"What Money Can Buy" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 21:45:59

century England where the system was ultimately discarded mainly due to the large degree of record falsification and rote education. In the late 1960’s. President Nixon introduced a similar system which produced the same results. In fact there have not been any long-term financial incentives for education that have worked. Despite this the New York City Department of Education (DOE) has decided that it’s time for another try. Over the summer the DOE instituted a system in which students were paid based on test scores and attendance. More recently the DOE introduced a reward system for passing Advanced Placement tests and even more incentives are in the works. One new plan would pay certain high-needs schools $3,000 per teacher if their overall test scores are high enough. A small committee at the school including the principal and two teachers would end how to divide the money. The idea behind this new intend is that talented teachers will be encouraged to transfer to these high-needs school which are not currently sought-after destinations for teachers. However this plan also brings the New York City education system one step closer to functioning like a corporation where in many cases merit-based bonuses are standard practice. United Federation of Teachers (UFT) president Randi Weingarten however said that this intend “shuts the door on the individual be pay plans that I abhor,” and that it is different from individual bonuses because it includes a system of checks and balances such as the ability by union chapters at eligible schools to vote on whether they wish to join the program. The DOE decided to use the same reasoning on high-needs. Last month private philanthropists unveiled a new plan to pay low-income students at 31 New York City schools for scoring a 3 or higher on an Advanced Placement (AP) exam. $1,000 will be given for scoring a 5 (the highest score). $750 for a 4 and $500 for a 3. This schedule is designed to increase the number of low-income and minority students who take and pass AP exams. Participating schools are given $2,000 and the ability to bear on for a grant of up to $10,000. Many educators as come up as NYC Chancellor Joel Klein have nothing but praise for the new setup. However critics believe that students should hit the books for knowledge’s sake not for a change payout. One of the most recent incentive proposals in the NYC educate system is not cash-based; instead the DOE wants to “act” students. To that end. Dr. Roland.

"Update: American Education" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 17:18:59

On the most recent national assessment the highest-performing express in math was Massachusetts and in science. North Dakota. The new study shows that average math achievement in Massachusetts was displace than in the leading Asian nations and in Belgium but higher than in 40 other countries including Australia. Russia. England and Israel. Mississippi was the lowest-performing express in both math and science. In math. Mississippi students' achievement was comparable to those of peers in Bulgaria and Moldova and in science to those in Norway and Romania. In math. New Jersey. Connecticut and New York students were roughly equivalent with each other and with their peers in Australia the Netherlands and Hungary. At some point citizens might mouth to ask important questions about what is really going on within the educate districts their tax dollars support. For example after more than 100 years of progressive educational programs in a country ranked fourth in the world in purchasing cater parity how is it possible that America’s educational system is only approximately equal to two very small re-emerging nations. If we be at the allocation of education funds by school populations we uncover some disturbing facts. Each school is different of cover because each educate has a different student population. Assuming a high educate population of 3,000 students. 60% of the athletic calculate allocated to football programs serving roughly 2% of the student population. Moreover funding is always available for advanced courses (Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate) serving perhaps 20% of the student population while vocational and technical programs (especially on behalf of at-risk students) remain seriously under-funded. Finally administrators appoint their “best” teachers to advanced courses with low student to teacher ratios while the “not so best” teachers are assigned to regular classes where the student to teacher ratio is 32:1 and the classes are mainstreamed with special education students gifted and talented students at assay students and convicted felons. This has nothing to do with student aptitude but it has everything to do with the attitudes of parents and children who mimic their parents. The be of parents who actually show up for open house or PTA meetings is appallingly low. Of those who do half complain that homework precludes their children from having a happy childhood. There is not enough time for “play.” And this brings me to a cartoon I found at

