This book was released on 2014 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research indicated that many students entering middle and high school read below grade level. This quantitative study attempted to address the problem of low-income African American students from northeast Louisiana entering ninth grade with low reading skills. The purpose of this ex post facto study was to investigate the effects of a Response to Intervention (RtI) Tier 2 literacy intervention on the academic achievement of ninth grade students reading below grade level. The research was grounded in Bloom's mastery learning theory and Dewey's child-centered learning theory. The research question was whether students that completed the literacy intervention performed better on the ninth grade state-mandated assessment than students who did not receive the intervention. The secondary data used in this ex post facto study were the ninth grade iLEAP ELA (integrated Louisiana Educational Assessment Program) scores as measures for the dependent variable. Students who completed the literacy intervention did not score significantly higher on the iLEAP ELA. These results indicated that the intervention that was evaluated in this study was not effective with the population involved in this research. The findings point to the need for alternative literacy interventions that may have to be customized for student populations with different remediation needs.

Book excerpt: READ 180 is a comprehensive reading intervention program designed to meet the needs of elementary to middle school students whose reading achievement is below the proficient level. The program directly addresses individual needs through differentiated instruction, adaptive and instructional software, high-interest literature, and direct instruction in reading, writing, and vocabulary skills. Stage A provides tools for young struggling readers in elementary school to develop critical literacy skills. Stage B provides middle school struggling readers with topics designed for their level of reading that hold their interest. System 44 was designed for the most challenged, older struggling readers, and helps these students understand that the English language is a finite system of 44 sounds and 26 letters that can be mastered. It uses validated assessment for screening and placement, research-based phonics instruction and highly motivating and age-appropriate adaptive technology.

Book excerpt: The “powerful” (Michelle Alexander) exploration of the harsh and harmful experiences confronting Black girls in schools, and how we can instead orient schools toward their flourishing On the day fifteen-year-old Diamond from the Bay Area stopped going to school, she was expelled for lashing out at peers who constantly harassed and teased her for something everyone on the staff had missed: she was being trafficked for sex. After months on the run, she was arrested and sent to a detention center for violating a court order to attend school. In a work that Lisa Delpit calls “imperative reading,” Monique W. Morris chronicles the experiences of Black girls across the country whose complex lives are misunderstood, highly judged—by teachers, administrators, and the justice system—and degraded by the very institutions charged with helping them flourish. Painting “a chilling picture of the plight of black girls and women today” (The Atlantic), Morris exposes a world of confined potential and supports the rising movement to challenge the policies, practices, and cultural illiteracy that push countless students out of school and into unhealthy, unstable, and often unsafe futures. At a moment when Black girls are the fastest growing population in the juvenile justice system, Pushout is truly a book “for everyone who cares about children” (Washington Post).

Download or read book School Behavioral Health written by Mark D. Weist and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-02-03 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the prevalence of emotional and behavioral problems in youth and the implications of little or low-quality mental health services available for them. It describes aspects of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) and school mental health (SMH) that work together to form a comprehensive service delivery model called the Interconnected Systems Framework (ISF). The term school behavioral health (SBH) is used to describe SMH and PBIS working together, as in the ISF. The book examines perspectives of key stakeholders through a series of research forums, during which participants identified critical themes for the advancement of SBH in South Carolina and the southeast region of the United States. Chapters address key themes of school behavioral health from these forums, such as collaboration, schoolwide approaches, quality of services, and support for specific populations, including military families and youth involved in the juvenile justice and child welfare systems. The book addresses barriers to providing behavioral health services at school as well as recommendations from key stakeholders for advancing SBH along these critical dimensions. This volume is a must-have resource for researchers, professors, and graduate students as well as practitioners, clinicians, and therapists across such interrelated disciplines as clinical child and school psychology, educational policy and politics, social work, public health, school counseling, family studies, juvenile justice, child and adolescent psychiatry, and child welfare and well-being services.

Download or read book Re conceptualizing Secondary Literacy written by Melanie M. Brock and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rigorous school curriculums and end-of-course (EOC) exams have brought the need for literacy interventions at the high school level to the forefront. As 21st-century learning evolves, curriculum is shifting from traditional teaching to more student-centered approaches that value differentiated literacy instruction. Furthermore, teachers are receiving resources and ongoing professional development on secondary literacy interventions through Ohio literacy grants. However, the concept of literacy intervention across courses at the high school level is often overlooked due to the assumption that students have mastered reading comprehension in elementary school. The current mixed-methods investigation focuses on the implementation of evidence-based literacy interventions in an Ohio designated Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) high school. The purpose of the current study is to determine the impact of 21st-century literacy strategies on student reading levels, as well as student and teacher perceptions of literacy interventions and instruction. The examined literacy strategies include vocabulary instruction, differentiated literacy instruction, and both Fountas' & Pinnell's System of Strategic Actions (SOSA) and Leveled Learning Literacy Intervention (LLI). Results from the current investigation can inform administrators and teachers on the impacts of literacy interventions at the secondary level. Quantitative data results suggest that students grew an average of three Fountas & Pinnell reading levels over one academic year, and an average of five Fountas & Pinnell reading levels over a longitudinal three-year time span when receiving literacy interventions across content areas. Qualitative student interviews demonstrated four emerging themes: Student Perception, Changing of Students' Perceptions, Student Perceptions of Instruction, and Students' Perceived Importance of Reading. Additionally, qualitative teacher interviews demonstrated three emerging themes: Teacher Perceptions of Literacy Instruction, Perceived Student Impact, and Support for Literacy Instruction. Student and teacher perceptions regarding literacy interventions aligned with quantitative results in the belief that literacy interventions are impactful if implemented with fidelity.
