The Most Important Words Bill Gates Wrote In The Goalkeepers Report

This one appears to be their more generalized newsletter…  But either way, it’s still from the neo-liberal, educational privatizers masquerading as an academic body – so the term research here is used VERY loosely (as none of this actually represents methodologically sound, reliable, valid, or empirical research in any real way).

Check out this month’s highlights from the Christensen Institute.

Centering Student Perspectives in School Improvement Efforts: Highlander Institute’s Student Experience Survey 

Over the last twenty years teachers have been tasked with collecting, analyzing, and using endless amounts of testing data in their classrooms. While this data can help us identify where students are struggling and understand patterns of progress, it has not translated into more equitable outcomes for students.

How can we expand our thinking about student data to go beyond creating academic interventions? Can a holistic approach to measurement provide more meaningful insights and greater impact?

During the 2020-2021 school year, our Research & Impact team developed the Student Experience Survey to quantify and analyze the learning experiences reported by different student groups across grades 3-12. We know there is a strong evidence base connecting academic success to concepts such as belonging, academic mindset, cognitive skills, and engagement. Our team wanted to understand how student perspectives in these areas might differ based on lunch status, race, grade level, gender identity, or status as English Language Learners or Special Education students.

Initial survey administration at our partner schools yielded fascinating results. Click below to learn more.
