A Brief English Grammar
Author: Scott, Fred Newton
Date: 1905-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: English Instruction,Grammar,Textbooks,Elementary School Students,Teaching Methods,Sentences,Sentence Structure,Form Classes (Languages)

This textbook is an elementary-school English grammar course. Since this book is designed for the pupil rather than for the teacher, all suggestions as to the teaching of English grammar have been conveyed rather by implication than by specific recommendation. The text itself is, however, designed to indicate a general method of presentation, variable in detail at the will of the individual teacher. Each chapter, it will be evident, presents not the material for any fixed number of class recitations, but rather a single subject, divisible according to the available time, the capacity of the students, and other practical considerations. The summary and definitions following each lesson may well be used by the teacher to test the students' knowledge of that subject as a whole. Passages printed in brevier are supplementary and subordinate in importance, and hence may be used or omitted at discretion. The questions and exercises are suggestive merely, inviting both modification and supplement by the teacher. The textbook is in three parts: (1) The Sentence; (2) The Members of the Sentence and the Parts of Speech; and (3) The Modifications of the Parts of Speech.

Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Outcomes of Education,Preschool Education,Family Income,Attendance Patterns,Academic Persistence,Elementary Secondary Education,Special Education,Program Effectiveness,Kindergarten,Language Arts,Mathematics Achievement,Science Achievement,Grade Repetition,Federal Programs,Low Income Students,Social Services

The Arkansas Better Chance (ABC) program longitudinal study (2009-2020) reviews the changing circumstances and outcomes of participation in Pre-K services in Arkansas. The &quot;core comparison&quot; of this study is between ABC participants and students who had no known Pre-K participation but have similar household income levels. The results show that ABC participants generally have better attendance rates in kindergarten, elementary, and secondary school, as well as lower rates of chronic absenteeism, higher persistence, and higher proficiency percentages compared to students of similar socioeconomic status who had no known Pre-K services. The study also reviews the change over time in special education services for ABC participants and examines changes in the type of Pre-K services used as well as changes in meal status designation for kindergarten students.

Consistency of learning behaviors is known to play an important role in learners' engagement in a course and impact their learning outcomes. Despite significant advances in the area of learning analytics (LA) in measuring various self-regulated learning behaviors, using LA to measure consistency of online course engagement patterns remains largely unexplored. This study focuses on modeling consistency of learners in online courses to address this research gap. Toward this, we propose a novel unsupervised algorithm that combines sequence pattern mining and ideas from information retrieval with a clustering algorithm to first extract engagement patterns of learners, represent learners in a vector space of these patterns and finally group them into groups with similar consistency levels. Using clickstream data recorded in a popular learning management system over two offerings of a STEM course, we validate our proposed approach to detect learners that are inconsistent in their behaviors. We find that our method not only groups learners by consistency levels, but also provides reliable instructor support at an early stage in a course.

The paper proposes the use of green IT as a tool for designing a cloud-oriented sustainable learning environment for a higher education institution. The article substantiates the expediency of designing such an environment as a prerequisite for the sustainable development of Ukraine. It is established that one of the goals of Ukraine's sustainable development for 2030 is to provide fair quality education and to promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. Green IT is a set of approaches related to sustainable computing and information technology. The work of foreign scientists was analyzed, which considered the issues of designing the learning environment using green computing. As a result, Cloud LMS has been established that cloud LMS is a type of green IT and can serve as a tool for designing a cloud-oriented sustainable learning environment of a higher education institution. A model of a cloud-oriented sustainable learning environment of a higher education institution using cloud LMS is proposed. The application of a cloud-oriented sustainable learning environment will provide such capabilities: keep electronic journals; use on-line services; conduct correspondence, assessment of knowledge on-line; and more. And all of the above is the key to a sustainable development of the learning environment. [Paper presented at ICSF (2020).]

