Swarthmore’s Best-Kept Secrets: 3 Hidden Spaces You Should Know (Part II)

In Part One of Swarthmore’s Best-Kept Secrets: 3 Hidden Spaces You Should Know, I highlighted the Language Resource Center (LRC), Makerspace, and Crum Ruins. These spaces have become central to the college experience for some students, but to others, they remain hidden from Scott Arboretum’s lush vegetation or simply overshadowed by the semester’s demands. In this edition, I’ve decided to highlight even more obscure spaces that only a handful of students have discovered.

Pennsylvania state officials have proposed changing how they score students’ performance on state math and reading tests, making it easier for students to be considered “advanced.” The proposal , which Pennsylvania Department of Education officials shared with the state’s Board of Education Thursday, would have implications for how the state measures student achievement and schools’ success, and would apply to tests students took months ago. It comes after months of uncertainty over delayed test results in Philadelphia, where families and teachers have repeatedly asked officials to release the scores they usually get in August. State officials acknowledged the department’s cut score review contributed to the wait. “This delayed reporting.
