This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With school systems facing a trend of accountability mandates, the need for an evidence-based construct that subdues socioeconomic status has grown. Indeed, academic optimism has been proven to prevail over socioeconomic status. Academic optimism consists of uniting three reciprocal properties: collective efficacy, faculty trust of students and parents, and academic emphasis. There has been a tremendous need to examine the relationship between academic optimism and student achievement in high schools in Alabama. Alabama's high schools have been identified most frequently on the Failing Schools List and generally possess lower Alabama State Department of Education Report Card scores in comparison to elementary and middle schools. This quantitative study examined the relationship between academic optimism and the Failing Schools List. This study also examined the relationship and independent contributions between academic optimism and a segment of the Alabama State Department of Education's Report Card Indicators for high schools: career readiness scores (CCR), graduation rate, and student achievement (11th graders' math and ELA ACT with Writing scores - 2019) in selected Title I high schools throughout Alabama. The School Academic Optimism Survey (SAOS) was distributed to teachers in 60 Title I High schools. In regard to summative ACT-English Language Arts with Writing, the assumption of multicollinearity was not met. Also, there was not a significant independent contribution from any of academic optimism's subcomponents and the Failing Schools List, college and career readiness scores, graduation rate, and academic achievement on the summative ACT assessment. However, data analysis revealed a positive relationship between academic optimism and the Failing Schools List, despite socioeconomic status. A positive relationship existed between academic optimism and college and career readiness scores, graduation rate, and summative math ACT with Writing achievement scores. This study can serve as a resource for leaders and educators expected to conquer accountability mandates and successfully graduate students College and Career Ready in Title I high schools throughout Alabama.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accountability. The very mention of the word strikes fear in the hearts of many teachers and school leaders, leading to confusion and panic rather than improved student achievement. Author Douglas B. Reeves explains how to transform accountability from destructive and demoralizing accounting drills into a constructive decision-making process that improves teaching, learning, and leadership. Reeves encourages educators to become proactive in developing student-centered accountability systems. These systems capture the many aspects of teaching that test scores don't reveal—they tell the stories behind the numbers. Reeves shows how educators can create accountability systems that enhance teacher motivation and lead to significant improvements in student achievement and equity, even in traditionally low-performing schools. Accountability for Learning explains how to build a student-centered accountability system by examining key indicators in teaching, leadership, curriculum, and parent and community involvement. Focusing on the classroom, it outlines how teachers can become leaders in accountability by using a four-step process of observation, reflection, synthesis, and replication of effective teaching practices. Finally, the author discusses the role of local, state, and federal policymakers and corrects the myths associated with No Child Left Behind. "As educators, we have two choices," Reeves says. "We can rail against the system, hoping that standards and testing are a passing fad, or we can lead the way in a fundamental reformulation of educational accountability." Accountability for Learning gives readers the helping hand they need to lead the way to fair and comprehensive accountability.

Download or read book Holding Schools Accountable written by Helen Ladd and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Perhaps the most urgent—and complex—task facing American education today is to figure out how to hold schools accountable for improved academic achievement. In this important new work, Helen Ladd and her colleagues describe the options available to policymakers, weigh their respective strengths and pitfalls, and lay out principles for creating schools where learning is the number one objective. This book should be at the top of the reading list for anyone seriously interested in transforming the quality of American schools."—Edward B. Fiske, Former Education Editor, The New York Times A central theme of current efforts to reform elementary and secondary education in the United States is a more explicit focus on the outcomes of the educational system. This volume examines efforts throughout the country to hold schools accountable for the academic performance of their students. Researchers from various disciplines—most notably, economics, educational policy and management, and political science—address a range of questions related to performance- based strategies for reforming education. The authors describe and evaluate programs that recognize and reward the most effective schools, discuss the costs of achieving high performance, summarize what is known about parental choice as an accountability mechanism, and provide new evidence on the relationship between school inputs and educational outcomes. Grounded in the actual experiences of various states and school districts, the book provides a wealth of new information and provocative insights. Contributors argue that programs to hold schools accountable for student performance must be carefully designed to assure that schools are treated fairly; that vouchers, if used, should be directed toward low-income families; that resources do indeed matter—poor school districts may well require additional funding to increase student learning. In addition to the editor, the contributors include Charles T. Clotfelter, David K. Cohen, Richard F. Elmore, Ronald F. Ferguson, Susan H. Fuhrman, Eric A. Hanushek, Caroline Minter Hoxby, Richard J. Murnane, John F. Witte, and John McHenry Yinger.

Download or read book No Child Left Behind? written by Paul E. Peterson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2003-11-18 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2002 No Child Left Behind Act is the most important legislation in American education since the 1960s. The law requires states to put into place a set of standards together with a comprehensive testing plan designed to ensure these standards are met. Students at schools that fail to meet those standards may leave for other schools, and schools not progressing adequately become subject to reorganization. The significance of the law lies less with federal dollar contributions than with the direction it gives to federal, state, and local school spending. It helps codify the movement toward common standards and school accountability. Yet NCLB will not transform American schools overnight. The first scholarly assessment of the new legislation, No Child Left Behind? breaks new ground in the ongoing debate over accountability. Contributors examine the law's origins, the political and social forces that gave it shape, the potential issues that will surface with its implementation, and finally, the law's likely consequences for American education.
