Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kathryn Craig draws upon her personal experience of being an "At-Risk" and "Under-resourced" student, her professional experience of working with Title I schools, and extensive research and training to create this compact and engaging book to better help educators know how to reach this now-majority student population. In this narrative, non-fiction book, educators get a glimpse into the world of economically disadvantaged students and how to better reach, teach, and ensure their successful learning. Told in a story-like format through the eyes of Zeniah, a student in Ms. Clancy's class, educators not only understand the what and why of each of the R's, but also how to implement it in an educational setting. Full of ready-to-implement strategies, this book is one that educators will be referencing continually and using in book studies to better reach this ever-growing student population.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the problems of educating disadvantaged youth often seem overwhelming, this volume provides optimistic insights on the subject. All of the contributors are committed to the principle that disadvantaged children can be served by schools. They recommend major policy changes, dramatic alterations of school structures and practices, and fundamentally different ways of viewing both disadvantaged youth and effective schooling. The volume presents an interdisciplinary approach to research and a collaborative approach to school-based interventions. The topics covered include family involvement in schooling; linguistic contexts of schooling; political and social policy analyses; school practices; and the role of foundations in supporting school improvement. The focal groups include young children, young and older adolescents, ethnic and linguistic minorities, and families. The first section of the volume focuses on issues facing policymakers and educators. The second section focuses on linkages among children's learning in schools, families and community-based agencies and programs. The final section examines school practices that affect the performance of disadvantaged and minority students in existing school structures.

Book Synopsis Providing Comprehensive Educational Opportunity to Low Income Students. Part 5 by : Michael A. Rebell
Download or read book Providing Comprehensive Educational Opportunity to Low Income Students. Part 5 written by Michael A. Rebell and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 31 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fifth in a five part series, states that, if comprehensive educational opportunity is conceived as a right, then the state must commit to providing it and must develop a policy infrastructure to assure broad access, uniform quality, regularized funding, and firm accountability strictures to ensure all students a meaningful opportunity to obtain necessary services. Past efforts to ensure comprehensive opportunities for low-income students have proven ephemeral mainly because the policy infrastructure to ground the reforms permanently was never adopted. The standards movement has established such a policy infrastructure in regard to K-12 education. The standards-based approach consists of expected outcomes, specific academic standards, and extensive accountability requirements. The New York Court of Appeals in the "CFE v the State of New York," 2009 case, and courts in many other states, have issued mandates to provide the resources required to meet those standards in the sound basic education cases that have been litigated throughout the country in recent years. The aim is to create a coherent system of standards, resources, and assessments that will result in significant improvements in achievement for all students. The task force contends that the appropriate way to implement children's right to comprehensive educational opportunity and to ensure adequacy and equity in access to services in early childhood education, expanded learning opportunities, health, and family support services is to apply the same policy infrastructure that has proved so useful in K-12 education. To create guidelines for developing the full policy infrastructure for comprehensive educational opportunity, for each of the component areas of children's services that constitute comprehensive educational opportunity the task force members and invited experts developed a policy framework that included (1) setting goals for the system and articulating expected student outcomes; (2) delineating the range of program quality and performance standards that the state needs to develop in each area to ensure those goals are reached; and (3) detailing the essential resources and services needed to provide meaningful opportunities to achieve the standards. Using figures from Rothstein, Wilder, and Allgood (2011) and subtracting the current expenditures in these areas as calculated by Belfield and Garcia (2011), it is estimated that a high quality, integrated system of comprehensive educational opportunity would require approximately $4,750 more per disadvantaged child in New York State than we are now spending for these services; the national equivalent figure would be $4,230. This is not an inconsequential amount of money, but the analysis shows that broad-based implementation of the right to comprehensive educational opportunity is a feasible proposition. Furthermore, actual implementation of this range of services is likely to involve more effective and efficient arrangements than the compartmentalized way that each service is separately described for analytic purposes. Effective coordination in implementing comprehensive services is likely to reduce the total costs. Belfield, Hollands, and Garcia (2011) demonstrate that the social and economic returns of providing disadvantaged students a meaningful educational opportunity are substantial, and they clearly justify the moderate investments that are really necessary to overcome achievement gaps and ensure that all students are prepared for the challenging economic and political environments with which the nation will have to cope in the years to come. It is our responsibility to these students today, and to the futures of all our children, that we begin the hard work of adopting the policy infrastructure necessary to secure this right and determining to make these investments most effectively to create a system to provide it.

