Students discuss grading systems

May 2, 2018

On Friday, April 13 the STEP (Shifting the Educational Paradigm) club hosted a conference at Cary Academy called "STEP Forward: Evaluating Student Success." The main focus of the conference was on the grading system's influence on students. 

To address these issues on a deeper level and foster collaboration among schools, STEP decided to host a conference consisting of various workshops led by teachers, parents, and students from various schools in The Triangle.  Additionally, the conference included a panel where the students and teachers were able to ask each other questions to learn about each other's perspective on issues related to student assessment. 

The conference, supported by a grant from the Cary Academy PTAA, welcomed over 40 participants.  The conference proved very successful in prompting deep insights into the problems surrounding evaluation and developing a framework with which to develop solutions.  Attendees said they thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Cary Academy extends a warm “bienvenue” to a visiting exchange group from the Lycée Sainte Ursule, our sister school in Tours, France.  Head of School Mike Ehrhardt and Upper School Head Heather Clarkson welcomed the 31 students and their teachers, Isabelle Théry and Christine Becker, during a brief reception on Friday morning in the Administration Building lobby. This year’s exchange, coordinated by Kim Jones and Sam Goeuriot, is the 17th between our two schools. During their time at Cary Academy, the French students will visit regular classes with their CA partners, as well as participate in a series of special classes offered by volunteers from the CA faculty. The program also includes visits to downtown Raleigh and UNC-Chapel Hill, a tour of the Civil Rights Museum in Greensboro, a a day at the beach and a picnic at Jordan Lake. Our friends from Sainte Ursule will be with us until May 8th, and Cary Academy students will return the visit to Tours in late May/early June as part of our annual world language exchange program.
