This book was released on 2009 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract : This study was conducted to identify factors that are predictive of student achievement outcomes and to analyze these factors in high-poverty schools versus low-poverty schools. Because of accountability standards implemented with the passage of No Child Left Behind, it is critical that educators determine factors that will increase student achievement most significantly. Once the most significant and most predictive variables of student achievement can be identified, stakeholders can implement policies and procedures to address those areas. In addition, instructional strategies can be employed to improve student success. The dependent variable under study was student achievement, which was dissected into two categories of communication art and math scores. The independent variables included were student attendance, class size, and highly qualified teachers. The objective of the study was to establish if a relationship existed between the independent variables and the dependent variable. In addition, a determination of how predictive these independent variables were of the dependent variable was an important aspect of the study. The sample included the entire population of mainstream 9-12 public high schools in a Midwest state. The statistical methods employed were descriptive statistics, Pearson r, p-value, coefficient of determination, and multiple regression. The analysis of the various statistical methods revealed a moderate correlation between student achievement and the independent variables of student attendance and highly qualified teachers for high-poverty schools. A significant level of correlation also existed between the below average attendance category and student achievement in both groups of high-poverty and low-poverty school settings. Additionally, attendance and teacher quality were predictive of both communication arts and math student achievement in the high poverty school setting, with attendance the most predictive. There was no significant relationship between class size and student achievement nor was it predictive of student achievement for either group of schools. The implications of the research will benefit stakeholders due to the effect significant variables have on student achievement in high-poverty schools. Stakeholders can work together to implement policies, procedures, and instructional strategies that can more effectively address the most predictive variables in order to improve student achievement. Additionally, the results are supportive of investigating and addressing the needs of high-poverty schools.

Download or read book The Relationship Between Proximal Environment and Scholastic Achievement for Students in an Urban School District written by Tanzia McFarland and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was first, to develop a unique model to define the proximal environments of students in the selected public school district. Second, the purpose of this study was to determine whether a relationship exists between proximal environments and academic achievement measures for students in an urban school district, and if so, which elements of the environment are related to diminishing performance. Finally, the purpose of this study was to discuss how research findings impact policy for the selected school district. The model used to develop environmental profiles was based on school attendance zones as the unit of analysis. This model determined which census tracts were located in which school attendance zones, and used census data to define the demographics of that school environment based upon the corresponding census tracts. In addition to the use of census data, the model used crime data to determine the per capita crime rate for each school's surrounding community. What contributes to the significance of this model is its interactive, geographic quality, which allows school districts to visualize the surrounding communities of individual schools. The results of this study suggest that the proximal environments of students attending selected public schools in the study school district are associated with CAT achievement measures for students in this district. Children dwelling in areas of the study district with low levels of income, low levels of adult educational attainment and high-density households are at risk for low achievement. The two variables that accounted for the most variance in achievement for the study district are the percentage of adults with bachelor's degrees in a community, and the percentage of households with 7 or more people. Even though the statistical analysis did not reveal significant relationships between achievement and high crime or achievement and high percentages of female headed households for the entire group of schools, it did demonstrate that these relationships may be significant for individual schools within the district. The results of this study had three policy implications for the study district. Findings suggested that policy efforts should focus on involving community agencies and coordinating community resources; developing positive parental-school partnerships; and developing and maintaining procedures for identifying and researching conditions that influence student attendance and achievement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the early 1990s when the nation’s first charter school was opened in Minneapolis, the scope and availability of school-based options to parents has steadily expanded. No longer can public education be characterized as a monopoly. Sponsored by the National Center on School Choice (NCSC), this handbook makes readily available the most rigorous and policy-relevant research on K-12 school choice. Coverage includes charters, vouchers, home schooling, magnet schools, cyber schools, and other forms of choice, with the ultimate goal of defining the current state of this evolving field of research, policy, and practice. Key Features include: Comprehensive – this is the first book to provide a comprehensive review of what is known about the major forms of school choice from multiple perspectives: historical, political, economic, legal, methodological, and international. It also includes work on the governance, structure, process, effectiveness, and costs of school choice. Readable – the editors and authors have taken care to translate rigorous research findings into comprehensible prose accessible to a broad range of readers. International – in addition to thorough coverage of domestic research, the volume also draws on international and comparative studies of choice in foreign countries. Expertise – the National Center on School Choice (NCSC) is a consortium that is headquartered at Vanderbilt University and includes the following partners: Brookings Institution, Brown University, Harvard University, National Bureau of Economic Research, Northwest Evaluation Association, and Stanford University. This book is suitable for researchers, faculty and graduate students in education policy studies, politics of education, and social foundations of education. It should also be of interest to inservice administrators and policy makers.
