This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many school districts are using research-based strategies to increase student achievement. The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 was created and implemented to assist all students becoming proficient in reading and mathematics by 2014. One strategy many school districts implemented includes an after-school program. One school district in Mississippi operated an after-school program to help increase the academic achievement of 7th and 8th grade students scoring minimal and basic on the MCT2. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of regular participation in an after-school program on indicators of student academic achievement. The dependent variables for this study consisted of (a) math grade point averages, (b) reading grade point averages, (c) language arts grade point averages, (d) MCT2 math scores, (e) MCT2 language arts scores, (f) number of absences, and (g) number of discipline referrals. The independent variable for this study was program participation, which had two levels. One level was program attendance for at least 40 days and the other level was program attendance for less than 40 days. In this study, 7 hypotheses were tested by comparing the measures of the dependent variables for the two levels of the dependent variables. Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA) was used to test the 7 hypotheses. The results of the ANCOVAs failed to detect any statistically significant differences in the dependent variables between the students who attended the after-school program for at least 40 days and students who did not attend the after-school program for 40 days. However, there were differences in the measures between the two groups. Not only did the regular attendees have lower averages in absenteeism and discipline referrals, they also had higher averages in mathematics (both GPA and MCT2), reading GPA, and language arts GPA. The only measure where the non-regular attendees demonstrated better performance was on the language arts MCT2. The recommendations for future research are as follows: implementation of adequate professional development for after-school program teachers, a research based reading program to assess student achievement, and a longitudinal study on after-school programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, students who failed to demonstrate proficiency on state assessments were identified and targeted in order to receive interventions to assist in increasing their academic achievement. For many students, time during the regular school day simply could not be provided for the attention or time on-task necessary to meet their needs. As a result, many school districts and schools implemented after-school and tutoring programs to target those students who failed to demonstrate proficiency. Louisville Municipal School District (LMSD) operated an after-school program to help increase the academic achievement of 5th through 8th grade students in reading/language and mathematics on the MCT2. The purpose of this study was to (a) explore the impact the after-school program's strategic components (leadership, activities, and partnerships) had on student achievement, and (b) determine if the after-school program had a positive effect on academic outcomes in the areas of reading/language and mathematics. A mixed method research design was used to conduct the study. A narrative approach was used to provide a response to the first research question. The Chi-squared test of independence was used as the primary means of analysis for the second and third research questions to determine if relationship existed between participation in the after-school program and academic achievement. The results from the research study show that strategic components of an after-school program had a positive impact on student achievement. Emerging themes were identified for each strategic component: leadership, activities, and partnerships. Participation in the after-school program proved to be a good predictor of student achievement on MCT2, with statistically significant Chi-squared results for reading/language. The recommendations for future research are as follows: (a) further research to improve reading/language and mathematics skills among the nation's students, (b) longitudinal studies to determine long term effects on students attending after-school programs multiple years, (c) study of effects of after-school programs on other grade levels, and (d) including outcomes of other variables such as after-school participation on school attendance, behavior, and classroom grades.

This book was released on 2013-11-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physical inactivity is a key determinant of health across the lifespan. A lack of activity increases the risk of heart disease, colon and breast cancer, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, osteoporosis, anxiety and depression and others diseases. Emerging literature has suggested that in terms of mortality, the global population health burden of physical inactivity approaches that of cigarette smoking. The prevalence and substantial disease risk associated with physical inactivity has been described as a pandemic. The prevalence, health impact, and evidence of changeability all have resulted in calls for action to increase physical activity across the lifespan. In response to the need to find ways to make physical activity a health priority for youth, the Institute of Medicine's Committee on Physical Activity and Physical Education in the School Environment was formed. Its purpose was to review the current status of physical activity and physical education in the school environment, including before, during, and after school, and examine the influences of physical activity and physical education on the short and long term physical, cognitive and brain, and psychosocial health and development of children and adolescents. Educating the Student Body makes recommendations about approaches for strengthening and improving programs and policies for physical activity and physical education in the school environment. This report lays out a set of guiding principles to guide its work on these tasks. These included: recognizing the benefits of instilling life-long physical activity habits in children; the value of using systems thinking in improving physical activity and physical education in the school environment; the recognition of current disparities in opportunities and the need to achieve equity in physical activity and physical education; the importance of considering all types of school environments; the need to take into consideration the diversity of students as recommendations are developed. This report will be of interest to local and national policymakers, school officials, teachers, and the education community, researchers, professional organizations, and parents interested in physical activity, physical education, and health for school-aged children and adolescents.

