This book was released on 2005 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the achievement of students in 14 Pascagoula schools and 9 Biloxi schools implementing School Renaissance (SR) to that of students in matched control schools. The achievement measures to be examined were from the 2004 administration of the Mississippi Curriculum Test (MCT) for Reading, Language Arts, and Mathematics in grades 2-8 and the Mississippi Writing Assessment (WA) in grades 4 and 7. Results showed that, although program effects were not as strong and consistent as in the prior school year, they remained generally positive: 16 out of 20 computed effect size estimates were positive. In both Reading and Language Arts, significant positive program effects were observed in 5th grade and 8th grade. In Mathematics, a strong, significant program effect was observed in 3rd and 6th grades. As in 2002-03, strong, significant program effects were obtained in both tested grade levels, particularly in 4th grade, on the Writing Assessment. Supplementary analyses examined outcomes separately by school district, and examined the relationship of student-level implementation measures to achievement effects. Results showed stronger and more consistent program effects in Reading, Language Arts, Math, and Writing for Biloxi than for Pascagoula. Further, implementation measures (particularly reading level and comprehension scores) accounted for substantial variance in achievement, especially in lower grades. These results overall indicate generally positive and sustainable impacts of SR on student performance in program-independent, high-stakes testing. However, these impacts were predominantly evident in Biloxi and only minimally so in Pascagoula, thus suggesting that sustained implementation (four years vs. two years, respectively) was critical to success. Assessment Scoring Rubrics are appended. (Contains 10 figures and 7 tables.).

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the achievement of students in 14 Pascagoula schools and 9 Biloxi schools implementing School Renaissance (SR) to those of students in matched Control schools. The achievement measures to be examined were from the 2003 administration of the Mississippi Curriculum Test (MCT) for Reading, Language Arts, and Mathematics in grades 2-8 and the Mississippi Writing Assessment (WA) in grade 4 and 7. The Pascagoula schools began implementing SR in January, 2002, and the Biloxi schools began implementation in August, 2000. Thus, the present analyses of 2003 achievement data relates to the first and third full years of SR in Pascagoula and Biloxi, respectively. Given that positive school climate is often a precursor to enacting successful school reform, a supplementary part of the study examined school climate in SR relative to Control schools. A matched program-control school quasi-experimental design was employed for this study. Participants included 10,160 students in grades 3 through 8 attending one of 40 schools in 15 school districts in southern Mississippi. Results suggest that SR is having positive effects on the participating schools. The Fourth Grade Mississippi Writing Assessment Scoring Rubric is appended.

