This document outlines a proposed platform called Soci.us to make group projects more efficient for both teachers and students. It discusses building separate but linked sites for teachers and students, with features like group pairing, grading tools, and project rubric creation for teachers, and a safe communication forum and individual contribution tracking for students. Research found students dislike group work but want credit, while teachers want collaboration but quality work. Challenges include developing two sites easily accessed by different user types. Proposed flows show teachers creating and managing projects, and students viewing, contributing to, and grading work within their groups.

The document is a debate brief that outlines arguments for both sides of whether the US should adopt a carbon tax. The brief includes sections on the affirmative arguments around the social cost of carbon, inducing a switch to renewable energy, and deficit reduction.

The document provides context and evidence for considering the social cost of carbon in debates on climate policy.
December Standardized Testing Brief (1).compressedRyan Moore
This document discusses the benefits of standardized testing in K-12 education in the United States. It provides evidence from multiple studies that show:
1) Students who take AP exams are more likely to enroll and succeed in college, obtaining degrees faster and at a lower cost compared to non-AP students. AP exam scores are also correlated with graduation rates.
2) AP exam participation and performance are causally linked to higher rates of on-time college graduation, even after accounting for other factors like academic background. This can represent thousands of dollars in tuition savings.
3) Studies that match AP and non-AP students find the AP students receive higher college GPAs, SAT scores, and develop skills like time management
