Race Equality Teaching

Race to the top and the senses of good teaching

Following up on the education reform initiatives of the 1990s and early 2000s, which are centered on the notion of accountability, Secretary of Education Arne Duncan’s Race to the Top initiative strives to bring such accountability down to the level of the individual teacher through the use of advanced statistical parsing of student achievement data. Through the calculation of “teacher value-ad...

Teaching UAVs to Race With Observational Imitation Learning

Recent work has tackled the problem of autonomous navigation by imitating a teacher and learning an end-to-end policy, which directly predicts controls from raw images. However, these approaches tend to be sensitive to mistakes by the teacher and do not scale well to other environments or vehicles. To this end, we propose a modular network architecture that decouples perception from control, an...

Hospital teaching intensity, patient race, and surgical outcomes.

OBJECTIVES To determine if the lower mortality often observed in teaching-intensive hospitals is because of lower complication rates or lower death rates after complications (failure to rescue) and whether the benefits at these hospitals accrue equally to white and black patients, since black patients receive a disproportionate share of their care at teaching-intensive hospitals. DESIGN A ret...

Workforce race equality: Case studies of good practice from non-NHS employers

Tense like equality algebras

In this paper, first we define the notion of involutive operator on bounded involutive equality algebras and by using it, we introduce a new class of equality algebras that we called it a tense like equality algebra. Then we investigate some properties of tense like equality algebra. For two involutive bounded equality algebras and an equality homomorphism between them, we prove that the tense ...
