Book excerpt: Today’s high school student faces several complex experiences that impact his or her decision to stay in school. These factors, often a culmination of school events beginning in the elementary years, are correlated to a student’s likelihood of graduating from high school. Moreover, students with disabilities face additional factors that impact the likelihood of completing high school. Students with disabilities are less likely to earn a college degree, more likely to be underemployed or on public assistance, earn less income, and have higher rates of incarceration after leaving school. Not surprisingly, students with learning disabilities drop out at higher rates when compared to their non- disabled peers. This dissertation addresses the current state of the dropout phenomenon among students with learning disabilities. It examines the early school experiences that students with learning disabilities face in order to add qualitative data to the existing quantitative research that studies students with learning disabilities who drop out. This dissertation utilized a semi-structured interview protocol and a review of student and school records and solicited the input of eight study participants at one traditional high school in Southern California. Findings resulted in identifying four of the eight students as “At-risk” for school failure, and they were grouped accordingly. Students were asked questions related to their elementary, middle and high school experiences with relation to potential graduation outcomes. The Student Voice Theory guided the theoretical framework of this study. It was supported by a secondary framework, the Self Determination Theory, which guided the findings addressing the study sub-questions. The results of the study concluded with three major themes addressing the research question and two major themes addressing the sub-questions. Findings within the themes resulted in subthemes within the themes. Overwhelmingly, the study results indicated relational experiences as being paramount to a student’s success, or perceived success, in high school. Additional findings indicated that students found school transitions and peer relationships to be salient factors in their success. Students in the “At-risk” cohort identified additional factors, learning difficulties and negative school transitions, as being significant. Findings resulted in the need for a success model to address the prevalent factors necessary to ensure high school completion for students who are learning disabled, and for those who are at-risk for failure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role played by testing in the nation's public school system has been increasing steadily-and growing more complicated-for more than 20 years. The Committee on Educational Excellence and Testing Equity (CEETE) was formed to monitor the effects of education reform, particularly testing, on students at risk for academic failure because of poverty, lack of proficiency in English, disability, or membership in population subgroups that have been educationally disadvantaged. The committee recognizes the important potential benefits of standards-based reforms and of test results in revealing the impact of reform efforts on these students. The committee also recognizes the valuable role graduation tests can potentially play in making requirements concrete, in increasing the value of a diploma, and in motivating students and educators alike to work to higher standards. At the same time, educational testing is a complicated endeavor, that reality can fall far short of the model, and that testing cannot by itself provide the desired benefits. If testing is improperly used, it can have negative effects, such as encouraging school leaving, that can hit disadvantaged students hardest. The committee was concerned that the recent proliferation of high school exit examinations could have the unintended effect of increasing dropout rates among students whose rates are already far higher than the average, and has taken a close look at what is known about influences on dropout behavior and at the available data on dropouts and school completion.

