Download or read book Achievement of Ontario Grade 13 Students in University written by Alan J. C. King and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quality of preparation for college provided students by Ontario's educational system was assessed. First-year university achievement was compared for students from Ontario's Grade 13 and for students from the final matriculation year or equivalent of other Canadian provinces. University admission procedures were also studied to determine to what extent special requirements or adjustments were made for students who completed their secondary school education in different provinces. Additionally, the university achievement of the better students and the adjustment problems of all students in the first and second years of the university were examined. Four Ontario universities and two out-of-province universities that enrolled a significant number of students from Ontario were evaluated. Findings include the following: where secondary school grades were either specified or implied as admission requirements, Ontario students were typically allowed to gain entry into Ontario universities with the lowest grades of all students, followed by students from Quebec, Western Canada, and Atlantic Canada; in the Quebec university admission requirements to the arts, science, and commerce programs equate Ontario Grade 13 graduates with year of College d'enseignements generale et professional graduates and require students from other provinces to take a qualifying year; in comparison with students from other provinces, Ontario students in Ontario universities tend to receive higher marks in engineering and do as well or better in arts, science, and commerce; Ontario students tended to enter the university at a later age than students from all other provinces except Quebec.

Download or read book Evaluating Achievement of Senior High School Students in Canada written by Lenora Perry Fagan and published by Canadian Education Association. This book was released on 1995 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Canada today there is a clear move toward a more outcomes-based education system. This report examines the state of high school student assessment and reviews standards and accountability strategies. It reports on the policies, programs, and initiatives in all provincial ministries or departments of education and a sample of school boards across the country. Data were derived from a telephone survey of departmental/ministerial representatives from all 10 provinces and the 2 territories and from a questionnaire that was mailed to 279 school boards. A total of 140 boards responded, a 50 percent response rate. Data show that both boards and ministries are putting more emphasis on the development of comprehensive policies to cover all aspects of student evaluation. There is some movement away from relying on paper-and-pencil testing as the sole means of evaluation; the use of more authentic, performance-based approaches and a greater variety of assessment techniques are being promoted. Some of the best practices in high school evaluation involve use of a broad range of assessment methods; introduction of or improvements to provincial examinations; greater use of summative and formative evaluations; greater emphasis on modifying evaluation for special-needs students; use of performance-based assessment; and more reporting to parents and the public. Thirteen tables are included. Appendices contain copies of the two questionnaires and selected school board material. (Contains 19 references.) (LMI)

Download or read book How School Leaders Contribute to Student Success written by Kenneth Leithwood and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While considerable evidence indicates that school leaders are able to make important contributions to the success of their students, much less is known about how such contributions are made. This book provides a comprehensive account of research aimed at filling this gap in our knowledge, along with guidelines about how school leaders might use this knowledge for their own school improvement work. Leadership practices known to be effective for improving student success are outlined in the first section of the book while the remaining sections identify four “paths” along which the influence of those practices “flow” to exercise an influence on student success. Each of the Rational, Emotional, Organizational and Family paths are populated by conditions or variables known to have relatively direct effects on student success and also open to influence by effective leadership practices. While the Four Path framework narrows the attention of school leaders to a still-considerable number conditions known to contribute to student success, it leaves school leaders the autonomy to select, for improvement efforts, the sub-set of conditions that make the most sense in their own local circumstances. The approach to leadership described in this book provides evidence-based guidance on what to lead and flexibility on how to lead for purposes of improving student learning.
