[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are there any studies, links or profiles in regards to Bates model that poster from 12:15 described?

I think the description is interesting and points to some issues that I have.  Where I think some people are too quick to point to lower performing schools due to SES factors and there is nothing that schools or the district can do about it.  But the description about Bates proves otherwise.

I was going to say something similar how textbooks not being used anymore is just changing times and something to adapt to.  But for myself, am more comfortable with a text book in front of me instead of just staring at a screen.  But I'm probably a relic of the past as well.[/quote]

12:15 here - my experience at Bates is through a friend who is a teacher there and having several friends with kids there, so I don't have any academic literature or anything - just really positive anecdotes.
Here's a little more info on the school, though:  http://www.edutopia.org/stw-arts-integration

Also, This American Life a few months ago did a series on integration in schools and it featured a Rhode Island school district with a very similar magnet model.