Temperament in the Early Elementary Classroom: Implications for Practice
Author: Sealy, Martinique Ann
Date: 2021-00-00
Type: Reports - Evaluative
Subjects: Elementary School Students,Primary Education,Personality Traits,Elementary School Teachers,Classroom Environment,Student Needs,Social Emotional Learning,Self Control,Intervention,Faculty Development,Parent Education,Early Childhood Education,Student Behavior

Temperament is a contextual and biological trait that influences how an individual interacts with the environment. Although scholars have organized and prioritized different dimensions of temperament, in this chapter we focus on temperament dimensions that are most salient to--and how they are exhibited in--early childhood classrooms. Temperament continues to be an important topic in early childhood classrooms because it is both important for children learning to manage their social emotional competence, which relates to long-term academic success and positive mental health, and for teachers to develop classroom management skills that provide a positive climate for an array of children and temperament types. After introducing the notion of temperament, we describe how teachers may create environments and react to children in ways that support child temperament. Finally, &quot;INSIGHTS into Children's Temperament,&quot; an empirically based social-emotional intervention, will be introduced. This intervention focuses on how children's temperament unfolds in the classroom and how the adults in children's lives can create &quot;goodness-of-fit&quot; for optimal outcomes.

Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Equal Education,Educational Equity (Finance),Educational Finance,COVID-19,Pandemics,Federal Aid,Emergency Programs,Resource Allocation,Educational Policy,State Aid,Student Needs,Economically Disadvantaged

The COVID-19 crisis has disrupted education for all students, but has hit students from vulnerable and systemically neglected populations hardest. Beyond interruptions to instruction, many of these students face food insecurity, unreliable access to remote learning technology, reduced access to student supports and education services, and housing uncertainty. In response to these crises, the federal government is providing an additional $125 billion to states and school districts through the American Recovery Plan Act (ARP). State leaders must target these new resources to the students who need it most and leverage this federal investment to drive significant change in the education system. The authors provide these state recommendations as a collaboration of nine organizations seeking to advance educational equity. Specifically, they are focused on policy that transforms systems to better serve and support improved outcomes for the most vulnerable students.

The Doctrine of Proportion, Arithmetical and Geometrical. Together with a General Method of Arguing by Proportional Quantities
Author: Emerson, W.
Date: 1763-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Arithmetic,Geometry,Mathematics Instruction,Textbooks,Teaching Methods

Since all manner of quantities require to be compared together, in mathematical computations, and their various relations searched out and determined and as most of our knowledge in mathematical subjects depends on the proportions of several things to one another: so it is requisite that the nature of proportion, and the methods of reasoning thereby be distinctly laid down and well understood. It is a method of reasoning so very short, subtle, solid, and certain, and likewise so useful in all parts of the mathematics, that it is impossible to make the least progress without it. It is the marrow of the mathematics, and the very soul of geometry and geometrical reasoning. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that every one who expects to succeed in his mathematical studies, should make himself acquainted with the nature of reasoning with proportional quantities, and become ready and quick in the use thereof. Section 1 treats of arithmetical proportion and progression, Section 2 of geometrical proportion, and Section 3 of general proportions. Following those three sections, this volume also contains Books I-VIII of &quot;The Elements of Geometry.&quot;

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,Teaching Methods,United States History,Land Settlement,Immigrants,Colonialism,Governance,Self Determination,Federal Government

It is the purpose of the author of this work to give to the Youth of the country, as well as general readers, a condensed History of the United States of America; embracing all important facts connected with the discovery and early occupation of the country, within their limits, by immigrants from other lands; together with the facts attending the formation of their Governments, and the establishment of those free institutions which have so marked, as well as distinguished them, among the nations of the earth. In the prosecution of this design, the first object will be, after a brief presentation of the facts attending the discovery of the continent of America, to trace, during their Colonial condition, the History of each one of the separate political Communities known as British Colonies thereon, which afterwards became united under the style of the United States of America, and then to trace the History of these States, so united under their existing Union, down to the present time. The first part of the work will be the History of the Colonies, which will treat of the discovery, the early settlement, and colonization of the country by the ancestors of the present inhabitants, and the events which led to the assumption of sovereign or absolute self-governing powers by the respective Colonies. The second part will be the History of the States, which treat of the achievement and establishment of their independence as States, and their subsequent career under their present Federal Union.
Changes between 2011 and 2019 in Achievement Gaps between High- and Low-Performing Students in Mathematics and Science: International Results from TIMSS. Stats in Brief. NCES 2022-041

