Book excerpt: Background: This study was a quantitative effort noting the rise in school choice, linking graduation rates to smaller instructional class sizes, differentiated instruction and college. Purpose: This quantitative study identified the increased graduation rate of early/middle college graduates and how a multicultural curriculum impacted their student achievement versus the traditional curriculum of Texas’ first Early/Middle College High School. This thesis discusses the early/middle college high school reform model in Texas. This study focused on Goal 2 of the Learn and Earn program which requires that early/middle college high school serve a diverse student population that reflects the local school district’s demographics in terms of race, gender, socio-economic status, students with disabilities, academic ability, and motivation levels. Methods: The study employed a quantitative approach using the Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 21 which was utilized to conduct various statistical analyses in order to answer the research questions. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Measures of central tendencies and dispersions were computed and reported for the independent and dependent variables. To answer the research questions and test the corresponding null hypotheses, inferential statistical tests such as One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) with Post Hoc analyses were computed and tested at the alpha level of .05. Results: High school students from Early College have significantly higher GPA. High school students from Early College high schools have significantly higher TSI math scores compared to students from Middle College and Traditional high schools. Early College schools have significantly higher graduation rates compared to Middle College. Conclusion: The types of school management have a significant effect on high school students’ GPA. High school students who enroll at Early College high schools tend to have higher GPAs. There is no significant difference between Traditional and Middle College high school students’ TSI math scores. Early Colleges have the highest graduate rates followed by Traditional. Middle College high schools tend to have the lowest graduation rates.

Download or read book Comparing Graduation Rates in Alternative High Schools and Traditional High School written by Laura Lee Felix and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: The purpose of this study was to investigate the graduation rates of Riverside County high schools, comparing continuation schools and regular high school settings. The study also investigated the dropout rate in continuation schools and regular high schools. Specifically, this study investigated graduation rates of traditional high school and continuation school; and the dropout ratio of traditional high school and continuation school. This study investigated the rates of graduation of Riverside County high schools, comparing continuation schools and regular high school settings. The study concluded there was no difference in the graduation rates by school type- traditional, continuation, and alternative schools, using one way analysis of variance. The study also investigated the dropout rate in continuation schools and regular high schools. The study concluded there was no difference in drop-out rates among school type-traditional and alternative school settings during the 2005, 2007, 2008, 2009 school years. For the 2006 school year for that school year could be due to an increasing population. Another factor may be that some students may not have received the amount or appropriate assistance they needed.
Download or read book The Effect of A Minimum Credit Diploma Pathway on High School Graduation Rate written by Teresa Strickland and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many paths to high school graduation. The reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act has driven schools to be creative in seeking strategies by which students successfully earn their high school diploma. In this non-experimental, causal-comparative study, a large Western North Carolina school district utilizes a minimum credit diploma to help students who previously experienced repeated academic failure achieve high school graduation by earning 21 course credits. The district requires traditional diploma-seeking students to earn seven additional credits to the 21 required by the State. Participants included high school graduates from the 2013-2014 school year. Both traditional and alternative diploma paths were studied to determine the impact of the alternative diploma on graduation rate of the traditional high school as well as the district. No significant difference was noted in the individual high school's reported graduation rate and graduation rate without the alternative diploma program, suggesting that the alternative diploma pathway may not have an effect on the overall graduation rate at the individual high school level. However, the study indicated a significant difference in End of Course scores for alternative diploma and traditional diploma students, suggesting that End of Course test performance has an effect on diploma pathway. The study also indicated a significant difference in reported graduation rates and graduation rate without the use of the alternative diploma program, suggesting that the alternative diploma program has an effect on the district's overall graduation rate.

Key features include: Comprehensive coverage that includes all aspects of distance education, including design, instruction, management, policy, and a section on different audiences. Chapter authors frame their topic in terms of empirical research (past and present) and discuss the nature of current practice in terms of that research. Future research needs are discussed in relation to both confirmed practice and recent changes in the field. Section one provides a unique review of the theories that support distance education pedagogy. Section six includes a unique review of distance education as a component of global culture. This book will be of interest to anyone engaged in distance education at any level. It is also appropriate for corporate and government trainers and for administrators and policy makers in all these environments. Recipient of the 2013 IAP Distance Education Book Award

Download or read book Handbook for Achieving Gender Equity Through Education written by Susan S. Klein and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-05-22 with total page 763 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, the Handbook for Achieving Gender Equity Through Education quickly established itself as the essential reference work concerning gender equity in education. This new, expanded edition provides a 20-year retrospective of the field, one that has the great advantage of documenting U.S. national data on the gains and losses in the efforts to advance gender equality through policies such as Title IX, the landmark federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education, equity programs and research. Key features include: Expertise – Like its predecessor, over 200 expert authors and reviewers provide accurate, consensus, research-based information on the nature of gender equity challenges and what is needed to meet them at all levels of education. Content Area Focus – The analysis of gender equity within specific curriculum areas has been expanded from 6 to 10 chapters including mathematics, science, and engineering. Global/Diversity Focus – Global gender equity is addressed in a separate chapter as well as in numerous other chapters. The expanded section on gender equity strategies for diverse populations contains seven chapters on African Americans, Latina/os, Asian and Pacific Island Americans, American Indians, gifted students, students with disabilities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Action Oriented – All chapters contain practical recommendations for making education activities and outcomes more gender equitable. A final chapter consolidates individual chapter recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers to achieve gender equity in and through education. New Material – Expanded from 25 to 31 chapters, this new edition includes: *more emphasis on male gender equity and on sexuality issues; *special within population gender equity challenges (race, ability and disability, etc); *coeducation and single sex education; *increased use of rigorous research strategies such as meta-analysis showing more sex similarities and fewer sex differences and of evaluations of implementation programs; *technology and gender equity is now treated in three chapters; *women’s and gender studies; *communication skills relating to English, bilingual, and foreign language learning; and *history and implementation of Title IX and other federal and state policies. Since there is so much misleading information about gender equity and education, this Handbook will be essential for anyone who wants accurate, research-based information on controversial gender equity issues—journalists, policy makers, teachers, Title IX coordinators, equity trainers, women’s and gender study faculty, students, and parents.
