Skills Information System Review: A Report of Findings and Recommendations.
Friend, Ronn E.
This report is a review of findings and recommendations following a study by the Migrant Student Record Transfer System (MSRTS) Committee of the National Association of State Directors of Migrant Education (NASDME). The assessment of NASDME's Skills Information System (SIS) was initiated in September 1984 and completed in December 1985. Section 1 of the report gives historical background of SIS, which is designed to distribute information in four categories--reading, mathematics, early childhood and oral language--to teachers of migrant children throughout the country. Section 2 provides details about data sources, surveys, and information collection. Section 3 includes information on the four SIS committees and various sub-committees working on the project, their responsibilities and general recommendations for altering SIS's manuals and publications. Appendix A of the report offers the "MSRTS Skills Information Survey" and a tally of the survey responses. Appendix B shows proposed revisions of the "Reading Skills" checklist for evaluating migrant students' skills. Appendix C shows proposed revisions of the "Math Skills" checklist. Appendix D shows proposed changes in the "Oral Language Skills" checklist. Several charts are included in the document. (TES)
