This book was released on 2009 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research sought to explore the link between mandatory school uniforms and a positive school climate. Beginning in the late 1980's public schools implemented mandatory school uniforms policies in urban school districts. The trend gained momentum when President Clinton included school uniforms in his 1996 State of the Union Address. Directly following the speech was a publication by the United States Department of Education on school uniforms that was distributed to all school districts in the country. Often the primary reason for implementing school uniforms was gang violence. Other reason included increased school safety and decreases in violence. Further, proponents believed uniforms would increase academic achievement and improve school climate. Research on the effects of school uniforms is limited and conflicting. Most studies available to date were conducted in urban settings. However, school uniforms have infiltrated rural and suburban schools districts as well. Two school districts in suburban Eastern Pennsylvania participated in this study. One school district had a mandatory school uniform policy. The other did not. Using a school climate survey and school uniform questionnaire, students in grades 4-6 and elementary school teachers rated the school climate in their respective schools. School climate was rated on seven subscales on the student school climate survey and 10 subscales on the faculty school climate survey. A t-test was performed on the data set to determine the difference between sample means and a factor analysis was conducted on the student school climate survey. Further, three themes emerged from the short answer questions on the student uniform questionnaire. The results of the research found that there was not a statistically significant relationship between a mandatory school uniform policy and elementary school students' perceptions of school climate. Of the seven subscales, students who wore school uniforms rated their peer relationships higher than students without school uniforms. Additionally, they rated the required rigor higher. Students that did not wear school uniforms rated the teacher-student relationship higher. When responding to the open ended questions, three themes emerged. They were expression, atmosphere and family. In essence, students were not in favor of wearing uniforms and believed uniforms suppressed their freedom of expression. Teachers responded similarly. The results showed no statistically significant relationship between a mandatory school uniform policy and teacher perceptions of school climate. Only two subscales showed any significant difference between the two groups of teachers. They were teacher-administrator relationship and student achievement. In both respects, teachers in the district without uniforms responded more positively. The results of this study should be used when reviewing current policy or considering new policy on school uniforms.

Download or read book Uniforms in Public Schools written by David L. Brunsma and published by R & L Education. This book was released on 2006 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to some of the nation's most prominent newspapers, politicians and educational administrators, and the evening news, there is absolutely nothing simplistic and straightforward about the current movement to uniform public school students in the United States. The debate over whether to require uniforms is highly controversial, undeniably complex, and, from the analyses and arguments presented in this book, unquestionably rooted in multifaceted social, political, legal, cultural, racial material, and educational structures. Much of the empirical research on school uniform policies' effectiveness has remained in dissertation and/or policy brief formats. This book provides an antidote to the ungrounded, anecdotal components that define the contemporary conversation regarding policies of standardized dress in American K-12 districts and schools. The contributors draw upon years of educational teaching and administrative experience, as well as research directed at objectively and empirically understanding the issue of school uniform policies elementary and middle schools. Uniforms in Public Schools is of the utmost importance for those who wish to be informed and insightful participants in the contemporary debate on school uniform policies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational reform, and to a lesser extent educational dissent, occupy a prominent place in the annals of U.S. education. Whether based on religious, cultural, social, philosophical, or pedagogical grounds, they are ever-present in our educational history. Although some reforms have been presented as a remedy for society′s ills, most programs were aimed toward practical transformation of the existing system to ensure that each child will have a better opportunity to succeed in U.S. society.

