Summary
School Performance Metrics offers a comprehensive exploration of how we measure school success and student achievement, moving beyond traditional methods to advocate for a more holistic educational evaluation. It critically examines the use of standardized testing, the development of international assessment frameworks like PISA, and the crucial role of qualitative data in understanding educational outcomes. Did you know that standardized tests, now ubiquitous, have a history rooted in early assessment methodologies? The book uniquely integrates quantitative and qualitative data, providing a nuanced understanding of the factors contributing to school success, rather than relying on simple rankings. The book argues that a singular focus on test scores is misleading, instead promoting a balanced approach that includes student growth, social-emotional learning, and community engagement. By tracing the evolution of assessment practices and acknowledging the influence of socioeconomic factors, the book provides educators, policymakers, and researchers with a framework for improving educational systems. School Performance Metrics progresses from introducing core concepts and delving into standardized testing to analyzing international frameworks and exploring alternative assessment methods, culminating in a proposed comprehensive evaluation framework.
