Book excerpt: Elementary third and fourth grade classrooms were found to be primarily structured in two configurations. Self-contained classrooms are structured with one teacher teaching all academic subjects to his or her students and departmentalized classrooms are structured with two teachers teaching a portion of the academic subjects to two classrooms. These structures were found to coexist in one large urban district with whole schools operating under the self-contained structure or departmentalized structure. A review of the literature found that proponents of each of these structures have existed in American schools for more than seventy years and support for each has been sustained. Utilizing ex post facto research methodology, this quantitative study gathered benchmark and state testing data in mathematics and science to identify patterns in achievement based on classroom structures. Data were analyzed utilizing factors of gender, ethnicity, and program participation in English as a second language (ESL), bilingual, and gifted and talented (GT) programs. It was found that students in fourth grade performed significantly better in departmentalized classrooms for mathematics, third grade bilingual students performed significantly better in departmentalized classrooms for mathematics, fourth grade female ESL and bilingual students performed significantly better in self-contained classrooms for mathematics, and fourth grade bilingual students performed significantly better on one science assessment in self-contained instructional settings.

Book excerpt: Elementary school teachers and principals are endowed with the significant challenge of caring for students' emotional, physical, and academic needs. In order for school leaders to be successful, they often pursue best educational practices that yield great support for students. The purpose of this study was to determine if there was a difference in the classroom learning environment, administrators' gratification, and teachers' satisfaction with departmentalization and self-contained classrooms for third and fourth grade students. The data and insights in this study were analyzed to compare the two classroom organizational structures. An analysis of the findings indicated the classroom-learning environment, administrators, and teacher satisfactions were inconclusive classroom.

Book excerpt: Determining the ideal academic setting in which students can be successful continues to be one of the primary goals of educators. Is there a best classroom structure in which students can be successful? Although there is research on the academic gains in the block schedule and in traditional departmentalized settings, both of which are common in secondary schools, there is little research on the effectiveness of a high school self-contained classroom. Rarely do "high school" and "self-contained classroom" appear together. Although the research on the effectiveness of self-contained classrooms is minimal, it is significant. One study done by McGrath and Rust (2002) of fifth and sixth graders in departmentalized and self-contained classrooms found that students in self-contained classrooms made significant gains on the Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program (TCAP) in the total battery and language and science subtests. However there were no significant differences in the math, reading and social studies subtests (Catledge-Howard, Ward, Dilworth, & Mississippi State University, 2003; McGrath & Rust, 2002). According to Piirto and Kolloff, students who have been identified as gifted and are in self-contained settings, score higher in this environment than when they are not. Both report that it may be because students are able to be themselves without fear of the social implications associated with their giftedness (Piirto, 2004). (Contains 5 online resources.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elementary mathematics specialists are teacher leaders who are responsible for supporting effective PK–6 mathematics instruction and student learning. The Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators (AMTE), the Association of State Supervisors of Mathematics, the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, in a 2010 joint position paper on Elementary Mathematics Specialists (EMSs), all advocate for the use of EMSs to support the teaching and learning of mathematics. The specific roles and expectations of EMSs will vary according to the needs of each setting, “but their expertise and successful experience at the elementary level is critical” (p 1). Elementary Mathematics Specialists: Developing, Refining, and Examining Programs that Support Mathematics Teaching and Learning is AMTE’s latest resource supporting the important work of EMSs. It has five sections related to the preparation and professional development of EMSs: (a) Overview and Current State of Affairs; (b) Models of EMS Program Development & Delivery; (c) Supporting EMSs in the Field; (d) The Mathematics Specialist Research; and (e) Future Directions. The book provides support to EMS practitioners, program providers/developers, and researchers seeking to answer important questions about how to prepare Mathematics Specialists, support them in the field, and research their effectiveness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenting a compelling case for changing our system of education from a graded, curriculum-centered approach to a multiage, child-centered approach, Understanding Multiage Education is a comprehensive exploration of the philosophy and foundations of multiage education. Veteran educators Stone and Burriss examine the "why" of multiage education, exploring how multiage classrooms' structure, environment, strategies, and assessments unfold and complement the multiage philosophy and pedagogy. Delineating the differences between a standard and a mixed-age approach, each chapter features Inside Insights, short vignettes, case studies, examples of multiage in practice and discussion questions challenging readers to engage with the core concepts and examine how we might define success in a multiage classroom. Designed for graduate-level students of early childhood, elementary, and general education courses, as well as experienced practitioners, this is an essential guide for anyone interested in understanding the rationale, implementation, and benefits of multiage education.

