Knowledge gaps among school staff and the role of high quality ecological assessments in schools
Article Abstract:
The practice validity of a new ecological assessment instrument for third through fifth graders was examined in terms of whether it provided school staff with new knowledge about students. Results show that preassessment knowledge was not highly correlated with obtained data, preassessment data matched obtained data just 41% of the time, and knowledge varied by domain, source, and grade level.
