EDE 660 - Curriculum and Standardized Testing

3 credit(s)
This course incorporates elementary curricular content within a foundation for standardized testing and is linked to field-based assignments. Standardized testing continues to play a major role as an indicator of achievement of all students in American education. Students will learn and reflect on how mandated state (i.e., Connecticut Mastery Testing) and national tests impact their classrooms, and how best practices in curriculum and instruction prepare all children for standardized testing. Refining intended curricular learning outcomes and the sequencing/integration of curriculum will be addressed. Measurement skills and appropriate computer software, including reliability, validity, as well as statistical tools necessary for interpretation of results, will be emphasized. Diversity and cultural sensitivity issues will also be explored.
