Book excerpt: One area of education that many school leaders utilize to assist students at risk of dropping out of school is Career and Technical Education (CTE). The hands-on learning and real-world connections that CTE offers are characteristics that are attractive to students who do not see the traditional values associated with a high school education. In contrast to these strengths, some educators doubt the ability of CTE programs to prepare students for college to the same degree as a traditional high school program. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact that CTE programs have on the achievement of at-risk students. Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) and Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) scores of at-risk high school students (n = 1,161) from a large, suburban school district in Texas were examined to determine if a student's level of involvement in a CTE program affected their achievement at both the minimum skill and college readiness levels. A logistical regression was performed to determine the extent to which at-risk students' level of CTE involvement was related to TAKS English Language Arts and Math scaled scores and to PSAT Critical Reading and Math scores. The results of this study indicated that the achievement levels of at-risk students on the measure of minimum skills were not statistically significantly different when analyzed by level of CTE involvement. The achievement levels of at-risk students on the measure of college readiness levels, however, were statistically significantly lower for students with lower levels of CTE involvement. As the level of CTE involvement increased, this difference disappeared. The results of this study should encourage school leaders to re-examine CTE programs and to determine ways in which to merge the best aspects from academic and CTE courses together to increase achievement for all students.
Book Synopsis The Impact of Career and Technical Education Programs on Postsecondary Readiness for Overage Black and Latino Students as Perceived by NYCDOE Career and Technical Education Leaders by : Louisa Hanchard Palmer
Download or read book The Impact of Career and Technical Education Programs on Postsecondary Readiness for Overage Black and Latino Students as Perceived by NYCDOE Career and Technical Education Leaders written by Louisa Hanchard Palmer and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study explored the perceptions of twelve New York City Department of Education leaders in Career and Technical Education (CTE) regarding programming, organizational structures and supports that impact college and career readiness of overage Black and Latino students. A grounded theory approach was used to define themes within the responses of CTE leaders that depict leadership practices to support the ability for overage students to graduate from high school and be able to complete a postsecondary college or skilled trade education. Findings concluded that CTE leaders perceived the greatest impact on postsecondary achievement for overage Black and Latino students to be curricula designed to ensure that students meet college readiness benchmarks before moving into CTE pathways, support structures and services that provide for the unique needs of overage high school students, and the use of human and capital resources in creative ways to provide for at-risk student support. A review of NYCDOE achievement data on CTE schools concluded that school leaders' perceptions of impact on achievement for Black and Latino students is reflected in four-year graduation rates for this population but are not necessarily reflected in college readiness index rates. Conclusions informed the researcher's recommendations for increasing the number of CTE schools with a narrow focus and enacting hiring practices and training for CTE leaders with the objective of improving the disproportionately low outcomes for Black and Latino high school student and reducing the number of Black and Latino students who become overage. Recommendations for further study specify a longitudinal study to determine the postsecondary career paths of Black and Latino students who graduate overage from NYCDOE CTE high schools as well as a study of the CTE interests of middle school students identified as at-risk in order to inform further improvements in CTE offerings.

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.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to increase awareness to all levels of education of the specific benefits to the students who have been enrolled in Career and Technical Education courses throughout their high school careers. The topic was selected because the students in the Shakopee Public school district have had the opportunity to benefit from Career and Technical Education and have been proven to be successful in secondary and post-secondary life (both in career and college readiness). Research led to summarizing what the key characteristics are that define a success high school student, college student, and as a career professional. Through this study, the goal was to collect data on how many students were being impacted by Career and Technical Education courses in a positive way at all three phases, and then utilize that data to improve future enrollment for all students at Shakopee High School.
Book Synopsis Dropping Out by : Russell W. Rumberger
Download or read book Dropping Out written by Russell W. Rumberger and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-15 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vast majority of kids in the developed world finish high school—but not in the United States. More than a million kids drop out every year, around 7,000 a day, and the numbers are rising. Dropping Out offers a comprehensive overview by one of the country’s leading experts, and provides answers to fundamental questions: Who drops out, and why? What happens to them when they do? How can we prevent at-risk kids from short-circuiting their futures? Students start disengaging long before they get to high school, and the consequences are severe—not just for individuals but for the larger society and economy. Dropouts never catch up with high school graduates on any measure. They are less likely to find work at all, and more likely to live in poverty, commit crimes, and suffer health problems. Even life expectancy for dropouts is shorter by seven years than for those who earn a diploma. Russell Rumberger advocates targeting the most vulnerable students as far back as the early elementary grades. And he levels sharp criticism at the conventional definition of success as readiness for college. He argues that high schools must offer all students what they need to succeed in the workplace and independent adult life. A more flexible and practical definition of achievement—one in which a high school education does not simply qualify you for more school—can make school make sense to young people. And maybe keep them there.

