Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many low-income families struggle with stable housing and frequently have to move due to foreclosures, rent increases, or other financial setbacks. Children in these families can experience lasting negative effects, especially those who are young and still developing basic learning and social skills. A joint NRC-IOM committee held a workshop in June 2009 to examine these issues, highlight patterns in current research, and discuss how to develop a support system for at-risk children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Student mobility is the constant flow of students enrolling in and transferring out of a school or school district throughout the school year. High student mobility negatively impacts the mobile and non-mobile students as well as the larger school community. The constant state of flux caused by high rates of student mobility in urban schools prevents schools from providing consistent and coherent instruction to both the mobile and the non-mobile student populations. Consequently, urban schools are disproportionately failing to close the achievement gap between advantaged and disadvantaged student populations. To date, education reform initiatives have failed to address student mobility and the implications for academic achievement and accountability. Student mobility remains unrecognized as a serious problem that impacts all aspects of urban education reform and contributes to the gap in achievement between advantaged and disadvantaged students. This descriptive, mixed methods study examines the extent, causes, and consequences of student mobility on urban school districts in Massachusetts. The research codifies the concepts, terms, and student mobility formula and establishes statewide benchmarks for intradistrict and interdistrict comparisons. School districts were categorized as having student populations that were mobile, highly mobile, and hypermobile. Following a quantitative analysis of factors in relation to student mobility statewide, this study examines the urban school district of Chelsea, Massachusetts, to determine the extent, causes, and consequences of high student mobility at the school and classroom levels. From the case study emerges evidence that highly mobile students are generally lower performing academically compared to non-mobile counterparts; students leaving the school district tend to be students of higher academic achievement than those students entering the school district; and the higher performing students have a greater percent of time in the school district. Furthermore, research reveals high student mobility negatively impacts the mobile student, non-mobile student, and the entire educational community. Findings from the study have implications for policy and practice.

Book excerpt: Extensive literature on the problems in our country's education system exists; however, little attention has been given to high classroom student turnover at the state and federal levels (Hartman, 2002). Largely, research suggests mobility as being one of several interrelated factors which have an effect on students and the level of success experienced in school. Poverty is a prevailing factor in much of the student mobility research. Children in poverty are most likely to be mobile because their parents are moving from place to place to avoid rent, and they often become homeless. Some researchers say poverty is the cause of lower student success because these students grow up with less language exposure and less life experiences (Ashby, 2010; Kerbow, 1996; Nelson, Simoni, & Howard, 1996; Robertson, 1999; Xu, Hannaway, & D'Souza, 2009). In analyzing the variables surrounding mobility, Rumberger (2002) acknowledged studies have found mobility to be "more of a symptom than a cause of poor school performance" (p. 2). -- When considering documented research and the relationship between poverty and student mobility, it is unclear to what extent each factor may independently affect a student's academic career. With mixed results throughout the research examining the relationship between student mobility and school success, analyses have shown a correlation between mobility and levels of student academic achievement. -- The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of student mobility and other factors such as behavior and attendance on student achievement in a rural elementary school in North Carolina (p. 3). In this study, student mobility is defined as official student enrollment and attendance at more than one school. This study inspected historical data of mobile and nonmobile students in Grades 4 and 5 in school years 2011-2012 and 2012-2013. The researcher compared the data between students who were mobile and those who were nonmobile in an effort to raise awareness of the possible effects of students attending multiple schools. Interviews of classroom teachers were conducted to assess trends in teacher perceptions on the effects of mobility. The study resulted in recommendations of processes and strategies for implementation to assist mobile students as they enter and exit the school in this study.

Book excerpt: Student mobility is an issue that affects school districts large and small across the nation. Schools can do very little to control the causes of mobility, but a great deal can be done to reduce the negative effects for mobile students through effective planning and consistent practices. Schools must focus on collaborative efforts to provide a welcoming environment for all families, assuring a positive transition for every student at any point during the school year. Mobility is rarely convenient or planned. Children are not in control of the choices that result in frequent school changes. Our job as educators is to help all students effectively transition into new schools, making connections with other students, staff members, and the community. In doing so, they are given the best chance of social and academic success for however long they are in our care.

