Book excerpt: This phenomenological study highlighted the perceptions of teachers and parents toward the academic and social effects of looping in elementary schools. The purpose of this study was to determine if teachers and parents feel that looping in elementary schoolbetter supports student relationships, growth, and academic achievement. The sample for this study included elementary school teachers and parents in a large school district in South East USA., who have participated in one or more years of looping with a coed group or a single-gender group of students. Findings showed that parent-teacher relationships improved, students showed a greater level of comfortability with school, teachers were able to use student data to guide instruction while looping, and teacher classroom management improved. Key findings from this study gave insights intolooping so that teachers, parents, and administrators can make informed decisions regarding the delivery of instruction for students in the elementary school setting.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this phenomenological study was to understand better the lived experiences of seven elementary looping teachers. Specifically, their perceptions of whether or not the participation of looping facilitated their professional growth as it relates to the four primary areas of T-TESS. Previous studies in the realm of looping have a focus on student experiences and achievement. Although looping is research-based and shown to enhance student achievement, no known researcher had examined how looping teachers perceive the experience in terms of their professional being. This study was an opportunity to fill the gap in literature based on experiential learning opportunities for educators. The conceptual framework of the Texas Teacher Evaluation and Support System (henceforth, T-TESS) guided the analysis for this study as the Texas Education Agency has identified the areas of teaching excellence within the T-TESS expectations. This study uses the constructivist theory as the lens to consider teachers' development through active and hands-on learning. By using these frameworks, themes from the participants' interviews revealed that the looping experience was influential to the participants' development of skills aligned with teaching excellence in the areas of planning, instruction, learning environment, and professional practices. The participants in this study constructed a firsthand understanding of teaching excellence in various areas in the form of the job-embedded experience of looping. In the area of planning, the participants collectively recalled in saturation how looping influenced their planning in the areas of vertical alignment mastery and decision making based on an improved knowledge of students. The experience of looping impacted the participants' understanding and ability to achieve expectations, build a more solid foundation of content knowledge, and monitor/adjust instruction.

Download or read book Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 587 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children are already learning at birth, and they develop and learn at a rapid pace in their early years. This provides a critical foundation for lifelong progress, and the adults who provide for the care and the education of young children bear a great responsibility for their health, development, and learning. Despite the fact that they share the same objective - to nurture young children and secure their future success - the various practitioners who contribute to the care and the education of children from birth through age 8 are not acknowledged as a workforce unified by the common knowledge and competencies needed to do their jobs well. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 explores the science of child development, particularly looking at implications for the professionals who work with children. This report examines the current capacities and practices of the workforce, the settings in which they work, the policies and infrastructure that set qualifications and provide professional learning, and the government agencies and other funders who support and oversee these systems. This book then makes recommendations to improve the quality of professional practice and the practice environment for care and education professionals. These detailed recommendations create a blueprint for action that builds on a unifying foundation of child development and early learning, shared knowledge and competencies for care and education professionals, and principles for effective professional learning. Young children thrive and learn best when they have secure, positive relationships with adults who are knowledgeable about how to support their development and learning and are responsive to their individual progress. Transforming the Workforce for Children Birth Through Age 8 offers guidance on system changes to improve the quality of professional practice, specific actions to improve professional learning systems and workforce development, and research to continue to build the knowledge base in ways that will directly advance and inform future actions. The recommendations of this book provide an opportunity to improve the quality of the care and the education that children receive, and ultimately improve outcomes for children.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Student Engagement written by Sandra L. Christenson and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement. The Handbook guides readers through the field’s rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource. Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include: Engagement across developmental stages. Self-efficacy in the engaged learner. Parental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation. The engaging nature of teaching for competency development. The relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents. Comparing methods for measuring student engagement. An essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.
