This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract The purpose of this research was to explore the relationship between professional development and student achievement by addressing three major standards of professional learning: content, process, and context. This study included 276 teachers from 28 middle schools. Data from this study was gathered using the Standards Assessment Inventory (SAI) survey instrument designed by the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory (SEDL) and publicly available achievement data from the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP), a criterion-referenced achievement test. The Standards Assessment Inventory (SAI) was used to examine teachers' perceptions of professional development at the school level. The overall purpose of this study was to collect, analyze, and use existing data to answer the following research question: Based on the National Staff Development Council (NSDC) professional learning standards, is there a positive correlation between teachers' perception of professional development at a school-based level and student achievement? The following sub-questions guided this research: (1) Is there a relationship between the "context" of school-level professional development based on the NSDC standards and student achievement in mathematics and reading/language, as measured by TCAP scores? (2) Is there a relationship between the "process" of school-level professional development based on the NSDC standards and student achievement in mathematics and reading/language, as measured by TCAP scores? (3) Is there a relationship between the "content" of school-level professional development based on the NSDC standards and student achievement in mathematics and reading/language, as measured by TCAP scores?Data for this research was analyzed using statistical computational methods. The results from the data analysis determined that there were several positive significant relationships between the National Staff Development Council standards of professional learning and student achievement.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Before investing a large amount of human and financial resources in grade configuration redesign, urban school administrators need to understand whether it is the large structural changes, like grade configuration redesign, or whether it is the practices implemented within those larger structures that make the biggest impact on student achievement. In this study, 32 K-8 configured schools in the southeast United States are paired with 32 6-8 configured schools with comparable SES and minority rates within the same urban school district. This research uses the results from 192 educator surveys to determine the implementation level of established model practices, including interdisciplinary teaming, common teacher planning, heterogeneous grouping, advisory periods, exploratory courses, and looping. In addition, the reading and math achievement gain scores from the Florida Comprehensive Test of 12,727 sixth grade students are used to determine if there is a relationship between any of the practices, the grade level configuration of the school and student achievement in an urban setting. There were differences in student achievement by grade configuration, with the students in K-8 schools making significantly greater gains in both reading and math; however, that increase may well be due to other factors such as grade level size or socioeconomic differences rather than the configuration of the school. Of the model practices examined, interdisciplinary teaming was the only model practice that had a significant difference in level of implementation, which was higher in the K-8 configured schools. When achievement gains were compared to the level of implementation of each of the six model practices, no significant relationships were found. Finally, there was no difference in combined effects of grade configuration and implementation of model level practices with gains in student achievement in reading or mathematics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional development for educators is a yearly process that is created by districts in an effort to improve student achievement. This a comparative study that examines faculty member's opinions on the effectiveness of professional development and how that impacts student data. The study compares data of a northwestern school district between the years of 2009-2013 to analyze how student performance progressed while researched based professional development was being implemented. The findings of this study suggest that this Northwest Missouri school district is working to create high quality professional development that relates to School Improvement plans and helps both students and teachers be successful. Future research should focus on the impact of specific professional development and find what programs have the greatest impact on student learning and instructional strategies.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study was based on convergence of two educational theories: 1) that professional development improves teacher quality and instructional practices and therefore positively affects student achievement and 2) allocation of school resources positively affects student achievement. It is a common educational belief that professional development activities influence teacher quality through increased content knowledge and instructional skills. It is assumed that once teachers incorporate new teaching skills, students will be more engaged in learning, and student achievement will increase. Recent research on professional development effectiveness provided little empirical evidence of professional development effectiveness (Guskey & Yoon, 2009). This study extended professional development effectiveness and resource allocation theories to professional development expenditures and student achievement. The research question was: What is the relationship between professional development expenditures and student achievement? This study collected and analyzed professional development expenditures and student achievement data for 2007 for middle and high schools (N=426, N=1234 respectively) in Texas. A partial correlation, controlling for socioeconomic status and English proficiency, revealed that there is no relationship between professional development expenditures and 8th grade student achievement in language arts, mathematics, social studies, and science. High school results revealed small, but negative relationships between professional development expenditures and student achievement in English, mathematics, and science. Consequently, the study concluded that expenditures for professional development are not yielding positive returns in the student achievement domain.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation examined the impact on student achievement of teachers who participated in a professional development program using industry partnerships. One treatment and one non-treatment school in a large urban school district served as the sites for this inquiry with teacher participation in a professional development program and the achievement data of their science students being collected during the 2001-2002 school period. The impact of a teacher professional development program with industry partnerships such as Education for the Energy Industry (EEI) on student achievement in science was determined. National and state standardized tests were analyzed using extant data obtained from administering the fourth through the eighth grade Iowa Test of Basic Skills (ITBS) test and the eighth grade Texas Assessment of Academic Skills (TAAS) test. The differential influence of a professional development program for teachers on the achievement of students of diversity was determined by the TAAS scores and ITBS scores, which were partitioned by treatment condition and student ethnicity. Findings from this quantitative investigation suggest enhanced student achievement in science if teachers participated in a professional development program involving industry partnerships.
