Listen "Episode 217: Pause to Ponder - Can We Truly Quantify Knowledge?"
Episode Synopsis
In this reflective episode, Charles dives into a thought-provoking question: Can we truly quantify knowledge? He shares personal stories, insights, and recent experiences that highlight the complexity of using data to measure student growth and achievement. From percentile bands in student screeners to rising AP exam scores, Charles examines whether we’re celebrating real progress or merely adjusting standards to make it appear so. Along the way, he explores the potential influence of College Board, U.S. News & World Report, and the commercialization of education in shaping our perceptions of student success.
