Alberta Assessment Consortium's Framework for Student Assessment (Excerpts)
Assessment, evaluation, and communication of student achievement and growth are integral parts of schooling. Each part of the process should be a positive experience for students and promote growth.

Cognitive and conceptual assessment frameworks for simulating teaching and learning - Baek, Christensen, Gibson, Girod, Knezek
Research and development of digital games and simulation-based teacher training tools has begun to outline frameworks for representing the processes of teaching and learning. In order to develop knowledge and skills of teaching through use of these new technology tools, and since teaching is concerned with student learning, new computational models of cognition, assessment, and teaching actions have been developed.

Grounded metadata: Validating a semantic web vocabulary for technical assistance to educators - Knapp, Kurowski, Dexter, Gibson, McLaughlin
Abstract: Development of metadata (data about data) can be challenging because the vocabulary needs to be reliable yet flexible and extensible, locally relevant yet widely applicable and interoperable, and both machine and human readable. This article describes the process of creating “grounded metadata” for education, by engaging experts from technical assistance organizations, and the challenges the project faced.

simSchool: The Game of Teaching
simSchool article in INNOVATE - Synopsis: A video game that prepares teachers for the complexities of teaching in the classroom, particularly in the areas of differentiating instruction, classroom management, and adapting teaching to multiple cognitive abilities. The authors illustrate how the game's non-player characters (i.e., the virtual students) incorporate a diverse range of cognitive, demographic, and behavioral variables that react to the player's actions.

Structures Underlying Student Achievement and On-task Responses in the Cook School District Simulation
Cook School District is a web-based simulation activity designed for teacher preparation students (candidates, or users) to practice their skills in drawing connections between their teaching decisions and the academic achievement and classroom behavior of their students. This paper explains the conceptual structure and computational procedures that control the responses of the simulated students within the Cook simulation.
