Evaluation and Assessment

FERPA/HIPAA:
Overall I did fairly well on the quiz, only getting a select few wrong. I would
use this quiz as a model to go back and look at whenever needing to know further
information abut FERPA and/or to use to remember information that may not have
been retained.

Data collection in education is crucial. My opinion on that only got stronger

after completing this thing. Collecting data on your students and your students work
allows you as a teacher to follow each child and see where they are succeeding and
where they need improvement.
Data Warehouses:
These warehouses provide numerous pieces of information about schools. It
informs you about enrollment, test scores, dropout rates, college attendance. As a user

you can view, find, and analyze any district. Although this could be helpful for a
veteran teacher to be able to see how their school is performing, it also allows new
graduates the opportunity to check out schools and see which districts fit their standards
and philosophy.

This collection of data tells users the amount of ISDs, PSAs and State Facilities at the
local elementary school in Alma. You can see that it is not filled out in extreme detail,
which could be a big determining factor to a user, seeing that the Alma school does not
provide enough background information.

This collection of data shows a map with information collected from Michigan State
University. You are able to look at the map and see what the average age of the
students attending are, how many students who attend are seeking a degree, and how
many students are Michigan high school graduates. This allows users to gain a small
piece of background information and allows a visual representation to help make
understanding the information easier.

Rubric:

This rubric would be used to grade students on their work via a poster. The
students would be graded overall on the appearance and amount of information that is
accurately displayed on the poster. By creating a rubric for a project, it allows students
the chance to see what the teacher is expecting each of their projects to include. It
helps the teacher grade consistently, meaning that the teacher knows what they are
looking for on each students poster and grades them all equally and over the same
things.
Online Quiz:

Results:

By creating an online quiz where students are able to locate and take online, it
allows teachers the opportunity to create quizzes and tests that students can take
anywhere. It lets students respond to questions and then allows teachers the
opportunity to see all of the results and monitor where each student is. The results
show each student answers, which answers were selected the most, etc.
