This book was released on 2017 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although graduation rates are increasing in the United States, high school dropouts remain an issue of significant concern. Much of the focus of research in this area has been on describing the characteristics of dropouts rather than on developing effective interventions. Moreover, emerging research shows that potential dropouts can be identified with confidence as early as the sixth grade. High school is the time in which dropouts are typically identified and interventions begun, but the seeds of dropping out are often planted well before ninth grade. This survey research study with quantitative analysis used an instrument titled Teacher Perceptions of Dropout Factors and Interventions to examine the perceptions of dropout factors and dropout prevention methods of 165 core subject-area middle school and high school teachers in a school district in the southeastern United States. Results showed there were no statistically significant differences in the perceptions of middle school and high school teachers as to the importance of 18 specific risk factors. The study did find statistically significant differences in the perceptions of dropout prevention efforts and in the importance of the role of teachers in dropout prevention. The study further showed that in this particular district, middle school teachers had a higher perception of dropout prevention efforts and of the importance of teachers in dropout prevention than high school teachers did. Implications for practice to reach at-risk students are discussed as it relates to both middle and high schools, and areas for further research in this area are identified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding delinquency and reasons why young adolescents disengage in education and later drop out of school has continually puzzled practitioners and theoreticians. While there have been works that have focused on delinquency and disengagement in education, the role that the family plays on reducing delinquency has generally remained unknown.

Book Factors Contributing to Secondary School Dropouts in the Jackson Public School District  the Largest Urban School District in the State of Mississippi

Download or read book Factors Contributing to Secondary School Dropouts in the Jackson Public School District the Largest Urban School District in the State of Mississippi written by Calvin Lockett and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, nationwide, approximately one third of American high school students have not been graduating from high school. The dropout rate is one of the reasons cited for the implementation of the No Child Left Behind legislation, which highlighted the severity of the dropout problem and the imposing priorities and standards placed on school districts. Mississippi leads the nation in the rate of students who drop out of high school. The purpose of this study was to examine the factors that contribute to the dropout epidemic in secondary schools in the Jackson (Mississippi) Public School District where annually a high percentage of students, particularly African Americans, fail to graduate with their grade 9 cohorts. This study used a descriptive and causal-comparative research design to identify the contributing factors to secondary school dropouts among 80 students enrolled in the Career Academic Placement (CAP) program in the Jackson Public School District. The Jackson Public Schools Dropout (JPSD) Questionnaire was utilized for the study. Differences in the students' responses were examined using a Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis analysis of variance (ANOVA). Findings in this study indicated that the number one factor that led students to decide to drop out of school was feeling that they were behind, or failing course work. This affected about 55% of the students, causing them to leave school early. Additional results revealed 15% of the respondents who dropped out were grade 9 students, and approximately 15% of the respondents who dropped out were grade 12 students. Approximately 42.5% of the students comprised 10th graders and 27.5% were 11th graders.
