General Education Assessment for Improvement of Student Academic Achievement


Book Description

This monograph focuses on general education, the one common curricular component that most institutions of higher learning share at the undergraduate level. Also known as the "core curriculum," this uniquely American curricular form is among the common interests of regional accreditation associations throughout the United States. In publicly financed institutions, it is also the area most likely to be the subject of "assessment for accountability" efforts by the public and their representatives. The monograph is user-oriented like the others in the series. Specific examples of models of general education assessment activities (through use of results to improve student learning) are provided for a comprehensive community college, a major state university, and a private college. Users are encouraged to adjust and adapt the models described to best meet their institutional circumstances and culture.

EDUCATIONAL ACRONYMS & TERMINOLOGIES


Book Description

This book was written to assist new teachers and parents within the educational setting. It’s a quick and easy reference to understanding general education, special education and assessment terms. It is intended to encourage and facilitate positive, informed contributions during meetings, conferences or simply interpreting and completing comprehensive summaries of students work. This tool strives to level the playing field by providing a quick reference for acronyms and terminologies used on a daily basis. Given the current need for accountability within the education system, this tool will be an asset to new and incoming teachers working in the field and for parents whose expectations of their child demand that they are up beat on the jargon used by educators.




Leadership in Theological Education, Volume 1


Book Description

The ICETE Programme for Academic Leadership (IPAL) was officially established in 2010 and arose out of the need to provide training to theological institutions in different regions of the world. IPAL provides a three-year cycle of four-day seminars for the professional development of evangelical academic leaders to help institutions in their pursuit of quality and excellence. This publication is the first of three volumes intended to accompany and support the IPAL seminars as well as independently providing wider access to the principles required by academic leaders for institutional development. Each chapter shares and illustrates the contributors’ expertise in and understanding of education, leadership and administration in the field of evangelical academic institutions. With an intentional awareness of a wide range of non-Western contexts this volume is a much-needed guide for senior administrators around the world.
