Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student mobility--the event of students moving into and out of schools--is prevalent and has established negative relationships with both academic and non-cognitive outcomes for mobile students and the classrooms and schools that serve them. Despite this, there is a dearth of research examining student mobility, and, in particular, only a sparse literature that allows for causal interpretations of the causes and consequences of student mobility. The research presented in this dissertation aims to address some of the gaps in the literature on student mobility. Chapter one of the dissertation presents a framework that defines student mobility and outlines the relationships between causes and consequences of mobility within different contexts. Chapter two uses the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten cohort to explore student- and school-level correlates of mobility, as well as relationships between mobility and academic achievement. In chapters three and four, I empirically examine student mobility in the context of charter schools. In chapter three I use data from the Evaluation of Charter School Impacts to estimate the effect of charter school admissions and attendance on student mobility. Chapter four uses statewide data from Colorado to explore student mobility within the traditional and charter school sectors. Together I find that: 1) rates of mobility vary based on student background characteristics and indicators of school quality, 2) students who won admissions to charter middle schools were less likely to experience mobility than their peers who lost admissions lotteries, 3) mobility rates in Colorado's charter schools are higher than in TPSs in the state, both descriptively and after controlling for school characteristics, and 4) the motivation for student mobility and the relative quality of students' sending and receiving schools are important moderators of mobility's relationship with student achievement.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 10 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on the effectiveness of educational interventions usually is based on samples of students who remain in the same school over time. In contrast, most students transfer schools at least once during their K-12 school career, not including normative transfers such as those from elementary to middle school (Rumberger, 2002). Even when looking at just the two years prior to the 1998 NAEP, one-third of fourth graders, 19 percent of eighth graders, and 10 percent of twelfth graders had changed schools at least once (Rumberger, 2002). Mobility is higher among low-income and minority populations (Rumberger, 2002). While many studies have investigated the relationship of student mobility with achievement (Alexander, Entwisle, & Dauber, 1996; Reynolds, Chen, & Herbers, 2009; Rumberger & Larson, 1998; Tucker, Marx, & Long, 1998), the degree to which this relationship might vary among schools has not been fully investigated; in other words, are some schools more effective with mobile students than others? Data for the current study were obtained from a prior study of student mobility in a mid-Atlantic state that took place in 2001-2003. (A full description is available in Rogers, 2004.) This study examined complete school history data from a statewide sample of students in order to investigate the relationship between mobility and reading achievement in the sixth year of schooling. Cross-classified, multiple membership models were used to accurately account for students' membership in multiple schools during Year 6 as well as prior years. The relationship between mobility and reading scores was found to be non-significant on average, but examination of the variance components revealed that the impact of student mobility on reading achievement varied significantly among schools. Furthermore, the covariance estimate suggests that mobility gaps are especially large in schools with higher overall levels of achievement. This suggests that further research is necessary that more closely examines the contextual effects of mobility. Tables are appended.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of this study was to determine if there is a difference between student mobility and academic achievement as measured by the North Carolina End-of-Grades (EOG) Tests in Reading and Mathematics among North Carolina middle-school students in Cumberland County schools. A secondary purpose of this study is to examine the difference between reading and mathematics EOG test scores of mobile and non-mobile middle school students by gender and race. This study focuses on the issue of student mobility and its impact on academic achievement as measured by the North Carolina End-of-Grade Test in reading and mathematics. The population of the study was comprised of a cohort of 476 middle school students over a four-year period in the Cumberland County School System. Students were identified as mobile if they had changes other than promotional moves, for example elementary to middle school. Non-mobile were identified as those students who made only promotional moves. All students in the study were from single family homes and were also identified as socio-economically disadvantaged at the beginning of the study. The study explored a non-experimental two group comparison design using existing data. Seemingly, this study, in spite of its limitations, has added to the body of existing literature providing interesting insight to the effects of multiple moves on end of grade test results. Middle school students who were classified as mobile exhibited a significantly lower performance on the EOG tests for reading and math. Mobility, beyond the transition from elementary school to middle school, appears to have a negative effect on performance on high stakes accountability testing such as the EOG tests in reading and math. This was observed at all grade levels where data was collected. The effect of mobility on the performance on EOG reading and math tests was also examined as it affects the performance of males and females. Males were observed to perform significantly better on the reading EOG tests. Their performance on the EOB math test was varied. Finally, the effect of mobility on middle school students' performance on EOG reading and math tests was examined as it related to race. White mobile students scored higher than Black mobile middle school students on the EOG reading and math tests.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Student mobility is the constant flow of students enrolling in and transferring out of a school or school district throughout the school year. High student mobility negatively impacts the mobile and non-mobile students as well as the larger school community. The constant state of flux caused by high rates of student mobility in urban schools prevents schools from providing consistent and coherent instruction to both the mobile and the non-mobile student populations. Consequently, urban schools are disproportionately failing to close the achievement gap between advantaged and disadvantaged student populations. To date, education reform initiatives have failed to address student mobility and the implications for academic achievement and accountability. Student mobility remains unrecognized as a serious problem that impacts all aspects of urban education reform and contributes to the gap in achievement between advantaged and disadvantaged students. This descriptive, mixed methods study examines the extent, causes, and consequences of student mobility on urban school districts in Massachusetts. The research codifies the concepts, terms, and student mobility formula and establishes statewide benchmarks for intradistrict and interdistrict comparisons. School districts were categorized as having student populations that were mobile, highly mobile, and hypermobile. Following a quantitative analysis of factors in relation to student mobility statewide, this study examines the urban school district of Chelsea, Massachusetts, to determine the extent, causes, and consequences of high student mobility at the school and classroom levels. From the case study emerges evidence that highly mobile students are generally lower performing academically compared to non-mobile counterparts; students leaving the school district tend to be students of higher academic achievement than those students entering the school district; and the higher performing students have a greater percent of time in the school district. Furthermore, research reveals high student mobility negatively impacts the mobile student, non-mobile student, and the entire educational community. Findings from the study have implications for policy and practice.
