Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the potential academic impact that a trained peer mentor, would have on first time ninth grade students. Specifically, the study was aimed to measure the academic performance of ninth grade students by focusing on the interim assessment, which is a summative pre and post- test aligned to End of Course Test content weights and is used to assess students at the end of each term or semester. The study addressed whether there is a difference in post-test interim assessment scores, passing rates, and numerical averages in Integrated Algebra I by examining first time ninth grade students who receive assistance from a trained mentors (Group 1) and first time ninth grade students who did not receive peer mentoring assistance.

Download or read book A Case Study of the Impact of High School Interventions for Ninth Graders' Academic Performance written by Marisa Calvi-Rogers and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This mixed methods case study examined the effectiveness of a set of ninth grade intervention programs on improving the academic performance of the ninth graders in a single urban high school in Connecticut. The interventions focused on the academic performance of ninth graders, since those who pass all of their courses in their first year have a greater chance of graduating within four years. School improvement/accountability plans include targets for four-year graduation rates as a measurement for this high school. The literature review is categorized into four areas - significance of ninth grade success; peer mentor programs; Response to Intervention (RTI) policies known as Scientific Research Based Interventions (SRBI); and chronic absenteeism. Quantitative data sources included ninth graders who failed one class or more and the number of days absent from school. Within the population of failing ninth graders those who received SRBI interventions, participated in team study halls and/or participated in attendance meetings were also examined. Additional data included surveys and interviews completed by ninth graders, senior peer mentors, and teachers involved with the interventions or who served as club advisors or coaches. The interventions were intended to: (a) reduce the number of failures; (b) to improve attendance; (c) to improve the students' ability to graduate within four years; and (d) to provide ways for ninth graders to feel connected to their high school. The results showed decreases in course failures and an increase in four-year graduation rates. From 2013 to 2017, the percentage of failing freshmen remaining on-track to a four-year graduation rate increased from 0% to 64%. The school-wide interventions, such as the peer mentor program, helped ninth graders to build positive connections with their senior mentors and increased involvement in school activities. Based upon feedback from both the ninth graders and their teachers, the high school experience course was successful in helping students to build individualized career plans. All of the interventions provided opportunities for ninth graders to make important connections and these connections helped the ninth graders to have an easier transition to high school.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The idea of ninth grade transition to a high school setting has proven problematic and has been the topic for much discourse in the educational arena. Because of this, the author advocates for a change in the school structure to institutionalize the systems that address ninth grade transition concerns. Specifically, the author suggests a peer mentoring model that incorporates the experiences and expertise of students in grades eleven and twelve to address these concerns. Citing recent educational research, the author states that a program such as this will assist in, among other things, increasing academic performance, decreasing incidents of anti-social behaviors, and creating a sense of ownership of the school environment among the students at the school in question.

This book was released on 2020-01-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mentorship is a catalyst capable of unleashing one's potential for discovery, curiosity, and participation in STEMM and subsequently improving the training environment in which that STEMM potential is fostered. Mentoring relationships provide developmental spaces in which students' STEMM skills are honed and pathways into STEMM fields can be discovered. Because mentorship can be so influential in shaping the future STEMM workforce, its occurrence should not be left to chance or idiosyncratic implementation. There is a gap between what we know about effective mentoring and how it is practiced in higher education. The Science of Effective Mentorship in STEMM studies mentoring programs and practices at the undergraduate and graduate levels. It explores the importance of mentorship, the science of mentoring relationships, mentorship of underrepresented students in STEMM, mentorship structures and behaviors, and institutional cultures that support mentorship. This report and its complementary interactive guide present insights on effective programs and practices that can be adopted and adapted by institutions, departments, and individual faculty members.

Book excerpt: There is nothing more powerful than receiving adjusting and affirming feedback from a peer. This book is designed to assist all school stakeholders who are interested in implementing an effective peer mentorship program that is specifically geared for high and middle school students. The concept can even be implemented at lower grade levels. Whether you are a student, mentor, mentee, parent, guidance counselor, social worker, teacher or principal, this book will be a guide listing and framing best practices for the coordination of a peer mentorship program. Peer mentorship can be an essential piece of a larger puzzle and can have a tremendous impact on school culture nationwide. For students being mentored the difference in them is almost immediate. Mentorship has a significant effect on bullying, attendance, grade point averages, suspension rates, disciplinary referrals and classroom disruption. Peer mentorship in schools has the potential if implemented with best practices to change the face of student culture throughout every middle and high school in the nation. We live in a society that encourages individuality and promotes independence but at what cost? Though we teach our children to be dependent free of others the reality is that no man or woman is an island. We are social beings and caring for one another is what makes us human. When we work together we achieve more. Character is not a concept that is simply spoken about but actually manifests itself through our actions. As educators it is our moral obligation to teach students the importance to care for one another. Studies have shown that schools with peer mentorship programs along with an effective character education curriculum have had significant increases in academic performance and improved confidence as well as decreases in poor behavior and suspensions.
