Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the second book in the series examining student achievement. The chapters in this book reflect the scholarly papers presented at the July 2006 Education Policy, Leadership Summer Institute (EPLSI) by K–16 educators, researchers, community advocates, and policymakers who work in urban communities. The Institute serves as a place where individuals interested in scholarly discussions and research directly related to: (1) how data can be utilized to inform policy; (2) examining the urban school context from the perspectives of the polity, school leaders; students; and other related internal and external actors; and (3) identifying strategies for improving student academic achievement can gather. During this week-long Institute, participants examined the structural problems and policy tensions affecting urban communities and student achievement. The Institute’s theme, Meeting the Challenges of Urban Schools is reflected throughout this book. Specifically, this edition explores the interrelated aspects of policy, practice and research and how they affect academic achievement. The five sections in this book examine different challenges facing urban schools and their impact on student performance.

Jones and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation investigated relationships between school climate, social emotional learning (SEL) and racial equity in academic outcomes to understand the role that school climate and SEL can play in the promotion of racially equitable academic outcomes. The setting of the study was the Seattle Public Schools (SPS), a racially diverse school district serving over 50,000 students. All students in grades 3-12 are invited to complete a survey each Spring that covers school climate and SEL. The present study found the student survey to be a reliable measure of student perceptions of school climate and student self-reported SEL, which, after some adjustment, was invariant to race, gender, and home language. This study found that Multiracial students reported significantly less positive perceived school climate, while Asian and Latinx students reported slightly more positive perceived school climate compared to White students. All racial groups of color reported lower levels of self-reported SEL compared to their White peers. School climate did not account for race differences in self-reported grades. SEL accounted for a statistically significant, but small portion of race differences in grades. The strength of the association between SEL and grades was not as strong for Black, Native, Asian, and Multiracial students compared to Whites. Perceptions of school climate were positively associated with grades for all racial groups, although the association was less strong for Asian students. Finally, schools with more positive school climates experienced smaller race differences in student self-reported grades. The moderating effect of school climate on race differences in grades remained after accounting for the poverty level of the school and students' own perceptions of climate at their school. This moderating effect may be confounded by the effects of school grade-level category (i.e., elementary, middle, or high) since perception of positive school climate was lower in middle and high schools than in elementary schools. Despite the difficulty of disentangling school climate from grade-level category, the findings suggest school improvement strategies focused on school climate may promote racial equity in academic outcomes. Additional research on racial equity in SEL and its role in race differences in grades is also warranted.

Download or read book Children Schools And Inequality written by Doris R Entwisle and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational sociologists have paid relatively little attention to children in middle childhood (ages 6 to 12), whereas developmental psychologists have emphasized factors internal to the child much more than the social contexts in explaining children's development. Children, Schools, and Inequality redresses that imbalance. It examines elementary school outcomes (e.g., test scores, grades, retention rates) in light of the socioeconomic variation in schools and neighborhoods, the organizational patterns across elementary schools, and the ways in which family structure intersects with children's school performance. Adding data from the Baltimore Beginning School Study to information culled from the fields of sociology, child development, and education, this book suggests why the gap between the school achievement of poor children and those who are better off has been so difficult to close. Doris Enwistle, Karl Alexander, and Linda Olson show why the first-grade transition?how children negotiate entry into full-time schooling?is a crucial period. They also show that events over that time have repercussions that echo throughout children's entire school careers. Currently the only study of this life transition to cover a comprehensive sample and to suggest straightforward remedies for urban schools, Children, Schools, and Inequality can inform educators, practitioners, and policymakers, as well as researchers in the sociology of education and child development.