Download or read book Self-contained Versus Departmentalized School Organization and the Impact on Fourth and Fifth Grade Student Achievement in Reading and Mathematics as Determined by the Kentucky Core Content Test written by Kimberly Penn Kent and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary purpose of this study was to determine if there was a difference between self-contained and departmentalized classroom organization on the Kentucky Core Content Test (KCCT) in reading and mathematics for students in fourth and fifth grade. A secondary purpose of this study was to consider how these organizational structures affect the KCCT scores in regard to gender, ethnicity, and socio-economic status of the students from which scores were obtained. The results of this study will provide necessary information to educational decision-makers. The review of literature, as presented in Chapter Two, indicates that few current empirical studies have been done in the area of school organization. This study will help fill the gap of research in the area of the impact on student achievement in self-contained and departmentalized school organization. The population for this project included fourth and fifth grade students from eight public elementary schools in one urban school district within the state of Kentucky. Within this district there were 88 elementary schools. The schools included in this study were selected by the researcher, because four offered a self-contained school organization and the other four offered a departmentalized school design. The data was analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), and through Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM). Analysis of the descriptive statistics showed the two groups (self-contained and departmentalized) of schools to be similar. Random effects ANOVA, intra-class correlation, and multiple regression were used to examine both student and classroom level data. The findings from the study showed that there was no effect of group (self-contained versus departmentalized) on the academic performance of the students in either reading or mathematics KCCT scale scores. The conclusions drawn by the researcher, based on the study results were that based on the population of the study, the choice of school organization (self-contained or departmentalized) had no significant effect on the academic achievement of fourth and fifth grade students on KCCT reading and mathematics scale scores.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fourth-graders around the country face new, high-stakes standardized tests, drawing increased attention to the need for effective literacy instruction in the upper-elementary grades. This essential book goes beyond political catch-phrases to examine what actually works in the fourth-grade classroom. After reviewing current research on upper-elementary reading instruction, the book takes readers directly into the classrooms of six highly successful teachers. Like the previously published Learning to Read, which focused on the first grade, Reading to Learn offers a rare view of the techniques and strategies good teachers use to engage students, help them develop as thoughtful readers and writers, and bolster self-directed learning and literate conversation. Bringing to life the complexities of day-to-day work with diverse students, the book provides inspiration and practical ideas for any teacher in the upper-elementary grades.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study investigated the effects of departmentalized and self-contained classroom structures on student achievement of fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students in Mississippi schools. Historical MCT2 proficiency level percentages were collected from the Mississippi Department of Education website for the following school years: 2009-2010, 2010-2011, 2011-2012, and 2012-2013. This data was used to calculate a revised Quality of Distribution Index (QDI-R) for each school included in the study. Using the QDI-R, differences were generated between school year (SY) 2009-2010 and SY 2010-2011; between SY 2010-2011 and SY 2011-2012; and between SY 2011-2012 and SY 2012-2013. This yielded three data points for measuring student achievement in the study. An email questionnaire was distributed to schools in order to determine which structure was being utilized in each school for each grade level. Follow up phone calls were made to those failing to respond to the email request. Once this information was collected, the population of the study included 247 schools serving fourth grade, 242 schools serving fifth grade, and 207 schools serving sixth grade. A one-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was conducted for determining if a difference existed between the two structures for each grade level. Findings revealed no significant difference between structures in language arts for grades four, five, or six. There was also no evidence of a significant difference between structures for grade four and five mathematics. A significant difference was found between the two structures for grade six mathematics.

This book was released on 2015-09-03 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is currently a great deal of confusion, frustration, and even desperation being felt by school leaders throughout the United States. This panic has been caused by the pressures of high-stakes testing and accountability being pushed into the classrooms and throughout campuses by politicians and business leaders, with little to no experience within the field of education. With these pressures, instructional leaders are being forced to make rash and often times ill-informed decisions in an attempt to improve state-mandated assessment scores out of fear for their jobs and automatic consequences for their students. One of the rash and often times ill-informed decisions being made by elementary instructional leaders pertains to which classroom structures they want to use within their campuses. Many principals are moving towards the departmentalized classroom structure versus the traditional self-contained classroom structure. These decisions are being made with little to no data backing their choice. This study breaks the numbers down in hopes of informing school leaders which methodology is better for their students.
