to advance/promote/push students Explanation: Social promotion is the practice of promoting students to the next grade level even when they have not learned the material they were taught or achieved expected learning standards. Social promotion is often contrasted with retention, the practice of holding students back and making them repeat a grade when they fail to meet academic expectations, or strategies such as proficiency-based learning, which may require students to demonstrate they have achieved academic expectations before they are promoted to the next grade level. - https://www.edglossary.org/social-promotion/ --- Students who are promoted without regard to their achievement fall even further behind their classmates, and those who do not drop out usually finish school without acquiring the knowledge and skills expected of a high school graduate. The costs of social promotion extend far beyond individual students, since these young people will leave school unprepared for rewarding employment or higher education, and will be seriously hampered in their efforts to make a productive contribution to society. - https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED430319.pdf --- “Our system has challenges beyond funding that also must be addressed. Reasonable accountability, reduced testing, fair reports cards, and recognizing that classroom success isn’t only about advancing students to the next grade level, but also about growing children into productive members of society while promoting local governance with balanced state oversight as well.” - https://www.cantonrep.com/news/20190905/new-analysis-ohios-n... --- An inability to read proficiently, coupled with a broken school system that may be more interested in pushing students to the next grade level than in ensuring learning, tends to trigger a chain reaction, experts say. Frustration in the classroom leads to truancy or disruptive behavior and ultimately quitting school altogether, one of the conduits in the schools-to-prison pipeline. - http://www.takepart.com/article/2016/03/02/dr-seuss-key-boos... --- Now, we’re wondering if they’ll be able to pull off any online learning—especially if we don’t get going for eight weeks, as the CDC recommends—or if they’ll simply let it ride and advance the students to the next grade for the fall. Or not let them move on. But, this is a world of ever-changing facts, so I’m sure we’ll have an answer—though probably not the answer—before we know it. - https://story366blog.wordpress.com/2020/03/17/march-16-2020-... |
