Educational Evaluation, Assessment, & Effectiveness Glossary: A Claremont Graduate University EDUC 445 Fall 2021 Course Publication

Abstract

This glossary is intended to support professionals who are seeking to understand evaluation, assessment, and effectiveness in the context of K-12 and higher education. The definitions in this e-book represent the shared meanings that were co-created by education professionals in EDUC 445 at the Claremont Graduate University during Fall 2021 under the guidance of Dr. Gwen Garrison, PhD. Though evaluation is commonly viewed as a separate field from education, this glossary seeks to bridge the gap between the two. As such, it is a resource for professionals who are new to exploring the interconnectedness of these topics, both in theory and/or practice.