Book excerpt: In these vivid, thought-provoking essays, leading scholars draw from their own life experiences to explore the ways in which socio-economic class has shaped their lives and educational practices. Some experienced the sting of poverty as students, while others tell stories of a privileged upbringing and moments of epiphany when they recognized the far-reaching effects of class privilege. Many in this volume tell stories of their successful (and not-so-successful) teaching experiences with students from various social classes, providing valuable insights for teachers and other education professionals.

Book Synopsis Closing the Achievement Gap for Economically Disadvantaged Students? by : Rolf K. Blank
Download or read book Closing the Achievement Gap for Economically Disadvantaged Students? written by Rolf K. Blank and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A critical state-level indicator of progress in public education is student achievement annual performance and change over time. The Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) has been very active in tracking and reporting on student achievement results and using state assessment scores and other data to analyze achievement trends. A central goal of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act was to close the gap in student achievement between students from different social and economic backgrounds. A principal objective of the federal funding mandated under NCLB, the design for program initiatives, and the accountability provisions of the federal law was to reduce the extent of disparity in performance of students from different demographic groups within schools as well as differences in the demonstrated performance of schools, districts, and states. The present report uses two different measures of student achievement--state student assessments and the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)--to determine the degree to which achievement gaps have been reduced in the period of implementation of NCLB in states. Three key questions are addressed by this analysis: (1) Has student achievement on state-administered annual assessments in math and language arts improved significantly since NCLB implementation and particularly for students from economically disadvantaged families?; (2) Has the achievement gap for economically disadvantaged students closed since NCLB implementation?; and (3) Are state trends in student achievement on state assessments confirmed by achievement trends on the NAEP math and reading assessments? State education agencies have responsibility under state and federal laws for reporting on the educational progress of schools, and the annual "school report card" is a common method by which states or school districts organize and report selected comparable school statistics on the status and progress of education. Currently, education indicators are centered around measures of education outcomes and particularly student achievement on standardized assessments. With increasing use of integrated data systems by states and districts, student achievement growth can be tracked for multiple years and many states are now using growth models for school accountability. The analyses of achievement trends presented in this paper use achievement scores aggregated at the state level to analyze grade cohort change over time for specific target student groups. An appendix presents tables showing trends for NAEP Proficient level in reading and math. (Contains 8 tables and 4 figures.).
Book Synopsis Economically Disadvantaged Students by : Stephanie Kim Hawkins
Download or read book Economically Disadvantaged Students written by Stephanie Kim Hawkins and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study examined academically successful economically disadvantaged (ED) students from one intact Caucasian family through parents', students', and teachers' perceptions of the reasons for resilience. The problem is that little research exists exploring qualities of academically successful ED Caucasian students. Because being a high school dropout significantly affects students, families, schools, and society, risk factors were explored; protective factors that help students overcome risk factors were also investigated. This study describes why academically successful ED students from one intact Caucasian family in Tennessee thrive despite risk factors working against them. Findings include the importance of Christian faith to the family in the case study and its positive effect on academic achievement. Suggestions for further research are also included.
Book Synopsis Schools That Succeed, Students Who Achieve by : James Deneen
Download or read book Schools That Succeed, Students Who Achieve written by James Deneen and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2010-01-16 with total page 111 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools That Succeed, Students Who Achieve compares the academic achievements of students in the United States to those of students in other countries. Examining fundamental questions and educational issues, James Deneen identifies what all students should learn and discusses what American students currently learn. Deneen argues that failing schools can become successful by studying examples of successful schools with similar demographic features. To that end, he presents profiles of ten successful elementary schools, seven middle schools, ten high schools, and three highly diverse but successful school districts. The examples contain a sampling of economically disadvantaged as well as affluent and financially average school communities. This book provides demographic data, evidence of student achievement, and descriptions of programs that contribute to each school and district's success, illuminating what successful schools do to improve student achievement regardless of_or sometimes because of_their socioeconomic status. In the final chapters of this book, Deneen describes the assessment and evaluation of curricular changes and summarizes the policies and practices that work to create successful schools.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the data of a large scale survey conducted by Collaborative Innovation Center of Assessment Toward Basic Education Quality at Beijing Normal University, this study examined the role of school in reducing education inequality. The results showed that schools concentrated with resilient students had higher mean socioeconomic status (SES) and SES heterogeneity, more education resources, higher teaching quality, and more positive school climate, and these factors also functioned as significant predictors of academic resilience. Provid-ing socioeconomically disadvantaged students with access to both high SES schools and enriched school resources can even the education ine-quality related to family background. In order to promote education equality, policymakers and education practitioners should take measures to reduce the degree of stratification and encourage student integration, promote equal distribution of high quality education resources among schools, enhance teachers' ability to effectively use individualized, coop-erative and inquiry teaching methods, and build a supportive climate.

