Mission The mission of Lindsey Wilson College is to serve the educational needs of students by providing a living-learning environment within an atmosphere of active caring and Christian concern where every student, every day, learns and grows and feels like a real human being. Institutional Goals To strive for the highest degree of educational excellence by providing programs based upon the findings of research and sound professional practice. To create the best possible environment for the individual growth of students through the intentional and cooperative efforts of the entire College community. To prepare students for life and a career in a rapidly changing world. To develop intellect, character and self-esteem through value-centered learning experiences. A Brief History Lindsey Wilson College was founded in 1903 as Lindsey Wilson Training School by the Louisville Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The school was named in memory of Lindsey Wilson, the deceased nephew and stepson of Mrs. Catherine Wilson of Louisville, Kentucky. (Today, Lindsey Wilson continues its affiliation with the Kentucky Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church.) Mrs. Wilson contributed $6,000 toward the construction of one of the school's first buildings, which now serves as the L. R. McDonald Administration Building. Funding also came from the citizens of Columbia and Mrs. James Phillips of Lebanon, Kentucky, for whom Phillips Hall, the women's residence hall, is named. Mrs. Kizzie Russell of Columbia also made substantial gifts. In its early years, Lindsey Wilson educated grades one through 12. Concentration was on "normal work" to prepare students to be teachers; many continued their education at Vanderbilt University. In 1923, the school's curriculum was reorganized and a college department offering a junior college degree was added. In 1934, Lindsey Wilson closed its academy and the school became exclusively a 2 junior college. The College, however, maintained a Model Training School from 1933 through 1979. In 1951, the College was accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, and in 1985, the College's trustees voted to become a four-year liberal arts college. Lindsey Wilson graduated its baccalaureate class in May 1988. The College added a master's degree in Counseling and Human Development in April 1993. The program is accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational (CACREP), and it has been cited by CACREP as a model small-college graduate program. While historically the College's focus has been to serve the citizens of South Central Kentucky, Lindsey Wilson has a diverse campus of more than 2,000 students representing more than 90 of Kentucky's 120 counties, 26 states and 34 foreign countries. The College also has community campuses in the Kentucky cities of Ashland, Cumberland, Hazard, London, Maysville, Prestonsburg, Scottsville and Somerset, with other community campuses in Virginia, West Virginia and Ohio. The College's 2008-2009 enrollment included 1,674 undergraduate students and 329 graduate students. An aggressive development program initiated in 1978 has yielded a remarkable increase in gift income and more than doubled the number of donors to the College. This support has enabled the College to repair and refurbish buildings, improve campus grounds, strengthen academic programs, and dramatically expand the number of its full-time faculty. The College will complete the $53 million "Changing Lives Campaign" on June 30, 2010. The goals of the campaign are to: build a science center; transform the Goodhue Science Building into a multi-use classroom building; build a new learning center; build a health and wellness center; build a performing arts center; add a new residence hall; develop 20 acres of land along the Louie B. Nunn Parkway; add $15 million to the Lindsey Wilson Endowment; and raise $3.5 million for the Lindsey Wilson Fund. The "Changing Lives Campaign" was initiated in April 2004 by a $8.6 million commitment by James R. and Helen Lee Fugitte of Elizabethtown, Ky., the largest commitment in the college's history. Graduate programs offered include a Master of Arts program in Christian Leadership; a Master of Education degree in Counseling and Human Development with a specialization offered in Mental Health Counseling, and a Master of Education for Rank II Change. Bachelor of Arts programs are available in the following areas: American Studies, Applied Learning, Art, Art Education P-12, Biology, Business Administration, Christian Ministries, Communication, Criminal Justice, Elementary Education P-5, English, Fine Arts Administration, History, Human Services and Counseling, Mathematics, Middle Grades Education 5-9, Physical Education P-12, Physical Education and Health P-12, Psychology, Recreation, Tourism and Sport Management, Secondary Education 8-12, and Social Science. A "Contract," or individualized, major is also available but must be approved by the Academic Affairs Council. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing will be offered with pre-nursing courses beginning fall 2009 and professional nursing courses offered in fall 2010. Minor areas of concentration are offered in: Accounting, Art, Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Christian Ministries, Coaching, Communication, Criminal Justice, Event Management, History, Humanities, Journalism, Literature, Mathematics, Music, Physical Education, Political Science, Psychology, Women's Studies, and Writing. Associate in Arts programs are available in: Art, Biology, Business Management, Chemistry, Computer Information Systems, Criminal Justice, Early Childhood Care and Development, 3 Engineering Mechanics, Health Science, History, Mathematics, Religion and Social Science. Work toward the Baccalaureate and Associate of Arts degrees may be pursued in the day, evening and summers. Graduate students attend evening and weekend classes, which are scheduled year-round. Online courses are also available. Columbia Facilities: A.P. White Campus Lindsey Wilson's A.P. White Campus is located on more than 200 partially wooded acres on a hilltop in Columbia, which is in the Kentucky Heartland - a region synonymous with outdoor recreation, camping, boating and hiking. Lindsey Wilson is near several major Kentucky tourist attractions: Lake Cumberland, one of the largest man-made lakes in the world; Mammoth Cave, one of the Seven Wonders of the World; Green River Lake and Reservoir; and Cumberland Falls, Kentucky's highest

