| NCES 1999455 | Student Work and Teacher Practices in Science
This is a report written primarily for science teachers. It focuses on samples of questions and student responses taken from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) science assessment that was administered in 1996 to students in grades 4, 8, and 12. Each student who participated in the assessment was required to do a hands-on task; and, slightly more than 60 percent of the questions were open-ended and thus required students to construct their own responses. The report is divided into four parts: The first part (chapter 1), provides an overview of the assessment; the second part (chapters 2, 3, and 4), presents examples of questions and students’ responses; the third part (chapters 5 and 6) contains information collected from students, teachers, and school administrators about classroom practices, student motivation, and parental involvement in learning; finally, the fourth part contains appendices offering a fuller description of the procedures used for the NAEP 1996 science assessment (appendix A), scoring guides for questions discussed in chapters 2, 3, and 4 (appendix B), and standard errors for the statistics presented (appendix C). |

| NCES 9808 | The Redesign of the Schools and Staffing Survey for 1999-2000: A Position Paper
This paper proposes a framework for discussing the objectives and content of the next Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) in school year 1999-2000. The framework focuses on school reform and what information SASS can collect to inform the nation about school reform efforts. Major reform agenda and expert opinion are reviewed and the issues and topics common to them are identified. These common topics are classified under two major objects of school reform, teacher capacity and school capacity. Teacher capacity is defined in terms of teacher quality, career paths, professional development, and instructional practice. School capacity is defined in terms of school organization and management, decision-making authority, curriculum and instruction, parental involvement, school safety and discipline, and school resources. |
