MSU Students, graduates and beginning teachers in elementary education are invited to participate in a tryout of an innovative new assessment involving Modeling and Explaining Content, Leading a Classroom Discussion and Eliciting Student Thinking tasks designed for the new ETS® National Observational Teaching Exam (NOTE). This tryout offers an opportunity for participants to join with ETS and be at the forefront of developing a new, innovative teacher licensure assessment. Participants will be compensated $100 for completing a 2.5-hour session.
Those who want to participate in the tryout should:
- email collaborate@ets.org indicating their interest in participating; and
- report to an on-campus tryout location.
Participants will receive task-specific directions on-site as they complete the tryout. Scores will not be provided. Send an email to collaborate@ets.org with “NOTE Tryout” in the subject line to partner with ETS for this important assessment. Participation in this research is voluntary, and there is no penalty for choosing not to participate.
More information is provided in the attached flyer. NOTE is being designed to evaluate prospective teachers’ ability to elicit student thinking and assess teachers’
ability to facilitate a class discussion.
