The Center for Assessment and Evaluation of Student Learning (CAESL) addresses the national need for increasing the assessment capacity within the K-12 science education system. Increasing "assessment capacity" means enhancing the expertise, designs, structures and supports that enable local districts and schools to use assessment as a critical tool for enhancing science learning. The primary focus of the Center will be classroom assessment practices. However, because of the enormous pressure that standardized and/or state-mandated assessments place on students and teachers, the project also seeks to better align large-scale assessments with ongoing formative classroom assessments that inform teaching and improve learning.The Center is a collaboration among: the Concord Consortium; the Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST)/University of California, Los Angeles; Stanford University; Lawrence Hall of Science; the Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley; and WestEd, who will act as the coordinator. There are several major school district partners that will collaborate with the Center and serve as testbeds for Center activities and resources. The project also works with San Jose State University, a major teacher preparation institution, to co-develop and integrate a variety of assessment resources into its preservice and graduate programs. The Center's graduate programs are aimed to make significant practical, conceptual and methodological contributions to the assessment of science learning and achievement. The Graduate Schools of Education at UC-Berkeley, UCLA and Stanford will develop a cooperative approach to the masters and doctoral programs to be called the Learning and Assessment Program (LAP) for 43 students. The LAP includes a series of core courses on science, learning, cognition and assessment; testing and assessment; and curriculum, teaching and assessment. Students can "telecommute" to take courses at institutions other than their own, and all students will participate in a practicum on assessment development.The professional development component will be led by the Lawrence Hall of Science, the Concord Consortium, and WestEd. Participating districts will be part of three-year cohorts and assemble teams of teachers and district administrators who will participate in 15 days of professional development each year over three years, along with follow-up sessions at school sites. The professional development focuses on testing and using formative classroom assessments. Experiences and products developed as part of this component will be disseminated widely to other schools or districts through the extensive networks of the Lawrence Hall and WestEd. The applied research component examines (1) the formative and summative assessment strategies that most effectively increase student learning and understanding; and (2) how educational technology can enhance assessment practices.Finally, the project targets public understanding of assessment and the Lawrence Hall of Science and CRESST/UCLA will mount a public outreach effort that translates the work of the Center for school administrators, parents and community members.

学生学习评估和评估中心（CAESL）解决了增加K-12科学教育系统中评估能力的国家需求。 提高“评估能力”是指增强专业知识，设计，结构和支持，使当地地区和学校能够使用评估作为增强科学学习的关键工具。 该中心的主要重点是课堂评估实践。 但是，由于对学生和教师的标准化和/或州规定的评估造成的巨大压力，该项目还试图更好地使大规模评估与正在进行的形成性课堂评估相结合，以供教学和改善学习。评估，标准和学生测试研究中心（CRESST）/加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校；斯坦福大学；劳伦斯科学厅；加州大学伯克利分校的教育研究生院；和Wested，他将担任协调员。 有几个主要的学区合作伙伴将与中心合作，并充当中心活动和资源的测试床。 该项目还与主要教师准备机构圣何塞州立大学合作，将各种评估资源共同开发和整合到其前者和研究生课程中。该中心的研究生计划旨在为评估科学学习和成就做出重大的实践，概念和方法论贡献。 加州大学伯克利分校，加州大学洛杉矶分校和斯坦福大学的教育研究生院将针对43名学生的硕士和博士学位课程开发合作方法和博士学位课程。 圈圈包括一系列有关科学，学习，认知和评估的核心课程；测试和评估；和课程，教学和评估。学生可以“远程办公”在自己的机构以外的机构上学习，所有学生将参加评估开发的实践。专业发展组成部分将由劳伦斯科学厅，康科德财团和西部的劳伦斯科学厅领导。 参与的地区将是三年组的一部分，并组成由教师和地区管理人员组成的团队，他们将在每年三年内参加15天的专业发展，以及在学校现场的后续课程。 专业发展的重点是测试和使用形成性课堂评估。 作为该组成部分的一部分而开发的经验和产品将通过劳伦斯音乐厅和西方的广泛网络广泛地传播到其他学校或地区。 应用研究组件（1）最有效地增加学生学习和理解的形成性和总结性评估策略； （2）教育技术如何增强评估实践。从最后，该项目针对公众对评估的理解，而劳伦斯科学厅和CRESST/UCLA将进行公众的宣传工作，将中心的工作转化为学校管理员，父母和社区成员的工作。
