[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh gosh here we go again![/quote] Yep. The report says this: [quote]...focus these programs on selecting equitably from among those applicants that demonstrate a capacity to thrive in the program, that include use of non-cognitive criteria, group-specific norms that benchmark student performance against school peers with comparable backgrounds...[/quote] They cite a papere: Peters, Scott, J. & Gentry, Marcia (2012). Group-Specific Norms and Teacher-Rating Scales: Implications for Underrepresentation. Journal of Advanced Academics 23(2), 125-144. [url]http://geri.education.purdue.edu/PDF%20Files/GENTRY/PetersGentry12.pdf[/url] Rather than rebooting the conversation and making assumptions, why not discuss the paper? At least that's a concrete starting point and better than jumping to conclusions about what MCPS may or may not propose based on this one sub-recomendation. [/quote]
