Book excerpt: For the United States to prosper and compete in this new world of increased globalization, all students have to prepare themselves to be productive citizens and work toward receiving additional education past the secondary level. Private organizations such as the College Entrance Examination Board (a.k.a. College Board) have assisted in preparing students for a college education through rigorous coursework provided by the Advanced Placement Program (AP). The AP program gives students the opportunity to receive college level curriculum while still in high school. With research indicating the linkage between the academic achievement of students who participate in rigorous college-level courses in high school and the completion of a college degree, there is increased pressure for high schools to provide college-level preparatory coursework for their students. The AP program is one of the methods used in high schools to prepare students for college. Given the relationship between students’ passing of AP exams and their college degree attainment, analyzing the characteristics of an AP student who is successful on the AP exams can provide valuable information on the level of preparation a student possesses before partaking in a given AP exam. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to use multiple data sources to analyze trends in student performance on Stanford Achievement test, Preliminary PSAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying (PSAT) test, and AP exams. This study used archival student test data for approximately 12,000 students and discovered there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between Stanford Achievement Test and AP exam scores as well as reaffirmed an already examined positive relationship between PSAT and AP exam scores. In addition, this study provided expectancy tables, which indicates the percentage of students passing an AP exam at various test score levels on the Stanford Achievement Test and PSAT test. This information will prove useful to administrators for identifying students who should be strongly encouraged to enroll in AP courses.

Book excerpt: Data from 20 years (1970-90) of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) are summarized. The NAEP represents the nation's only ongoing assessment of the academic achievement of American students. Its assessments of educational achievement of students in grades 4, 8, and 12 are presented as "The Nation's Report Card". Chapter 1 of this report contains information about the students' competency in subject matter across the curriculum and their ability to use their minds well. Chapters 2 and 3 include information about the trends across time related to the performance of elementary school, middle school, and secondary school students in higher-order reasoning, problem solving, and communication skills as well as information about the academic achievement of minority students. Chapter 4 summarizes information about background variables related to education. In general, the data indicate that the educational performance of U.S. students is low and not improving. It is estimated that more than half of the nation's elementary through high school students are unable to demonstrate competency in challenging subject matter in English, mathematics, science, history, and geography. Fewer than half of all U.S. students appear to be able to use their minds well. Although considerable progress has been made in closing the performance gaps among different racial/ethnic and gender groups, the gaps still remain too large to meet the nation's objective of close parallels between the performance of minority students and the student population as a whole. Much that research has identified as effective in improving education is still not being implemented in the nation's schools. Nineteen tables and five figures summarize NAEP data. (SLD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2017 Texas Association for Gifted and Talented Legacy Scholar Book Award 2017 National Association of Gifted Children Scholar Book of the Year Award In Excellence Gaps in Education, Jonathan A. Plucker and Scott J. Peters shine a spotlight on “excellence gaps”—the achievement gaps among subgroups of students performing at the highest levels of achievement. Much of the focus of recent education reform has been on closing gaps in achievement between students from different racial, ethnic, or socioeconomic backgrounds by bringing all students up to minimum levels of proficiency. Yet issues related to excellence gaps have been largely absent from discussions about how to improve our schools and communities. Plucker and Peters argue that these significant gaps reflect the existence of a persistent talent underclass in the United States among African American, Hispanic, Native American, and poor students, resulting in an incalculable loss of potential among our fastest growing populations. Drawing on the latest research and a wide range of national and international data, the authors outline the scope of the problem and make the case that excellence gaps should be targeted for elimination. They identify promising interventions for talent development already underway in schools and provide a detailed review of potential strategies, including universal screening, flexible grouping, targeted programs, and psychosocial interventions. Excellence Gaps in Education has the potential for changing our national conversation about equity and excellence and bringing fresh attention to the needs of high-potential students from underrepresented backgrounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State-mandated testing programs are more prevalent and have greater implications for public school systems since the passing of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 and the implementation of standards-based reform practices. The 331 grade 7 students involved in this correlation research endeavor all attended a public middle school in Texas. One evaluated and analyzed fall 2007 Stanford 10 Achievement Test and Otis-Lennon School Ability Test (8th edition) results, and spring 2008 Math and Reading Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) scale scores to determine the statistical significance and strength of the relationship and whether or not a predictive-based relationship existed. The four different research questions were examined and all revealed a positive and significant correlational and predictive relationship between TAKS Reading and Math and both the Stanford 10 Achievement Test and the Otis-Lennon School Ability Test. The resulting predictive relationship between these assessments provides the research study school district and other school systems with an additional diagnostic tool to direct classroom instructional practices and offer areas of strengths and weaknesses as students prepare for state criterion-referenced tests.
