This book was released on 2016 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Missouri State Board of Education and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education are dedicated to ensuring that all children have access to good schools that prepare them for college and career success. The Missouri School Improvement Program: Support and Intervention Plan takes a differentiated approach to state support based on student needs and district performance. The following principles are central to the development of this plan: (1) A focus on children and families; (2) High expectations for all students; (3) Access to high-quality schools for every child; (4) Solutions to meet the needs of each district and community; and (4) Early intervention and prevention. Identifying trends in student performance allows for a data-driven, early-detection support system. A tiered system provides optional access to high-quality educational supports for all districts and targeted supports and interventions to districts most in need. This approach maximizes the use of resources and is flexible enough to meet the many unique needs of the diverse districts in the state. This report provides details about the Missouri School Improvement Program and how it works. The following are appended: (1) The Missouri School Improvement Program; (2) Targeted Systems Reviews; (3) Resource and Process Standards for Missouri Public School Districts; (4) Role and Responsibilities of the Regional School Improvement Team (RSIT); and (4) State Board Options for Unaccredited Districts.

This book was released on 2002 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changing perceptions of communities about school performance and funding for schools has instigated a reform of school policy and standards. In 1993, the Missouri State Legislature passed the Outstanding Schools Act to address school funding equity and accountability in Missouri public schools. Over the past nine years new standards for accreditation for Missouri public schools have been developed and instituted as a result of this legislative act. Funding and student performance have been debated since the early 1960s, with no definitive conclusion to the question of whether money has an influence on student achievement and school quality. The purpose of this study was to determine if relationships exist between the funding characteristics of Missouri public school districts and the school quality factors such as student achievement, dropout rates, etc. The Missouri School Improvement Program (MSIP) sets the standards for school district quality and accreditation. The twelve MSIP standards were analyzed in comparison to school district financial characteristics using correlation matrices, factor analysis and multiple regression analysis. Results of the study indicate significant relationships exist between school quality variables and financial characteristics. The student population percentage eligible for free and reduced lunch displayed a strong negative correlation with school quality indicators. Other negative relationships with school quality indicators were state and federal percent of the revenue and the minimum guarantee per pupil from state funding. Positive relationships with school quality were found with higher local property values, A+ high schools, and a higher percent of the revenue from local sources. The regression analyses determined that the best predictors of school quality as defined by the school quality factor analysis were the percentage of enrollment eligible for free and reduced lunch, the operating tax levy, per pupil expenditure level, having an A+ high school in the district, the average daily attendance (student population), and the local assessed valuation of property level. This study may be helpful for state policymakers and local school officials as they work to implement school quality accountability standards as well as review funding issues for schools each year. This study's results indicate that higher poverty areas have greater difficulty meeting state standards and achieving the levels required in student achievement. More state funding does not seem to enhance the ability of districts to improve under the current funding mechanisms. A new funding policy may be needed to address inadequacy in funding, not just inequity between school districts.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS) * at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dissemination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the thought that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all con cerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an interna tional publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemination. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Cor poration of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 34 (thesis year 1989) a total of 13,377 theses titles from 26 Canadian and 184 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this important annual reference work. While Volume 34 reports theses submitted in 1989, on occasion, certain univer sities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.
