Download or read book The Attendance achievement Link in Secondary Education written by Meredith Sager McNett and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2014, the Utah State Legislature passed an amendment for Section 53A-11-102 of the Utah Code regarding the way public school student absences are treated in the state of Utah. The law effectively states that parents may excuse any number of absences without restriction for family events or visits to healthcare providers during the school year, which replaced the previous system requiring a set number of required days present in the classroom (State System of Public Education, 2014). With this change in the law, it is possible that students are now missing more days of school than they were under previous seat-time requirements. The law also provides that students have the opportunity to make up all work that is missed, which raises the question of whether or not a change in seat-time affects actual Academic Learning Time, or the time that students spend in an actual classroom working on meaningful learning activities.

Download or read book Teachers and Academic Partners in Urban Schools written by Lori Beckett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Showing how critical thinking and local democracy can be a spur to very real educational development within schools that are facing severe challenges, this book provides us with one very valuable contemporary resource of hope.' Ian Menter, Professor of Teacher Education, University of Oxford, UK Teachers and Academic Partners in Urban Schools identifies and addresses a major problem for practitioners – teachers, student teachers and teacher educators – working in urban schools burdened by highly restrictive teaching methods and pressures to meet unrealistic benchmarks set by government. In this book, Lori Beckett investigates how to negotiate these tensions and challenges and offers an account of how to elevate practitioners’ professional voice on quality teaching along more democratic lines. The book addresses key issues for teachers in urban schools, such as: fractures in teachers’ professional communities; impacts of imposed marketizing policies and forced performative practices on schools; the complexities of teaching and teachers’ concerns about practice, as well as teaching practitioners’ perception of educational/schools policy. Both academic and teacher partners contribute to the work, showcasing the ways they have engaged with each other in joint work and with local government. Through this, the book supports a professional and politicized dialogue about teaching and teacher education, offering a meaningful account of how to fashion a form of educative schooling for students and families with complex needs. Written by a dynamic and experienced author, this book brings Beckett’s experience to bear on a controversial and complex area – addressing the general trend towards increased regulatory policy in education. It is an essential read for anyone interested in a rich analysis of how practitioners can work to reassert their professional voice and regain control of schools and teacher education, and will also appeal to those interested in the larger project of restoring school democracy.

I would recommend it to primary colleagues too....Its messages about school effectiveness can uniquely be applied to school improvement because there is data about how the same children fared under different regimes in different subject areas in the same school' - "School Leadership & Management " This major new school effectiveness study is a thought-provoking investigation of the concept of secondary school effectiveness. Based on a three-year study of secondary schools GCSE performance, the authors point to the importance of looking at: trends over time; effectiveness for different groups of students; and subject differences. They highlight the importance of moving beyond league table approaches and the need to focus on individual departments using value-added approaches. Forging Links illustrates the complexities of judging school performance. The findings make a significant contribution to our understanding of the factors and processes which help some schools and departments to enhance student progres
