Educational Quality Indicators: Collaboration in Action. Proceedings of a Symposium at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Educational Researchers' Association (Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, June 5, 1990).
Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton.
Five of the project teams of the Educational Quality Indicators (EQI) initiative of Alberta (Canada) came together to provide their perspectives on the initiative and to report their progress in developing local indicator systems that have the involvement and support of their respective communities. The conceptual framework of the EQI initiative, presented in 1989, addresses two essential questions: whether the students are learning to their potential, and whether the educational system is supporting student learning efficiently and effectively. Presentations at the symposium included: (1) "The Quality Indicators Strategy: Involving the Community" (Roger Mestinsek and Derek Taylor); (2) "A Collaborative Model for School and Program Evaluation" (Earle J. Warnica); (3) "School System Review: A Comprehensive Process" (Bernie Chandler); (4) "Measuring Social Competence in Students" (David G. Young); and "Signs of Learning in the Affective Domain" (Ralph Himsl and Esther Lambert). Discussants were Philip Nagy, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, and John O. Anderson, University of Victoria. (SLD)