Book Synopsis Student Achievement and the Distribution of Human and Fiscal Resources in Mississippi Public School Districts by : Jerry Johnson
Download or read book Student Achievement and the Distribution of Human and Fiscal Resources in Mississippi Public School Districts written by Jerry Johnson and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an effort to explore whether resources matter in Mississippi, this study investigates the relationship between: (1) student achievement; and (2) human and fiscal resources among school districts. In considering these relationships, it is important to recognize that the cost of providing an adequate education may vary with the socioeconomic characteristics of the district, and that other factors may affect the relationship between achievement patterns and resources. For instance, districts that serve higher percentages of students who face non-academic barriers to high achievement (poverty, low education levels among adults, etc.) require additional resources to "level the playing field" for their students. With that in mind, the study also includes socioeconomic characteristics of school districts and their communities in the analysis. Findings suggest that the distribution of human and fiscal resources throughout the state does in fact mirror the distribution of student achievement, in ways that place school systems serving the most challenged student populations in the unenviable position of attempting to do more for their students with fewer resources available. (Contains 11 figures, 5 tables, and 3 footnotes.).
Book Synopsis The Effects of Departmentalized and Self-contained Structures on Student Achievement by : Carrie R. - Skelton
Download or read book The Effects of Departmentalized and Self-contained Structures on Student Achievement written by Carrie R. - Skelton and published by . 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 2009-11-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The interplay between sociopolitical forces and economic agendas becomes apparent when one examines the June 28, 2007 United States Supreme Court Decision, Parents Involved In Community Schools v. Seattle School District . In a reversal of the 1954 Brown Decision, the United States Supreme Court ruled that public schools could not use race as a factor when assigning children to public schools. Given demographic shifts, globalization, economic instability, and ideological shifts, the reversal was expected. However, it is essential that policymakers, educators, and other stakeholders consider the impact of attending segregated schools on the achievement gap that continues to exist between minority groups and European Americans attending resegregated neighborhood schools. This book will focus on the test score gaps between African American and European American students. The achievement gaps between these two groups will be analyzed will be presented and elaborated. Additionally, the authors will analyze how changes in school characteristics such as: racial composition; school composition; school expenditures, and socio economic level of neighborhoods affect achievement gap trends in the Norfolk School District. An examination of the achievement gap trends in an urban school district will serve to better inform public policy and school reform efforts. The specific goals of this book are to describe the achievement gap between minority African-American students and European-American students in the Norfolk school district and to present strategies utilized by urban districts to narrow the gap. One unique feature of this book is that it provides a data-driven research-based analysis of the achievement gap between minority and European-American students.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Principal Salary, District Wealth, Student Socioeconomic Status and School Size on the Achievement Level of Students in Selected Mississippi Public Schools by : Michael Henry McNeece
Download or read book The Impact of Principal Salary, District Wealth, Student Socioeconomic Status and School Size on the Achievement Level of Students in Selected Mississippi Public Schools written by Michael Henry McNeece and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of four variables, principal salary, district wealth, student socioeconomic status, and school size, on the achievement level of public school students in Mississippi. The first, principal salary, was found not to have been studied as a variable that may correlate with student achievement. One may have hypothesized that more effective principals would correlate with increased student achievement test scores and that those principals would have been rewarded with higher salaries. The results of this study did not support that idea. The data indicated that there was no meaningful correlation between highly paid principals and higher student achievement. There was no significant correlation between district wealth and student achievement. This may indicate that Mississippi school funding (MAEP) and federal funding have been effective in aiding low-wealth schools as was intended by lawmakers. There was a significant low positive correlation between school size and student achievement in non-urban elementary schools and a significant very low positive correlation with student achievement in high schools. That places this study in the minority camp of recent research in concluding that larger schools did not correlate with lower achievement. The most significant, meaningful, and important finding of this study was the dramatic impact that student poverty has on student achievement in Mississippi. In urban schools and rural schools, in elementary, middle, and high schools, poorer children scored poorly on their achievement tests. Correlations were significant moderate to high at all levels, with the highest at middle schools with a significant high negative correlation of -.636. The analysis indicates that a decrease in poverty will result in a dramatic increase in student achievement.

The detailed description of the MAEP and its relationship to revenues derived from ad valorem taxes and how they explain the primary basis for revenues that support public education in Mississippi. Hence, a secondary problem in this study identified a prediction equation based upon selected school characteristics and derived funding levels (using MAEP data) to predict student achievement. Six hypotheses were examined in the study to determine the effects of school funding upon academic achievement.

This book was released on 2009 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to understand what No Child Left Behind (NCLB) meant to teachers in Mississippi and to determine what impact this reform had on reading and language arts classroom instruction for teachers. Qualitative research methods in the form of interview data and classroom observations were used to examine teachers' perceptions of accountability and its effects on classroom instruction. Teachers were asked to answer a set of research interview questions related to research questions. The specific research questions used to explore teachers' perceptions about accountability were (1) What are reading and language arts teachers' perceptions of accountability? (2) What are teachers' perceptions of the influence of state testing on reading and language arts classroom instruction? and (3) How do elementary and middle school teachers prepare students for end-of-year reading and language arts state test? The researcher gathered qualitative data from five teachers with teaching experience ranging from 5 years to 30 years of teaching experience. Each teacher who participated in this study was familiar with administering Mississippi Curriculum Test 2 (MCT2) at the elementary and middle school level. The results of this study indicated that teachers believe that the Mississippi accountability system is effective for improving the teaching and learning process but not for holding schools and districts accountable. Each teacher in this study believed that test scores alone were not effective for addressing the familial and societal issues many schools face on a day-to-day basis and as a result using test scores to determine school quality was unrealistic. Of the five teachers interviewed, four reported engaging students in meaningful learning activities that put emphasis on the significance of language arts in daily life. These teachers were also observed placing more emphasis on rubric-based assessments, classroom writing activities, and student-centered activities as a result of the 2006 Mississippi Language Arts Framework-Revised and MCT2. Recommendations for further research include investigating whether the impact of teachers' professional experience influences student achievement, or whether the impact of the building principal's perceptions of the framework impact classroom instruction and teachers' perceptions.
