Education Commission of the States, 2020
Following a high-quality early care and pre-K experience, the kindergarten-through-third-grade years set the foundation upon which future learning builds; and strengthening this continuum creates opportunities for later success. Key components of a quality experience in K-3 include school readiness and transitions, kindergarten requirements,…

See, Beng Huat; Gorard, Stephen; Lu, Binwei; Dong, Lan; Siddiqui, Nadia – Research Papers in Education, 2022
While education technology has been widely used in classrooms, and considerable investments have been made to support its use in the UK, the evidence base for many such rapidly changing technologies is weak, and their efficacy is unclear. The aim of this paper is to systematically review and synthesise empirical research on the use of technology…

Joseph S. Tomasine – Classroom Discourse, 2023
School-based social practices of oral feedback present challenges for all k-12 students. Ignoring these challenges during reading assessment contributes to a deficit view of emergent bilingual students, whose struggles to participate in formative feedback on reading performance may result from general unfamiliarity with school-based practices,…

Manyak, Patrick C.; Manyak, Ann-Margaret – Reading Psychology, 2021
Although research provides ample evidence of teaching methods that facilitate students' learning of specific word meanings, the potential of instruction to impact students' general vocabulary knowledge has remained an unanswered question. This article reports on a three-year formative experiment that developed, implemented, and tested a long-term,…

Viengsang, Raveewan; Wasanasomsithi, Punchalee – LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network, 2022
In recent decades, there has been an attempt to introduce the concept of "assessment for learning" into English language classrooms based on a belief that assessment can be utilized to assist learners in the learning process, not just for teachers to make judgments and decisions. In so doing, the learning-oriented assessment frameworks…

Ethan R. Van Norman; Emily R. Forcht – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2024
Curriculum-based measurement of reading (CBM-R) is a common assessment educators use to monitor student growth in broad reading skills and evaluate the effectiveness of instructional programs. Computer-adaptive tests (CATs), such as Star Reading, have been cited as a viable option to formatively assess reading growth. We used Bayesian…