Book Synopsis Methods Matter by : Richard J. Murnane
Download or read book Methods Matter written by Richard J. Murnane and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-09-17 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational policy-makers around the world constantly make decisions about how to use scarce resources to improve the education of children. Unfortunately, their decisions are rarely informed by evidence on the consequences of these initiatives in other settings. Nor are decisions typically accompanied by well-formulated plans to evaluate their causal impacts. As a result, knowledge about what works in different situations has been very slow to accumulate. Over the last several decades, advances in research methodology, administrative record keeping, and statistical software have dramatically increased the potential for researchers to conduct compelling evaluations of the causal impacts of educational interventions, and the number of well-designed studies is growing. Written in clear, concise prose, Methods Matter: Improving Causal Inference in Educational and Social Science Research offers essential guidance for those who evaluate educational policies. Using numerous examples of high-quality studies that have evaluated the causal impacts of important educational interventions, the authors go beyond the simple presentation of new analytical methods to discuss the controversies surrounding each study, and provide heuristic explanations that are also broadly accessible. Murnane and Willett offer strong methodological insights on causal inference, while also examining the consequences of a wide variety of educational policies implemented in the U.S. and abroad. Representing a unique contribution to the literature surrounding educational research, this landmark text will be invaluable for students and researchers in education and public policy, as well as those interested in social science.

Book Synopsis Increasing student success rates through career and technical educational opportunities by : Linda Ann Walker
Download or read book Increasing student success rates through career and technical educational opportunities written by Linda Ann Walker and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Career and Technical Education is rooted in colonial apprenticeships yet not officially established until 1917 with the Smith-Hughes Act for vocational education and the more recent updates in 2006 to the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act. Over the decades many revisions have been adopted based on industry needs. Labor market changes dictate training and knowledge required in the competitive world market. Our students benefit from vocation and CTE training preparing them with acquired skills, real-world experiences and leadership roles. In years past, students who did not excel in academics were often placed into technical training programs in hopes of securing a blue collar or industrial job but today, academically-minded students also understand the clear advantages that CTE offers with dual enrollment, transferable college credits and internship opportunities. It’s clear that all students stand to gain from CTE, but who needs it the most? At-risk students who may not graduate and will struggle to make ends meet as adults and can profit the most from CTE. These individuals are often from low-income areas and are minorities or disabled who can remain in the continuum of cyclic poverty if nothing is done to prevent this from happening. Consolers and administrators can enroll at-risk students in CTE programs that can lead them away from a life destined for strife and disparity to one of employability. This project addresses the favorable results of CTE and at-risk high school students through consoler awareness and interventions.

Book Synopsis The Effects of Preparedness on Career and Technical Education Student's Program Performance and Vocational Attainment by : Walter Warren
Download or read book The Effects of Preparedness on Career and Technical Education Student's Program Performance and Vocational Attainment written by Walter Warren and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative correlational study was to consider the effects that academic and vocational preparedness have on postsecondary students' performance in a Career and Technical Education (CTE) or apprenticeship program, and the relationship between their in-program performance and vocational attainment after program completion. The study was conducted using archival data from a postsecondary CTE institution with a proven track record for administering apprentice programs. The findings from this study are an indication that academic and vocational preparedness are relevant factors when considering students' ability to complete a postsecondary CTE program, level of performance in a CTE program, and vocational attainment or outcome after completing a CTE program.
