Download or read book Factors that Influence the Decision of Rural High School Students with Learning Disabilities to Attend Postsecondary Education written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify the factors that influence the decision of rural high school students identified as having learning disabilities to attend postsecondary institutions. Currently, students with a learning disability represent the largest single category of all students identified with disabilities and they also represent the largest proportion of students with disabilities who choose to attend postsecondary education. The U.S. National Council on Disabilities reports that students with disabilities in higher education represent nearly 11% of all university students compared to 89% of non-disabled peers. Moreover, less than one half of students with disabilities have indicated a desire to attend postsecondary education after high school. Evidence indicates that students from rural communities attend postsecondary education at lower rates compared to their urban and suburban peers. Research suggests that students who attend postsecondary institutions have higher levels of economic and occupational success. Prolific research has addressed the contributing factors that lead to postsecondary attendance by students with disabilities in general however, little is known about how the same factors compare specifically to students with learning disabilities from rural communities. This study explored the question: "What factors contribute to the decision of rural students with learning disabilities to attend postsecondary educational institutions?" The study employed a decision-making conceptual framework. Using a mixed methods research design, 36 surveys and 12 interviews were conducted with students with learning disabilities from rural midwestern schools regarding their postsecondary decisions. The findings from the study suggests that students with disabilities are tangentially involved in the transition process and that previously identified factors which contribute to the decision to attend postsecondary education are generally confirmed with a rural student population. However, deeper levels of participation by students, families and staff need to be promulgated to ensure that postsecondary options for students with learning disabilities are seriously considered and explored. Leadership by administrative staff is necessary to facilitate this process.

Download or read book Postsecondary Education Expectations and Attainment of Rural and Nonrural Students. Stated Briefly. REL 2017-233 written by Ayrin Molefe and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined rural-nonrural differences in postsecondary educational expectations and the attainment of expectations for grade 10 students attending rural and nonrural high schools in the Regional Educational Laboratory (REL) Midwest region and how these differences compare with rural-nonrural differences in the rest of the nation. For grade 10 students who indicated that they did not anticipate attaining more than a high school education, the study also examined rural and nonrural students' reasons for not expecting to continue their education past the secondary level. Analyses drew on data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 using descriptive statistics, chi-squared tests of association, and multinomial regression models with students nested in schools. The baseline model included only school locale, an indicator for region, and their interaction as predictors; subsequent models added student predictors, family characteristics, teacher expectations, and school contextual variables. Analyses reveal that rural students in the Midwest had lower educational expectations than their nonrural peers, yet similar levels of educational attainment after taking into account student, family, teacher, and school characteristics. For two-thirds of rural and nonrural students, educational attainment fell short of expectations. Importantly, participation in rigorous coursework, parent aspirations, and teacher expectations were more predictive of educational expectations and attainment than whether students grew up in rural areas in grade 10 in 2002. For grade 10 students who did not expect to go to college, both rural and nonrural students perceived financial barriers as the primary reason. Policymakers and other stakeholders in Midwestern states and the rest of the nation can use the results of this study to inform efforts to improve the educational attainment of rural students.

Book excerpt: Published with a new preface, this innovative case study from Nova Scotia analyzes the relationship between rural communities and contemporary education. Rather than supporting place-sensitive curricula and establishing networks within community populations, the rural school has too often stood apart from local life, with the generally unintended consequence that many educationally successful rural youth come to see their communities and lifestyles as places to be left behind. They face what Michael Corbett calls a mobility imperative, which, he shows, has been central to contemporary schooling. Learning to Leave argues that if education is to be democratic and serve the purpose of economic, social, and cultural development, then it must adapt and respond to the specificity of its locale, the knowledge practices of the people, and the needs of those who struggle to remain in challenged rural places.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The past three decades has seen an increase in the number of students with learning disabilities (LD) entering postsecondary education. Unfortunately, a large percentage of these students encounter difficulties making this transition. This thesis identifies potential barriers to the transitioning to postsecondary education for students with LD. Discussion focuses on the characteristics of students with LD, disability legislation, and the significance of transition services and postsecondary education. Professional application for special and general education teachers, administrators, and school counselors is delineated, with the primary emphasis involving more varied and extensive postsecondary preparation. Suggestions include using assistive technology to develop study skills in secondary schools, and helping those with LD secure appropriate accommodations for postsecondary studies."--leaf 4.

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: This first-of-its-kind textbook surveys rehabilitation and vocational programs aiding persons with disabilities in remote and developing areas in the U.S. and abroad. Contributors discuss longstanding challenges to these communities, most notably economic and environmental obstacles and ongoing barriers to service delivery, as well as their resilience and strengths. Intersections of health, social, structural, and access disparities are shown affecting rural disabled populations such as women, racial and sexual minorities, youth, and elders. In terms of responses, a comprehensive array of healthcare and health policy solutions and recommendations is critiqued with regard to health, employment, and service effectiveness outcomes. Included among the topics: Healthcare initiatives, strategies, and challenges for people with disabilities in rural, frontier, and territory settings. Challenges faced by veterans residing in rural communities. The Asia and Pacific region: rural-urban impact on disability. Challenges after natural disaster for rural residents with disabilities. Meeting the needs of rural adults with mental illness and dual diagnoses. Capacity building in rural communities through community-based collaborative partnerships. Disability and Vocational Rehabilitation in Rural Settings makes a worthy textbook for graduate students and upper-level undergraduates in the fields of social work, community and environmental psychology, public health, sociology, education, and geography. Its professional audience also includes vocational rehabilitation counselors serving these dynamic populations.