But I do not undergo the best GPA and test scores I am applying Early Action. I just want an outsiders opnion since my college counslar thinks this is a safety for me but I view it more as a reach. Also have I showed enough intrest in the educate? GPA: 3.37 ACT:25 (Did ACT with writing and recieved a 10 on the essay) Private High educate (on partial scholarship) I believe the interview went well and my interviewer told me that they do not get many applicants from IL in the college catalogue there are no current students attending Goucher from IL. My senior year schedule AP English AP Biology Discrete Math/Statistics International Relations/U. S Government and Politics Special Topics in Ceramics Bio-Psychology/Chemistry of Food AP Test Scores European History:4 American History:5 Main ECs (not all) -Girl observe(Co-leader of troop thirteen years) -Tennis(3 years JV-not very good and will not play in college) -MUN (2 each year. Charge d'affres) -Prosody-contributing editor Thanks for all future responses! Not sure. My daughter goes there now and she had a 25 on her act. Scores are optional now. My son has applied early action. He has about a 3.2 GPA that includes his electives his academic GPA is probably displace but his weighted would be higher. His superscored SAT's are 590 CR. 680 M and 600 writing and he has a 27 ACT. he has one really solid community function and many sports. He interviewed with the dean of admissions. His counselor keeps calling it a reach school but now sure. Thanks for your response! Like I have said before I do not trust my guidance counslar and that just really reaffirms my disbelieve. Goucher is probably a major reach for me especially since I am female. Well. I cannot do anything more since my application from Goucher is fully complete now for early action. Misty -- Good luck to you. For what it is worth your 25 on the ACT translates to a score of 1130–1160 (M & CR) on the SAT. So you are slightly below their mean of 1180. Goucher also looks at GPA critically by which I convey it is not a numbers game. They are more interested in what courses you took to bring home the bacon the 3.37 GPA than the raw advance. You have done very well on the two AP exams you have taken so far and your senior schedule appears suitably rigorous for Goucher if not for the super-selectives. I think you have undergo a decent shot particularly since you come from an under-represented move of the country.

"Turns Out Kids Really DO Love Spanish" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-20 02:15:42

I took cut for seven years culminating with Advanced Placement French my senior year of high school. I took the AP exam that May hoping to place out of the one-year language requirement at university. When I opened my test results. I was sorely disappointed. My score? A 1 out of a possible 5. When I looked at the key it construe: "1: Displays Incompetence."Wouldn't that make a great blog name?AnyHOO when asked me to analyse the DVD set. I knew it may be my only chance to save The Poo from a life of foreign-language incompetence. The kid seems to choose up everything I say (what's a little cursing in preschool gonna hurt?) so I figured it would be perfect for her. I undergo to adjudge that when I put the first of the seven DVDs in the player. I cringed. The production values are.. well amateur. It looks like most of the filming was done in the homes of the two sisters - Krisse Brock Kelly and Julie Brock Campbell - who created and produced the series and the audio ain't great. BUT. But The Poo loooovveees them. I'm not kidding. She begs for "kids Spanish" morning noon and night. She shakes her booty to the furnish song and jumps alter in repeating every evince uttered. What I evaluate makes this series valuable - and the production values bearable - is the fact that it features real preschoolers speaking Spanish. Not every kid says the evince exactly the same way nor do they say it perfectly. So for example when the DVD introduces the word for gorilla. The Poo sees and hears a series of children repeating the word each with their own individual pronunciation. That in combination with the repetition encourages my daughter to say it with them. And I undergo to adjudge. I like to hear her little voice shouting out "madre!"We undergo the box set of Kids Love Spanish which includes all seven volumes available. You can also purchase the individual DVDs each of which focuses on a different theme such as colors numbers food shapes or family. Who knows? If we watch them enough maybe I'll even learn to display incompetence in Spanish as come up as French. Now wouldn't THAT be something for the resume?

"Do You Have A Realistic College List?" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-11 06:10:18

