Teachers agree the Qualifications Authority unwittingly made trial NCEA tests too difficult last year. Documents show the Education Ministry warned the authority that the way the reading, writing and maths tests were designed made them harder for some students. The assessments become a compulsory part of NCEA next year and teachers are worried because just 34 percent of students passed the trial writing test. Here's our education correspondent, John Gerritsen.

The Ministry of Education is so concerned with fail rates in proposed literacy and numeracy exams, they've asked the Qualifications Authority to allow students to use spell check during testing. A pilot run in the middle of last year with mostly Year 10 students had pass rates of 34 percent in writing, 56 percent in maths, and 64 percent in reading. The Ministry and the NZQA are at loggerheads over the high failure rates, with the Authority refusing to budge on how it plans to test children. Education Minister Jan Tinetti spoke to Guyon Espiner.  

Get ready to wake up early, switch off Instagram, and stock up on extra coffee packets, because exam season is approaching. While writing this episode, memories of my student life came back to haunt me. I'm glad I don't have to write any exams this year. But you know what, the 'imtihaan' of life is never-ending. In this episode of Urdunama, I talk about the preparation tactics of great professors like Jaun Elia, Allama Iqbal, and Javed Akhtar. Tune in!

In episode two of our Supporting Medicolegal Death Investigators mini season, Just Science sat down with Lindsey McNaughton, founder of the National Association of Forensic Autopsy Technicians, to discuss the importance of forensic autopsy technicians, and her efforts to create more resources for this community. When someone dies unexpectedly or of unnatural causes, performing a full autopsy examination can be an extensive process that requires many steps and close attention to detail. To make sure autopsy examinations go as smoothly as possible, forensic pathologists are assisted by forensic autopsy technicians, who complete tasks ranging from photographing remains, prepping tools, and much more. Listen along as Lindsey describes the many unexpected roles of an autopsy technician, the training required for the position, and why she created the National Association of Forensic Autopsy Technicians.

During his GAC Speech, NCUA Chairman Todd Harper said:"... It doesn't seem fair that credit union members have less protection than bank customers...and it's why we are now creating consumer compliance specialist positions in the field and starting the process to build out an enhanced consumer compliance exam program..."more text from his speech follows:State of the Credit Union SystemIn terms of overall performance, federally insured credit unions remained on a solid footing last year. Total loans, assets, and insured shares all increased. Capital levels also remained strong. Economic activity — however — has begun to cool. Insured share growth has slowed, as some consumers have drawn down their built-up savings. Households are also taking on more debt. And, in the event of an economic slowdown, these factors could hinder borrowers' ability to repay outstanding debt, exposing your credit union to greater levels of credit risk. That's why we must all take actions to prepare for a downturn.Interest Rate RiskIn fact, your ability to manage interest rate risk will be a crucial factor in your performance in 2023. Interest rates rose across the yield curve last year. As rates increase in the current economic environment, so does the associated risk that makes short-term liquidity events possible. The potential for sudden changes in either inflation, the rate environment, or the economy mean that you must remain nimble.Consumer Financial ProtectionNow, I know that many of you have heard me say this before, but I'm going to keep saying it because it is part of my core beliefs: All consumers — regardless of their financial services provider of choice — should receive the same level of consumer financial protection. Yet, unlike the federal banking agencies, the NCUA does not conduct separate consumer compliance exams nor does the agency assign a separate consumer financial protection rating. It doesn't seem fair that credit union members have less protection than bank customers.During my four years on the NCUA Board, the agency has made some strides like increasing its fair lending exams and reviews. And, it's why we are now creating consumer compliance specialist positions in the field, and starting the process to build out an enhanced consumer compliance exam program. And, as part of its supervisory priorities this year, the NCUA continues to focus on overdraft programs and will dive more deeply into certain features.To that end, NCUA examiners will review website advertising related to overdraft programs, balance calculation methods, and settlement processes. And, examiners at federal credit unions with more than $500 million in assets will dig into authorize positive, settle negative transactions, as well as some other problematic fees. Our supervisory efforts here are aimed at creating a more equitable financial system that enables financial security for credit union members, especially those of modest means.*******************In 33 years at NCUA I served as Executive Director, Regional Director, Director of Special Actions, Supervisory Examiner, and Principal Examiner. I began at the ground level as an examiner. I rose to the top. As Executive Director I supervised your Regional Director. I know how NCUA thinks and why they think it. I know the examination process inside and out. I know how to communicate and negotiate with NCUA. I know how to get NCUA to YES instead of NO. I can help if you are currently dealing with or thinking about:An examination that did not go as well as you hopedAn Examination that is in process right nowAn examination that is coming soonResponding to an NCUA or state examinationAssessing a letter to you from your Regional Director or State RegulatorSeeking NCUA or State Regulator approval for an action you desire to takeAssessing actions you will take in response to a Document of ResolutionReceiving a Letter of Understanding and AgreementReach out to learn how I can assist

