Download or read book Family School Links written by Alan Booth and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-31 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the presentations and discussions from a national symposium on family-school links held at the Pennsylvania State University, this volume brings together psychologists, sociologists, educators, and policymakers studying the bidirectional effects between schools and families. This topic -- the links between families and schools, and how these affect children's educational achievement -- encompasses a host of questions, each of key social and educational significance. * How far does parental involvement in schools affect children's experiences and achievement at school? * What explains the great differences between schools, families, and communities in the extent of such involvement? * Are these differences a matter of school practices, or do they reflect much broader social and cultural divisions? * What is the nature of the impact schools have on children and their families? * How can family-school-partnerships be fostered in a way that helps children? The chapter authors consider these questions and related issues, present different perspectives, highlight various aspects of the issues, and suggest widely differing answers. This volume's goal is to provide the reader with current information on what is known about family-school-community links, and to provoke new ways of thinking about these links and their implications for children's education and well-being.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines socioeconomic inequality and student outcomes across various Western industrialized nations and the varying success they have had in addressing achievement gaps in lower socioeconomic status student populations. It presents the national profiles of countries with notable achievement gaps within the respective school-aged student populations, explains the trajectory of achievement results in relation to both national and international large-scale assessment measures, and discusses how relevant education policies have evolved within their national contexts.

  • Publisher : LAP Lambert Academic Publishing
  • Release : 2010-06
  • ISBN : 9783838300092
  • Pages : 160 pages

Download or read book Raising Student Achievement written by Denise Weems and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2010-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The culture of a family's environment has been known to greatly impact a child's learning development. Unfortunately, too many parents are not involved outside of the classroom in their child's education as it relates to reading. As parents undertake the task of becoming involved in their child's education, they are faced with the fact that they are instrumental in laying the foundation for formal reading instruction. A child's very first teacher or role model are the parents. This book, therefore, looks at the resources in the home as well as how often students see their parents or another adult in the home read as a way of increasing student reading achievement. Primarily, the book provides information to parents and/or caregivers about factors that contribute to student achievement as a result of their inovlvement as well as informing other similar parents of urban school students throughout the country.

This book was released on 2021-01-21 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does the Nordic model of education still stand by its original principles and safeguard education for all? This Open Access volume is a carefully crafted collection of chapters that investigate the different aspects of equity, equality and diversity across the education systems in the Nordic countries. Based on data from various national and international large-scale assessments, the volume provides a better understanding of both the functions and foundations of the Nordic model, along with how the concepts mentioned above are enacted in practice. Across the chapters, data from different national and international large-scale assessment studies are used for cross- and single-country analyses on a variety of issues related to equity, equality and inequality in diverse educational settings. The investigations address different subject domains (i.e., mathematics, science, reading), age and grade groups, but also issues related to teachers and the schools themselves. In addition to these empirical chapters, the book addresses the theoretical and methodological underpinnings of the ideas and tools embedded in the phenomena of equity and equality and how they have met in the Nordic model of education.
