Dinowitz asks whether DOE will require research as a key assessed component

I mean, thank you for that.

You mentioned one example of students entering CUNY, entering college, not prepared with many of the skills.

Are you assessing what skills need to be...

Assessed or taught more rigorously.

You mentioned research, for example.

Obviously, the Regis doesn't test it.

And so a teacher's or school's disincentivized from investing in that sort of education.

Is it the DOE's plan then to ensure that in any of their portfolios, there's a significant amount of research done?

Because like I said, if you're assessing it, it's going to get that investment of time and money.

Sure.

I think Superintendent Pratt shared in the models that he described the amount of research that students were expected to engage in as part of the projects that they were engaged in with the partners.

So absolutely.

Yeah, but I just want to make sure it is the DOE's central director.

For a goal, not the will of a very good superintendent, which I said on the record, sir.

I know your first answer.

All of our superintendents are good.

But after that.

Amazing.

Say that question one more time for me.

I mean, the fact that certain skills exist as being assessed in these portfolio-based assessments is different than the DEWE making a decision

that research has to be an integral component in a certain number of the projects.

So my question is, you mentioned research as, I'm using it as an example of one of the elements colleges say many high schoolers are ill-prepared for in college.

Is it then the DOE's intention when they are reviewing rubrics to ensure that research is a key component, that that is actually being assessed and measured?

Yes.

Okay.
