SAT Adversity Score

SAT Adversity Score The SAT Adversity Score is supposed to give context to an applicants SAT score by rating his or her neighborhood and high school. The College Board, which administers the SAT, recently introduced its Environmental Context Dashboard (ECD), but it quickly became known as the Adversity Score. The College Board claims this score allows colleges to incorporate a students school and environmental context into their admissions process in a data-driven, consistent way. The Adversity Score does not alter SAT scores or take into account a students personal characteristics beyond their test scores. Instead, it aggregates publicly available information about schools and neighborhoods. It has three components: Students'SAT scores can be seen within the context of the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile of SAT scores from their high school. Information on the high school, including senior class size; percentage of students who meet federal eligibility criteria for free and reduced-price lunch; rurality/urbanicity; average first-year SAT score of colleges students from that high school attend; and the percentage of seniors taking an Advanced Placement exam and other information about AP scores and exams. Contextual data on the neighborhood and high school environment, which is calculated using data drawn from a combination of publicly available sources (e.g. U.S. Census Bureau and National Center for Education Statistics). The goal is to allow them to view a students academic accomplishments in the context of where they live and learn. Whether college admissions officers decide to consider the Adversity Score is up to them. The College Board claims the information is not intended to replace or contradict existing information about schools and neighborhoods. It will refresh its Adversity Scores underlying data each year. The tool was piloted for use by admissions officers at 50 colleges and universities in 2018-2019. This fall, the College Board will expand the pilot to more than 150 colleges in a research partnership and continue to shape the tool. It will become broadly available in 2020. Anecdotal feedback from the initial pilot is that the Adversity Score helped colleges recognize hardworking students who care about school but might come from an environment that made it difficult to fully thrive. Some admissions officers reported that the Adversity Score helped them contextualize college entrance exam scores within a high school to give a better idea of what success looks like in a certain area. More information about the Environmental Context Dashboard aka Adversity Score is available on the College Board website.

American International School Chennai

American International School Chennai American International School Chennai The American International School Chennai (AISC) was established in 1995 through a bilateral agreement between the Governments of the United States of America and India. Our charge since our founding has been to strive to provide excellent instruction, programs, and facilities for children of American and international parents on expatriate assignments in Chennai. Our founding ideals are based on developing within our students a deep and meaningful awareness and understanding of culture and the diversity of cultures around the world; to embrace India, Tamil Nadu, and Chennai so that our students appreciate, know, and interact with the historical, social, and cultural context within which we all live here in historical Madras; and to serve as a demonstration center of U.S. educational methods and practices. AISC is an international learning community with English as the language of instruction. Consistent with our commitment to diversity, we offer strong English Language Learner (ELL) programs to students in grades 1-12. We offer a rigorous curriculum based on North American academic standards and instructional practices in EY3-12 and the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate Programs to students in grades 11-12. We are committed to preparing students for their future -- their next grade, their next school, for college or university, and for the challenges of the 21st century. Students in Grades 3-12 benefit from a Bring-Your-Own-Technology (BYOT) program; this technology could be an iPad or laptop depending on the age of the student. The school provides a safe and spacious learning environment where students are empowered to nurture their love of learning and thrive on challenges. At AISC, we cultivate the values of mutual respect, personal responsibility, equality, and compassion. We seek to emphasize the development of students creativity, critical thinking, and collaborative skills. We embrace the notion that each student learns differently and we strive to engage the wide range of learning styles that pass through our gates and fill our classrooms every day. At AISC, we promote a healthy well-balanced lifestyle with a diversified academic program and a wide range of co-curricular opportunities through our athletics and After School Activities Programs. Likewise, we believe that students learn by doing and that community engagements offer opportunities to make unique learning connections and to support local civic endeavors.

