Description

Barry Leonard (ed). Results of a survey by the Amer. Fed. of Teachers of 85 of the 820 largest school districts concerning their promotion policies. These districts, taken together account for 1/3 of all enrollments. The policies were reviewed to determine: what standards are required for promotion; what evidence is used in decisions to retain students; what restrictions are placed on retention decisions; who is involved in the decision; who has the final decision-making authority; what interventions exist to prevent failure; what educational alternatives are available to failing students; & the requirements for reporting grade retention rates to the public.
