This report is designed to assist members of a Program Quality Review (PQR) team in: (1) conducting a review of the effects of an elementary school's curriculum, instructional methodologies, and effectiveness strategies on the students; (2) guiding the development of an action plan; and (3) providing a model for the school's own self-study. The report has four parts. Part I describes how the quality criteria can be used for planning and implementation of school improvement initiatives at a school site. Part II is a guide to be used by schools in conducting a self-study. Part III describes the methodology and procedures of program quality review (PQR), the application of the quality criteria to the school's curricular and instructional program, and the means by which suggestions in the Report of Findings might be developed. Part IV contains the criteria that consist of narrative statements portraying the central features of high quality, followed by a series of concrete descriptions indicative of each quality. A review team may consist of persons who are outside the district, as is the case in a formal PQR, or the team may be made up of school staff and parents who wish to conduct an informal self-study.

State education departments and school districts face an important challenge in implementing a new law that requires disadvantaged students to be held to the same standards as other students. The new requirements come from provisions of the 1994 reauthorization of Title I, the largest federal effort in precollegiate education, which provides aid to "level the field" for disadvantaged students. Testing, Teaching, and Learning is written to help states and school districts comply with the new law, offering guidance for designing and implementing assessment and accountability systems. This book examines standards-based education reform and reviews the research on student assessment, focusing on the needs of disadvantaged students covered by Title I. With examples of states and districts that have track records in new systems, the committee develops a practical "decision framework" for education officials. The book explores how best to design assessment and accountability systems that support high levels of student learning and to work toward continuous improvement. Testing, Teaching, and Learning will be an important tool for all involved in educating disadvantaged studentsâ€"state and local administrators and classroom teachers.

Focused on physical literacy and measurable outcomes, empowering physical educators to help students meet the Common Core standards, and coming from a recently renamed but longstanding organization intent on shaping a standard of excellence in physical education, National Standards & Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical Education is all that and much more. Created by SHAPE America — Society of Health and Physical Educators (formerly AAHPERD) — this text unveils the new National Standards for K-12 Physical Education. The standards and text have been retooled to support students’ holistic development. This is the third iteration of the National Standards for K-12 Physical Education, and this latest version features two prominent changes: •The term physical literacy underpins the standards. It encompasses the three domains of physical education (psychomotor, cognitive, and affective) and considers not only physical competence and knowledge but also attitudes, motivation, and the social and psychological skills needed for participation. • Grade-level outcomes support the national physical education standards. These measurable outcomes are organized by level (elementary, middle, and high school) and by standard. They provide a bridge between the new standards and K-12 physical education curriculum development and make it easy for teachers to assess and track student progress across grades, resulting in physically literate students. In developing the grade-level outcomes, the authors focus on motor skill competency, student engagement and intrinsic motivation, instructional climate, gender differences, lifetime activity approach, and physical activity. All outcomes are written to align with the standards and with the intent of fostering lifelong physical activity. National Standards & Grade-Level Outcomes for K-12 Physical Education presents the standards and outcomes in ways that will help preservice teachers and current practitioners plan curricula, units, lessons, and tasks. The text also • empowers physical educators to help students meet the Common Core standards; • allows teachers to see the new standards and the scope and sequence for outcomes for all grade levels at a glance in a colorful, easy-to-read format; and • provides administrators, parents, and policy makers with a framework for understanding what students should know and be able to do as a result of their physical education instruction. The result is a text that teachers can confidently use in creating and enhancing high-quality programs that prepare students to be physically literate and active their whole lives.

Elementary School Standards Instruction Course of Study Supervision Applied to New York City Schools by FRANK M. McMURRY, PH. D. PROFESSOR OF ELEMENTARY EDUCATION, TEACHERS COLLEGE COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY YONKERS-ON-HUDSON, NEW YORK. WORLD BOOK COMPANY, by World book Company. Entered at Stationers London, England. All rights reserved. EDITORS PREFACE THE problems dealt with by Professor McMurry in this book cover one of the most important fields included in the New York City School Inquiry. His task was to arrive at a just estimate of the quality of the teaching, the course of study, and the supervision by the principals in the elementary schools. This task naturally led him to formulate standards of value, whereby the work of the elementary schools could be appraised. Rejecting the usual examinations as inadequate and unsatisfactory for his purpose, Professor McMurry has judged the quality of the teaching, course of study, and super vision by the degree to which all three are controlled by purposes of recognized value in daily living. His formulation of the standards on which his judgments are based and his detailed descriptions of the application of those standards to the actual work of the schools will be useful, we believe, to earnest teachers everywhere. Professor Mc-Murry did not attempt to make these standards all-embracing, but they are so fundamental to satisfactory plans and procedure in elementary school work that, whatever limitations as to scope and variety they may possess, all good elementary schools must conform to them. Further, they point the way to progressive improvement where improvement is desirable. This book is, accordingly, not merely a report made by one of my associates in the New York City School Inquiry it is a contribution to the professional resources of teachers and supervising officers wherever their lot may be cast. Though essentially Professor McMurrys report as submitted to me and by me submitted to the Committee on vii viii Editors, Preface School Inquiry, the report as here printed has been subjected to important revisions in form and, to a slight degree, in substance revisions which were impossible under the conditions which governed the preparation and publication of the draft submitted to the Committee. The book does not attempt to illustrate accurate measurement of educational results. It is scientific only in so far as it brings to bear organized knowledge and insight on an educational problem. Scientific measurement in education is, indeed, as yet too little developed to be applied to more than a very limited portion of the work of the elementary schools. Except for arithmetic and penman ship, standard scores or standard achievements are not available for measuring the quality of the results actually attained by the schools and even for penmanship and arithmetic, the standard measures for each grade are not yet firmly established. Moreover, purposes must be formulated and incorporated into practice before any results to be measured can be expected. Scientific measurement of results will therefore always presuppose clear conception of the purposes to be realized and the formulation of these purposes will always continue to be essential to efficient practice The extent to which these purposes are realized falls within the province of exact measurement but, as has been said, without these purposes there is nothing to measure, and the methods of exact measurement are still in process of evolution. It is worth noting, however, that the conclusions in relation to ability in reasoning and computation in arithmetic arrived at by Professor McMurry have been confirmed by exact measurement, so far as it was possible to apply exact measurement, by Mr. Stuart A. Courtis, who is expected to contribute a later volume to this series, PAUL H. HANUS. HABVABD UNIVERSITY, April, 1913. CONTENTS PAGE EDITORS PREFACE...