Raw Cookie Dough -- Ruined Forever

Raw Cookie Dough -- Ruined Forever pexels.com This is great news for the health-conscious, carrot lovers. But for everyone else, this is a giant letdown. I mean think about it, how much of your childhood consisted of stealing raw batter from mixing bowls? Or popping out a Nestle Tollhouse cookie dough square and eating it until you felt sick from sugar overload? There’s even the eggless cookie dough to prevent health concerns surrounding raw eggs. But no that’s not even good enough anymore. So now what’s the problem? Flour. According to the FDA, a recent outbreak of E.coli is linked to contaminated flour. While it’s easy to brush this off as another panic over some disease you’re never going to get, it’s important to note that this is a fairly widespread problem. In total, 38 people in 20 states have been infected by Shiga toxin-producing E.coli 0121, a strain that can be found in flour. These infections began in December 2015 and have led to the hospitalization of 10 people. So yes, the odds of getting this illness are fairly low, but it’s definitely not worth the risk. The reported symptoms of this outbreak include stomach cramps, diarrhea which is described as bloody, as well as vomiting, much like the stomach flu. However, while most of those infected get better after a week, some aren’t so lucky. Of those infected, some experienced kidney failure, known as hemolytic uremic syndrome. Children under five years old, older adults and those with weakened immune systems are the most susceptible to this severity of the illness. The FDA and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) ran investigations that led to the source of the outbreak at the General Mills facility in Kansas City, MO. The flour in question was produced in November 2015, and General Mills has since voluntarily recalled 10 million pounds of flour that were produced between November 14 and December 4 of last year. The three brand names effected by these recalls are Gold Medal, Signature Kitchens and Gold Medal Wondra. For those that have any of this flour that’s been recalled, throw it away. The major concern with this particular outbreak is that flour isn’t typically something you consider may be contaminated. According to Jenny Scott, the senior adviser in the FDA’s Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition, “flour is not the type of thing that we commonly associate with pathogens.” The assumption is that the flour has been contaminated in the field, as it’s most exposed in this stage. According to Adam Karcz, “E.coli is a gut bug that can spread from a cow doing its business in the field, or it could live in the soil for a period of time; and if you think about it, flour comes from the ground, so it could be a risk.” While this isn’t risky when the flour is cooked (how it’s typically consumed), this is a major issue when it comes to batter and cookie dough. According to Scott, “For the most part, the risk from flour is pretty low, and most use of flour involves a ‘kill step’ people bake with it.” However, it’s still important that when dealing with raw flour, we’re now being extra careful. Constantly wash your hands, don’t touch your face, etc. pixabay.com According to Scott, “Kids are going to handle it and touch their faces, and they’re going to lick their fingers; it’s hard to supervise that.” Karcz suggests storing flour in dry, cool places in order to avoid contamination. Also, it’s important to clean up all kitchen surfaces that came into contact with flour as well as to thoroughly wash any dishes or utensils that were used with flour. This will be your best bet in preventing the spread of bacteria. Also, if any symptoms do develop, report the illness immediately. It’s important for this to be documented to the FDA/CDC, so they can track the outbreak and send out appropriate warnings to others in the area. According to Scott, “We want to encourage consumers to report their illnesses, even though it’s an imperfect system. We’d like to have the tests done and get everything reported and identify these outbreaks so we can follow up, discover root causes and make changes in the system so that people don’t get sick in the future.”

Making the Most Out of an Online Internship

Making the Most Out of an Online Internship via Pexels.com Embrace the flexible hours One of the biggest advantages of pursuing an online internship is the opportunity to have more flexible hours. You will not have to factor in commute time traffic with or without carpool, or planning around the bus schedules when the majority of the internship can be completed within the comfort of your own living space. Not having to commute will allow you to work around your online internships deadlines while taking advantage of when you are most productive, or when you have the most free time. If you are a morning person, you can get all of your internship work done by the time you have to leave for an afternoon class or closing shift for your part-time job. On the other hand, if you are a night person, you can spend late hours into the night completing tasks for your online internship, which is something you cant do with a typical internship as most workplaces would be closed off-hours. Being able to work flexible hours in an online internship will also allow you to fit internship work around your established schedule that you cant get out of academic classes, extracurricular organizations and clubs, or shifts at your part-time job(s). An online internship, for the most part, will allow you more control of your own work hours  (outside of schedule Skype calls, phone meetings, etc.). Make an effort to communicate with your boss and coworkers When most online internships do not require you to visit an office for the majority of your time working there, or at all, one of the bigger questions you may have is how you are supposed to establish a network with your colleagues if you do not see them on a regular basis. The power of the internet isnt just in the flexibility of your online internship, but also in the way that it allows you to engage with colleagues you will not be able to see on a regular basis. Make sure you are taking advantage of networking sites like LinkedIn, where you can connect with your company colleagues and establish a network to touch back on. Online communication is key, so respond to emails or phone calls promptly. These can come in the form of quick check-ins with your boss to show progress or ask questions, or going to colleagues for help or to get to know each other. The amount of communication with your colleagues will depend on the type of online internship you end up pursuing some will have you doing weekly Skype calls with your work colleagues, while others will have you working by yourself for most of the time, if not all the time. Do not let the idea of missing out on a networking opportunity make you skip out on an online internship because it is something you can eventually work toward. Take initiative and ask for feedback when you can You may think that taking part in an online internship will take away the opportunity to get hands-on job experience, but that isnt always the case with an online internship. You are still assigned tasks and will have expectations placed on you, and you will have guidelines and protocol just like you would at any other job or internship.   You wont have constant eyes on you from your supervisor or colleagues, so it may be easy to go off-task or avoid your responsibilities until the last minute, but that is something you definitely do not want to do in an online internship. Be prepared to take initiatives and be on the lookout for new opportunities, whether it be taking on an extra assignment or two each week, or accepting a new responsibility when you get the opportunity to. When you do not have a supervisor to constantly report to, you may also want to check in with them without being asked to. Ask for feedback on your recent performance, or ask for different resources you can use to improve on your next task. An online internship is definitely not your typical type of internship, but you can take steps to make it a just as valuable experience.
