Download or read book Student Engagement written by Amy L. Reschly and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides cutting-edge, evidence-based strategies and interventions that target students’ engagement at school and with learning. Coverage begins with the background and 29-year history of the Check & Connect Model and describes the model and assessment of student engagement that served as the backdrop for conceptualizing the engagement interventions described in the book. Subsequent chapters are organized around the subtypes of student engagement – academic, behavioral, affective, cognitive – that were developed based on work with the Check & Connect Model. Principles and formal interventions are presented at both the universal and more intensive levels, consistent with the Response-to-Intervention/Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) framework. The book concludes with a summary on the lessons learned from Check & Connect and the importance of a system that is oriented toward enhancing engagement and school completion for all students. Interventions featured in this book include: Peer-Assisted Learning Strategies (PALS). The Homework, Organization, and Planning Skills (HOPS) Intervention. The Good Behavior Game in the classroom. Check-in, Check-out (CICO). Banking Time, a dyadic intervention to improve teacher-student relationships The Self-Regulation Empowerment Program (SREP). Student Engagement is a must-have resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in child and school psychology, educational policy and politics, and family studies.

Book excerpt: This booklet addresses the difficulties of comparing and drawing meaning from dropout data prepared by different agencies, and examines the characteristics of students--and of schools--that place students at risk for leaving school prematurely. The booklet describes prevention programs and presents evidence on their effectiveness. It reviews research on school dropouts among special education populations--research that attempts to establish the magnitude of the problem, identify predictors or correlates of those at risk, and evaluate the effectiveness of programs to reduce dropout rates. It presents suggestions for teachers and administrators intended to minimize the likelihood of students' dropping out. A chapter on program implications discusses such issues as establishing dropout rates, establishing graduation/completion criteria, and adopting prevention programs. The booklet includes a list of 43 references and 47 print resources. (JDD)

Download or read book The Effects of Transition Intervention on Students with Mild Disabilities written by Yvonne Anton Kelley Niemann and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The process of transition from high school to adult life is particularly important for students with mild disabilities because these students show a pattern of overwhelmingly low expectations and progress. Transition services, self-determination, and focus on outcomes are essential to improve success. Curriculum designed around the interests and abilities of the student, with assistance to meet goals through a coordinated set of activities, academics, work experiences, and personal insight is essential. The STEP Grant supported students with mild disabilities in collaboration with the University of Louisville and a metropolitan school district in Kentucky. Helping students obtain their high school diplomas was emphasized. Students were involved in planning, personality development, work experiences, and connections to adult services. This dissertation constitutes program evaluation of this transition intervention follow-up program for high school students with mild disabilities ( N = 50). Data were obtained from district archival records for IEPs, Transition Plans, grades, personality testing (Self-efficacy and Locus of Control), and a STEP Grant Student Follow-up Survey. The quantitative or qualitative methods were specified for each different research question. Procedures included descriptive statistics, reliability calculations for the personality measures, ANOVA, correlation, chi-square, semipartial correlations, and qualitative analysis of student comments. Important findings included (a) many IEPs lacked Transition Plans; (b) 46 of 50 students met STEP criteria for success and 100% graduated from high school; (c) the personality measures were generally not reliable for this sample of low-socioeconomic status students with mild disabilities; (d) vocational plans, training/education, and jobs generally did not match; (e) wages were negatively related to LD (as opposed to MMD and BD categories) and attendance. However, results must be viewed with caution because there is no way of ensuring that participants were similar to the other 58 students who did not return surveys. Compared to students with mild disabilities who generally do not fare well with respect to transition outcomes, the students in this STEP Grant did manage to stay in school. Yet more detailed analyses indicated that this "success" was belied by the reality that most were in low-wage, low-status service jobs.
