This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study whose purpose was to determine if the practice of classroom looping (where a teacher moves with a class from one grade to the next, while the teacher previously teaching the higher class cycles to pick up a new class) affected the academic achievement scores at a Minnesota inner-city elementary school. Reading and math academic achievement score comparisons were used, based on the Stanford Achievement Test Series 10 (SAT10). The target population consisted of 38 students from looping classrooms at School A, and 33 students from non-looping classrooms at School B. Looping students had been with the same teacher for two consecutive years. Non-looping students, in traditional one-year classrooms, had attended School B for two years. Fifth-grade examination scores from the spring of 2005 were compared with gains made on the sixth-grade examination scores from the spring of 2006. Academic progress in reading and math was measured for these students through causal-comparative regression analysis. The results of this study indicated no statistically significant academic difference in reading levels between looping and non-looping students. Because of the small sample size, a Type II error may be a possibility; a longer and larger study would need to determine the accuracy of these results. The study's results did, however, indicate a statistically significant academic difference in math gain scores between looping and non-looping students.

Download or read book Is Looping Viewed as Academically Beneficial in the Elementary School Years? written by Kathy Denise Schwickert and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The practice ofhaving teachers and students remain together for a period of two or more years is known as looping, multiyear teaching, or student-teacher progression. Looping is different from multi age, the practice of multiple ages grouped together from two different grade levels. Literature suggests that looping is an effective strategy to improve learning and spend less time on getting to know one another the second year. Teachers are able to get to know each student individually and create a "family style" classroom learning environment. This is a descriptive study of the practice oflooping in a Southern California school district as studied by a veteran looping elementary school teacher. Although this study and other similar research indicate generally favorable outcomes of looping, the actual rate of implementation of the practice at this particular school site, as well as throughout the school district is relatively low. Primary impediments to broaden use of looping were enrollment management and staffing issues. This study includes recommendations for the district to consider and hypotheses that should be tested further, in an in-depth study.

Book excerpt: Looping is an instructional design whereby students progress to the next grade level with the same teacher(s) for two or more years. This book was designed to help teachers and administrators explore, implement, and evaluate looping programs. The book is divided into four parts. Part 1, "Exploring Looping Configurations," identifies the primary components of looping, the reasons for its implementation, and the kinds of instructional practices commonly associated with it. Part 2, "Implementing Looping Configurations," provides guidelines for steps to consider when planning instruction. Part 3, "Evaluating Looping Configurations," presents tips for establishing an evaluation process for a looping instructional design and clarifies which elements need evaluation and how results should be shared, used, and reported. Part 4, "Support Pages," directs readers to specific resources for obtaining additional information regarding specific topics concerning the looping classroom and includes reproducible forms and sample surveys, letters, questionnaires, and charts.

Download or read book Increasing Academic Achievment Through Looping written by Doris Lavona Sterling and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Looping is the practice of a teacher staying with the same group of students for two or more years. This thesis examines the effect looping has on the academic achievement of students who participate in a three-year, grade four though six loop. An overview provides both historical and international backgrounds. This is followed by a summary of the literature focusing on the impacts looping has on parents, teachers, and students. Research was conducted at one elementary school with one class that had looped and one class that had not. The looping class included 27 out of a class of 34 students who had looped. The non-looping class consisted in 30 out of 33 students who had been together as students, but had had a different teacher each year. Research method consisted in the collection of standardized test data for both classes. A t-test for independent mean was applied to both math and English language arts data for both groups whole classes as well as disaggregated by gender and second-language learner status. The results of data analysis showed a recurrent theme of increased academic achievement in both math and English language arts for the looping group.

Book excerpt: The Feedback Loop describes a process by which you design formative assessments of what you do and collect a variety of forms of data. Then, the book shows you ways to actually use the information to improve your teaching. Written by veteran classroom teachers, the guide offers practical ideas for middle and high school teachers, regardless of discipline. The first chapters introduce the Feedback Loop framework; highlight the four elements of goals, tools, data, and inferences; and explore how to close the loop by connecting inferences and goals through feedback. Later chapters show how to use the full loop to inform your instruction. The book supports the Next Generation Science Standards and includes classroom vignettes that ground the ideas in real-life situations.

