Are National College Tests Fit To Use At The State Level To Determine Educational Effectiveness?
Submitted by The Kaarme Team on Wed, 2010-09-01 18:45.ACT | Educational Accountability | SAT | standardized tests | WorkKeys
The use of national college admission tests to assess the achievement of state high school learning standards and high school accountability has become a growing phenomenon in American education. Yet, although this test application has been adopted by a number of states, there has been little independent analysis and evaluation of its appropriateness and validity for all constituents.
This CEEP Special Report is intended to frame a series of key baseline issues (and offer corresponding recommendations) for state policymakers, practitioners, and researchers as they consider and evaluate the current and/or future use of traditional admission tests to assess achievement and accountability.

During the fall of senior year, try to schedule overnight visits in a residence hall at the schools which most interest you.

In March of 2000, Pat Buchanan came to speak at Harvard University’s Institute of Politics. Harvard being Harvard, the audience hissed and sneered and made wisecracks. Buchanan being Buchanan, he gave as good as he got. While the assembled Ivy Leaguers accused him of homophobia and racism and anti-Semitism, he accused Harvard — and by extension, the entire American elite — of discriminating against white Christians.

Submitted by The Kaarme Team on Sun, 2010-07-25 16:48.Low Income Students | Social Inequality | Social Reform
With a lingering recession sending Americans (back) to college in record numbers, and an administration determined to improve the country's record on degree attainment, higher education, more than ever, has plenty of public attention. But a new book argues that higher education in the United States is falling ever more short on a variety of fronts -- particularly when it comes to those students who, theoretically, should stand to gain the most from it.