Dr. Erkeda DeRouen is joined by Dr. Raji Akileh, a D.O. and CEO of MedEd Cloud. Dr. Raji will take us through how MedEd Cloud operates and how it can help equip medical students with information before they take their board exams. He will also take on the topic of revolutionizing the medical healthcare system in the United States.   [00:21] Introduction of Dr. Raji Akileh [02:20] The Medical Education System [04:03] MedEd Cloud [08:03] Opportunities in MedEd for Board Studies [13:21] Participation for MedEd Cloud [14:50] Modules and Opportunities from Outside Medicine [16:13] What Would You Change in the Healthcare system [19:24] How to Connect with Dr. Raji   Keeping Up With Trends A lot of medical students out there would work hard to pass their boards, and a big proponent of these tests is the knowledge and updates they take from their respective schools. Many schools still take the more traditional approach and practices when it comes to medical education. This situation has widely stunted the learning growth of students in the United States, given that many other countries have already slowly started to advance with the help of technology and science. Many traditional-style school still fear change, and this mindset may be the hindering factor to why medical education in the U.S. may not be that advanced.    You can reach Dr. Akileh through his Linkedin profile.  To learn more about how MedSchoolCoach can help you along your medical school journey, visit us at Prospective Doctor.

Denise Crittendon's debut science fiction novel,Where it Rains in Color (Angry Robot, 2022), is set far in the future, long after the Earth has been destroyed, on the planet of Swazembi. Swazembi is a color-rich utopia and famous vacation center of the Milky Way. No one is used to serious trouble in this idyllic, peace-loving world, least of all the Rare Indigo. But Lileala's perfect, pampered lifestyle is about to be shattered. Published on the cusp of Crittendon's 70th birthday, the novel's creation was decades in the making. Ideas were jotted down and relegated to a drawer while her work as a journalist and ghostwriter took front seat. Inspiration was gathered from her time in Zimbabwe and a recurring dream she had over many years. “The dream influenced the novel a great deal,” says Crittendon. “The novel was kind of built around the dream. When I finally started writing it again, then the dreams came back. And then I stopped and the dreams went away. When I finally got a chance to do that final push, I never had a dream again.” That experience layers an almost metaphysical presence to a story that already includes a different kind of worldbuilding from what we normally see in science fiction. From Swazembi's galaxy-renowned wind-force public transit system and nuanced cultural greeting of “waves of joy” to the noted lack of violence throughout, the novel offers a fresh perspective on what sci fi can be. Before making the big leap into the world of sci-fi & fantasy, Denise Crittendon held a string of journalism jobs. In addition to being a staff writer for The Detroit News and The Kansas City Star, she was editor-in-chief of the NAACP's national magazine, The Crisis. Later, she became founding editor of a Michigan-based lifestyle publication for black families. After self-publishing two manuals that empower youth, “Girl in the Mirror, A Teen's Guide to Self-Awareness” and “Life is a Party That Comes with Exams,” she entered the new-age healing movement as a motivational speaker for teens. These days, she fulfills ghostwriting assignments for clients and writes speculative fiction on the side. She divides her time between Spring Valley, Nevada and her hometown, Detroit, Mich.

