☆ Should the SAT still matter after all these years? Why some colleges are bringing it back
  + stars: | 2024-04-21 | by ( Eva Rothenberg | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +15 min
The longest-enduring standardized college admissions test in the nation, the SAT has faced decades of controversy over bias and criticism for reducing aspiring college students to a test score. Discrepancies with standardized testing appear to be symptomatic of the inequality endemic to the education system. In 2005, the College Board added an 800-point writing section to the exam alongside its math and verbal reasoning sections. In this Jan. 17, 2016 file photo, a sign is seen at the entrance to a hall for a college test preparation class in Bethesda, Md. Alex Brandon/APThe College Board told CNN it has also done away with its esoteric vocabulary in the past decade.

☆ Opinion | Economics Textbooks Are Finally Getting a Vital Update
  + stars: | 2024-01-17 | by ( Peter Coy | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
But for nearly 15 years, leading introductory economics textbooks gave students an outdated or incomplete explanation of how the Federal Reserve conducts monetary policy. Only now are the textbooks catching up with reality, and some still haven’t fully embraced the new world. And the Council for Economic Education, a nonprofit, is aiming to publish updated standards for what high school economics students should know in 2025. Still, it’s disappointing — though maybe not surprising — that it has taken so long for the notoriously slow-moving world of education to catch up. To explain where the textbooks lagged, I need to do a quick run through the recent changes in monetary policy.

☆ Why Is the College Board Pushing to Expand Advanced Placement?
  + stars: | 2023-11-18 | by ( Dana Goldstein | More About Dana Goldstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
For the past two decades, the College Board has moved aggressively to expand the number of high school students taking Advanced Placement courses and tests — in part by pitching the program to low-income students and the schools that serve them. “Why are we holding it for some?”Left out of that narrative is one of the most sobering statistics in education: Some 60 percent of A.P. exams taken by low-income students this year scored too low for college credit — 1 or 2 out of 5 — a statistic that has not budged in 20 years. Nevertheless, the College Board, citing its own research, says its A.P. program helps all students, regardless of scores, do better in college — a claim that has helped persuade states and local districts to help pay for the tests.

☆ Ron DeSantis Wants to Tell the Future by Controlling the Past - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-07-28 | by ( Jamelle Bouie | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
It’s an important point that you can also find in the College Board’s Advanced Placement class in African American Studies. “In addition to agricultural work, enslaved people learned specialized trades and worked as painters, carpenters, tailors, musicians and healers in the North and South,” the A.P. “Once free, African Americans used these skills to provide for themselves and others.”Similar points, yes, but the language isn’t quite the same. To say that any more than a fortunate few could “parlay” their skills into anything that might improve their lives is to spin a fiction. For them, there was no point after slavery where they could use their skills.

☆ Florida Schools Question Content on Gender and Sexuality in A.P. Psychology
  + stars: | 2023-06-15 | by ( Dana Goldstein | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Ron DeSantis, a Republican presidential candidate, Florida has been a leader among conservative states that have passed laws restricting how gender, sexuality and race can be taught in kindergarten through 12th grade. Few organizations have had a more difficult time navigating these limitations than the College Board, whose Advanced Placement program offers 40 courses that are available across the country. teachers in Florida, we are heartbroken by the possibility of Florida students being denied the opportunity to participate in this or any other A.P. Psychology stands in marked contrast to its response to Florida’s efforts last year to influence the curriculum of A.P. classes whose content, as interpreted by schools and teachers, might run counter to new conservative regulations on how race, gender and sexuality are discussed in the classroom.

☆ Opinion | Why Conservatives Can’t Stop Talking About Aristotle

Stephanie Joyce and Isaac Jones , Pat McCusker , Sonia Herrero andRepublican-led legislatures have recently made it clear what they don’t want taught in public school classrooms: sexuality, gender identity, structural racism. But when it comes to what they do want, one approach frequently arises: classical education. The central tenet of classical education is that students should focus on the Western canon, usually starting with the ancient Greeks. In 2015, he founded a company that developed the Classic Learning Test, or CLT, as an alternative to the College Board’s SAT.

☆ What intersectionality actually means and why it matters
  + stars: | 2023-04-19 | by ( Leah Asmelash | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +8 min
Here’s what you should know about intersectionality – what exactly it means, and why it matters. Co-founder and executive director of the African American Policy Forum Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the phrase intersectionality in 1989. As part of that larger movement, terms like intersectionality and intersectional feminism became much more prevalent in left-leaning circles. People practice Judaism differently, and thus different sects may face different problems. In that group alone, there may be LGBTQ+ men, men from lower economic backgrounds or men with disabilities.
