Book excerpt: The 2006-2007 Annual Progress Report offers an overview of the way Reading First schools adjusted teacher practice and improved student achievement. The report examines the impact of the implementation of reading programs selected by Reading First schools on all students including different ethnic groups, economically disadvantaged students, English language learners, and special education students. The current report begins with a look at student demographics across three years of Reading First implementation in Nebraska followed by a detailed analysis of student achievement. The student achievement data is divided into sections based on funding round (Round I: schools who started implementation in Fall 2004; and Round II: schools who started implementation in Fall 2006). This is followed by a comparison of the student progress between the two rounds. Included in the section on Round I student achievement is an examination of student achievement based on school clusters. Clusters are used to group similar schools together and enable Reading First leadership and school administration to make valid comparisons. Given the significant differences between schools in size, proportion of minority, disadvantaged and special education students, it was clear that analyzing student achievement based on cluster membership would better allow educators to make instructional adjustments that meet the unique needs of students in their schools. Schools will be provided with the code letter specific to their school. The following are appended: (1) Schools by Clusters (Coded); and (2) Percent of Students At Grade Level By School (Coded). (Contains 5 tables and 81 figures.).

Download or read book Year Two of Implementation Nebraska Reading First. Annual Progress Report written by Guy Trainin and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 51 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report outlines the results of a two year implementation of the Nebraska's Reading First initiative. Over three thousand six hundred students from Kindergarten to Third grade were included in the project. Results indicated significant growth across all demographic groups. Student performance in the earlier grades has shown great promise for later years. Growth in fluency and comprehension in grades 2 and 3 were not as impressive and require additional attention. The assessment results were triangulated by observations in the classrooms, interviews, and teacher responses to professional development- teachers know how to teach Phonemic Awareness and the alphabetic principle but were still struggling with finding time and effective strategies for fluency, comprehension strategies, and self monitoring. Growing gaps for special education student, Ethnic minorities and English Learners suggest an emphasis on the secondary and tertiary levels of intervention in the schools. Appended is: Questions Asked in Interviews Used in Analysis. (Contains 25 figures and 11 tables.)

Download or read book Nebraska Reading First: Year Six of Implementation written by Guy Trainin and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reading First has been implemented in Nebraska since the 2004-5 academic year. In two rounds of funding and participation, schools have transformed the way they trained their teachers, measured student progress, and taught. This transformation is one of the hardest tasks in education and it has taken the considerable dedication of school personnel as well as dedicated leaders from the Nebraska Department of education. The program has seen great success in increasing the proportion of students acquiring basic literacy skills of phonemic awareness, decoding, and oral reading fluency. That initial success has led to an increase in outcomes even for comprehension and vocabulary areas that are much harder to remediate. It is clear, however, that a program such as Reading First has very clear limitations. That is beyond an initial improvement of 10-15% (by no means a trivial one) over the first 2 years of implementation, other gains are small and inconsistent. The program is able to "hold the line" even with large number of mobile students but not to go any further. This trend is reinforced if we look at the results of the Nebraska State Assessment in reading as presented in the table below. Nine schools are at or above the state average (if standard error is taken into account), while fifteen are significantly below state average. The reasons for schools success in meeting the established goals seem to be associated with two factors. The first factor is related to the students showing up at the schools door. For example state test scores show that there is a significant relationship between average district results and the percent of students who receive Free and Reduced Lunch (the correlation is -0.94). At the same time individual school results show that school leadership and instructional focus can overcome some of these challenges and make significant gains. Finally, school reform that is meaningful takes more than three four or even five years. Future efforts must be based on sustained efforts that research has shown to be effective in an average of seven years. (Contains 16 figures and 1 footnote.)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2008-2009 Annual Reading First Progress Report reflects on the final year of implementation for Round I schools and the third full year of implementation for Round II schools. This report focuses on the effect that Reading First implementation has had on selected schools across Nebraska with a special focus on vulnerable populations: English language learners, students of different ethnicities, special education students, and economically disadvantaged students. The report begins with a discussion of Nebraska Reading First student characteristics and how they have changed from last year. This section also discusses the treatment of clusters in Reading First evaluation, their characteristics, and the rationale for their use. The subsequent section is a longitudinal analysis of Reading First implementation. This section is divided into grade levels; within each grade, results are compared across clusters for valid comparison of like schools. It includes data on changes over the past five years for each grade in mean scores, risk levels, and finally achievement gaps for English language learners, economically disadvantaged students, and students of different ethnicities. Following this section is an analysis of teacher-based factors. First, the teacher surveys provide insight into the teachers' perception of Reading First implementation and efficacy. Next, the teacher logs offer a glimpse into a day of typical Reading First instruction. Finally, external evaluators' observations are discussed in terms of both teachers' in-class practices and teachers' reactions to Reading First. The last section is an overview the interviews that were conducted with Reading First coaches across the state. The discussion includes strengths and obstacles to Reading First implementation this year as distinct from previous years, as well as coaches' views on the sustainability of Reading First.

