Book excerpt: "We can't do that in our school district." "I don't have time to add that to my curriculum." "We're fighting against impossible odds with these students." Sound familiar? School improvement can often feel like a losing battle, but it doesn't have to be. In this fully revised and updated second edition of The Learning Leader, Douglas B. Reeves helps leadership teams go beyond excuses to capitalize on their strengths, reduce their weaknesses, and reset their mindset and priorities to achieve unprecedented success. A critical key is recognizing student achievement as more than just a set of test scores. Reeves asserts that when leaders focus exclusively on results, they fail to measure and understand the importance of their own actions. He offers an alternative—the Leadership for Learning Framework, which helps leaders identify and distinguish among four different types of educators and provide more effective, tailored support to - "Lucky" educators, who achieve high results but don't understand how their actions influence achievement. - "Losing" educators, who achieve low results yet keep doing the same thing, expecting different outcomes. - "Learning" educators, who have not yet achieved the desired results but are working their way toward excellence. - "Leading" educators, who achieve high results and understand how their actions influence their success. Reeves stresses that effective leadership is neither a unitary skill nor a solitary activity. The Learning Leader helps leaders reconceptualize their roles in the school improvement process and motivate themselves and their colleagues to keep working to better serve their students.

Download or read book An Examination of the Beliefs of Texas High School Principals on the Impact of Extracurricular Participation on Student Academic Performance written by Joseph L. Nolte and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the beliefs of high school principals in Texas on the impact extracurricular participation has on student academic performance. Specifically, feedback from high school principals was sought concerning 1) the significance extracurricular participation has on student academic performance; 2) the leadership efforts on their campus to promote extracurricular participation as a means to support student academic performance; 3) the quantity of extracurricular activities offered on their campus to meet the needs of all students that seek to participate; and 4)the attributes gleaned from participating in extracurricular activities that have the most positive impact on students. Research indicates that extracurricular activities, specifically involvement in sports, has been cited as an indication of higher grades, higher educational aspirations, more internal locus of control and a higher self-concept (Feigin, 1994). Research also claims school administrators have the ability to create and model school norms that cultivate and integrate extracurricular involvement while emphasizing the importance of individual academic achievement (George, 2012). Participants in this study included 173 Texas high school principals representing schools of varying student enrollments. A questionnaire with two questions was issued to the subjects seeking their beliefs on the impact extracurricular participation has on students. Ultimately, three findings ascended as productive results from this research. First, the responses revealed that the principals contributing to this study firmly agreed that extracurricular participation has a positive impact on students. Second, the results from this study showed that the school leaders that participated believe that students receive the greatest impact through extracurricular participation by the relationships those students build and from learning the importance of intangibles such as teamwork and commitment. Lastly, the feedback determined that the perceptions of the principals that participated in the study were generally consistent in their views on the impact extracurricular participation has on students, regardless of the enrollment size of the campus they lead. These three findings could have significance by expanding the body of knowledge related to the potential solutions extracurricular participation presents high school principals when they explore strategies to create support systems for students on their campus.

This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-University Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Pedagogy - General, grade: 1.0, , language: English, abstract: This study was undertaken to find out what are the common experiences of students in participating extra-curricular activities. Also this study aims to know on how students cope up the difficulties they’ve experienced while joining extra-curricular activities. Only fifteen selected students are involved in the research, thus we recommend that they must gather more respondents in order for them to generalize the views and experiences of the students for having an extra-curricular in school. Based on the data that we gathered from all of our respondents that are involved in extra-curricular activities, many of them share the same experiences regarding their participation on ECA. They gain experiences that positively affect them and can be used to improve and enhance not only their grades but their skills and their personality as a student and as a person. For all the students who have extra-curricular activities, researchers recommend that if they will involve to this kind of activity, they should balance their time management in order to not affect their academic performance. In addition, for students who wants to have extra-curricular activities, we recommend that they should prioritize their academics first before other things so that they could not suffer difficulties especially when it comes to projects, assignments and tests.

Book excerpt: Simon Kordonsky divides the social structure of contemporary Russia into distinct estates or social groups and describes each organization’s unique resource-based political and economic nature. As he guides readers through Russia’s peculiar service and support estate system, Kordonsky reveals how remarkably effective inventing and institutionalizing threats can be in the distribution of scarce resources in a social system of this kind. His book emphasizes the fundamental differences between resource-based economies and traditional risk-based economies and their role in Russia’s future.