Subjects: Educational Change,Achievement Gap,High Achievement,Low Achievement,Mathematics Achievement,Science Achievement,Achievement Tests,Elementary Secondary Education,Foreign Countries,International Assessment,Mathematics Tests,Science Tests,Grade 4,Grade 8,Trend Analysis

This Statistics in Brief (SiB) uses data from the 2011 and 2019 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), and explores how achievement gaps between high- and low-performing 4th- and 8th-grade students in the U.S. and other education systems have changed over time. Achievement gaps are defined as the differences in scores between students at the 90th percentile of performance (high-performing) and those at the 10th percentile of performance (low-performing); they are also known as &quot;score gaps.&quot; The SiB focuses on two questions for each grade and subject: (1) In which education systems did score gaps between high- and low-performing students change (widen or narrow) between 2011 and 2019? (2) Is the widening or narrowing of score gaps between 2011 and 2019 driven primarily by changes in the scores of high-performing students, low-performing students, or both?
A Primer of Health: For Primary Classes with Special Reference to the Effects of Alcoholic Drinks and Tobacco upon the Human System
Author: Stowell, Charles H.
Date: 1893-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Health Education,Drinking,Smoking,Diseases,Hygiene,Health Behavior,Knowledge Level,Moral Values,Textbooks,Elementary School Students,Anatomy,Physiology

This textbook is designed as a pupil's book for use in the primary grades of schools, both public and private. It is so written that the subject-matter can be read and understood by pupils who are able to read well. While stating in simple language some elementary facts in anatomy and physiology, especial attention has been given to rules for the preservation of health. A careful search for the cause of the physical ills of adult life reveals the fact that much of the suffering is the result of repeated violations of hygienic laws early in life. It is no mitigation of these ills that the laws are violated through ignorance; but the fact that most of the violations occur from lack of knowledge furnishes a potent reason for training the young with great care. By earnestly presenting the simple truths as laid down in the text of this little book, teachers can exert an influence for good which will be both valuable and permanent. The reward of such effort will be the highest, the development of a wiser, more temperate, and more moral people.
A Review of High-School Mathematics
Author: Reeve, William David
Date: 1915-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,High School Students,Mathematics Instruction,Teaching Methods,Algebra,Required Courses,College Admission,Standards

This textbook furnishes abundant material for an intelligent review of the mathematics given in a large number of high schools, and it is the hope of the authors that other teachers may find the book useful in the hands of their pupils. The first-year review is intended to cover the work ordinarily done in the first-year mathematics course of the average high school. Similarly, the second-year outline furnishes a thorough review of the work usually given in that year. The third-year review covers the ordinary course in intermediate algebra and, with what precedes, meets college-entrance requirements. The authors have placed at the end of the book an outline of a tentative minimum course for one and one-half years of mathematics in the effort to initiate a plan for the standardization of high-school mathematics.

Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Foreign Countries,Values,College Administration,Administrator Attitudes,Gender Differences,Age Differences,Experience,Intellectual Disciplines,Deans,Department Heads,Femininity,Masculinity,Individualism,Collectivism,Power Structure,Social Systems

The purpose of this study was to determine the managerial and cultural values adopted by managers working in universities and whether these values differ according to gender, age, professional experience, managerial experience, and their faculties. This study was conducted as a survey. The participants of this study were composed of 100 deans, vice deans, and heads of departments in Afyon Kocatepe University. Study data were collected using the Managerial and Cultural Values Adopted by the Managers Scale developed by Turan, Durceylan and Sisman (2005). This study showed that university managers adopted feminine values more commonly, were closer to a collectivist value dimension, the power distance was higher, and ambiguity avoidance was lower.
Becoming a Social Justice Educator through Critical Action. Equity Dispatch. Volume 3, Issue 2
Author: Moore, Tammera S.
Date: 2019-01-00
Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Social Justice,Advocacy,Role Models,Transformative Learning,Social Change,Teacher Role

The manner in which educators engage in social justice advocacy is important not only to support societal changes but also as role models for students who are finding their own agency in social activism. Systemic and transformative change towards equity only happens when individuals are willing and courageous enough to engage in difficult conversations about power, privilege, positionality, and the historical nature of oppression towards marginalized groups. In this Equity Dispatch newsletter, we discuss the critical components of authentic social justice advocacy and how educators can engage in this advocacy toward transformational systemic change toward equity.
