Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over one million high school students drop out of school each year in this country. Dropping out of school is a serious problem for the student, community, and the nation. Often dropouts are unable to compete in an increasingly technological society and face numerous consequences from their decision to leave school early including higher levels of poverty, unemployment, public assistance, incarceration, and poor health. Dropping out is a gradual process of school disengagement and related to individual, family, and school factors. In the past, it has been difficult to track individual student's progress through school and to determine accurate dropout and graduation rates. In 2005, the National Governors Association made a commitment to implement a uniform method to calculate and report graduates and dropouts as well as better data collections systems. This study intended to replicate aspects of other major studies around the county to determine the best early predictors of dropping out of school in this large school district in southern Arizona and use this information to build an early warning system. Student data were obtained from the district's Research and Accountability office for a cohort of students (n=6751) who began the ninth grade in fall 2006 and graduated or should have graduated in 2010. Data collected included general demographic information, academic data, number of schools attended, and school withdrawal codes. The intent of this research was to determine if there were statistically significant differences between dropouts and graduates in the variables collected and which variables yielded the highest effect sizes and should be included in the district's early warning system. Two analyses were used to determine significance differences between dropouts and graduates. Then four analyses were performed to determine the highest-yield variables for this district. Consistent with recent research in the field, the variables of ninth grade attendance, ninth grade English and Math grades, and GPA were the strongest predictors of student dropouts. Local educators can use this early warning information to help identify potential high school dropouts as early as possible and intervene more efficiently and effectively with these students.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High school dropouts pose an enormous social and economic cost to society, and while current policy initiatives in education are moving in the right direction, few explicitly tackle this issue. Extensive research has shown that certain early warning signals (poor attendance, unsatisfactory behavior, poor coursework performance) are strong predictors of dropout. Newer studies have attempted to map the dynamic set of factors driving dropout. This paper extends the early warning signals framework (the ABC's) by including explanatory variables for student drive, school experience, influence of friends/peers, and parents' goals for their child (DEFG). Each factor (with the exception of school experience) is a strong predictor of dropout, and the model has strong explanatory power (r2=.213). These results indicate a need to include multiple factors in dropout prevention programs and increase focus on the student's experiences both in and out of school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dropout phenomena has remained consistent for decades, causing it to be labeled a 'crisis' and 'America's silent epidemic'. Therefore, the purposes of this research study were to add to the body of research on school dropouts and to determine if a relationship existed between internal motivation, dropping out of school, and the student's unalterable social background against alterable school-related practices. The content from five research studies were analyzed to answer the research questions that guided this study. The findings of this study concluded that students with low internal motivation were at an increased risk for dropping out; however, it was determined that student motivation was regulated through the student's background and the school's climate. All students from lower income households were placed at a greater risk for school dropout. However, all students with low internal motivation, negative peer associations, from lower income households, that had to change schools more than once (forced mobility), were incarcerated, with parent(s) that had less than a high school diploma, and/or parents that did not have quality parent-child discussions about class assignments with their children were at the greatest risk for dropping out. ELL, Black, Latino, Native American, Alaskan Native, Cambodian, Laotian, Hmong, and Vietnamese students were at an increased risk for dropping out; with males being placed at a greater risk than females. Family structure was not found to be a risk factor over and beyond parental involvement. This study concluded that after controlling for the student's social and academic background negative student/teacher relationships, low teacher expectations, negative classroom interactions, and the school's climate predicted dropping out. The additional school-related risk factors found to be related to school dropout were: low academic and social support, eighth grade course failure, a lack of credit accumulation in eighth and ninth grade, being bullied, prolonged (five or more years) special education placement for non-White and all students, being over age in ninth grade, poor performance on 8th grade standardized testing, the anticipation of senior exit exams, and being retained before or during the ninth grade. Yet, students at the greatest risk were those who received the ABC's prior to dropping out which includes: excessive absences (A), excessive disciplinary infractions or behavioral problems (B), and prolonged academic/course (C) failure; which in the ninth grade was also found to culminate and be a major independent predictor variable to dropping out. Additionally, students who were socially promoted between the sixth and ninth grades were also at the greatest risk for the ABC's and dropping out compared to retained students. It was also concluded that there is a severe shortage of both males and non-White Pre-K to 20 faculty, teachers, and administrators and that any interruptions and disruptions (e.g., excessive absences, forced mobility, incarceration) in schooling without interventions to achieve and sustain proficiency, significantly increases school dropout. Therefore, this study concluded that dropping out is a long-term consequence and a culmination of five or more years of: unmonitored student achievement and/or social and behavioral problems, a lack of quality teaching and preparation in Pre-K through 8th grades, a lack of ongoing strategic school and political leadership that incorporates interventions to improve, support, and sustain academic success, in addition to a lack of quality parental involvement. Lastly, political leadership and higher education have supported the school's failure to provide an equitable and safe learning environment for all students to succeed and contributed to the school dropout problem in the United States school system for decades. #

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do women in most developing countries lag behind men in literacy? Why do women get less schooling than men? This anthology examines the educational decisions that deprive women of an equal education. It assembles the most up-to-date data, organized by region. Each paper links the data with other measures of economic and social development. This approach helps explain the effects different levels of education have on womens' fertility, mortality rates, life expectancy, and income. Also described are the effects of women's education on family welfare. The authors look at family size and women's labor status and earnings. They examine child and maternal health, as well as investments in children's education. Their investigation demonstrates that women with a better education enjoy greater economic growth and provide a more nurturing family life. It suggests that when a country denies women an equal education, the nation's welfare suffers. Current strategies used to improve schooling for girls and women are examined in detail. The authors suggest an ambitious agenda for educating women. It seeks to close the gender gap by the next century. Published for The World Bank by The Johns Hopkins University Press.
