When I started to write this book, I was 19 years old. I was finishing my sophomore year at UMass Lowell. Even though I had not reached my 20s yet, I had experienced a lot in my college career. I had just finished a Fall Semester of 24 credits (8 classes) while on the Division 1 Track & Field team. I was finishing up the Spring Semester of 27 credits (9 classes) while working full-time at an internship.Flash forward about a year, I am 20 years old and finished my college classes, debt-free, and have been working a full-time upper level role for the past 9 months at one of the top companies in my field.Why am I telling you this? I tell my story to you because I was not the top of my class in high school. I didn't get a perfect score of the SAT. I failed 5 out of the 7 AP tests I took in high school. I'm here to tell you that as soon as you walk off that stage at high school graduation, you are in control. No matter what cards you have been dealt, you have the chance to create your own future.As you read through this book you will get a look into the experiences I had during my college years and how you can change the course of your life using the tips written for you. I wrote this book for you. It does not matter what has happened in the past, your story begins here and now. I wrote this book so that you can take what I have learned and use it to build the life that you want.

This book is written for all university and college teachers interested in experimenting with discussion methods in their classrooms. Discussion as a Way of Teaching is a book full of ideas, techniques, and usable suggestions on: * How to prepare students and teachers to participate in discussion * How to get discussions started * How to keep discussions going * How to ensure that teachers' and students' voices are kept in some sort of balance It considers the influence of factors of race, class and gender on discussion groups and argues that teachers need to intervene to prevent patterns of inequity present in the wider society automatically reproducing themselves inside the discussion-based classroom. It also grounds the evaluation of discussions in the multiple subjectivities of students' perceptions. An invaluable and helpful resource for university and college teachers who use, or are thinking of using, discussion approaches.

How do you judge the quality of a school, a district, a teacher, a student? By the test scores, of course. Yet for all the talk, what educational tests can and can’t tell you, and how scores can be misunderstood and misused, remains a mystery to most. The complexities of testing are routinely ignored, either because they are unrecognized, or because they may be—well, complicated. Inspired by a popular Harvard course for students without an extensive mathematics background, Measuring Up demystifies educational testing—from MCAS to SAT to WAIS, with all the alphabet soup in between. Bringing statistical terms down to earth, Daniel Koretz takes readers through the most fundamental issues that arise in educational testing and shows how they apply to some of the most controversial issues in education today, from high-stakes testing to special education. He walks readers through everyday examples to show what tests do well, what their limits are, how easily tests and scores can be oversold or misunderstood, and how they can be used sensibly to help discover how much kids have learned.