Book Synopsis Effects of After-School Programs on Attendance and Externalizing Behaviors with Primary and Secondary School Students by : Brandy R. Maynard
Download or read book Effects of After-School Programs on Attendance and Externalizing Behaviors with Primary and Secondary School Students written by Brandy R. Maynard and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past two decades, the number and types of after-school programs (ASPs) have increased substantially as a result of increased federal and private spending and because ASPs are perceived to provide wide-ranging and far-reaching benefits to students, families, schools and the public. The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to synthesize the available evidence on the effects of after-school programs with at-risk primary and secondary students on school attendance and externalizing behavior outcomes. The specific questions guiding this review were: (1) What are the effects of ASPs on school attendance with at-risk students who attend an ASP compared to at-risk students who do not attend an ASP?; (2) What are the effects of ASPs on externalizing behavioral outcomes with at-risk students who attend an ASP compared to at-risk students who do not attend an ASP?; and (3) Are there study, participant or program characteristics that moderate effects of ASPs? Studies included in this review were conducted in any setting that housed an ASP (e.g., school, community organization, church). Due to significant differences in educational systems around the world, this review was limited to studies conducted in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Australia. Systematic review methodology, following the Campbell Collaboration procedures and guidelines (Campbell Collaboration, 2014), was used for all aspects of the search, retrieval, selection, and coding of published and unpublished studies meeting study inclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was used to quantitatively synthesize results across studies. Twenty-four studies reported in 31 reports were included in the review. ASPs receive overwhelming positive support and significant resources; however, the overall lack of rigorous studies assessing effects of ASPs and the lack of significant effects of ASPs on attendance and externalizing behaviors found in this review, along with discrepant findings of prior reviews, provide some impetus for us to reconsider the purpose of ASPs and the way ASPs are designed and implemented. For school attendance, the evidence from this review converges with prior quantitative and narrative reviews. Simply, ASPs have not demonstrated significant effects on school attendance. Tables and figures are appended.

Afterschool Program on Middle School Student Academics, Behavior and School Attendance written by Emerald Mitchell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As youth violence rates are high and graduations rate are low in urban communities, the pressure mounts on educators to find ways to engage students and prepare them for high stakes testing. The question remains, how do we improve student engagement, raise motivation, control student behavior and most importantly increase student achievement? The answer is simple. The arts. Throughout history, research has demonstrated that the arts possess limitless intrinsic and cognitive benefits. With this theory in mind, one of the rising approaches to integrate art with traditional academic subjects is the incorporation of art into Science, Technology Engineering and Math. Therefore, converting STEM into STEAM. This study addresses the effectiveness of a STEM Arts afterschool program and its impact on academic achievement, behavior and school attendance for students grades 5-8. The researcher, a former educator and arts advocate, conducted a quasi-experimental study to identify the impact arts and learning styles could have on student achievement. The population studied consisted of 60 students from 4 middle schools within a large urban school district.

