Media mention: Bradshaw's work included in AJC piece
By the time schools receive the results of standardized tests, students may already be falling too far behind to get back on track.
Laine Bradshaw, an associate professor in the Department of Educational Psychology, was recently mentioned in an article in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for her work on a pilot program that will help refine school assessments for Putnam County School District.
“Each Milestones exam tests students’ understanding of all the ‘standards,’ or learning goals, for a particular class, but the quizzes break them down, tackling one standard or a few at a time,” she said. “There are about eight questions per standard, which is more than with the Milestones, but fewer with each sitting.”
