The Use of Illustrations in Large-Scale Science Assessment: A Comparative Study
In this paper, we report on a study that compares state, national, and international assessment programs as to the characteristics and functions of the illustrations used in their science test items. We used our conceptual framework for examining the characteristics of illustrations in science items (Solano-Flores & Wang, 2009, 2011) to code the illustrations of samples of items.

Teacher Quality, Quality Teaching, and Student Outcomes: Measuring the Relationships (Hill)
Year
2009
Short Description
Many assume that better-quality teachers will lead to improvements in the quality of teaching and,thus, student outcomes. Over the past decade, a program has been developed of research around measuring key components of mathematical teacher quality and the mathematical quality of teaching. This session describes the efforts to develop these measures.
