Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concurrent enrollment programs offer high-achieving high school students the opportunity to take college credit-bearing courses taught by college-approved high school teachers. This low-cost, scalable model brings accelerated coursework to urban, suburban, and rural students. In this book, scholars explore the function of concurrent enrollment programs in addressing the gap between high school preparation and readiness for the academic and social demands of college. Experts in the education field map out the foundation for programs offering concurrent enrollment courses, including best practices and necessary elements for a sustainable, viable program that contributes to student success in higher education. Providing research-based evidence of the overwhelming benefits of such partnerships between high schools and colleges, this book is a vital tool for all educators considering adopting a concurrent enrollment program.

Download or read book Educational Effectiveness and Ineffectiveness written by Jaap Scheerens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-20 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a critical assessment of the knowledge base on educational effectiveness, covering a period of five decades of research. It formulates a “lean” theory of good schooling, and identifies and explains instances of “ineffectiveness”, such as low effect sizes of malleable conditions, for which expectations are highly strung. The book presents a systemic outlook on educational effectiveness and improvement, as it starts out from an integrated multi-level model that comprises system level, school level and instructional conditions. It offers a classification of school improvement strategies and scenarios for system level educational improvement. Above all, the analysis is very systematic, comprehensive and strongly grounded in theory. The book includes a case study analysis of various strands of improvement-oriented educational policy in the Netherlands as an illustration of some of the arguments used.

Download or read book Continuous Improvement in High Schools written by Martha Abele Mac Iver and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2022-10-18 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Continuous Improvement in High Schools gives educators and policymakers an accessible, actionable framework to address one of the nation's most important educational priorities: improving high school graduation and postsecondary preparedness rates. Martha Abele Mac Iver and Robert Balfanz, national experts in dropout prevention, apply the Carnegie Foundation’s continuous improvement framework to the issue of student success in high school, starting with the critical ninth-grade year. A proven tool for organizational change, the framework provides a systematic structure for examining the root causes of problems and testing possible solutions. Mac Iver and Balfanz draw on their decades of experience working with educators and their deep knowledge of challenges faced by high schools to customize the framework to the high school context. They model the use of improvement science principles such as establishing practical measures, conducting disciplined inquiry, and accelerating learning through networked communities. With real-world examples and ideas for change, the authors show how attention to five key areas can enrich student educational experience and improve high school outcomes. These areas are early warning and intervention systems; family engagement; students’ sense of connectedness to school; social, emotional, and academic development; and teacher instructional practices. The guidance offered in this useful work will enable educators and their collaborating partners to create their own powerful solutions for student success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When trying to solve the problems of education, critics most often look at curriculum content and teaching techniques, rather than at the environments in which students learn. Yet these learning environments have an important impact on student achievement. This book reviews the existing literature and knowledge about school environments as it relates to educational effectiveness and student achievement. The authors then integrate the material into a simple, yet inclusive, conceptual framework that is useful for policymakers, practitioners and researchers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One civil rights-era law has reshaped American society—and contributed to the country's ongoing culture wars Few laws have had such far-reaching impact as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Intended to give girls and women greater access to sports programs and other courses of study in schools and colleges, the law has since been used by judges and agencies to expand a wide range of antidiscrimination policies—most recently the Obama administration’s 2016 mandates on sexual harassment and transgender rights. In this comprehensive review of how Title IX has been implemented, Boston College political science professor R. Shep Melnick analyzes how interpretations of "equal educational opportunity" have changed over the years. In terms accessible to non-lawyers, Melnick examines how Title IX has become a central part of legal and political campaigns to correct gender stereotypes, not only in academic settings but in society at large. Title IX thus has become a major factor in America's culture wars—and almost certainly will remain so for years to come.

Download or read book Keeping College Affordable written by Michael S. McPherson and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As Congress debates the reauthorization of the basic federal student aid legislation, and as governors and state legislators cope with increasingly severe budgetary problems of their own, the issues of preserving college opportunity and sharing the burden of college costs are particularly critical and timely. This book assesses the role of government subsidies for higher education—especially but not exclusively federal student aid—in keeping college affordable for Americans of all economic and social backgrounds. The authors examine the effects of student aid policies of the last twenty years. They address several vital questions, including: Has federal student aid encouraged the enrollment and broadened the educational choices of disadvantaged students? Has it made higher education institutions more secure and educationally more effective—or has it raised costs and prices as schools try to capture additional aid? Has federal student aid made the distribution of higher education's benefits, and the sharing of costs, fairer? And what are the likely trends in patterns of college affordability? Drawing on their analysis, the authors highlight some of the principal dimensions of policy choice on which the debate has focused, as well as some that have been relatively neglected. Building upon their conclusion that student aid works, they propose reforms that would bolster the role of income-tested aid in the overall student financing picture. McPherson and Schapiro recommend a number of incremental reforms that could improve the effectiveness of existing federal aid programs and present a proposal to replace a substantial fraction of state-operating subsidies to colleges and universities with expanded federal aid.

Download or read book Factors of Educational Effectiveness (EE) written by and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As major shifts in the U.S. population continue, Latinos have become the largest minority group. However, their expanding presence in U.S. schools has not translated into greater degree attainment in higher education. One educational concern that should be addressed is the lack of access to higher-level mathematics courses due to underperformance in algebra, an academic achievement gatekeeper. This mixed-methods case-study dissertation tested the Dynamic Model of Educational Effectiveness (DMEE) (Kyriakides & Creemers, 2008) in a high performing Hispanic middle and high school and compared school-wide factors to the High Performing Hispanic Student framework (Reyes, Scribner, and Paredes-Scribner, 1999). While the factorial and regression analyses of the pretests, posttest, and survey responses of 212 student participants provided classroom factors that correlated to math achievement, the interview responses from four school administrators and analysis of the Single Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) provided a deeper examination of school wide practices that contribute to the success of the schools. There were multiple key findings within this study. The first finding was expected, students showed growth in their mathematics learning. The factorial and regression analyses indicated that there are multiple factors that correlate to mathematics student achievement at the student and classroom level factors: aptitude, language and environment peer relationships. The analysis of the interviews and SPSA provided a school wide view of the practices that are related to the HPHS framework. One key finding was that both schools were at the continual and sustaining practice level within two themes of the framework: community and family involvement, and collaborative governance and leaderships. Most of the practices that were examples of the two themes involved relationship building amongst staff, students, and families. The study's findings suggest the combination of multiple factors have an important impact on student achievement. In addition, the findings indicate that language is a more influential factor in mathematics achievement than previously thought. Several policy implications are made including the potential benefits of using the HPHS rubric as a tool for Professional Learning Communities to self-evaluate their practices.

Download or read book Research on Exemplary Schools written by Gilbert R. Austin and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2014-05-10 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research on Exemplary Schools covers significant research works on effective school learning, with particular emphasis on identifying and analyzing a student's abilities and characteristics on the assumption that student learning was primarily determined by differences in individual potential and needs. The information provided is derived from the assumption that the characteristics of the school learning environment may explain the extent to which students master the outcomes desired from the school teaching-learning experience. This text is organized into three parts encompassing 10 chapters. Part I reviews the history of the exemplary schools research movements and the research findings, as well as policy implications concerning the relationships between private and public schools education, both Catholic and nonsectarian. Part II describes the methods for identifying exemplary schools, school climate, and the roles of the teacher and the school principal. Part III describes the policy issues emerging from effective schools research. This part also provide some critical thoughts on the movement from the perspective of an educational psychologist whose specialties are educational measurement and instructional design. This book will prove useful to researchers and practitioners who wish to improve the outcomes of all students in their schools.
