[Assessment 273] Cost factors for assessmentsKroeger, Miriam MKroege at ade.az.govTue Mar 28 09:56:25 EST 2006
$10 - yikes! Particularly if we are conducting these types of assessments more than twice. However, before we give thumbs down because of cost, I think we have to remember to factor in the "hidden" costs of what we do now. We have teachers' or test administrators' time "proctoring" the tests; we have time correcting the tests; sometimes there is time taken from instruction. And if we are testing when we consider that it's time for the student to test (even if it's as little as 4 weeks or 40 hours), as opposed to a set 8 weeks, or 80 - 100 hours, then the teacher needs to keep on teaching those who are not ready to test, so we need another person to administer the test. So, again, what are our true costs for what we do now as compared to this option? Not that I'm gung-ho. I'm trying to figure out how to assure that everyone has access to the Internet!! -Miriam Kroeger Arizona -----Original Message----- From: assessment-bounces at nifl.gov [mailto:assessment-bounces at nifl.gov] On Behalf Of assessment-request at nifl.gov Sent: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 5:22 AM To: assessment at nifl.gov Subject: Assessment Digest, Vol 6, Issue 20 Send Assessment mailing list submissions to assessment at nifl.gov To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit http://www.nifl.gov/mailman/listinfo/assessment or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to assessment-request at nifl.gov You can reach the person managing the list at assessment-owner at nifl.gov When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Assessment digest..."