Download or read book Mediational Pathways Between High School Extracurricular Participation and Young Adult Educational Attainment written by Roxanne Long and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Little is known about the mechanisms by which extracurricular participation in high school influences educational attainment in young adulthood. Also limited is an understanding of the different types of extracurricular participation and how various activities may manifest within the relationship. The purpose of this study was to examine the link between high school extracurricular participation and educational attainment, with social capital, parental expectations, and academic achievement presented as mediators. Additionally, the present study will explore socioeconomic differences in the proposed relationships. The sample consisted of 5,239 ninth through twelfth graders from the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health). Structural equation modeling (SEM) and multiple-group SEM were used to test pathways. Extracurricular participation was categorized into sports participation, non-sport participation, mixed participation (including both sport and non-sport), and no participation. Social capital, a latent factor, was measured by the latent variables of family and school capital. Various indicators of family closeness and inclusion of school culture from survey items operationalize social capital. Parental expectations, another latent factor, was measured by one survey indicator using the question of how disappointed would your resident father and mother be if you did not graduate from college. Academic achievement was measured by grade point average and calculated by the average of self-reported grades in four subjects: English, math, social studies, and science. Educational level attained used seven levels ranging from less than 8th grade to beyond a Bachelor degree. Gender, race, and parent education were also included as covariates. Social capital, parental expectations, and high school academic achievement were all shown to be mediators between high school extracurricular participation and educational attainment. However, social capital's impact on educational attainment was indirect through GPA rather than direct. Sport showed better capacity to strengthen social capital than non-sport. However, non-sport participants achieved higher high school GPA than sport participants. On average, students involved in both sport and non-sport activities had more positive effects on all model variables than students involved in sports only. Results for socioeconomic comparison showed some evidence for the benefit of sport participation directly on educational level for low-income students. Practically speaking, the conclusion of the study is that students need to participate in a combination of activities that include both sport and non-sport to improve their chances of educational attainment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This article reviews the contemporary literature on extracurricular activity participation, focusing on patterns of participation, academic achievement, substance abuse, psychological adjustment, and young adult outcomes. Throughout the article, many different groups are referenced to, with the majority of those surveyed from various middle and high schools around the country. The review indicated that the associations between extracurricular activity participation and these outcomes are mostly positive, with some limitations due to unmonitored and unmeasurable variables. Adolescents who participated in ECAs reported higher grades, more positive attitudes toward schools, and higher academic aspirations once demographic characteristics and prior adjustment were controlled. In contrast, results were examined with information related to participation in team sports were linked to positive educational trajectories and to high rates of involvement in risky behaviors. The author suggests application for information from this review as well as future research including discovering new methods for measuring activities and attitudes related toward student's attitude and their school experiences."--leaf 3.

This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This correlational study samples twelfth grade (senior) students in one central Midwest high school and examines their participation in credit-based transition programs and their changes in educational aspirations. Surveys and community college data are used to collect quantitative data to address six research questions. Using Hossler and Gallagher0́9s (1987) College Choice Model and Hossler and Stage0́9s (1992) focus on the predisposition phase, the researcher studied the impact of participation in credit-based transition programs during the senior year in high school. Controlling for initial senior-year aspirations and participation in dual credit during the junior-year in high school along with other variables known to influence educational aspirations, final senior-year aspirations were compared for students participating in academic dual credit and CTE dual credit, and non-participants. Descriptive analysis of student characteristics by type of dual credit participation and non-participation is presented. Multiple linear regression including interaction effects for gender and race/ethnicity with participation in senior-year dual credit (academic dual credit or CTE dual credit) was used to determine if aspirations could be changed during the senior year while controlling for student characteristics, significant others0́9 influence, and extracurricular activates. Results showed female students and non-white students benefit most from participating in senior-year CTE dual credit. Parents0́9 education was a significant variable in the model. Interaction terms for income status with participation in senior-year dual credit were not significant variables in the model. Results provide insights into the relationship of student participation in credit-based transition courses and student educational aspirations which is important to policy makers, education professionals, parents, and students.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extracurricular activities are gaining more attention from educators and policy makers, as they are considered a means to increase academic achievement as well as to provide social and emotional enrichment. Research focused on participation in these activities and its possible link to various labor market outcomes tests whether extracurricular activities support one of the basic goals of education: to prepare a skilled labor force. This study examines the implications of participating in extracurricular activities during high school for a very specific population: high school graduates who do not immediately enroll in any type of post secondary education after high school. Within this population, extracurricular participants and non-participants are compared, on their likelihoods of being employed the year after finishing high school. This relationship is subdivided by five types of extracurricular activities a student participated in, specifically: athletics, leadership, arts, clubs, and academics activities. Of the five activities studied in this paper, participation in leadership extracurriculars is associated with the highest likelihood of being employed directly after completing high school for among these students. Participation in athletic extracurricular activities is negatively related to being employed directly after graduation for these students.
