Download or read book The Reading Achievement of Kansas Urban African American Fifth Graders Before and During No Child Left Behind written by Trinity M. Davis and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the implementation of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (PL 107-110), Kansas state reading standards, benchmarks and indicators have been aligned to meet the recommendation of the National Reading Panel (2000). The components that are aligned with the Kansas reading standards are phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. High stakes testing and test scores disaggregated by race creates accountability in meeting instructional reading indicators for all students, specifically African American students. With increased pressures to meet and exceed the reading standards and close the achievement gap between Black and White students, schools are searching for instructional factors supportive of to meeting No Child Left Behind requirements. This mixed method study was conducted in three urban school districts in the state of Kansas. The quantitative study was conducted by analyzing African American fifth grade state reading assessment scores before and during implementation of No Child Left Behind to determine whether No Child Left Behind is positively impacting test scores. Data analysis revealed that African Americans increased in being at or above the standard, while decreasing the number below the standard. Out of the 180 schools in the three districts, six high performing schools were identified based on the percentage of African American students in the school, average mean scores before and during No Child Left Behind, and percentage of students at or above the standard from 2000-2007. Data were collected through detailed observational field notes and interviews with fifth grade teachers and principals in order to determine their perceptions of the instructional factors impacting reading scores. Data analysis revealed the following instructional factors impacting reading scores: analysis of data, quality professional development, teacher collaboration, high expectations, and parental involvement. Instructional reading indicators were coded throughout the observation of fifth grade classrooms. Observed indicators taught were phonics, vocabulary, comprehension of text types and text structures. This study provided perspectives of instructional strategies essential to increasing the reading strategies, skills and test scores of African American students while closing the literacy achievement gap between Black and White students in Kansas schools.

Download or read book The Achievement Gap in Reading written by Rosalind Horowitz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-07 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume prominent scholars, experts in their respective fields and highly skilled in the research they conduct, address educational and reading research from varied perspectives and address what it will take to close the achievement gap—with specific attention to reading. The achievement gap is redefined as a level at which all groups can compete economically in our society and have the literacy tools and habits needed for a good life. Bringing valuable theoretical frameworks and in-depth analytical approaches to interpretation of data, the contributors examine factors that contribute to student achievement inside the school but which are also heavily influenced by out-of-school factors—such as poverty and economics, ethnicity and culture, family and community stratifications, and approaches to measurement of achievement. These out-of-school factors present possibilities for new policies and practice. The overarching theme is that achievement gaps in reading are complex and that multiple perspectives are necessary to address the problem. The breadth and depth of perspectives and content in this volume and its conceptualization of the achievement gap are a significant contribution to the field.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Impact of School Infrastructure on Learning: A Synthesis of the Evidence provides an excellent literature review of the resources that explore the areas of focus for improved student learning, particularly the aspiration for “accessible, well-built, child-centered, synergetic and fully realized learning environments.†? Written in a style which is both clear and accessible, it is a practical reference for senior government officials and professionals involved in the planning and design of educational facilities, as well as for educators and school leaders. --Yuri Belfali, Head of Division, Early Childhood and Schools, OECD Directorate for Education and Skills This is an important and welcome addition to the surprisingly small, evidence base on the impacts of school infrastructure given the capital investment involved. It will provide policy makers, practitioners, and those who are about to commission a new build with an important and comprehensive point of reference. The emphasis on safe and healthy spaces for teaching and learning is particularly welcome. --Harry Daniels, Professor of Education, Department of Education, Oxford University, UK This report offers a useful library of recent research to support the, connection between facility quality and student outcomes. At the same time, it also points to the unmet need for research to provide verifiable and reliable information on this connection. With such evidence, decisionmakers will be better positioned to accurately balance the allocation of limited resources among the multiple competing dimensions of school policy, including the construction and maintenance of the school facility. --David Lever, K-12 Facility Planner, Former Executive Director of the Interagency Committee on School Construction, Maryland Many planners and designers are seeking a succinct body of research defining both the issues surrounding the global planning of facilities as well as the educational outcomes based on the quality of the space provided. The authors have finally brought that body of evidence together in this well-structured report. The case for better educational facilities is clearly defined and resources are succinctly identified to stimulate the dialogue to come. We should all join this conversation to further the process of globally enhancing learning-environment quality! --David Schrader, AIA, Educational Facility Planner and Designer, Former Chairman of the Board of Directors, Association for Learning Environments (A4LE)
Download or read book The Impact of Traditional and Departmentalized Classroom Instructional Settings on Fifth Grade Students Reading Achievement written by Teneshlia Chennis (T.) and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative casual-comparative research was to provide educators data pertaining to reading and the influence of classroom instructional setting on reading test scores. This study investigated if learning in a departmentalized instructional setting had a subsequent positive effect on fifth grade students’ reading achievement as measured by the 2015 Virginia Standards of Learning Assessment, as opposed to fifth grade students who were exposed to a traditional instructional setting. Data was collected from the accountability office of the selected school district. Fifth grade students in a departmentalized or traditional regular education classroom participated in this study. The convenience sampling of 737 students were from grade K-5, non-Title I elementary schools in the suburban area of the school district. An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) was conducted to determine if there was a statistically significant difference between mean reading scale scores of fifth grade students who were taught using different instructional settings while controlling for prior achievement. The statistical analysis of this study showed no significant difference in reading achievement scores between students taught in a traditional or departmentalized instructional setting. Therefore, recommendations for further research were provided.

