The 56 % meeting or exceeding standard for CA's grade 11 E / LA result was an outlier with blinking red lights that defies
meaningful interpretation other than a grossly discrepant cut score (to the low side) or some other test development flaw (such as an inadequate item bank for a computer - adaptive test) or an error in the test administration or scoring process, or some weird effect due to the increased
number of grade 11 students with scores since EAP
moved from voluntary to mandatory in 2015 [which usually would involve a decrease in scores, a reasonable interpretation for the decrease in Math EAP scores this year, rather than an increase in scores].
In short, CSR
moves from being a quaint notion about doing nice things to being understood as
meaningful to the culture of the company when the
number of women in decision - making roles increases.
