Conference Program

Alignment of GACE Content Tests to NCTM Indicators:

Those of you who are involved with the NCATE/NCTM Program Review process will find this alignment of GACE Mathematics Tests to NCTM Indicators useful. We can thank Judy O'Neal (retired, NGCSU) and Anne Marie Fenton (PSC). A group of college mathematics/mathematics education faculty and two high school teachers  reviewed the GACE - Mathematics test descriptors sent to us by NES and then determined whether or not it was highly likely that the NCTM indicators were met. The decision was made via a conference call with Anne Marie Fenton (PSC), three representatives from NES, and the five GA mathematics folks. It took almost a year to get the alignment finished but should accurately reflect an appropriate alignment.