Book excerpt: A volume in International Advances in Education: Global Initiatives for Equity and Social Justice Series Editors: Elinor L. Brown, University of Kentucky, Rhonda Craven, University of Western Sydney, and George McLean, Catholic Universities of America. International Advances in Education: Global Initiatives for Equity and Social Justice is an international research monograph series of scholarly works that primarily focus on empowering students (children, adolescents, and young adults) from diverse current circumstances and historic beliefs and traditions to become non-exploited/non-exploitive contributing members of the 21st century. The series draws on the research and innovative practices of investigators, academics, and community organizers around the globe that have contributed to the evidence base for developing sound educational policies, practices, and programs that optimize all students' potential. Each volume includes multidisciplinary theory, research, and practices that provide an enriched understanding of the drivers of human potential via education to assist others in exploring, adapting, and replicating innovative strategies that enable ALL students to realize their full potential. Chapters in this volume are drawn from a wide range of countries including: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Finland, Georgia, Haiti, India, Italy, Kyrgyzstan, Portugal, Slovenia, Tanzania, Ukraine, and The United States all addressing issues of educational inequity, economic constraint, class bias and the links between education, poverty and social status. The individual chapters provide examples of theory, research, and practice that collectively present a lively, informative, cross-perspective, international conversation highlighting the significant gross economic and social injustices that abound in a wide variety of educational contexts around the world while spotlighting important, inspirational, and innovative remedies. Taken together, the chapters advance our understanding of best practices in the education of economically disadvantaged and socially marginalized populations while collectively rejecting institutional policies and traditional practices that reinforce the roots of economic and social discrimination. Chapter authors, utilize a range of methodologies including empirical research, historical reviews, case studies and personal reflections to demonstrate that poverty and class status are sociopolitical conditions, rather than individual identities. In addition, that education is an absolute human right and a powerful mechanism to promote individual, national, and international upward social and economic mobility, national stability and citizen wellbeing.

Download or read book Equity in Education written by Oecd and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In times of growing economic inequality, improving equity in education becomes more urgent. While some countries and economies that participate in the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) have managed to build education systems where socio-economic status makes less of a difference to students' learning and well-being, every country can do more. Equity in Education: Breaking Down Barriers to Social Mobility shows that high performance and more positive attitudes towards schooling among disadvantaged 15-year-old students are strong predictors of success in higher education and work later on. The report examines how equity in education has evolved over several cycles of the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA). It identifies the policies and practices that can help disadvantaged students succeed academically and feel more engaged at school. Using longitudinal data from five countries (Australia, Canada, Denmark, Switzerland, and the United States), the report also describes the links between a student's performance near the end of compulsory education and upward social mobility - i.e. attaining a higher level of education or working in a higher-status job than one's parents.

Book Synopsis Rebuilding Our Public Educational System by : David W. Hale
Download or read book Rebuilding Our Public Educational System written by David W. Hale and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-06 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public education adheres to a rote-based, assembly-line model that worked well back in the heyday of American manufacturing. Those days are gone. Our school system prepares students for a workplace that no longer exists. Educational consultant David W. Hale, PE, argues that a radical transformation of public education would arm students with the skills and mind-sets they need to succeed in the intensely competitive modern global workforce. His no-nonsense system focuses on five Rs: reality check, reeducate, refinance, refocus, and revolutionize. Hale's approach requires us to accept the reality that US education now faces global competition. From there, we need reeducated teachers to provide solutions to poverty, drugs, and other external problems that hinder learning. Refinancing public education is vital if we are to develop a cost-effective, student-focused education system. We need to refocus how we define educational success to prepare high school graduates for the modern workforce. And, finally, we must revolutionize teaching and learning techniques to maximize student success. Bold, straightforward, and timely, Rebuilding Our Public Educational System: Using the Five R Approach offers a transformative model for an educational system currently incapable of handling global competition.