Book excerpt: "Joe Feldman shows us how we can use grading to help students become the leaders of their own learning and lift the veil on how to succeed. . . . This must-have book will help teachers learn to implement improved, equity-focused grading for impact." —Zaretta Hammond, Author of Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain Crack open the grading conversation Here at last—and none too soon—is a resource that delivers the research base, tools, and courage to tackle one of the most challenging and emotionally charged conversations in today’s schools: our inconsistent grading practices and the ways they can inadvertently perpetuate the achievement and opportunity gaps among our students. With Grading for Equity, Joe Feldman cuts to the core of the conversation, revealing how grading practices that are accurate, bias-resistant, and motivational will improve learning, minimize grade inflation, reduce failure rates, and become a lever for creating stronger teacher-student relationships and more caring classrooms. Essential reading for schoolwide and individual book study or for student advocates, Grading for Equity provides A critical historical backdrop, describing how our inherited system of grading was originally set up as a sorting mechanism to provide or deny opportunity, control students, and endorse a "fixed mindset" about students’ academic potential—practices that are still in place a century later A summary of the research on motivation and equitable teaching and learning, establishing a rock-solid foundation and a "true north" orientation toward equitable grading practices Specific grading practices that are more equitable, along with teacher examples, strategies to solve common hiccups and concerns, and evidence of effectiveness Reflection tools for facilitating individual or group engagement and understanding As Joe writes, "Grading practices are a mirror not just for students, but for us as their teachers." Each one of us should start by asking, "What do my grading practices say about who I am and what I believe?" Then, let’s make the choice to do things differently . . . with Grading for Equity as a dog-eared reference.

This book was released on 2002 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the academic achievement of students in looping programs from school systems in East Tennessee to their peers in traditional one-year instructional programs. Looping is defined as any program design that perpetuates a cohesive student group with the same teacher for more than one year. The study included all students who had completed fourth grade in 2001 at every school in East Tennessee that implemented a third/fourth grade looping design. Student scores reported for 1999, 2000, and 2001 on the TerraNova Standardized Achievement Test were obtained from individual student records. Comparisons were made on the Total Reading, Total Language, Total Math, and Total Battery scores. Differences between program design groups (looping and traditional) on "pre-looping" second grade (1999) scores were assessed using t-tests for two independent groups. Two-way Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), was used to examine the main effects of program design and student gender on 2000 and 2001 test scores, along with program design x gender interactions, while controlling for prior test score differences. The findings suggested that students in looping classrooms benefited academically by remaining with the same teacher and classmates for two successive years. Significant main effects were detected for program design in first year comparisons, as indicated by significantly higher scores on all four subtests. Scores for those in the looping classrooms remained significantly higher in second year comparisons on each subtest, except Total Language, even after controlling for third grade (2000) test scores. Significant main effects for gender were detected after the first year of participation in each design. This included significantly higher Total Language and Total Battery scores for female participants. No significant differences by gender were detected when scores were compared on the four subtests at the end of the two-year cycle. A program design x gender interaction was detected at the end of the first year. This interaction showed that female participants in looping classrooms showed higher Total Math achievement. A program design x gender interaction also occurred after the second year where male participants in the looping classrooms obtained higher Total Language scores.

Book excerpt: The untold story of the root cause of America's education crisis--and the seemingly endless cycle of multigenerational poverty. It was only after years within the education reform movement that Natalie Wexler stumbled across a hidden explanation for our country's frustrating lack of progress when it comes to providing every child with a quality education. The problem wasn't one of the usual scapegoats: lazy teachers, shoddy facilities, lack of accountability. It was something no one was talking about: the elementary school curriculum's intense focus on decontextualized reading comprehension "skills" at the expense of actual knowledge. In the tradition of Dale Russakoff's The Prize and Dana Goldstein's The Teacher Wars, Wexler brings together history, research, and compelling characters to pull back the curtain on this fundamental flaw in our education system--one that fellow reformers, journalists, and policymakers have long overlooked, and of which the general public, including many parents, remains unaware. But The Knowledge Gap isn't just a story of what schools have gotten so wrong--it also follows innovative educators who are in the process of shedding their deeply ingrained habits, and describes the rewards that have come along: students who are not only excited to learn but are also acquiring the knowledge and vocabulary that will enable them to succeed. If we truly want to fix our education system and unlock the potential of our neediest children, we have no choice but to pay attention.
