The document summarizes a feasibility report investigating how Ohio school districts determine which schools receive the "Blue Ribbon" award for academic excellence. The report questions whether the process accurately measures school quality or pressures schools to game the system. Specifically, it alleges that one school, Monfort Heights Elementary, earns points for statewide test scores by choosing specific groups of students likely to pass the tests, rather than demonstrating an ability to educate all students effectively. The document suggests the process may not be a true reflection of school performance and quality of education. It identifies teachers, students, parents, and the Ohio Department of Education as relevant audiences for investigating these issues.

Assuming most or all of you have a college degree or two and that your degree was the second or third biggest purchase of your life…
Was your degree a good value? Do you feel like you got what you paid for? Anyone want a refund???
Are you still deriving benefits from the degree – or has the dividends shrunk over time?
Do any of you wish you had shopped around more before attending the institution? What additional questions would you have asked?
This presentation examines the rise of students as informed consumers.

African American Males Are Equally Intelligent: Increasing Academic Rigor Thr...jamathompson
This workshop will discuss the advantages of African American males enrolled into rigorous courses, such as Advanced Placement (AP). Research has demonstrated that these students are more likely to do well and graduate high school. Additionally, AP students increase their opportunities to earn college scholarships and graduate college in four years. Workshop participants will acquire knowledge that will encourage African American males to accept the challenge of academic rigor, which can help to minimize the academic achievement gap.
Unfinished: Insights From Ongoing Work to Accelerate Outcomes for Students Wi...Jeremy Knight
Despite some gains over the past 20 years, significant numbers of students are not meeting grade-level expectations as defined by performance on academic assessments. Meanwhile, few schools are able to support the sort of accelerated academic learning needed to catch students up to grade-level expectations.
Evidence indicates this is not for lack of educator commitment or dedication. Instead, many educators lack clarity about how to help students catch up. Common messages about holding a high bar for academic rigor and personalizing learning to meet students where they are can be perceived as being at odds with one another.
“Unfinished: Insights From Ongoing Work to Accelerate Outcomes for Students With Learning Gaps” synthesizes a broad body of research on the science of learning in order to inform efforts to help students close gaps and meet grade-level expectations. This deck argues that helping students catch up is not about rigor or personalization — classrooms need both.
Closing learning gaps requires students to be motivated and engaged to grapple with challenging, grade-level skills and knowledge — while also having their individual learning needs met.
The report identifies what must happen among educators, systems-level leaders, teacher developers, instructional materials providers, and technology experts to move beyond the dichotomy of “rigor versus personalization” and toward a future that effectively blends the two.
