Until they can answer, let's tell them to shut up." —Susan Ohanian (One Size Fits Few: The Folly of Educational Standards) Interversity ProjectsEchoes of Orwell:The purpose of this webforum is to promote a lively discussion among students and faculty alike about George Orwell's 1984 and the parallels or echoes found in today's society. |

----- Original Message ----- From: Diane Stark Rentner To: cep-news@cep-dc.org Sent: Monday, March 03, 2008 12:22 PM Subject: New CEP Policy Brief on High School Exit Exams Last week, the Center on Education Policy released a policy brief that highlights two patterns in state high school exit exam pass rates. CEP found that (1) states with higher percentages of white students passing exit exams also tend to report higher pass rates for students of color; and (2) states with higher overall pass rates tend to report smaller achievement gaps between subgroups. The policy brief, "State High School Exit Exams: Patterns in Gaps in Pass Rates," is posted on the CEP homepage (www.cep-dc.org) as the first item under "What's New." Diane Stark Rentner Director of National Programs Center on Education Policy 1001 Connecticut Avenue NW Suite 522 Washington, D.C. 20036 Ph. 202-822-8065 Fax 202-822-6008 Web www.cep-dc.org
