Sentences with phrase «grade graduation present»

Not exact matches

As states across the U.S. move to adopt standardized tests as a means to determine grade promotion and school graduation, new research presented in the Harvard Educational Review shows that sole reliance on high - stakes tests as a graduation requirement may increase inequities among students by both race and gender.

However, high stakes decisions involving tracking, grade promotion, admission to dual - credit courses and graduation based on a single testing event present major educational and motivational challenges.