Book Synopsis An Examination of the Relationship Between Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in General Education Classrooms and Student Success as Measured by Public School District Graduation Rates, Dropout Rates, and ACT Mathematics Performance by : Renee Anne Rudloff
Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Between Inclusion of Students with Disabilities in General Education Classrooms and Student Success as Measured by Public School District Graduation Rates, Dropout Rates, and ACT Mathematics Performance written by Renee Anne Rudloff and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The accountability of No Child Left Behind (NCLB, 2001) provided assurance that "all children (would) have a fair, equal, and significant opportunity to obtain a high quality education and reach, at a minimum, proficiency on challenging state academic achievement standards and state academic assessments" (Section 1001). According to research, subgroups such as students with disabilities have historically underperformed on state assessments (Darling-Hammond & Rustique-Forrester, 2005; Eckes & Swando, 2009). Measuring their progress holds the school district, teachers, and students accountable for the results, thereby raising expectations, improving teaching, and increasing learning. In Michigan, students seeking a standard diploma must meet rigorous curriculum standards, which include Algebra I and Algebra II (MDE-MMC, 2012). Additionally, Michigan public school students take a battery of state-mandated assessments, including the ACT in their 11th grade school year. To provide exposure to these courses, students with disabilities are placed in general education classrooms to receive the same instruction as their non-disabled peers (IDEIA, 2004). The term inclusion describes this arrangement, consistent with the terminology stated in Section 612(a) (5) (a) of IDEIA (2004). With graduation tied to rigorous curriculum requirements, high-stakes testing, and greater stipulations to receive a school diploma, engaging students with disabilities at the secondary level through inclusion has become a priority (Bost & Riccomini, 2006; Christenson, & Thurlow, 2004; Johnson, Stout, & Thurlow, 2009; Mastropieri & Scruggs, 2001; Thurlow & Johnson, 2000). The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the relationship between the percentage of time students with disabilities spend in general education classrooms and student success. Student success was measured by a school district's graduation rate, dropout rate, and ACT Mathematic mean score. The theoretical foundation for this study was Vygotsky's social development theory. A Pearson product-moment analysis was used to identify relationship(s) between the percentage of time students with disabilities spend in general education classrooms and the district's graduation rate, dropout rate, and ACT mathematic mean score. Additionally, a regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between the aggregate of factors representing Instructional Quality and the district's graduation rate, dropout rate, and ACT mathematic mean score. Finally, a paired t-test was used to determine if significant differences existed between 2006-2007 and 2010-2011 school years. The Pearson product-moment findings indicated that the percentage of time students with disabilities spend in general education classrooms had a positive relationship with a district's graduation rate and ACT mathematic mean score. Additionally, the regression findings indicated that a relationship exists between factors representing Instructional Quality and the district's graduation rate, dropout rate, and ACT mathematic mean score. The paired t-test found a significant difference in graduation rate, dropout rate, and ACT mathematic mean score between 2006-2007 and 2010-2011. The graduation rate decreased, dropout rate decreased, and ACT mathematic mean scores increased. The findings revealed that increasing the percentage of time students with disabilities spend in general education classrooms may result in higher ACT mathematic means and lower dropout rates. However, findings may also suggest that students with disabilities need more than four years to graduate with a standard diploma.
Book Synopsis Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities by : Meg Grigal
Download or read book Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities written by Meg Grigal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-07-16 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities provides effective strategies for navigating the transition process from high school into college for students with a wide range of disabilities. As students with disabilities attend two and four-year colleges in increasing numbers and through expanding access opportunities, challenges remain in helping these students and their families prepare for and successfully transition into higher education. Professionals and families supporting transition activities are often unaware of today’s new and rapidly developing options for postsecondary education. This practical guide offers user-friendly resources, including vignettes, research summaries, and hands-on activities that can be easily implemented in the classroom and in the community and that facilitate strong collaboration between schools and families. Preparation issues such as financial aid, applying for college, and other long-term planning areas are addressed in detail. An accompanying student resource section offers materials for high school students with disabilities that secondary educators, counselors, and transition personnel can use to facilitate exploration and planning discussions. Framing higher education as a possible transition goal for all students with disabilities, Navigating the Transition from High School to College for Students with Disabilities supports the postsecondary interests of more than four million public school students with disabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to motivating people to learn, disadvantaged urban adolescents are usually perceived as a hard sell. Yet, in a recent MetLife survey, 89 percent of the low-income students claimed "I really want to learn" applied to them. What is it about the school environmentâ€"pedagogy, curriculum, climate, organizationâ€"that encourages or discourages engagement in school activities? How do peers, family, and community affect adolescents' attitudes towards learning? Engaging Schools reviews current research on what shapes adolescents' school engagement and motivation to learnâ€"including new findings on students' sense of belongingâ€"and looks at ways these can be used to reform urban high schools. This book discusses what changes hold the greatest promise for increasing students' motivation to learn in these schools. It looks at various approaches to reform through different methods of instruction and assessment, adjustments in school size, vocational teaching, and other key areas. Examples of innovative schools, classrooms, and out-of-school programs that have proved successful in getting high school kids excited about learning are also included.