  • Holding Students to Account by Paul E. Peterson
    CHAPTER 7 Holding Students to Account Paul E. Peterson The American high school is troubled. Not only do US high school students’ performances trail those of students in most other indus- trialized nations, but there are few signs of improvement within the United States. While pupils in fourth grade have made striking gains over the past couple of decades, the gains attenuate by eighth grade and disappear altogether in high school. Even the most tal- ented high school students don’t always do well. Only 7 percent of US students score at or above the advanced level in mathematics, as compared to twice that percentage on the part of Canadians, Germans, Finns, Dutch, Belgians, and Japanese. Students in high- flying places such as Korea, Switzerland, and Singapore do even better.1 Many students graduate from high school without the req- uisite skills needed to perform successfully in a modern, industrial- ized society. Approximately 1.7 million college students must take remedial courses, a clear indication that high school graduates have not acquired a minimum set of cognitive skills. The causes are multiple, and no one fix will address them all.

  • Understanding the Policy Context of High School Exit Exams: a Review of the Literature from 2006 to 2018
    UNDERSTANDING THE POLICY CONTEXT OF HIGH SCHOOL EXIT EXAMS: A REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE FROM 2006 TO 2018 Hannah Poquette Aaron Butler Working Paper November, 2018 KENTUCKY DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 300 Sower Boulevard, Fifth Floor Frankfort, KY 40601 Executive Summary The Kentucky Board of Education is currently considering changes to Kentucky’s high school graduation requirement policy to address concerns that Kentucky students are not graduating with the skills necessary to ensure their success after high school. A key component of this policy change would require students to pass a high school exit exam before receiving a diploma. The most recent data on high exit exam policies show that approximately one out of four states require students to pass an exit exam (Center on Education Policy, 2012). These exit exam policies have varied widely in their implementation and characteristics. Empirical evidence from studies examining exit exams demonstrates that choices made when crafting the policy and establishing the exam may greatly affect the success of the policy and should be carefully considered. This literature review synthesizes evidence addressing characteristics of the Kentucky exit exam policy. These characteristics include (a) student outcomes of underperforming and underserved populations, (b) level of exit exam difficulty, (c) inclusion of multiple subject areas in exit exams, and (d) inclusion of alternative pathways to graduation. Exit Exams and Outcomes for Underperforming and Underserved Students Research evidence suggests that students at the lower end of the achievement distribution, racial/ethnic minority students, or low income students may not see distinct improvements in their outcomes due to the implementation of an exit exam.

  • Mathematical Competencies in High School Exit
    Mathematical Competencies in High School Exit Examinations and in TIMSS/III Kahnert, Eickelmann, Bos & Endberg – Validation of High Stakes-Testing Through an International Large Scale Assessment Instrument MATHEMATICAL COMPETENCIES IN HIGH SCHOOL EXIT EXAMINATIONS AND IN TIMSS/III – VALIDATION OF HIGH STAKES- TESTING THROUGH AN INTERNATIONAL LARGE SCALE ASSESSMENT INSTRUMENT Julia Kahnert, Birgit Eickelmann, Wilfried Bos & Manuela Endberg Institute for School Development Research, TU Dortmund University, Germany Abstract In Germany students gain access to universities by passing the high school exit examination (Abitur). By using probabilistic scaling methods, this study examines whether central high school exit examinations as a form of high- stakes testing allow for valid information in measuring competencies. For this approach a cohort of students simultaneously took their high school exit examinations in mathematics and the TIMSS/III-test (Mullis et al., 1998). Both instruments entail information about students’ mathematical competencies. The presented study establishes in how far both results are comparable and which consequences for high-stakes testing as well as for TIMSS/III can be deduced. Introduction, Background, and Objectives of Study The presented research project is conducted as a sub-project for the project “Quality management of central examinations” organized by the Institute of School Development Research at Dortmund University. The project is funded by the school ministry in North Rhine-Westphalia. Data was collected in the survey period during February and March 2011. This paper deals with the topic of high school exit examinations as a certain form of high-stakes testing in Germany. Exemplarily for the subject mathematics, students’ performance data was collected and analysed.

