Title: NAEP Validity Studies Reports Now Available Online
Body: From: The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) has made a number of interesting NAEP Validity Studies (NVS) Panel reports available online. The reports, released May 19-21, are included in the complete list of NCES NAEP working papers at: http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/getpubcats.asp?sid=031#014 Specific titles of these recently released papers are below. These reports, some commissioned by the NVS Panel as early as 1997, were written by members of the Panel to report on studies conducted to identify and develop technically sound techniques for use in NAEP assessments. The Panel, whose membership includes nationally recognized psychometricians and experts in NAEP subject areas, advises NCES on the research agenda for maintaining and developing the high technical quality of NAEP assessments. Discussions between the Panel and NCES have resulted in a rich collection of reports, which can be easily downloaded for free: The Validity of Oral Accommodation in Testing http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200306 An Agenda for NAEP Validity Research http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200307 Improving the Information Value of Performance Items in Large Scale Assessments http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200308 Optimizing State NAEP: Issues and Possible Improvements http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200309 Reporting the Results of the National Assessment of Educational Progress http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200311 An Investigation of Why Students Do Not Respond to Questions http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200312 A Study of Equating in NAEP http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200313 Feasibility Studies of Two-Stage Testing in Large-Scale Educational Assessment: Implications for NAEP http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200314 Computer Use and Its Relation to Academic Achievement in Mathematics, Reading, and Writing http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200315 Implications of Electronic Technology for the NAEP Assessment http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200316 The Effects of Finite Sampling on State Assessment Sample Requirements http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=200317

Title: South Carolina German Position
Body: From: "Carol Haring" I have just accepted a position closer to where I live and want to let you all know of the opening for the position I am leaving. I teach German I, II, and III (German IV, V, and VI are offered at the discretion of the teacher) fulltime at York Comprehensive High School in York, SC, just south/southeast of Charlotte, NC. Here's the web site: http://www.york.k12.sc.us/ychs.htm (it's not up-to-date as you'll notice ~ the former German teacher's name is still listed). The high school is grades 10 to 12 with 900 students. The students & my FL colleagues (1 French teacher & 2 Spanish) are wonderful, the administration is more wonderful, and I really have mixed feelings about leaving. However, I had an hour commute each way and my new school is just 15 minutes from home, so that is the big consideration in my changing schools. We use the Komm mit series. We have the 4 x 4 block with 90 minute classes. I started a chapter of the German National Honor Society this year and there is also a German Club. The city of York is small, out in the country, which is why I liked it. Many teachers live in Rock Hill, SC; Fort Mill, SC; or in Charlotte, NC. I might add that a brand new high school is in the planning 2 or 3 years from now. I truly have only good to say about this school and the people there. It's been a very fulfilling year. If you're interested in applying, please contact: Mrs. Diane Howell, Principal York Comprehensive High School 1010 Devinney Road York, SC 29745 . tel (803) 684-2336 . fax (803) 684-1932 I'll be happy to answer questions anyone may have. Please just e-mail or call. Carol Haring Spartanburg, SC tel (864) 587-8007