Book excerpt: "We can't do that in our school district." "I don't have time to add that to my curriculum." "We're fighting against impossible odds with these students." Sound familiar? School improvement can often feel like a losing battle, but it doesn't have to be. In this fully revised and updated second edition of The Learning Leader, Douglas B. Reeves helps leadership teams go beyond excuses to capitalize on their strengths, reduce their weaknesses, and reset their mindset and priorities to achieve unprecedented success. A critical key is recognizing student achievement as more than just a set of test scores. Reeves asserts that when leaders focus exclusively on results, they fail to measure and understand the importance of their own actions. He offers an alternative—the Leadership for Learning Framework, which helps leaders identify and distinguish among four different types of educators and provide more effective, tailored support to - "Lucky" educators, who achieve high results but don't understand how their actions influence achievement. - "Losing" educators, who achieve low results yet keep doing the same thing, expecting different outcomes. - "Learning" educators, who have not yet achieved the desired results but are working their way toward excellence. - "Leading" educators, who achieve high results and understand how their actions influence their success. Reeves stresses that effective leadership is neither a unitary skill nor a solitary activity. The Learning Leader helps leaders reconceptualize their roles in the school improvement process and motivate themselves and their colleagues to keep working to better serve their students.

This book was released on 2020-02-25 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pre-University Paper from the year 2019 in the subject Pedagogy - General, grade: 1.0, , language: English, abstract: This study was undertaken to find out what are the common experiences of students in participating extra-curricular activities. Also this study aims to know on how students cope up the difficulties they’ve experienced while joining extra-curricular activities. Only fifteen selected students are involved in the research, thus we recommend that they must gather more respondents in order for them to generalize the views and experiences of the students for having an extra-curricular in school. Based on the data that we gathered from all of our respondents that are involved in extra-curricular activities, many of them share the same experiences regarding their participation on ECA. They gain experiences that positively affect them and can be used to improve and enhance not only their grades but their skills and their personality as a student and as a person. For all the students who have extra-curricular activities, researchers recommend that if they will involve to this kind of activity, they should balance their time management in order to not affect their academic performance. In addition, for students who wants to have extra-curricular activities, we recommend that they should prioritize their academics first before other things so that they could not suffer difficulties especially when it comes to projects, assignments and tests.

Book Synopsis The Impact of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports on Attendance Rates and Office Discipline Referrals at the Middle School Level by : Amy Gill
Download or read book The Impact of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports on Attendance Rates and Office Discipline Referrals at the Middle School Level written by Amy Gill and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001, and more recently the College and Career Ready Performance Index, was put into effect, schools felt pressure to increase student achievement and bring up attendance rates in order to make adequate yearly progress or now high index scores. Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a proactive approach that many schools have implemented in an attempt to decrease disruptive student behavior and possibly increase student attendance. The purpose of this quasi-experimental causal comparative study was to examine the impact of the treatment of PBIS, with its basis in behavioral theory, on office discipline referrals and student attendance rates. Data was collected and analyzed for over 2,000 students in rural southeast Georgia through Infinite Campus and PowerSchool. Using data from the 2011-2014 school years, the study attempted to answer if there is an impact on both office discipline referrals and student attendance rates for middle school students participating in PBIS as compared to middle school students not participating in PBIS. Each null hypothesis was analyzed separately using chi-square testing and an independent samples t-test. The results of the study show that there was an impact on attendance rates for the treatment group, but that same impact was not evidenced on office discipline referrals or attendance rates, when controlling for gender. Recommendations for future research include an examination of the factors that contribute to the decline in the impact of PBIS at the middle school level, and the impact of PBIS on different levels of office discipline referrals, office discipline referrals at tier 1, tier 2, and tier 3 separately, and the impact on different levels of absences.

Download or read book Effects of After-school Program Attendance Dosage on Academic Outcomes and Teacher Ratings for Elementary School Children written by Joonsung Joshua Kim and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After school programs have long been studied to evaluate their effects. It is generally agreed upon that high quality programs benefit academic, behavior, and socio-emotional outcomes. However, research has been less clear on the interaction between levels of attendance in the program and such outcomes. The current study used data from southeastern after school programs to evaluate the effects of attendance on academic outcomes and teacher ratings on fourth grade students. The study found the high attendance group only differed from the low attendance group on teacher ratings of improvement in academic performance and improvement in getting along well with others. The results are compared to prior literature and implications for practice and future directions are discussed.