NCEE Evaluation Brief 2009-4054 written by Institute of Education Sciences (ED), National Center for Education Evaluation and Regional Assistance and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 created the Reading First program to help ensure that all students could read at or above grade level by the end of grade 3. The program promotes practices recommended by the National Reading Panel for early reading instruction, highlighting essential components of reading instruction. As required by the legislation, the Reading First impact study examined instruction and student reading outcomes in 248 schools (about half Reading First and half not) in 17 districts and 1 statewide program to address three main questions: (1) What is the impact of Reading First on student reading achievement? (2) What is the impact of Reading First on classroom instruction? and (3) What is the relationship between the degree of implementation of scientifically based reading instruction and student reading achievement? The study collected observational data on reading instruction in grades 1 and 2 and assessed student reading comprehension in grades 1 through 3 over three school years: 2004-05, 2005-06, and 2006-07. The study also assessed students' decoding skills in grade 1 and surveyed school personnel about their reading programs in spring 2007. Reading First was not found to improve student reading comprehension in grades 1, 2, or 3, although it did improve first graders' skills in decoding unfamiliar words. It also produced changes in instructional practices, including the amount of time spent on essential components of reading instruction and the amount of professional development in reading instruction. The analyses are considered exploratory because they are based on correlational analysis. The study was not designed to provide a rigorous test of these hypotheses, so the results must be considered as suggestive. (Contains 1 note and 2 figures.)

Book Synopsis Reciprocal Teaching at Work, 3rd Edition by : Lori D. Oczkus
Download or read book Reciprocal Teaching at Work, 3rd Edition written by Lori D. Oczkus and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2018-07-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this fully revised and expanded third edition of the bestselling Reciprocal Teaching at Work, Lori D. Oczkus provides both tried-and-true and fresh solutions for teaching reading comprehension. Reciprocal teaching is a scaffolded discussion technique that builds on the Fab Four strategies that good readers use to understand text: predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing. With a focus on these four evidence-based and classroom-tested strategies, Oczkus presents new ways to use reciprocal teaching to improve students' comprehension while actively engaging them in learning and encouraging independence. Appealing to students and teachers alike, reciprocal teaching encompasses social aspects of teaching and learning with modeling, think-alouds, and discussion. This helpful guide is packed with fresh material, including * More than 40 new and updated step-by-step lessons and minilessons that reflect current thinking and best practice. * Dozens of rich suggestions for diving into informational texts. * Updated research and relevant results that show the effectiveness of reciprocal teaching. * Creative and targeted tips that capitalize on the specific benefits of whole-class settings, guided reading groups, and literature circles. * Ideas for differentiating instruction for struggling readers and English language learners. * New and newly designed support materials, including reproducibles, posters, bookmarks, and a lesson planning menu. With a wealth of ideas to get you started—and keep you going—this is the all-inclusive resource you need to help students become active, engaged, and independent readers who truly comprehend what they read. Reviews and Testimonials "Literacy coach and author Lori Oczkus knows how to take the best of what works from long-established research and showcase it to make teaching and learning more effective, engaging, and enjoyable. In her latest edition of Reciprocal Teaching at Work, she demonstrates how to scaffold instruction so that all K–12 students can benefit from reciprocal teaching techniques, what she calls the "Fab Four"—predicting, questioning, clarifying, and summarizing—in whole-group, guided reading, and book club settings, for both fiction and informational texts. In clearly delineated lessons and minilessons, Lori deftly shares how to support students' learning, including English language learners and students who struggle, so they can successfully