What kind of education should African Americans attain?

History

Answer:

   Over the past few decades, African American students across the nation have made real gains in academic achievement. Yet, too many African American students still are not getting the quality education they need  and deserve, and the performance of African American students lags  far behind that of white students. These gaps in achievement are driven by gaps in opportunity — African American students receive  fewer of the within-school resources and experiences that are known to contribute to academic achievement.

    In this brief, we’ve gathered the best available national data on  African American student achievement and attainment in both K-12 and higher education, as well as on the unequal opportunities  that contribute to these outcomes. We hope that these data will be  used to spark conversation — and more important, action — about how to accelerate improvement and raise achievement for African American students across the nation.

Explanation:

   African American students make up a substantial proportion of enrollment nationwide. About 15 percent of all public school students — or about 7.9 million students — are African American. And in some states,  African American students make up a far larger portion of public school enrollment: Half of students in Mississippi and 45 percent in  Louisiana are African American. About a third of students in  Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Maryland, and South Carolina are  African American.  Opportunity and achievement for African American students  matter for all types of communities and schools. While many African  American students, 46 percent, attend urban schools, more  than half, 54 percent, now attend schools in suburbs, towns,  or rural areas. And while about half of African American  students attend schools where the majority of students are  African American, 26 percent attend schools where most  students are white.

In both fourth-grade reading and eighth-grade math, performance among African American students has  risen dramatically in recent years, and gaps  between African American and white students have  narrowed. It’s important, of course, to look at student  performance across subjects and grades, but these two  measures are especially critical. Research shows that  without solid reading skills honed in elementary school  and a firm grasp of math by the end of middle school,  it is difficult for students to do well going forward.

Between 2003 and 2013, scale scores on the National  Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) rose faster  for African American students than for white students in  both fourth-grade reading and eighth-grade math.

And these gains reflect real improvement in skills and  knowledge. Over the past two decades, the percentage of  African American eighth-graders who lacked even basic  math skills on NAEP has fallen from 81 percent to  less than half. Students at that level struggle with  things like applying arithmetic operations (addition,  subtraction, multiplication, and division) and with using  diagrams, charts, and graphs to help solve problems.  In fourth-grade reading, the percentage of African American  students without even basic skills — those who have trouble locating information in a passage, identifying the main idea of a text, or interpreting what a word means —  has fallen from 69 percent to 50 percent.

During the same time period, the percentage of African  American students performing at a proficient or  advanced level more than doubled in fourth-grade  reading and has increased sevenfold in eighth grade math. Far too few African American students are  performing at these levels — but the changes represent  marked improvement over past performance.

These improvements are encouraging. However, too few  African American students demonstrate the knowledge  and skills they need to be successful in school and in life.  And despite gap-narrowing, African American students  still lag far behind their white peers on NAEP.

In both fourth-grade reading and eighth grade math, African American students  are about two and a half times as  likely as white students to lack basic skills  and only about one-third as likely to be  proficient or advanced.

African American students are increasingly taking the steps  necessary for success after high school. Over the past  five years, the number of African American high school  graduates taking the ACT rose by 22 percent, and the  number taking the SAT rose by 12 percent. What’s  more, the number of African American graduates taking at  least one AP exam more than tripled between 2002  and 2012, outpacing the growth in the number of African  American graduates.

But despite these gains, there’s still a long way to go.  African American students remain underrepresented  among AP test-takers: 15 percent of graduates in  the class of 2013 were African American, but African  American students made up only 9 percent of those  who took AP tests. And even fewer — 5 percent —  of those who passed an AP exam were African American.

A student measures the voltage and current between two points in an
Gennadij [26K]

The resistance of the circuit  according to Ohm's law is; A: 147 Ω

<h3>How to use Ohm's Law?</h3>

Ohm's law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided all physical conditions and temperatures remain constant. Thus;

V = IR

Where;

V is voltage

I is current

R is resistance

Thus;

110 =0.75R

R = 110/0.75

R ≈ 147Ω

What religious, social, and political developments that accompanied urbanization from 3500 to 2000 BCE .
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The greatest technological development of this time was irrigation. Originally the Mesopotamia’s’ believed their sole purpose was to serve the gods and provide them with luxuries such as fine clothes and lodging. Their communities consisted of 35 politically equal cites with religious sanctuaries. All cities were known as spiritual and economic. Social hierarchies began to grow, separating the privileged, and the less privileged. The Sumerians and the Akkadians believed in a group of gods that controlled everything including their political institutions. Each major god of the Sumerian pantheon lives in a luxury temple in the part of the city that he/she created, thus bettering each cities character and relationships with its neighbors. Royal palaces also revealed the power of

the elite, being the official home of the ruler and his family. Social hierarches were very important in Sumerian city-states. Ruling groups had access to economic and political resources. The kings/ priests were at the top of the list, then bureaucrats, followed by supervisors and craft workers, and traders. Movement among classes was very rare. Mesopotamia was the first to develop a complex writing system. They were the first record keepers and readers. This gave rise to written narratives. Due to rising populations,there was a lot of competition among these societies that often led to violence. The Chinese culture took a little longer to urbanize, although they eventually got there, they had some troubles in the beginning. Their animals for instance weren’t very domesticated, and deserts made it harder to migrate
