Download or read book Poverty and Literacy written by Nathalis Wamba and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-07-16 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a mutual dependence between poverty and academic achievement, creative pedagogies for low-income pupils, school models that ‘beat the odds’, and the resiliency of low-income families dedicated to the academic success of their children. This book examines the connection between poverty and literacy, looking at the potential roles and responsibilities of teachers, school administrators, researchers, and policymakers in closing the achievement gap and in reducing the effects of poverty on the literacy skill development of low-income children. There are numerous suggestions about how to improve schools so that they respond to the needs of low-income children; some argue for school reform, while others advocate social reform, and yet others suggest combining both educational reform and social reform. Without a strong foundation in literacy, children are all too often denied access to a rich and diverse curriculum. Reading and writing are passports to achievement in many other curricular areas, and literacy education plays an important role in moving people out of poverty toward greater self-sufficiency post-graduation. Schools and home environments share responsibility for literacy skill development; in school, literacy equals the acquisition of reading and writing skills, but it is also a social practice key to social mobility. The achievement gap between low-income, middle-class, and upper middle-class students illustrates the power of socioeconomic factors outside school. This book was originally published as two special issues of Reading & Writing Quarterly: Overcoming Learning Difficulties.

Book excerpt: "The present report is an analysis of the results of the 1921 Census of Canada relating to illiteracy and school attendance.

(2) Can you write? and (3) Months at School since September 1, 1920 the census being taken as of date June 1, 1921. The statistical tables compiled from these questions have been previously issued in separate census bulletins, Bulletin No. 17 dealing with School Attendance and Bulletin No. 18 with Literacy. The statistics have also been included in further elaboration in Volume II of the Census Report. The present report is a descriptive examination and interpretation of these statistics"--Preface.

Download or read book Managing School Attendance written by Ken Reid and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-15 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers and governments all agree that if you wish to raise educational standards then it’s imperative to improve school attendance, and yet an average of around ten per cent of secondary pupils are missing school on a daily basis. Despite governments around the globe trying to address this situation, any improvements have been negligible and improvements in school attendance have been stubbornly hard to achieve. As an internationally recognised expert on this topic, Professor Ken Reid offers workable, practical solutions to help schools improve attendance and to reduce non-attendance and truancy at government level, school and local authority level, individual pupil level and at the family level. Underpinned by the very latest research, but expanded upon with an accessible, practitioner focus, the issues covered by this topical text include: The causes of non-attendance and truancy Successful interventions and the evidence from research Reflections on the attempts to find national solutions Implementing home-school solutions An agenda for the future Supporting throughout with case-studies and workable solutions to the most demanding of situations, this book will be essential reading for head teachers, deputy head teachers, teachers and any educational professional eager to raise standards for all.
