Boys Underachievement: Contextualising ‘Gaps In Educational AttainmentMike Blamires
Dr Steve Strand presented some of his findings from the Longitudinal Study of Young People in England (2007) in order to explore Boys' underachievement: Contextualising ‘gaps' in educational attainment. His research has shown the attainment gap at age 16, in terms of gender, ethnic group and socio-economic class, to be in inverse rank to the extent of press and media attention (total points score 0.22, 0.61 and 1.29 respectively). However, the interaction effects of these variables are significant (e.g. the gender gap is much larger for Black Caribbean and Bangladeshi pupils than for White British pupils), and call for more "nuanced interpretations"; care also needs to be taken not to over-generalise to the individual. http://www.ttrb.ac.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?ContentId=15098
EdChoice's 2018 Schooling in America SurveyEdChoice
Teachers and K–12 education made headlines this year. Elections can only tell us so much about what the public thinks about K–12 education. That's why we look to polls like EdChoice's six-years-running "Schooling in America Survey," which allows us to provide a clear picture of Americans' views and attitudes on K–12 issues. For this year's survey, we interviewed a representative national sample of 1,803 American adults, including an extra 533 school-aged parents. Most notably, we surveyed a separate sample of 777 public school teachers.

Breaking Down the 2019 Schooling in America SurveyEdChoice
Americans’ satisfaction with K–12 education reached a 15-year high this year, according to Gallup. But do parents and teachers agree? Is there consensus among generations? Growing education reform efforts indicate there’s more under the surface.
EdChoice's 2019 Schooling in America Survey with Braun Research measures American attitudes toward big issues in K–12 education and digs deeper with parents, public school teachers, Millennials and Generation Z.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

2. School questions
What are the right benchmarks?
◦ Comparison of Amesbury’s MCAS to surrounding towns are frequently used
◦ Shouldn’t we compare to demographically similar communities?
◦ Do demographics have an impact on what the standardized test measures?
What are the true budget drivers
◦ Do we know the rate of increase on budget on SPED as a percentage of the Amesbury budget?
3. In spite of cuts to programming, the schools are showing results
There have been steady gains against state averages
Amesbury Elementary schools had the highest MCAS scores in the area for the last two years
This is up from the bottom scores in the area in 2007
A strong start will lead to continued excellence as students move the grades.
For example - Last years 5th grade had the highest % of Advanced scores in the area on last
year’s MCAS
4. Analysis Approach
•It is important to look at MCAS as one piece of data. There are other feedback
measures to support planning and improvement across all student groups.
• It is critical to look at details:
• The specifics of various subgroup performances against each specific goal.
• The performance of a class (cohort) as they move through the grades.
• Performance by subject level.
• A comprehensive approach is the best way to help our students reach excellence.
Thoughtful analysis will support better planning
• Areas of excellence and specific areas or groups that need additional focus for
improvement.
5. Success in Middle School and High School starts in Elementary
Significant and steady progress has been made in Amesbury over the last
7 years
Amesbury has had the top scores of all elementary schools in the area for
the last two years
This year’s 6th graders had the most Advanced scores in 5th grade ELA in
the region
All Amesbury schools have made consistent progress vs. demographically
similar districts
In 2013 Amesbury had the top scores vs. similar districts identified by the
DESE
6. Segments - subgroups, cohorts, high needs?
It is important to look at scores by segments and to follow trends over time by each category.
Segments are way to break down scores by different characteristics which make analysis more
meaningful. There are consistent performance gaps between subgroups so understanding the
makeup of each population and how each group is performing relative to peer groups and goals
is important.
Segments where there are consistent performance differences include:
1. Gender – boys score lower than girls on MCAS – fairly consistent test gap
2. Income – Lower Income correlates strongly to lower test scores
3. ELL – English Language Learners
4. Race
5. Special Needs
7. Demographic overviews

Free Lunch 18.4 7.7 32.1
Reduced Lunch 5.3 1.7 4.9
High Needs 35.6 21.6 47.9
8. Amesbury's demographics drive improvement goals
Amesbury should look at each group when it is analyzing and planning improvements
Why this population difference is important
• Across all districts in the state Females outperform Males on MCAS scores
• In the 2013 test 24.6% Females scored advanced on MCAS vs. 20.1% of Males.
• Amesbury has a higher population of boys that will impact any simple comparison to districts with a different % of boys vs. girls
• This holds true for other subgroups – SPED, Low Income, High Needs, etc. where Amesbury has a higher share of students in those
groups than surrounding communities
• Looking at scores generically as the Daily News does, isn’t best practice.

• For the class of 2015 they started below
the State average in Elementary school
and made progress.
Surrounding communities had stronger
scores in elementary and were able to
maintain that advantage
14. Progress is happening at Amesbury Middle School
In the 2013 MCAS test the AMS 5th graders had the
highest percentage of Advanced scores in the area.
This is a strong indicator of the groundwork laid at the
elementary schools to be extended through to all
levels.
15. Progress of 4th grade advanced ELA
Amesbury is also focused on driving Advanced scores.
Amesbury has had a higher % of 4th grade students score advanced
on MCAS than the State or Newburyport since 2009.
Our advanced scores are trending upwards. If we are focused on
giving our students a strong start, they can have a strong finish.
This graph shows the % of students scoring advanced in 4th grade over the years.

19. School Investment trends
• Schools are the largest local cost
• Chapter 70, the main form of state reimbursement, hasn’t kept pace with needs or mandates
• Sped costs are accelerating as a % of the budget
• Investment is needed to maintain positive growth
20. School Investment Summary
• The increases in local spending are largely driven by gaps in Chapter 70 aid and increases in special
education costs
• The schools have been working hard to maintain a positive trend vs local communities and demographic
peers.
• At the same time, the schools have seen significant reductions in program offerings.
.
21. Trend Budget and State Revenue
• No other city or town that received
a similar amount of Chapter 70
money in 2000 is receiving less aid
in 2013 except for Amesbury
• These deficits shift the financial
burden to the local tax base.
• Maintaining staff and programming
costs money the state isn't
providing.
• To offset losses from the state,
Amesbury has mad significant cuts
to programming over the last ten

We've seen some of the success stories of what our teachers and students have been able to do with less. But at
what cost? Questions left to answer: If our scores are growing, why are families choosing to leave Amesbury
schools? How many students can we afford to lose? If more of our regular ed students go to other schools and our
SPED ratio increases, what will the impact be?
Editor's Notes
Do we need details on other mechanisms in place.. I know there are new tests in place..
Other feedback mechanisms used – (need to clarify other test we give kids)
Lexile
Mapp
(let’s agree on terminology.. I always use segment but seems like sub group is term used in GOV.. )
Will opposition jump on this as management issue.?
