At their meeting on May 12, members of the State Board of Education are expected to finally adopt what other states have adopted and what’s been under study for years in California: a way to include individual students’ progress on state standardized tests as part of the state’s school accountability system.
State board members agree with the criticism of advocates of student equity and school accountability hawks that a “student growth model” should replace what the state now uses to measure student achievement on the California School Dashboard. That current method compares the test results of the latest 4th graders with the previous year’s 4th grades to calculate change as an element on the dashboard.

In the Information Age, Data Becomes a New Factor of Productivity
Singapore, Singapore (Newsfile Corp. - April 29, 2021) - In economics, factors of production, also known as production inputs, are essential resources for the production of goods and services. In his epochal work Principles of Economics , famous British economist Marshall put forward the theory of four factors of production land, labor, capital and entrepreneurial talent. National income (NI) is the reward of four factors, and that is, national income (NI) = labor wage (w) + land rent (r) + capital interest (i) + operating profit (π). This four-in-one formula sums up the core of western economic production theory and distribution theory, which has been widely accepted for more than a century.

BOSTON (AP) Figures released by the Boston Police Department indicate that Black people were far more likely than white people to be the subject of street investigations by Boston police in 2020.
Black people were the subject of 62% of last year’s field interrogation and observations in the city, where they comprise less than a quarter of the population, The Boston Globe reported.
White people, who are 45% of the city s population, were the subject 30% of the time.
Boston Police issued a statement warning “against the use of simple benchmark comparisons of the racial distribution of Boston residents relative to the racial distribution of FIO subjects for purposes of determining racial disparities in BPD FIO practices.”
