A New Method for Determining Rate of Progress in a Small School System: A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of ... for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy - Softcover
Synopsis
This book presents a method for calculating the rate of progress within a school system. The author, a citizen and former employee of the town in question, gives evidence for the urgency of a new method to improve the school system and what he believes are its current mismeasurements and failings. Using statistics from two different groups of students over an eleven-year period, the author argues that the traditional age-grade standard for measuring student retention and graduation rates is flawed. The author maintains that this method results in dramatically lower retention and graduation rates than his proposed method, which he suggests is able to more accurately determine a school's efficiency and shortcomings.
