The 1963- Invitational Conference on Testing Problems centered Up- on both theoretical and practicalaspects of measurement ,Speakers reviewed and analyzed the current thinkiqg thdt underlies the basic concepts of reliability, and validity!' The ,potential of cog- nitive: and non-cognitive tests was !explored as were the social consequences of tests in general. In contrast to thesetheoretical discussions the Conference featured to interesting reports on the application of objective tests. in the field of medical education. All in all; it was a most stimulating program that balanced the reality of the present with implications for the fuure. I should like to extend our thanks to Drlexander G. Wesman who, as Chairinan, was responsible fortanning this program. We owe our thanks also to Dr. Jerome S. Bruner for his lunch- eon address and to the other distinguished s _kers whose efforts made this Conference such a success. Henry Chauncey PRES I DENT` Pa 1.

Conceptual Hurdles to the Application of Atkins v. Virginia Lois A. WEITHORN* INTRODUCTION In its 2002 decision, Atkins v. Virginia, the United States Supreme Court held that the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment precludes the execution of "mentally retarded offender[s]."' Writing for a six-member majority, Justice Stevens concluded that social attitudes and legal trends had shifted sufficiently in the thirteen years since the Court upheld such executions in Penry v. Lynaugh2 to justify a reversal of Penry.3 Indeed, according to Justice Stevens, during this interval, a social consensus had emerged favoring an absolute ban on the imposition of the death penalty on "a mentally retarded criminal."4 To reach this decision, the Court applied the standard set forth

  • The Formative Evaluation of Teaching Performance
    SEPTEMBER 2014 occasional paper137 The formative evaluation of teaching performance Dylan Wiliam Dr Dylan Wiliam is Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment at the Institute of Education, University of London where, from 2006 to 2010, he was its Deputy Director. An earlier version of this paper was presented at the International Conference on ‘Educational Evaluation for Teaching Performance’ organised by the Instituto Nacional para la Evaluación de la Educación, Mexico City, Mexico, 4–6 December 2013. Introduction The argument of this paper rests on four propositions. First, higher educational achievement is necessary both for individuals and for society. Second, higher educational achievement requires increased teacher quality. Third, increased teacher quality requires investing in the teachers already working in our schools. Fourth, that investment needs to take a radically different form from the professional development that teachers have typically received. In Section 1 of the paper I briefly review research on the benefits of education for individuals and society. Sections 2 and 3 show that the quality of teaching in schools is one of the most important factors in determining how much students learn in school. Sections 4 and 5 show that the available evidence suggests that improving the quality of entrants into the teaching profession and removing ineffective ISSN 1838-8566 ISBN 978-1-921823-60-2 teachers are inherently difficult, and unlikely to secure the kinds of improvement in teaching quality that are needed, leading to the central premise of Section 6, which Centre for Strategic Education is that the key to improvement of educational outcomes is investment in teachers (CSE) is the business name for IARTV ABN 33 004 055 556 already working in our schools.

Past as Prologue: The National Academy of Education at 50. Members Reflect. Washington, DC: National Academy of Education. The National Academy of Education advances high quality education research and its use in policy formation and practice. Founded in 1965, the Academy consists of U.S. members and foreign associates who are elected on the basis of outstanding scholarship related to education. Since its establishment, the Academy has undertaken research studies that address pressing issues in education, which are typically conducted by members and other scholars with relevant expertise. In addition, the Academy sponsors professional development fellowship programs that contribute to the preparation of the next generation of scholars. Foreword Fifty years ago American education changed. Congress enacted crit- ical and wide-reaching federal laws, the executive branch demanded the enforcement of revolutionary Supreme Court mandates, and we had finally come to terms with the abomination of racial injustice by passing the Civil Rights Act.