Book Synopsis School Uniforms by : David L. Brunsma
Download or read book School Uniforms written by David L. Brunsma and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 12 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The debate surrounding the effectiveness of school-uniform policies, as well as discussions concerning when and how to implement them, is rooted in anecdote. This review summarizes anecdotal literature on which the current debate is based and critically reviews the empirical literature, including theoretical underpinnings, findings, and suggestions. The anecdote-based literature relies on attitudes, personal experience, and hearsay, ignoring available research. Empirical literature includes small-scale studies of effects, such as case studies of schools that implemented mandatory school-uniform policies, and large-scale studies that compare nationally representative samples of students enrolled in schools implementing uniform policies with students enrolled in schools not implementing such policies on a variety of outcomes. Many methods used are flawed because different factors are not accounted for, such as design of uniform policies in different schools studies, and racial and socioeconomic status. Still, results of qualitative studies lay the groundwork for creating theories on uniform policy effectiveness and defining related issues requiring further research. These results will direct policymakers away from conjecture, emotion, anecdotes, and assumptions. One suggestion is that a uniform policy be part of a larger comprehensive plan that focuses on students' academic success. (Contains 31 endnotes, 14 references, and 18 resource Web sites.) (RT)
Book Synopsis An Exploratory Study of School Climate and Student Behavior in Thirteen Delaware Public Elementary Schools by : Jane N. Case
Download or read book An Exploratory Study of School Climate and Student Behavior in Thirteen Delaware Public Elementary Schools written by Jane N. Case and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current study examines indicators in 13 public elementary schools throughout the state of Delaware by using a mixed methods exploratory research design, in an effort to understand the dynamic relationship between school climate and the social, behavioral, and intellectual outcomes of 5 th grade students. Research indicators are consistently categorized and discussed in terms of the study's 4 dependent variables: student safety, student risk behavior, general school characteristics, and academic performance; and the study's 2 independent variables: dimensions of school climate and approaches to discipline. Findings suggest that within the sample population, more favorable school climate schools had low student to teacher ratios, favorable school climates as perceived by students, favorable student perceptions of peer relationships, and more favorable rates of student perceptions of school rule fairness and school safety. Statistically significant, direct correlations were observed between student responses to the statement "I feel safe in my school" and perceptions of rule fairness, students' liking of school, and student relationships. Further, unexpected positive correlations between gambling and student relations as well as between gambling and teacher/staff perceptions of school climate were observed. Positive, statistically significant correlations were observed between teacher education levels and students' perceptions of school climate, students' reports of liking school, students' perceptions of school safety, students' perceptions of student-teacher-home relations, teachers'/school staffs' perceptions of school climate, and homes' perceptions of school climate. The need to reveal the intricacies of establishing a constructive school climate and nurturing positive student outcomes remains. Once specifications of this interaction are better understood, policy initiatives can be enacted to better develop healthy environments in all schools. The greatest contributions of the study include a refined approach to understanding relationships between school climate and student outcomes, as well as to highlight the need for better approaches to collecting school climate data.

Download or read book Classroom Environment (RLE Edu O) written by Barry J Fraser and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-14 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The increasing impact of performance based judgments on schools and teachers in the classroom has its critics and supporters. Some oppose the trend and seek to deny the importance of quantitative measures. Others have sought to find ways of implementing educational measurement constructively and with understanding of the concerns. Classrooms are where the operational business of learning takes place and it is on the quality of life within the classroom that the broader process of learning, concerns for the wider community and others, is nurtured. The climate of the classroom has a large impact on the final outcome measure to which so much interest is directed. To help our understanding of the dynamics involved much work has been done in the development and refinement of quantitative studies to this area by studying essential information about how teachers and students perceive the environments in which the work. Research on classroom climates has reached a practical and theoretical maturity and this volume offers an account of the developments that have taken place and the potential for understanding the classroom as a vital component of the curriculum. This book will also be an essential resource tool for anyone engaged in classroom research.
Book Synopsis Staff and Student Perceptions of School Climate by : Chelsea McColley
Download or read book Staff and Student Perceptions of School Climate written by Chelsea McColley and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Positive school climates have been found to promote pro-social behaviors and increase students' academic achievement. School-wide Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports provides a framework and set of ideals for educators to create a positive school culture. The current study examined differences in staff and student perceptions, as well as perceptions in primary versus secondary buildings, related to several factors of school climate (rules and expectations, safety, student relationships, teacher-student relationships). Data was collected through staff and student ratings on the Delaware School Climate Surveys and the results were compared using a MANOVA. A significant interaction was found on the Rules and Expectations and the School Safety Scales. Ideas for teaching students appropriate behavior, using data to make decisions about building practices, and matching the level of support with the needs of the students were discussed.
Book Synopsis Context Matters by : Luba Falk Feigenberg

Book excerpt: In the second article, I report three findings about the effects of perception of school climate, school context, and culture on students' behavior in school. First, I found a negative relationship between students' perceptions of school climate and their reported school risk behavior. In other words, students who rated their overall school climate more positively also tended to engage in fewer risk behaviors in school. Second, the broader school context also plays a role in the way students perceive their school climate, such that the effect of a positive school climate was stronger for students in district schools as opposed to students in charter schools. Lastly, students' ethnicity also seemed to be a factor in the way they perceived climate as well as their behavior in school. The effect of a positive school climate on behavior was most pronounced for Latino and Black students in district schools.

Book Synopsis Assessing the Impact of School Discipline on School Climate in New York City Public Schools by : Andrew Scott Maisel
Download or read book Assessing the Impact of School Discipline on School Climate in New York City Public Schools written by Andrew Scott Maisel and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This proposed research will seek to understand the relationship between zero-tolerance school discipline policies, specifically out-of-school suspensions, and student perceptions of school climate in New York City (NYC) public schools. School climate is defined as the perceptions of students, teachers, and administrators of their school environment and is considered one of the key determinants of academic, social, and emotional success within a school. Using data from the NYC Annual School Survey and U.S. Department of Education Civil Rights and Ordinal Logit modeling, this paper will analyze the relationship between high discipline rates and the key school climate measures -- safety, communications, engagement, and academic expectations -- understood through student-level survey data. This proposed research will build off previous, less quantitatively rigorous analysis which found a negative relationship between suspensions and expulsions and perceptions of school climate.
