1999-2000 Catalog-Final W-O Placeholders.Vp:Corelventura President’s Message It is my pleasure to welcome you to Western Washington University as we celebrate a centennial anniversary in 1999-2000. In these 100 years, WWU has grown from a small teachers college to a university that is one of the best regional public universities in the Northwest. The campus is beautiful, activities abound, the staff is friendly and helpful, and faculty members are excellent teachers and scholars. All of this adds up to an outstanding college experience at a modest price. Western is a student-centered university. You will expand your interests and perspectives. We combine the academic distinction and personal attention of a smaller, private college and the choices and variety of a comprehensive university. We are committed to the notion that outstanding faculty scholarship and inspired teaching can and should go together. You will learn a great deal here. But the most important knowledge you will acquire is the knowledge of how to learn, which will help you to continue your education for the rest of your life. Take the initiative to learn at Western, learn from the initiatives of others, and share your knowledge with the world beyond our doors. I wish you well as you begin this academic journey and look forward to your participation in our Western community. Karen W.

  • The Implications of Project-Based Pedagogy for the Classroom Assessment Infrastructures of Science Teachers
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 434 931 TM 030 183 AUTHOR D'Amico, Laura TITLE The Implications of Project-Based Pedagogy for the Classroom Assessment Infrastructures of Science Teachers. SPONS AGENCY Illinois State Board of Education, Springfield.; National Science Foundation, Arlington, VA. PUB DATE 1999-04-00 NOTE 49p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Montreal, Quebec, Canada, April 19-23, 1999). CONTRACT RED-9454729; MDR88-55582 PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Case Studies; Cooperation; *Educational Assessment; Educational Change; High Schools; Science Instruction; *Science Teachers; *Secondary School Teachers; *Teacher Attitudes; *Teaching Methods IDENTIFIERS *Infrastructure; Reform Efforts ABSTRACT As some reform-minded teachers have discovered, classroom assessment can serve as a vital tool for meeting the challenges associated with project science activity. In essence, it functions as an infrastructure that both students and teachers rely on as a mediational tool for classroom activity and communications. The research described in this paper investigated the classroom assessment infrastructures created by three teachers involved in the Learning through Collaborative Visualization (CoVis) Project from 1993-94 to 1995-96. Each of the three teachers under study either created a new course or rationally reformulated an old one in an effort to incorporate project-based science pedagogy and supporting technologies. Their instructional goals and the role projects played within them varied widely, as did their assessment infrastructures. This paper provides a brief case study of each course that outlines the complex relationship between their curricular and assessment designs. In addition, a cross-case analysis demonstrates the common challenges faced and solutions used by the teachers as they crafted assessment infrastructures in support of project-based science activity.

  • Social Promotion and the Success of Failure
    The Wages of Failure: New Evidence on School Retention and Long-run Outcomes Philip Babcock Kelly Bedard Contact Information: Philip Babcock Department of Economics University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA, 93106-9210 Phone: 805-893-4823 Email: [email protected] Kelly Bedard Department of Economics University of California, Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA, USA, 93106-9210 Phone: 805-893-5571 Email: [email protected] Acknowledgement Footnote: We thank Olivier Deschenes, Caroline Hoxby, Brian Jacob, Peter Kuhn, Heather Royer, Jon Sonstelie, and seminar participants at the UCSB labor lunch and NBER Education Working Group Spring 2009 for helpful comments. Abstract By estimating differences in long-run education and labor market outcomes for cohorts of students exposed to differing state-level primary school retention rates, this paper estimates the effects of retention on all students in a cohort, retained and promoted. We find that a one standard deviation increase in early grade retention is associated with a 0.7 percent increase in mean male hourly wages. Further, the observed positive wage effect is not limited to the lower tail of the wage distribution but appears to persist throughout the distribution. Though there is an extensive literature attempting to estimate the effect of retention on the retained, this analysis offers what may be the first estimates of average long-run impacts of retention on all students. I. Introduction Both the “Goals 2000: Educate America Act,” signed into law by Bill Clinton in 1994, and “No Child Left Behind,” signed seven years later by George W. Bush, called for outcome- based reforms tying grade promotion to student performance.
