[tips] How Much Value is Added at Elite Institutions - Response to Haim #2
Some subscribers to TIPS and TeachEdPsych might be interested in a recent post How Much Value is Added at Elite Institutions - Response to Haim #2 [Hake (2011d)]. ABSTRACT: In my post How Much Value is Added at Elite Institutions? [Hake (2011c)], I wrote: . . . . demonstrations that the less-than-stellar value-added assessments of Korsunsky's high school and Stuyvesant High School are inequitable would require meaningful value-added measures such as normalized average pre-to-posttest gains on valid and consistently reliable tests of higher-order learning. . . Math-Teach's Haim responded: The problem is that you are not sure what you are measuring. NONSENSE! In the case of Harvard, the higher-order learning consisted of conceptual understanding of Newtonian mechanics. Haim continued First, parents and students seem to know something about Stuyvesant that educator assessments clearly fail to discern. . . . . Second . . . very many of Stuyvesant's students graduate at a very high level (certainly by comparison to most other high school graduates) of academic achievement. . . . the real problem is transparent. It is the ceiling effect. . . .City-wide and state-wide assessments are simply not designed for academic institutions. The above has nothing whatsoever to do with the theme of my post: It is conceivable that if there were 'Eric Mazurs' or 'John Belchers' at Korsunsky's high-school and the Stuyvesant High School, scenarios similar to that at Harvard and MIT might occur. . . . . [[i.e., realization that students were not learning much from traditional passive-student lecture methods followed by a switch to interactive-engagement pedagogy.]]. . . . , even though all those institutions are regarded as 'elite.'

[tips] Racial-mentoring in Pennsylvania
A school district in Pa. has okayed a plan where black students can attend some sessions of tutoring taught by black mentors.I personally approve of the necessity to hold certain classes for black students taught by black teachers. As a matter of fact,black students performed very well academically in the days of segregation.There is also noted evidence that girls fare better in all girls' scho0ols.