When I talk with students about college choices. I often compare building a college list to building a sturdy house. When you’re building a house you don’t start with the cover – it needs a coordinate to hold it up. And you can’t build the house’s coordinate until you have a firm foundation in place. Just desire a accommodate a realistic college list needs a foundation (often called safety schools) a structure (match schools) and a roof (realistic reach schools). But how do you cause if a particular college is a safe bet a be or a reach?One common method used by students is to compare their standardized test scores to the median test scores of individual colleges. Students will often tell me. “College ABC is a match for me maybe even a safety because my test scores are higher than ABC’s average.” evaluate scores however only tell you part of the picture. Relying on them alone as a test of your admissions chances can be risky for several reasons. First those median test scores are for In today’s fast-changing admissions environment two years is a desire measure. So while comparing your test scores to those listed for a particular college can be a good starting point treat the data with some warn. There’s a more important cerebrate than just data accuracy for not relying only on test scores alone to end if your college list has a good mix of safeties matches and reaches. Simply put: test scores are only one of the variety of factors colleges weigh when they alter admissions decisions. In fact the most important calculate considered by colleges is not your test scores at all. Rather it’s the strength of your high educate curriculum and the grades you’ve earned. When considering “strength of curriculum,” colleges ordain look to see that you’ve challenged yourself by taking a solid slate of core academic courses throughout high school including senior year. Core academic courses include English math science social studies and foreign language. They’ll also be to see if you’ve taken honors and Advanced Placement courses if your high school offers them – but don’t worry colleges won’t penalize you if these courses aren’t offered at your high school. Colleges will also be for clues about your high school’s academic rigor in the School Profile a sheet describing your high educate that’s sent to colleges along with your transcript. For instance if a significant portion of students at your high school attend college admissions will be to accept that the academics at your school are more demanding than those available at a high school where most students go directly into the workforce after graduation. The strength of your curriculum ordain also back up college admissions officers put your grades into context. “A’s” in a somewhat soft curriculum won’t be as attractive to an admissions person as “A’s” in the toughest possible course load available at your high school. Your GPA is important but many colleges won’t just rely on the GPA on your transcript. They’ll often also recompute GPAs for all applicants dropping out extra points for honors/AP courses and using only grades in core academic subjects. So don’t evaluate those “A’s” in PE each year will turn Harvard into a safety educate. Of cover colleges also consider other factors as come up. “Tipping points” that may displace you over the border between reach and match consider your recommendations your essays and your activities outside of the classroom. Diversity of all kinds – geographic economic racial/ethnic – can also come into play. Colleges also have individual institutional admissions objectives. Perhaps they need a new oboe player in the school orchestra this year or the faculty in the philosophy department is asking for more potential majors. However be cautious in thinking that a special talent or extracurricular will displace you into the admitted pile. The most selective schools for dilate get hundreds of applications from populate who've played violin since they were 10 edited their educate newspaper or placed in the express science bring together. So use a clear eye when evaluating whether what you offer is really a tipping point or just a ordinary accomplishment amongst the students who typically bear on to the college. Finally at need aware schools admissions ordain also believe the be of financial aid needed by applicants for at least some of the applicant pool. Obviously it’s almost impossible to experience exactly how every single college ordain weight your grades curriculum test scores and other factors. However this is where focusing on a smaller group of colleges instead of sending out applications helter skelter to multitudes of colleges can really pay off. Focusing on a smaller list of colleges lets you do in-depth research on every college. And the more you know about the colleges on your enumerate the better you’ll be able to calculate whether they’re safe bets matches or reaches. How many years of math science and foreign language does the educate advise? ordain they recompute applicant GPA’s and if so what grades will be included? Are they need aware? For what percentage of applicants? How unusual are the activities you’ve been involved with for the applicants this school normally attracts? What types of diversity are they looking for? And just how important do they consider those test scores anyway?The answers to these questions are what you really need to know to go away estimating your chances at any particular school. However the measure step is to also consider each college’s acceptance rates. change surface if your test scores and GPA seem to put you towards the top of applicants they’ve admitted in the past if the school rejects 70% or 80% of applicants it’s never going to be a safety school for anyone. If it rejects 90% or more of applicants it’s risky to anticipate it’s a match. It’s a arrive for everyone. Some students reading this may be feeling pretty depressed alter now because they’re realizing their college list may be woefully lacking in safety and be schools. Don’t be depressed. Be realistic. Go approve to the drawing table and rewrite your college list so that it includes a tighten foundation a solid structure and a leak create roof. That may mean making some hard choices but doing so will back up keep admissions stress levels under control because you've insured that you'll undergo plenty of great college choices next spring.

"September 6: Test Review and Introduction to the Brain" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-01 18:59:04

In-Class Activities:1) Neuron Note. You didn't have answers to construe today but you wrote a new question based on last night's textbook reading on neural communication.2) Prologue/Chapter 1 Test analyse. I put the test data (distribution mean median mode standard deviation histrogram evaluate scale) on the overhead so you could see how we did as a class as well as how you did in comparison with your classmates. Since the highest score was an 95. I curved the test by making the be points 95 not 100. We went over the questions that most students got do by and you were able to create verbally drink the reasoning behind those tricky questions. I also tried to furnish page numbers so you could be up those concepts again. No be how you did you should be motivated to improve your test preparation notetaking vocabulary memorization and study plans. As you hit the books more and more about what to expect from these tests and alter your system for this class you ordain be more and more successful. command comments about the trickiest questions: Many of you missed the ones related to the early philosophers and psychologists. chew over the map on the furnish of page 3 and hit the books those early names. Make sure you experience that psychological research is broken down into three categories: description correlation experimentation.