Book excerpt: Student mobility is the phenomenon of students in grades K-12 changing schools for reasons other than customary promotion from elementary school to middle school or from middle school to high school. This non-promotional school change can occur during the school year or in the summer between school years. It may involve residential change, school change, or both. Students may change schools for reasons that are considered positive, such as when a family moves to a better school, neighborhood, or job. In fact, the current education policy environment sends a strong message to parents that school choice--which typically involves school change--is good. Community-based charter schools and school voucher programs are examples of school choice policy initiatives. The federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB) requires that school districts provide students in schools identified as "In School Improvement," based on trends in proficiency test passage rates, with the opportunity to transfer to a school not designated as "In School Improvement." Student mobility has consequences for schools, students, communities, and public policy. Research has found that students who change schools more frequently are likely to have worse educational outcomes. Highly mobile students are also more likely to be those with other risk factors--low income, special education, homelessness, or an unstable home environment. School changes worsen the learning and achievement problems of these at-risk children. In 2011, Community Research Partners (CRP) and The Thomas B. Fordham Institute (Fordham) entered into a partnership to conduct research on student mobility in Ohio. Fordham, a national leader in advancing educational excellence through quality research, commentary, and advocacy, wanted to build on their recent research on student mobility in the Dayton area and examine student mobility throughout the state. CRP brought to the project its experience in undertaking research on student mobility in the Columbus City Schools (CCS) and in processing and analyzing student-level records from the Ohio Department of Education (ODE). The research employs descriptive and analytic statistics--presented in spreadsheets, visualizations, and reports--to provide a picture of student mobility for all Ohio public school districts and buildings and public charter schools, with in-depth analysis for five large urban regions (Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo). The research also addresses several state policy issues of interest to Fordham: (1) open enrollment patterns; (2) "non-counters" profile (students whose test scores do not count in district performance ratings), and (3) monthly enrollment profiles of public districts. Appended are: (1) public school districts of each urban region; (2) public school buildings of each urban region; and (3) public charter schools of each urban region. Tables, figures, and maps are included in each urban region analysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive analysis of the astonishing changes that elevated the Chicago public school system from one of the worst in the nation to one of the most improved. How a City Learned to Improve Its Schools tells the story of the extraordinary thirty-year school reform effort that changed the landscape of public education in Chicago. Acclaimed educational researcher Anthony S. Bryk joins five coauthors directly involved in Chicago’s education reform efforts, Sharon Greenberg, Albert Bertani, Penny Sebring, Steven E. Tozer, and Timothy Knowles, to illuminate the many factors that led to this transformation of the Chicago Public Schools. Beginning in 1987, Bryk and colleagues lay out the civic context for reform, outlining the systemic challenges such as segregation, institutional racism, and income and resource disparities that reformers grappled with as well as the social conflicts they faced. Next, they describe how fundamental changes occurred at every level of schooling: enhancing classroom instruction; organizing more engaged and effective local school communities; strengthening the preparation, recruitment, and support of teachers and school leaders; and sustaining an ambitious evidence-based campaign to keep the public informed on the progress of key reform initiatives and the challenges still ahead. The power of this capacity building is validated by unprecedented increases in benchmarks such as graduation rates and college matriculation. This riveting account introduces key actors within the schools, city government, and business community, and the partnerships they forged. It also reveals the surprising yet essential role of Chicago's innovative information infrastructure in aligning disparate initiatives. In making clear how elements such as advocacy, civic capacity, improvement research, and strong democracy contributed to large-scale progress in the system's 600-plus schools, the book highlights the greater lessons that the Chicago story offers for system improvement overall.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the achievement gap has dominated policy discussions over the past two decades, relatively little attention has been paid to a gap even more at odds with American ideals: the opportunity gap. Opportunity and achievement, while inextricably connected, are very different goals. Every American will not go to college, but every American should be given a fair chance to be prepared for college. In communities across the U.S., children lack the crucial resources and opportunities, inside and outside of schools that they need if they are to reach their potential. Closing the Opportunity Gap offers accessible, research-based essays written by top experts who highlight the discrepancies that exist in our public schools, focusing on how policy decisions and life circumstances conspire to create the "opportunity gap" that leads inexorably to stark achievement gaps. They also describe sensible policies grounded in evidence that can restore and enhance opportunities. Moving beyond conventional academic discourse, Closing the Opportunity Gap will spark vital new conversations about what schools, parents, educators, and policymakers can and should do to give all children a fair chance to thrive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP), this groundbreaking new handbook assembles in one place the existing research-based knowledge in education finance and policy, thereby helping to define this evolving field of research and practice. It provides a readily available resource for anyone seriously involved in education finance and policy in the United States and around the world. The Handbook traces the evolution of the field from its initial focus on school inputs and the revenue sources used to finance these inputs to a focus on educational outcomes and the larger policies used to achieve them. It shows how the current decision-making context in school finance inevitably interacts with those of governance, accountability, equity, privatization, and other areas of education policy. Because a full understanding of the important contemporary issues requires input from a variety of perspectives, the Handbook draws on contributors from a variety of disciplines. While many of the chapters cover complex state-of-the-art empirical research, the authors explain key concepts in language that non-specialists can understand.
