The project was kicked off by a visit to China to observe the Shanghai model—dubbed “Teacher Peer Excellence Groups” (or “T-PEGs” for short).]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kbrobeck</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[Haslam brought in professor Ron Zimmer of Vanderbilt’s Peabody College, who has done extensive research on choice. As Zimmer pointed out, advocates for charter schools are hoping to see better test scores emerge through competition with traditional schools and flexibility given to the privately-run, publicly-funded charters. The data – over all – doesn’t show a big difference, he said. “If school choice is the silver bullet for test scores, it’s not meeting its goal,” Zimmer said.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kbrobeck</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[The next set of the study’s results won’t be ready until a year from now, according to Dale Farran, one of the Vanderbilt professors leading the project. And what was once a five-year study that began in 2009 is now set to span another five years to 2019 after Vanderbilt researchers in June landed an additional $4 million in funding from the National Institutes of Health. As a result, a study that was originally intended to track the progress of pre-K students through the third grade will now continue through their middle school years.]]></description>

The first phase of the five-year study, released last year, found that Tennessee children who make big gains in math, language and reading by attending preschool don’t stay ahead of their peers — perhaps not even through kindergarten. But it also found that preschool fosters certain behaviors among students that are more lasting.]]></description>

They argue that each person requires an educational programme tailored to his needs and talents to nurture his best traits. This train of thought is beginning to gain traction in Western countries as they race to stay ahead of developments around the world, and if it is executed well could prove to be the West’s next renaissance.]]></description>

She’s also the head of the study on Tennessee’s current pre-K program whose results Haslam is awaiting. She says that policymakers should look at what makes pre-K programs effective, and be careful not base decisions about whether to expand programs based on ineffective pre-kindergartens. Farran points out that many of the pre-K classes she and her team studied were not ideal, so making decisions about the potential efficacy of pre-K based on the program as currently implemented might be premature. For example, she has found that many  classes in the voluntary pre-K program spend more than an hour a day in whole-group instruction, which researchers at Vanderbilt and other institutions have found impedes young children’s learning.]]></description>

It would be an occasion for hilarity if anyone suggested that Harvard pick its graduate students, faculty, or president for their prowess in athletics or music, yet these people are certainly no shallower than our undergraduates. In any case, the stereotype is provably false. Camilla Benbow and David Lubinski have tracked a large sample of precocious teenagers identified solely by high performance on the SAT, and found that when they grew up, they not only excelled in academia, technology, medicine, and business, but won outsize recognition for their novels, plays, poems, paintings, sculptures, and productions in dance, music, and theater. A comparison to a Harvard freshman class would be like a match between the Harlem Globetrotters and the Washington Generals. ]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kbrobeck</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[A 2013 Vanderbilt University study of Tennessee’s state-run pre-K program found the same pattern: kids finished pre-K significantly ahead of their peers who didn’t attend in language, math skills and behavioral indicators, but by the end of kindergarten their cognitive advantages had dwindled away (although they were half as likely to repeat kindergarten). Long-term assessments of state pre-K programs in Georgia and Texas, Mr. Whitehurst notes, found effects on third- and fourth-grade test scores that were modest to nil. Mr. Whitehurst’s own work indicates a small association between a state’s pre-K attendance and an increase of a few points on fourth-grade reading and math scores. But he feels that universal programs waste money by funding pre-K for everyone instead of targeting resources on disadvantaged kids who need the most help—and may actually hurt middle-class and affluent kids by shifting them from enriched home care or high-end pre-K into mediocre state-run programs.]]></description>

    <dc:creator>kbrobeck</dc:creator><description><![CDATA[In June 2013, Camilla Benbow, dean of Peabody College at Vanderbilt University, expressed her concerns in a June 2013 Tennessean op-ed piece, in which she asserted, in part, that "when the Thiel Foundation and the media promote the idea that college isn't needed, they create an unfortunate narrative and do a disservice to many learners." Benbow's commentary as originally published is here. When approached by VNC in July 2013 with questions regarding her op-ed piece, Benbow provided direct answers, via e-mail. Benbow said, in part: "I'm not suggesting that smart people who opt out of formal education harm society by doing so, or that they are being anti-intellectual. But I do think that society benefits when smart people are broadly educated -- when they are able to situate their own interests and talents in wider intellectual contexts, and when they develop specific knowledge of prior work in their own disciplines."]]></description>

Flores, an associate professor of public policy and higher education at Vanderbilt University, and two colleagues, examines the college-completion gap between minority and white students in Texas. Using a "variance decomposition" analysis, the researchers find that more than half of the gap can be explained by "pre-college" characteristics of students and their high schools. The study concludes that it would be "unfair and perhaps even inefficient" for the Obama administration to judge colleges based on student outcomes without accounting for factors beyond the colleges’ control.]]></description>

The study acknowledges graduation rates are lower, on average, for black students at historically black colleges and universities and Latino students Hispanic-serving institutions than for the same groups at other colleges and universities. But when the scholars controlled for such factors as student educational background and institutional resources, they found that graduation rates were comparable. The scholars who did the research are Stella Flores, associate professor of public policy and higher education at Vanderbilt, and Toby Park, assistant professor of educational leadership and policy studies at Florida State.]]></description>
