Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose . School reform has led educators to consider nontraditional ways of looking at teaching and learning to determine what is most beneficial for students. Looping is a two year placement of students with the same teacher. Offering students and families the stability of a long term relationship with a teacher builds trust and community. This study compared second grade students in looping and nonlooping classrooms. Students, teachers, and parents provided data in the areas of (a) academic achievement, (b) student perceptions of feelings about the classroom and academic motivation, and (c) the influence of student/teacher/parent relationships. Research questions . (1) Does classroom teacher continuity impact student academic achievement? Do students who have experienced looping have higher achievement levels than students who have not looped? (2) Does classroom teacher continuity affect student perceptions of feelings about the classroom and academic motivation? (3) What do looping teachers see as the advantages and disadvantages of looping as determined by a teacher survey? How does looping affect student academic progress and social relationships with students, parents, and other educators? (4) What do parents see as the advantages and disadvantages of looping as determined through parent surveys and a parent small group meeting? Procedures . A quantitative analysis using ANOVA assessed academic achievement, student perceptions of feelings about the classroom, and academic motivation. A qualitative analysis was used to analyze survey responses from teachers and parents concerning looping. Results . The only statistically significant difference found between looped and nonlooped students was in the area of language arts achievement. Parents were very supportive and felt looping promoted the cognitive, affective, and social growth and development of their children. Parents felt their children experienced less stress, felt more comfortable with the teacher, and had a positive attitude toward school due to caring relationships. Teachers saw many social benefits involving student and parent relationships. Teachers felt a looping classroom required more organization, planning, and professional development to implement the program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is an increasing interest in the practice of teachers staying with a group of students for more than one year. This is referred to as looping in educational practice. The problem of constant uncertainty or change of a new teacher year to year, creates less academic time and student anxiety. The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of looping, to strengthen the relationship between the student and teacher in order to create less student anxiety and more academic time in the beginning of the school year. A review of the literature reveals that students in a looped classroom have a closer relationship with their teacher and as a result, feel like their classroom is a home away from home. In a looped classroom, there is an increase in student attendance, decrease in discipline problems, and there is a greater opportunity to observe children, determine their needs and adjust instruction according to the individual needs of the children. Due to the close student/teacher relationship, the teacher is able to teach to each student's needs. Although there has been little research on looping, we do know that the Waldorf schooling method has been around since the early 1900s. More research on looped classroom needs to be done to help support the idea that looping is socially and academically beneficial to students in the primary grades. In addition to reviewing the literature, I also conducted a questionnaire which assessed students' perspective on being in a looped classroom. This voluntary questionnaire gave me a better understanding of the benefits of this educational term referred to as "looping". The questions were designed to discover a child's feelings towards their teacher and their classmates in a looped classroom. I gathered data in order to confirm or reject the research information that I retrieved. Results indicate that there are many social and academic benefits for students in a classroom with the same teacher and classmate consecutive years. Published research and the gathered data prove that students are less anxious about the upcoming school year and create a strong bond not with the teacher and their peers when they are in a looped classroom.
