EPAA Vol. 10 No. 49 Livingston: Failing Georgia: The Case Against the Ban on Social Promotion Defining social promotion is somewhat difficult because the meaning behind the practice has become so infused with professional, political and academic agendas that it seems impossible to reach common ground. Reasoning that social promotion is unfair to teachers, Governor Barnes charged the legislature with passing a bill that would require every student to pass an exit examination before being promoted to the next grade (Barnes, 2001). In Texas, where the TAAS examination is used to determine promotion and retention, groups representing Texas minority students sued the state with the claim that the criterion referenced test discriminated against minority students in violation of the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. epaa.asu.edu /epaa/v10n49   (10255 words)

California should end social promotion The San Diego Union-Tribune The mandates are intended to end "social promotion," the widespread practice of promoting students at the end of the school year regardless of their academic proficiency. Critics of such programs consider linking promotion to test results to be at best heartless and at worst devastating to a child's academic progress. Thus, social promotion might be like moving a child to solid foods simply because he is "at the proper age," regardless of whether he has teethed yet. www.signonsandiego.com /uniontrib/20041209/news_lz1e9greene.html   (746 words)

Social Promotion Opponents of social promotion argue that the absence of a fixed academic standard symbolizes a disregard for achievement, and that this regard undermines children's motivation to learn. As a result of this false sense of secutiry that often accompanies social promotion, students fail to grasp the importance of working to achieve academic goals and they learn that they can get by without working hard. In July of 1999, the United States Department of Education gave a press release entitled "Taking Responsibility for Ending Social Promotion: A Guide for Educators and State and Local Leaders", maintaining that social promotion is an unacceptable response to the problem of low-achieving students in our nation's schools (USDE 1999). www.people.cornell.edu /pages/kak42/571c.htm   (332 words)

Academic Ranks, Titles, Perquisites No regular academic rank or title may be conferred in connection with an administrative appointment unless that appointment is identified with an existing unit and the regular procedures for the conferral of academic rank and title are followed. Full-time clinical rank faculty may be involved in research which derives from their primary assignment in clinical teaching and professional service; however, continued appointment and advancement in rank must be based on performance in teaching and service, and promotion in rank must go through normal campus procedures. While holders of research ranks are not eligible for sabbatical leaves or tenure-track/tenured status (except as successful applicants for faculty tenure-line positions), they are, as are faculty, eligible for promotion in rank, for voting in and for election to the Faculty Council, and participation in the IU Retirement Plan. www.indiana.edu /~deanfac/acadguid/a.html   (15430 words)

The Chronicle: 6/17/2005: Survival Strategies for Academic Publishing They depend on the presses to publish their work, to maintain the vitality of their disciplines, and to lubricate the processes of recruitment, tenure, and promotion; and yet they generally know precious little about the forces driving presses to act in ways that are sometimes at odds with the aims and priorities of academics. To understand the problems of academic publishers today, we have to see that their current predicament is the outcome of a long process of development that stretches back to the 1970s and before. If scholarly monographs are valued by academics as a means of disseminating research and advancing knowledge in their disciplines, then the academic community cannot relinquish all responsibility for ensuring that the organizations saddled with the task of making monographs available are able to do so without being driven to the wall. www.chronicle.com /free/v51/i41/41b00601.htm   (1498 words)

Past Issues - January/February 1999 Despite the evidence, we find ourselves immersed in a bipolar debate in which one choice-social promotion-is supposedly based on soft, social factors (e.g., concerns about self-esteem or separating a student from his peer group), while the other-retention-is supposedly based on hard, objective academic criteria. Social promotion and retention both try to remedy problems after they've occurred, rather than preventing them or nipping them in the bud. No sensible person advocates social promotion as it is currently being framed-simply passing incompetent students on to the next grade. www.edletter.org /past/issues/1999-jf/promotion.shtml   (725 words)

Beyond Social Promotion and Retention—Five Strategies to Help Students Succeed Social promotion is the practice of advancing students to the next grade even when they have not mastered the material in their current grade (Denton, 2001; U.S. Department of Education, 1999). Social promotion evolved as a response to the "ills" of retention and traces its roots to the 1930s. Because of the ineffectiveness of social promotion and retention, a search is on for better ways to help students improve their school performance. www.ncrel.org /sdrs/areas/issues/students/atrisk/at800.htm   (4844 words)

Human Rights Watch: Academic Freedom Initiative The academic freedom program aims to monitor, expose, and mobilize concerted action to challenge threats to academic freedom worldwide, and to foster greater scholarly and media attention to the critical role played by institutions of higher education in the promotion of human rights and the development and preservation of civil society. Academic freedom work at Human Rights Watch is based on the recognition that such violations have received too little attention in the international human rights community. The academic freedom program seeks to address this deficiency through casework on behalf of embattled academics, collaborative efforts with other human rights organizations and concerned professional associations, thematic research and reports, and publication of an annual overview of violations in the Human Rights Watch World Report. www.hrw.org /advocacy/academic   (271 words)

NCPA - DebatesDebates - #337 Should We End Social Promotion? In Virginia we have ended social promotion in a commonsense way, with high academic standards and testing to measure students' achievement and progress. Ending social promotion is about saving children's lives, not necessarily physical death, but a blight on their life for the rest of their life. Social promotion doesn't do a child any good to pass him from grade to grade if he hasn't learned how to compute, read, and write at grade level; indeed, it hurts him. www.ncpa.org /video/trans/337.html   (8907 words)

Education Working Paper 7 An Evaluation of Florida’s Program to End Social Promotion Those opposed to ending social promotion, on the other hand, point to a wide body of research suggesting that students who are retained in a grade for an extra year are academically and emotionally harmed by the experience. For the time being, this study indicates that the use of objective testing to end social promotion leads to substantial academic gains for low-performing students, though we cannot yet determine how long these gains will persist. To end this practice, known as “social promotion,” several large school systems now require students in particular grades to demonstrate a benchmark level of mastery in basic skills by passing a standardized test before they can be promoted. www.manhattan-institute.org /html/ewp_07.htm   (7031 words)

Social Promotion Social promotion is the term used to describe the practice of passing a pupil from one grade or level to the next when the child has not completed all the requirements to qualify for that promotion. If the socially promoted pupil finds out that s/he has been given a promotion without achieving the requirements, that, too, may equally contribute to low self esteem. Raising their grades on those bases, instead of their academic achievements, serves to lower the college standards and contribute to more people having certificates that do not reflect their abilities or achievements. www.scn.org /cmp/modules/soc-pro.htm   (530 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Universities In spite of this dependence, however, the professors retained control of strictly academic affairs; they were the rectores scholarum, while the heads of the universities were rectores scholarium ; in particular, the right of promotion, i.e. Academic science was no longer in touch with reality and its controlling ideas; it was held fast in an obsolete system of instruction by organization and statutes and toilsome compliance was the sole result of its activity. But at Cologne, Heidelberg, and Vienna there was a little ordinary from 25 Aug., to 9 Oct. The vacation, however, was not a complete suspension of academic work; the extraordinary lectures, given for the most part by bachelors, were continued, and credit was given to students who attended them. www.newadvent.org /cathen/15188a.htm   (1111 words)
