This book was released on 2007 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of college preparation programs is to help students, particularly underrepresented students of color, to enroll and succeed in college. While many programs focus on strengthening students' math and reading skills, familiarizing them with college entrance exams, and demystifying the college admissions process, there are few guidelines for how these programs should be structured and which intervention practices are most effective at achieving the desired results. This report draws on several qualitative and quantitative data sources, collected as part of a longitudinal study of college preparation programs, to gather demographic information and data to determine why students enroll in special programs, the attitudes their family and friends have about the program, and students' academic and non-academic behaviors. Information was also gathered about student aspirations, obstacles, self-efficacy, identity and more. The Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis (CHEPA) seeks through this research to discern which elements of college preparation programs are more effective than others and why. While research on this topic is ongoing, CHEPA has identified several common program challenges. These are: (1) Many programs are geared toward short-term solutions; (2) Few programs have coordinated relationships with the schools that the students attend and the postsecondary institutions where students will attend; (3) Families are often ill equipped to provide advice to their children; (4) Most programs survive on soft money; (5) Program evaluation is absent; (6) Student attrition from the day they graduate from high school until the end of their first term at college remains a significant problem; (7) Most graduates of college preparation programs attend two-year community colleges or public state universities; and (8) Academic, counseling and social activities are the primary components of college preparation programs. Program characteristics, instructional components, and desired outcomes are outlined in a flowchart of model college preparation programs. Strategies for improving program effectiveness and next steps for stakeholders conclude this report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing on Christine Sleeter's review of research on the academic and social impact of ethnic studies commissioned by the National Education Association, this book will examine the value and forms of teaching and researching ethnic studies. The book employs a diverse conceptual framework, including critical pedagogy, anti-racism, Afrocentrism, Indigeneity, youth participatory action research, and critical multicultural education. The book provides cases of classroom teachers to 'illustrate what such conceptual framework look like when enacted in the classroom, as well as tensions that spring from them within school bureaucracies driven by neoliberalism.' Sleeter and Zavala will also outline ways to conduct research for 'investigating both learning and broader impacts of ethnic research used for liberatory ends'"--
Download or read book Redefining Teacher Education and Teacher Preparation Programs in the Post COVID 19 Era written by Bull, Prince Hycy and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2021-12-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, teacher preparation programs modified their practices to fit the delivery modes of school districts while developing new ways to prepare candidates. Governmental agencies established new guidelines to fit the drastic shift in education caused by the pandemic, and P-12 school systems made accommodations to support teacher education candidates. The pandemic disrupted all established systems and norms; however, many practices and strategies emerged in educator preparation programs that will have a lasting positive impact on P-20 education and teacher education practices. Such practices include the reevaluation of schooling practices with shifts in engagement strategies, instructional approaches, technology utilization, and supporting students and their families. Redefining Teacher Education and Teacher Preparation Programs in the Post-COVID-19 Era provides relevant, innovative practices implemented across teacher education programs and P-20 settings, including delivery models; training procedures; theoretical frameworks; district policies and guidelines; state, national, and international standards; digital design and delivery of content; and the latest empirical research findings on the state of teacher education preparation. The book showcases best practices used to shape and redefine teacher education through the COVID-19 pandemic. Covering topics such as online teaching practices, simulated teaching experiences, and emotional learning, this text is essential for preservice professionals, paraprofessionals, administrators, P-12 faculty, education preparation program designers, principals, superintendents, researchers, students, and academicians.
Download or read book Earl Campbell written by Asher Price and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Earl Campbell was a force in American football, winning a state championship in high school, rushing his way to a Heisman trophy for the University of Texas, and earning MVP as he took the Houston Oilers to the brink of the Super Bowl. An exhilarating blend of biography and history, Earl Campbell chronicles the challenges and sacrifices one supremely gifted athlete faced in his journey to the Hall of Fame. The story begins in Tyler, Texas, featuring his indomitable mother, a crusading judge, and a newly integrated high school, then moves to Austin, home of the University of Texas (infamously, the last all-white national champion in college football), where legendary coach Darrell Royal stakes his legacy on recruiting Campbell. Later, in booming, Luv-Ya-Blue Houston, Campbell reaches his peak with beloved coach Bum Phillips, who celebrates his star runner’s bruising style even as it takes its toll on Campbell’s body. Drawing on new interviews and research, Asher Price reveals how a naturally reticent kid from the country who never sought the spotlight ran into complex issues of race and health. In an age when concussion revelations and player protest against racial injustice rock the NFL, Campbell’s life is a timely story of hard-earned success—and heart-wrenching sacrifice.