High School Exit Examinations and State-Level Completion and GED Rates, 1973-2000 ABSTRACT We investigate the extent to which high school exit examinations are associated with state-level high school completion rates in the United States. To do so, we estimate a series of state and year fixed effects models using a new measure of state-level high school completion rates and archival information about states’ high school exit examinations between 1973 and 2000. We find that high school exit examinations --- particularly more difficult examinations that have recently been implemented in some states --- are associated with lower high school completion rates and higher rates of General Educational Development (GED) test taking.

  • PB-Exit Exams.Id
    M AY 2003 making sure graduation tests exit exams g e t a PA S S I N G G R A D E The trend is clear: By 2008, half the states are likely to have adopted high school exit exams.1 These exams, which students must pass to graduate, are part of state accountability systems, above and beyond the requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. The main intent is to boost the value and credibility of a high school diploma and, in the process, motivate students to work harder. In some states, the exit exam is designed to guarantee that those who pass are prepared for college entrance; in others, it is intended to guarantee that graduates have mastered agreed-upon basic skills. Often, however, exit exams are implemented without have the most to gain from efforts to hold schools ac- adequate commitment to ensuring student success or countable. Graduation and other high-stakes tests can sufficient attention to the costs of student failure. In such focus attention on how a system is failing to serve all cases, one unplanned outcome may be high failure rates, students.3 However, critics say that a high-stakes exit exam especially for poor and minority students. Another risk places the onus, wrongly, on students, whose schools may is increased dropout rates, fueled by the frustration of not have offered them sufficient opportunities to learn what is needed to pass the exam. The worry is that poor students who have failed or who simply expect to fail.

Information was obtained from reviews of educational systems and interviews with small samples of students (at least seven or eight students), parents, and teachers during 1993. All four countries studied, Japan, Germany, France, and the United Kingdom, are experiencing a common problem in that their universities, built to educate a moderate percentage of the population, are being asked to accommodate increasing numbers of students. They are left with the alternatives of restricting enrollments to make the universities more elitist or expanding enrollments and watering down the value of the university degree. In all of these countries, entrance and exit examinations are based on a curriculum established by ministries of education. These examinations are closely tied to what students have studied in school.

    McGRAW-HILL EDUCATION The McGraw-Hill Companies Trends in Pre-K–16 Education Creating a Skilled Workforce to Compete in the Global Knowledge Economy Government and business communities throughout the United States recognize that they must do a better job of building and maintaining a skilled workforce to compete successfully in the global knowledge economy.The level of innovation needed to retain our society’s competitiveness is directly linked to the mathematical, scientific, and technological skills attained by today’s students. Even with reauthorization of the No Child Left Behind Act pending in Congress, it is clear that NCLB has helped revitalize the states’ role in education. States are holding schools more accountable for improving academic achievement and raising measurement standards. With the value of education growing nationwide, McGraw-Hill Education will continue to provide a diverse range of print and digital solutions to help teachers improve and measure student performance. At the time of publication of the 2008-2009 Investor Fact Book it is too early in the legislative session to predict whether NCLB will be reauthorized before the end of 2008. Many observers predict that no major action will be taken until after the 2008 presidential election. However, significant programs mandated by No Child Left Behind have been funded for FY 2008 at levels slightly higher than those provided in the prior fiscal-year budget. High School Exit Examinations – States Taking Action to Better Prepare Students A growing number of states are adopting exit exams to better assess the quality of their educational programs to ensure that graduates have the skills necessary to enter the workforce and college.
