Does Pre Post Mastery Assessment Help Students Over 30 years provides evidence that Pre Post Mastery assessment can improve student performance Pre Post assessment permits teachers to detail or individualize instruction at two points both before instruction and after the Post test for re teaching and planning future lessons For low achievers special needs and at risk students Pre Post assessment provides self referenced score comparison of a student with him herself rather than only with a set standard or a norm group Pre Post assessment is most effective when it is brief and can be integrated with instruction The SKeVA probes are designed to be brief Assessment is most effective when results are immediately shared The SKeVA procedure provides immediate computer generated feedback Assessment will not be used by teachers when it is too burdensome to create administer score and summarize For the SKeVAO system these are strengths rather than concerns Vannest et al SKeVA 2 SKeVAO Overview 2 1 2 2 2 3 Introduction to Science Key Vocabulary Assessment SKeVA Benefits of SKeVA O Assessment Options of SKeVA O Vannest et al SKeVA 2 1 Introduction to SKeVA What is SKeVA O Science Key Vocabulary Assessment SKeVAO is a web based assessment system for improving TAKS scores in 5 grade science SKeVAO is a TEKS based series of key word vocabulary tests that teachers can util
