Download or read book A Conference for an Advanced Standing Program in Composition written by Richard Braddock and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Progress made toward establishing an advanced program in english is discussed. The immediate objective of this program is to offer the best college-bound twelfth-grade students instruction and practice in composition. This instruction should increase the probability that cooperating colleges will excuse them from the usual freshman composition requirement and still grant them full college credit. A unique characteristic of the advanced standing program, which distinguishes it from the advanced placement program of the college entrance examination board, is that it has no one standard examination but leaves to each college the evaluation of the entering freshman's qualifications in the light of the individual college program. The advanced standing program offers several benefits to the students involved. The more intensive instruction should accelerate their development in thinking, writing, reading, and speaking, thereby aiding the students in adjusting to college studies. Some students, to their financial or personal advantage, may be assisted in reducing the number of terms spent in college. The teachers of this program should also benefit as a result of a summer seminar required before their first year of this special instruction. Indirectly, the teachers involved in this program may bring about improvement in the classes of their fellow english teachers and, perhaps, in the classes of colleagues in other disciplines.

Download or read book Early Holistic Scoring of Writing written by Richard Haswell and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the most fair and efficient way to assess the writing performance of students? Although the question gained importance during the US educational accountability movement of the 1980s and 1990s, the issue had preoccupied international language experts and evaluators long before. One answer to the question, the assessment method known as holistic scoring, is central to understanding writing in academic settings. Early Holistic Scoring of Writing addresses the history of holistic essay assessment in the United Kingdom and the United States from the mid-1930s to the mid-1980s—and newly conceptualizes holistic scoring by philosophically and reflectively reinterpreting the genre’s origin, development, and significance. The book chronicles holistic scoring from its initial origin in the United Kingdom to the beginning of its heyday in the United States. Chapters cover little-known history, from the holistic scoring of school certificate examination essays written by Blitz evacuee children in Devon during WWII to teacher adaptations of holistic scoring in California schools during the 1970s. Chapters detail the complications, challenges, and successes of holistic scoring from British high-stakes admissions examinations to foundational pedagogical research by Bay Area Writing Project scholars. The book concludes with lessons learned, providing a guide for continued efforts to assess student writing through evidence models. Exploring the possibility of actionable history, Early Holistic Scoring of Writing reconceptualizes writing assessment. Here is a new history that retells the origins of our present body of knowledge in writing studies.
