Book excerpt: The purpose of this exploratory study was to analyze a Missouri school district's newly adopted academic schedule type policy. The school's new traditional academic schedule type replaced its previous block academic schedule type, effective for the 2005-2006 school year. This study reviewed the effectiveness of the policy change by analyzing the impact of each of the high school's academic schedule types, block and traditional, on the high school's targeted areas of student concern: attendance, academic achievement, and discipline incidents over a period of ten academic terms, 2000-2001, 200-2002, 2002-2003, 2003-2004, 2004-2005, 2005-2006, 2006-2007, 2007-2008, 2008-2009, and 2009-2010. Attendance data was defined as average daily attendance. Academic achievement was defined as tenth grade Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) mathematics subtest results, eleventh grade MAP communication arts subtest results, and the American College Test composite scores. Discipline was defined as the number of incidents per one hundred students enrolled during each academic year. Quantitative methods were utilized in this study. Descriptive statistics allowed for a review of each data set to calculate the means and variances requiring further analysis, and to determine whether the data met the assumptions of such analysis tools. One way Analysis of Variance was performed using each data set to determine if there were significant differences between and within each of the group/category means. This study yielded mixed support of the school's new academic schedule policy. Therefore, as suggested in the literature review, a hybrid academic schedule policy may prove to ultimately provide for the best academic schedule type in meeting the needs of students, course content, and school goals. The hybrid allows a school freedom to utilize a combination of both the traditional and block academic schedule at its discretion.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: This case study explored the impact of a scheduling intervention on the Georgia High School Graduation Test standardized achievement test scores of students identified as in need of remediation in the content areas of English and mathematics, paired with the perception of this scheduling model from key informants in the study. Students in the scheduling intervention were enrolled in a year-long, alternating content-day block scheduling model. The quantitative portion reviewed Georgia High School Graduation Test score data for students who participated in a modified block (referred to as Schedule Two) results were analyzed, indicating passing percentages, and number for each year, and content subject addressed in the study. Schedule Two students were identified as being at a high risk for failing standardized tests during their initial attempt based upon previous results. Results indicated Schedule Two students had higher than expected Georgia High School Graduation Test English and mathematics passing rates based on prior standardized test scores. The qualitative portion reviewed transcripts from interviews of teachers and students involved in the program. Dominate themes and patterns emerged. Results indicated that teachers and students perceived a schedule that offered year-long pacing was a better fit academically for students in need of remediation. Both students and teachers felt placing students in need of remediation all in the same classroom often lead to more behavior problems than the randomly computer-generated 4x4 block classes at the school. Both teachers and students noted difficulty adjusting to the alternating content day schedule. Implications of these findings are presented for educational leaders.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The academic achievement of high school students in the United States has remained behind in science and mathematics compared to other industrialized nations. Block scheduling is a reform movement that may increase proficiency rates of high school students in the areas of science and mathematics and increase overall high school graduation rates. This study presents the effects of 4X4 block scheduling on student achievement and continuous enrollment rates. The researcher used archival test data to determine whether a significant difference existed in the California State Standards Test (CST) scores in life science between sophomore students who attended high school on a 4X4 block schedule and those who attended high school on a traditional schedule. The results of an independent t-test suggests that sophomore students who attended high school on a traditional schedule performed significantly higher than sophomore students who attended a high school on a 4X4 block schedule. This researcher also used archival data to determine whether a significant difference existed in continuous enrollment rates between students who attended a high school on a 4X4 block schedule and those who attended a high school on a traditional schedule. The results of the Pearson chi-square suggests that students who began high school on a 4X4 block schedule were more likely to stay until they graduated than students who began high school on a traditional schedule.

Download or read book IMPLEMENTATION AND EVALUATION OF MODIFIED SCHEDULING WITH YEAR LONG LOOPED COURSES TO IMPROVE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE FOR AT RISK HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS written by Russell B Holloman and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School systems have continued to search for ways to increase student achievement by adjusting pacing and course alignment but have continued to find limitations due to scheduling. A multitude of schedules shift the school day to improve performance and increase test scores and address instructional issues. In North Carolina, this restructuring has most commonly been accomplished through the use of the 4x4 block schedule and the traditional day schedule. Although schedules have been manipulated in a variety of ways to increase student achievement, there has been limited overall improvement, especially as it relates to at-risk students. The primary objective of this descriptive and evaluative study is to analyze the data from a previously implemented pilot scheduling program to determine the degree to which modified scheduling could impact the academic performance of students who have been identified as at risk during their ninth and tenth-grade year. This study analyzed the data related to the use of a year-long, looped course sequence and improved student academic performance in mathematics and English courses while also improving on-track performance for identified at-risk students as compared to their 4x4 block scheduled peers. The purpose of this study is to analyze the data related to this pilot program in order to discover if the modified scheduling block with looping had any measurable impact on the academic performance of the cohort. A secondary purpose of the study is to use student performance data from the same cohorts to determine if the impact of year-long, looped course sequence had an impact on student retention and dropout rates. Finally, it is the intention of this researcher to provide the results of the study to assist other practitioners in the development and implementation of modified scheduling with looping for at-risk students. Data collected will be used to evaluate if a year-long, looped course sequence with at-risk students resulted in any significant academic gains. Data sources will include the student achievement records of approximately forty at-risk first-year ninth grade students who were part of the pilot course sequence grouped into the year-long, looped mathematics and English courses for the 2016-2017 school year.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.
