Episode 55. Now that Level 1 and Step 1 are scored pass/fail without a numerical score, other factors in students' residency applications are becoming much more important. Whether you want to match into a surgical subspecialty, primary care, or any other specialty, the following are going to be important to work on starting on day 1 in medical school: research experience, extracurricular involvement, and leadership. While going through medical school, you have to focus on your grades first and foremost, but you also have to consider exploring different specialty options and know which one is right for you early enough to build a strong resume for applications in the last year of medical school. This episode is a great overview of these challenges. This is a must-listen for students just starting medical school because these tips will inform what to think about as early as your first year.

We asked a number of our faculty about the ups and downs of chasing insight, or even work that matters

“Data cannot speak for itself.” In our first episode, we speak with Dr. Alex Bowers, Professor of Education Leadership at Teachers College, Columbia University, about the topics of data analysis, predictive analytics, and working with educators to leverage data for student and community growth. We discuss his four A's of early warning systems, which should be Accurate, Accessible, Actionable, and Accountable, as well our experiences with the skillful and collaborative data work that classroom teachers and school leaders are doing across the country. We also touch on the differences between standardized assessments, classroom grades, and other measures of learning and performance; the multiple purposes of schooling in the U.S. and why we have local control; and how tech developers and researchers can better work with educators to help students and communities.

When the New York Times in a student opinion piece asked “How do you think American education could be improved?”, Skye Williams from Sarasota, Florida wrote, ”I think that the American education system can be improved by allowing students to choose the classes that they wish to take or classes that are beneficial for their future. Students aren't really learning things that can help them in the future such as basic reading and math.” Skye's comment captures the fact that schooling experiences of American children is far from homogenous and the multitudes of factors that shape their beliefs, behaviors, performance, and identities vary dramatically based on the context, systems, and learning environments. On this episode, Senior Research Associate and Director of the Equitable Learning and Development Group at the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research, Camille Farrington, Ph.D., discusses how school structures and teacher practices can and do empower young learners to make sense of their daily schooling experiences and help transform them into well-prepared young adults. About Camille A FarringtonCamille A. Farrington is a Senior Research Associate and Director of the Equitable Learning & Development Group at the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research. Her work focuses on understanding learning environments as constructed, developmental spaces in the context of systemic racism and inequality. She seeks to understand how young people make sense of daily schooling experiences and how school structures and teacher practices shape students' beliefs, behaviors, identities, performance, and development.  As a principal investigator for the Equitable Learning & Development Project/Next System Learning Collaborative and the Building Equitable Learning Environments (BELE) Network, she collaborates with educators, scholars, students, and families to reimagine and transform public education to support human learning, development, and well-being.

Following a chaotic spring semester and extended school closures brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, many students will require additional academic support as instruction resumes this fall. A new policy brief, coauthored by the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research's Elaine Allensworth and the Annenberg Institute's Nate Schwartz, offers some research-backed strategies for schools attempting to address student learning loss in the months ahead. Allensworth discusses the brief, the potential scope of learning loss, and a number of interventions and supports proven to accelerate learning for struggling students.

Australia just had its worst ever day in the fight against COVID-19. Yesterday across the country, 502 new cases were confirmed, and in the past seven days there've been 2,414 new cases. So in the face of what is increasingly looking like a second wave, how's that vaccine coming along? Today on The Signal, we bring you good news, from two different places, on the race to find a vaccine. Could one be less than a year away? And if the virus mutates in the meantime, will a vaccine still work?

The coronavirus pandemic has taken a toll on our students. As we move into the summer, schools will need to understand the best way to address these issues.To understand what students have lost and how schools can help them recover, there’s no better person to talk to than Elaine Allensworth, the director of the University of Chicago Consortium on School Research. On this episode, she explains what the best research tells us about education during this crisis.

For over half a century, the SAT has been used by colleges and universities in admissions decisions. A lawsuit filed in December 2019 against the University of California system challenges this long held practice, calling the use of SAT scores in admission decisions illegal, discriminatory, and unconstitutional. On today’s show, we are joined by Elissa Nadworny, reporter and editor for NPR’s Education team who has been following the lawsuit. We are also joined by Dr. Elaine Allensworth from the UChicago Consortium on School Research, who recently wrote a paper showing a student’s grades are four times more predictive of college success than standardized exam scores. 

Episode 24 - Bidialectalism, school - research partnerships, and poverty with Nicole Patton Terry

Welcome to episode #11. We know you have all been working hard up until the end of the yeat so sit down and relax.

In Robert Day’s 1961 film The Rebel, Tony (played by Tony Hancock) leaves philistine Britain after his sculpture Aphrodite at the Waterhole crashes through his studio floor into his landlady’s living room. Tony throws up his tedious desk job and heads for Paris, stopping on the way to cast his bowler hat and umbrella into the English Channel. Tony’s entrée into the world of Bohemia takes place in a bar. Here he encounters a cadre of angry young men arguing about art and threatening Revolution while a benighted waiter looks on with bemusement. Thereafter, Day presents Tony as a charlatan, bordering on madness whose puerile efforts at art are understood only by an eccentric circle of black be-sweatered Beatniks. The film is funny because so many of the conventions it rehearses are still familiar today, almost fifty years after its release. In this lecture, Adams explores how art got into this position, the origins of the idea of the artist as alien outsider and art’s fractious relationship with its public. The exploration takes us back over 200 years to early nineteenth century France, to another pub, the one featured in Louis Picard's knockabout comedy Le Peintre Au Cabaret (loosely translated as the painter at the bar), and to a strikingly similar set of anxieties about what artists are up to, why we need them and their often baffling relationship with society. Steven Adams is Associate Head of School: Research in the School of Creative Arts. He teaches on post graduate programmes across the school and supervises post-graduate research at Masters and PhD levels including projects on landscape representation and cultural geography, Courbet, Positivism and Science in 19th century France, and Landscape, Representation and the picturesque in eighteenth century England.