apply and monitor those four discussion strategies—as well as troubleshoot problems—to yield significant progress in their reading comprehension. Filled with great practical ideas, this gem of a book is a must-have for all literacy educators!" —Regie Routman, author of Read, Write, Lead; Literacy Essentials, and Reading Essentials "Reciprocal teaching works to push students into deeper learning. There are decades of research on the impact of this instructional approach, and this book shows you how to implement and refine the practice such that all students succeed." —Doug Fisher, author of Checking for Understanding and Visible Learning for Literacy "One of the great instructional research discoveries of the past three decades has been the efficacy of reciprocal teaching for improving student learning and reading comprehension. More than anyone, Lori Oczkus has explored practical ways for making reciprocal teaching an integral part of nearly any classroom setting. This current work by Lori represents the epitome of her work in translating reciprocal teaching research into practice. Readers will find this immensely readable book filled with strategies that can be easily implemented and that will improve student learning. If you are interested in improving your students' reading achievement, you need to read this book!" —Timothy Rasinski, author of The Fluent Reader and Close Reading with Paired Texts "In this new edition of Reciprocal Teaching at Work, Lori Oczkus offers new thinking while reinforcing the best practices that make her ideas timeless. Through these engaging lessons and smart instructional moves, you will empower your students to build the confidence and competence they need to become strong, independent readers." —Donalyn Miller, author of The Book Whisperer "On every page of this book, in every activity and plan, the voice of a gifted and empowering teacher inspires the reader. In a major revision of her classic work, Lori Oczkus engages the immediacy and demands of today's classrooms with the most robust constellation of strategies for teaching comprehension. She compellingly demonstrates how the "Fab Four" are engaged across the grades, and she powerfully scaffolds, supports, and reassures teachers in their efforts to incorporate reciprocal teaching across a broad communication, textual, and digital terrain." —Shane Templeton, Foundation Professor Emeritus of Literacy Studies University of Nevada, Reno, NV
Book Synopsis Handbook of Special Education by : James M. Kauffman
Download or read book Handbook of Special Education written by James M. Kauffman and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011-05-15 with total page 807 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special education is now an established part of public education in the United States—by law and by custom. However, it is still widely misunderstood and continues to be dogged by controversies related to such things as categorization, grouping, assessment, placement, funding, instruction, and a variety of legal issues. The purpose of this 13-part, 57-chapter handbook is to help profile and bring greater clarity to this sprawling and growing field. To ensure consistency across the volume, chapter authors review and integrate existing research, identify strengths and weaknesses, note gaps in the literature, and discuss implications for practice and future research. Key features include: Comprehensive Coverage—Fifty-seven chapters cover all aspects of special education in the United States including cultural and international comparisons. Issues & Trends—In addition to synthesizing empirical findings and providing a critical analysis of the status and direction of current research, chapter authors discuss issues related to practice and reflect on trends in thinking. Categorical Chapters—In order to provide a comprehensive and comparative treatment of the twelve categorical chapters in section IV, chapter authors were asked to follow a consistent outline: Definition, Causal Factors, Identification, Behavioral Characteristics, Assessment, Educational Programming, and Trends and Issues. Expertise—Edited by two of the most accomplished scholars in special education, chapter authors include a carefully chosen mixture of established and rising young stars in the field. This book is an appropriate reference volume for anyone (researchers, scholars, graduate students, practitioners, policy makers, and parents) interested in the state of special education today: its research base, current issues and practices, and future trends. It is also appropriate as a textbook for graduate level courses in special education.
