assessment When the pages on assessment were begun an on-line survey on the subject carried out through Deliberations. This is a report of the survey data collated by mid-1996.

The TEACH Web site contains information pertaining to scientific literature in the field of children's environmental health for 18 chemicals or chemical groups of concern to children, which may potentially impact children's health. The goal of the TEACH project is to complement existing children's health information resources by providing a listing and summary of scientific literature applicable to children's health risks due to chemical exposure. TEACH does not provide evaluation or critique of the validity of the studies, and does not derive toxicity values. TEACH summarizes, compiles, and organizes information obtained from numerous resources into one resource. It is hoped that this information will support existing children's health efforts.

Commission on Institutions of Higher Education Pilot Institutional Assessment Portfolios An Experiment in Strengthening Assessment of Student Learning Outcomes and Institutional Effectiveness Since 1992 with the development of its Policy on Institutional Effectiveness, and the revision of its Standards for Accreditation, the Commission on Institutions of Higher Education at NEASC has attempted to encourage its member institutions to strengthen the assessment of student learning and institutional effectiveness. The Commission has tried to do this with the highest respect for the core values of our quality assurance processes, that of respecting institutional autonomy and supporting institutional diversity while encouraging institutions to improve. Within this context the Commission has worked hard to strengthen assessment in non-prescriptive and non-bureaucratic ways. However the pressure to increase the quality of assessment of student learning and institutional effectiveness from both internal to institution forces and external constituency demands continues. The Commission would like to enhance and clarify its expectations in this arena. With grant support from the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Davis Educational Foundation, the Commission would like to work with ten institutions to pilot the development of institutional assessment portfolios as a vehicle for strengthening and making public what institutions are accomplishing in the assessment arena. In this case, making public means resolving what institutions will present in terms assessment processes and outcomes to:

Critical Issue: Rethinking Assessment and Its Role in Supporting Educational Reform ISSUE : Assessment of student achievement is changing, largely because today's students face a world that will demand new knowledge and abilities. In the global economy of the 21st century, students will need to understand the basics, but also to think critically , to analyze, and to make inferences. Helping students develop these skills will require changes in assessment at the school and classroom level, as well as new approaches to large-scale, high-stakes assessment. Linda Bond, director of assessment at NCREL, explains how the new skills needed in the 21st-century global economy have spurred the accountability/assessment movement in education. Excerpted from NCREL's Policy Talks , audiotape #2, Reaching for New Goals and Standards: The Role of Testing in Educational Reform Policy (NCREL, 1994). [Audio Comment, 204k]. A text version is available. OVERVIEW As society shifts from an industrial age, in which a person could get by with basic reading and arithmetic skills, to an information age, which requires the ability to access, interpret, analyze, and use information for making decisions, the skills and competencies needed to succeed in today's workplace are changing as well (Bond, 1992; National Center on Education and the Economy, 1989; and U.S. Department of Labor, 1991). In response to these changes, content standards - the knowledge, skills, and behaviors needed for students to achieve at high levels - are being developed at the national and state levels in areas such as mathematics, science, geography, and history. These standards have been synthesized in

Critical Issue: Implementing Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Standards in Mathematics ISSUE: National educational standards are being developed in nearly all subject areas. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has recently developed standards for mathematics. Their Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics reflect a concern that students in the U.S. are not mathematically literate and often fail to see the relationship between mathematics learned in school and real-life situations. The NCTM Standards are primarily expressed as goals for students . It is up to schools and communities to determine how to make sure all students reach these goals. Schools are faced with a huge challenge: to offer curriculum content, instructional methods, and forms of assessment that are aligned with the goals described in the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards OVERVIEW: Most U.S. students learn basic mathematical facts and formulas but many of them are unable to use this knowledge to solve everyday problems! Results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) help us understand the extent to which students in our country can solve problems with their mathematical knowledge.
