1) The document discusses standardized testing in education and whether it accurately measures student achievement and improves education.
2) While standardized tests aim to evaluate student and school performance, they are limited in only assessing core subjects and don't account for student performance in other areas.
3) The pressures of standardized tests can cause stress on students and teachers and lead to "teaching to the test" rather than broad learning.

Open book exams allow you to take notes. texts or resource materials into an exam hall.
They test the student’s ability to find and apply information and knowledge. so are often used in subjects requiring direct reference to written materials like law students. statistics or acts to govt. rules.
The challenges of Assessment and Feedback: findings from an HEA projectDenise Whitelock
The challenges of Assessment and Feedback: findings from an HEA project – Denise Whitelock (IET)
This project was undertaken by IET and colleagues from the University of Southampton and is just producing its final report. The project's aim was to produce a synthesis of evidence based research which throws light on the progress made in the practice of Assessment and Feedback in H.E. This presentation will highlight findings with respect to authentic assessment, e-portfolios, peer assessment, feedback for language learning and Advice for Action.
Believing in students is one of the most powerful change agents in schools. Getting students to believe in themselves occurs when we show students we believe in them, listen to our students, earn our students’ trust, value what students value, give students a voice, and celebrate what students do right. This session will share how a staff can work together to put their students first and establish a model culture with a personalized environment where every student is known, feels valued, and achieves!
Adapting Assessment Practices for Student LeadersAmma Marfo
A structured conversation conducted with Dr. Adam Peck of Stephen F. Austin University, in conjunction with Student Affairs Assessment Leaders.
For many student affairs professionals, the responsibility of collecting assessment has been an added job for which they fear they may not have sufficient time or energy to devote. Additionally, many don’t feel expert in these methodologies. Many are far more comfortable with their role as educators in helping students develop new competencies and make new discoveries. This webinar discussed some practical approaches to training student leaders to conduct valid programmatic and learning outcomes assessment in ways that benefit both students and the programs they care about most.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2. What is a Standardized Test?
• “A Standardized test is any form of test that requires all test takers
to answer the same questions in the same way and that is scored
in a “standard” or consistent manner. Which makes it possible to
compare the relative performance of individual students or
groups of students.”
• Standardized Tests are a form of assessment.
3. Question
• Does standardized testing accurately measure a student’s
achievement and improve education?
• I wanted to learn more on how and why standardized
tests are used and if they are effective. I am that student
that does well on assignments but terrible on tests. This
always effected my grades.
4. Purpose
• The purpose of standardized
testing is to evaluate their students
progress or lack of. This gives the
schools an idea of what and where
needs improvement.
5. No Child Left Behind
• The NCLB Act of 2001 requires schools to give standardized tests and their
results will determine what funding's they receive.
• Schools are usually tested every year in Math, Reading, Writing, Science, and
Social Studies depending on what state you live in.
6. Pros
• Standardized testing gives teachers, students, and parents a idea of how the
student is doing in core classes.
• Standardized testing holds teachers and schools accountable.
• Testing allows different schools, distracts, states compare results.
• Standardized test results give teacher and schools a guideline on what
students are progressing and or lacking in.
7. Cons
• Standardized tests only evaluate students achievements in core classes such as,
English, Math, and Science.
• Standardized tests do not factor in the notion that some student’s just do not
perform well on tests.
• Standardized testing causes teachers to ”teach by the tests”, meaning they teach only
what the tests focus on.
• Standardized tests puts high pressures and causes high stress on students and
teacher to do well on them.
• Schools depend on good scores to receive federal funds.
8. Analysis
• After all my research I have found more negative stands on standardized
tests than positive ones. I found that although the test do give some guideline
of how the student’s and school are progressing, they do not accurately
factor in subjects such as, art, music, technology, and so on. They focus on
“core” subjects, Math, Reading, Writing, and Science.
• Many parents wrote blog posts about how stressed their children became and
how much pressure one felt. Teachers spoke about how the pressure of how
well their students performed determined how and what they taught.
9. Conclusion
• My definition of what education should be involves a student that is well-rounded
in all aspects. Some students like myself simply are not good test takers but perform
well on assignments and in class. Standardized testing does not measure that
growth. Standardized testing does give some form of guide on how schools can and
should improve but do not give an accurate measure on student’s achievements.
• A student’s achievements should be based more then just one test. It should include
their performance in the classroom, extra curricular activity, art, music, and
technology. A student should be able to show how well they can perform on more
than just core subjects.