Before making the big leap into the world of sci-fi & fantasy, Denise Crittendon held a string of journalism jobs. In addition to being a staff writer for The Detroit News and The Kansas City Star, she was editor-in-chief of the NAACP's national magazine, The Crisis. Later, she became founding editor of a Michigan-based lifestyle publication for black families. After self-publishing two manuals that empower youth, “Girl in the Mirror, A Teen's Guide to Self-Awareness” and “Life is a Party That Comes with Exams,” she entered the new-age healing movement as a motivational speaker for teens. These days, she fulfills ghostwriting assignments for clients and writes speculative fiction on the side. She divides her time between Spring Valley, Nevada and her hometown, Detroit, Mich. Brenda Noiseux and Rob Wolf are co-hosts of New Books in Science Fiction. Learn more about your ad choices.

DOJ says it disrupted a major global ransomware group, AI chat bot ChatGPT (barely) passed graduate business and law exams, Hacker arrested for trying to sell personal information of nearly every Austrian citizen.

Episode 283 kicks off with the recent (good news) story that ransomware gangs earnings are down by quite a bit from last year – turns out that people are starting to treat backups properly and are refusing to pay – great news for 2023!  Following that, the team look at troubling news, this time from the crypto-currency world, with a story looking at the recent collapse of Genesis. Moving from crypto to the world of fake news, a recent study has shown that the reason people share fake news is perhaps more complex than previously thought. To wrap up, the team discuss concerning news around ChatGPT and exams, with a professor running the AI through an exam for Medical Licenses and Business Degrees and it turns out it can pass them both.  Should teachers and professors be worried? Time will tell it seems. If you liked what you heard, please do consider subscribing.

Addressing Racism in Clinical Licensing Exams: An Interview with Ben Caldwell and Tony Rousmaniere Curt and Katie interview Dr. Ben Caldwell and Dr. Tony Rousmaniere about the problems with the Clinical Licensing exams for therapists. We discuss the recent report from ASWB on their pass rates as well as the concerns about the EPPP2 implementation, the poor predictive validity and utility of these licensing exams, and suggestions for what to do with our licensing processes given these concerns. Transcripts for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode, we talk about recent data that licensing exams are racist Friends of the show, Dr. Ben Caldwell and Dr. Tony Rousmaniere wrote a white paper in response to a recent report from the ASWB that shows their licensing exams appear to be racist. We wanted to talk with them about their calls to discontinue these exams. How are the clinical exams racist? ·      The number one predictor of whether you pass the exam is your race ·      The structure of the exam seems to advantage those with more affinity to these types of tests (i.e., those who are educationally privileged) ·      There may also be content or language concerns leading to these disparities What is the purpose of the clinical exams for therapists? ·      Said that it is to be an assessment of knowledge and training, consumer protection, etc. ·      Little predictive validity (of competence or consumer safety) for these tests ·      The test is an unfair hurdle for folks without academic privilege ·      There does not seem to be a need for this test (due to the rigor of training and supervised experience) What would be better alternatives to requiring a clinical exam? ·      Alternate pathways that some states have taken ·      Addressing workforce shortages by allowing folks who have gotten through every other requirement (aside from the clinical exam) to be licensed ·      Just don't require a clinical exam What can therapists do to try to get rid of licensing exams? ·      Advocacy to state boards to not implement EPPP2 ·      Other advocacy related to master's level clinical exams ·      Organizations to #StopASWB and address the EPPP2 Resources for Modern Therapists mentioned in this Podcast Episode: We've pulled together resources mentioned in this episode and put together some handy-dandy links.
