  1. Teacher’s rating of tli and their curriculum Sarah Williams

  2. INTRODUCTION • 2001 No Child Left Behind • High Stakes Testing • Curriculum focused on testing • Target Testing/Pacing Guides • Private Companies (TLI)

  3. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM • To determine how teachers at Ozark Lower, Upper Elementary, Ozark Middle School and Ozark Junior High School rate the effectiveness of TLI testing and pacing guides.

  4. REVIEW OF LITERATURE • Good • Helps align curriculum • Provides data • Aligns to standards, frameworks • Bad • Narrows curriculum • Reduces non tested curriculum time • Takes away self efficacy

  5. METHODS • PARTICIPANTS • Ozark Lower and Upper Elementary • Ozark Middle • Ozark Junior High • INSTRUMENT • Survey: surveymonkey.com • Open Response Questions

  6. METHODS (continued) • Design and Analysis • 25 Teachers responded • 5 Fourth grade • 4 Fifth grade • 5 Sixth grade • 5 Seventh grade • 3 Eighth grade • 2 Ninth grade

  7. QUESTIONS • 1. What grade do you teach? • 2. What subject do you teach? • 3. Is your course Benchmark tested for your grade level? • 4. Do you feel you were properly trained in how to administer and use TLI? • 5.Do you think TLI provides adequate feedback? • 6.How would you rate TLI pacing guide for your subject?

  8. QUESTIONS (continued) • 7. What, if any, do you think are the strengths of TLI’s pacing guide and test material? • 8. What do you think are the problems with TLI’s pacing guide and testing material? • 9. What suggestions do you have on improving our schools use of TLI? • 10. Do you think by using TLI it has limited what and when you can teach your curriculum?

  9. DISCUSSION/ANAYLSIS • Data shows some disagreement on overall adequacy. • Some views are negative because questions do not match benchmark. • The sample did not think that the pacing guide limited curriculum or their self efficacy. • There was limitations with data since so few teachers responded to survey (25).

  10. RECOMMENDATIONS • Provide standardization of the TLI throughout the district. • Make sure all faculty within the district receive TLI training and TLI technology training. • Provide teachers within the district time for TLI assessment analysis.

  11. CONCLUSION • Even though the data from the teachers indicate that they disagreed on whether TLI adequately met their needs. • Teachers did indicate that it helped identify strengths and weaknesses within their students. • Teachers did agree did help standardize the curriculum.