Download or read book Evaluation of the Influence of Multi level Reading Materials on the Achievement of Fifth Grade Elementary Science Pupils when Placed at Reading Level by an Informal Reading Inventory written by Donald R. Daugs and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to statistically evaluate the influence of student placement at reading level by means of an informal reading inventory in one kind of elementary science materials. The materials were written at five levels of reading difficulty to better meet the reading ability spread found in the intermediate grades. The significance of student placement on achievement gain was evaluated by an analysis of variance. Groups were also equated with respect to reading level and teacher rating by an analysis of covariance. Population The materials were used in 21 fifth grade classrooms in four Oregon school districts. The classes were divided into three treatment groups which were distributed among the schools. Treatment Groups Treatment 1. Students read at one of five levels as determined by an individual informal reading inventory. Treatment 2. Students read at one of five levels as determined by a group informal reading inventory. Treatment 3. Students read at only the middle (C) level of the five levels supplied by the publishers. Hypotheses Tested (1) There is a significant difference in achievement on criterion test items among classes of fifth grade students who study material written at one or five reading levels when students are placed at respective reading level by an informal reading inventory administered by an individual having thorough training in the use of informal reading inventories. (2) There is a significant difference in achievement on criterion test items among classes of fifth grade students who study material written at one or five reading levels when students are placed at respective reading level by a group informal reading inventory administered by the classroom teacher. Results (1) Analysis of variance revealed no significant differences among the three treatment groups. The results indicate that the informal reading inventory will place students 1. 3 years lower in the materials used in this study than would the Metropolitan Reading Achievement tests. Additional research must be undertaken before it can be concluded that there is not a significant advantage in using the multi-level materials under study. The teacher effectiveness and guessing on the pretest variables need to be more adequately- controlled. Data on teacher rating indicated that teacher effectiveness was a valid area for further research.
Download or read book An Analysis of Reading Instruction for Fifth Grade Students with Disabilities Served in Inclusive Elementary Classrooms written by Elizabeth D. Dragone and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative case study was designed to identify and analyze instructional strategies used by fifth grade teachers to meet the needs of students with disabilities receiving reading instruction in inclusive settings. Seven participants in a large suburban school system were chosen through purposeful, criterion-based sampling. Semi-structured interviews were used to gain information about how teachers use data related to student readiness, interests, and learning profiles to design differentiated instruction. Observations were used to gain information about how the teachers implemented differentiated content, process, and products in the classroom. As more students with disabilities are served in inclusive settings, teachers are finding they need to differentiate instruction to meet the varied needs of their students. Previous studies have found that adjusting one of the components of differentiated instruction (readiness levels, interest levels, learning profiles, content, process, or product) to meet individual needs increases the opportunities for students to be successful in the classroom. However, there is limited research on the impact of combining all of these components into the framework of differentiated instruction on achievement levels. There is also limited research on how teachers actually plan and implement differentiated lessons. The results of this study indicate that general and special education teachers can work collaboratively to meet the diverse needs of all students in an inclusive classroom. By using data to analyze the readiness levels, interest levels, and learning profiles of all students and planning lessons to address student needs, teachers were able to successfully teach the required curriculum to their students in an inclusive setting. The teachers that demonstrated the greatest amount of differentiated instruction had the strongest collaborative relationships. These were the teachers that described their relationship as a partnership. They analyzed student data and planned lessons together, felt a shared responsibility for all students in the class, and, as a result, provided a supportive learning environment. Administrative support, shared planning time, on-going professional development, and appropriate materials were identified by the teachers as key ingredients for a successful inclusive classrooms.
