(Ed.note: Gender equity will be on the agenda on Monday night at the Evansville School district monthly meeting. I have posted a portion of the discussion from the August meeting that led to the issue having a separate agenda listing this month. Enjoy.)
First of Two Video: Melissa Hammann speaks on how the 4 period day functions for boys v. girls, and questions with respect to the annual self evaluation of school districts whether Evansville needs to make changes so as to to make education successful for boys. In the past 8 years ACT scores have climbed from 19 to 23 for girls whereas for scores have remained constant for boys. Supr. Carvin mentioned that the boys had AG education.

I don't think changing things drastically is going to make a big difference in what they see.
ReplyDeleteI think they need to stress maybe more to the boys the importance to do well on these tests and what these tests really can mean.
I also think that they have quite a few boys who ' ace' these tests.
I think the grades on these tests correspond quite well as how these same boys normally do.
There are alot of factors that effect the out come of these tests not just one. Some of it is just plan desire.
