Measuring up to the Model: A Ranking of State Public Charter School Laws. Thirteenth Edition
Author: Ziebarth, Todd
Date: 2022-01-00
Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: State Legislation,Educational Legislation,Public Schools,Charter Schools,Comparative Analysis,Educational Change,Evaluation

This report is the thirteenth annual state charter school laws rankings report produced by the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools. In each report, they analyze, score, and rank each state's charter school law against their model charter school law. The purpose is to determine which states have created the statutory and regulatory environments that best support high-quality public charter schools. The 2022 rankings reflect the continued steps many states took in 2021 to strengthen their laws and foster a landscape of high-quality charter public schools that have a positive impact on students.

Natural Language Processing as a Technique for Conducting Text-Based Research

Research in discourse processing has provided us with a strong foundation for understanding the characteristics of text and discourse, as well as their influence on our processing and representation of texts. However, recent advances in computational techniques have allowed researchers to examine discourse processes in new ways. The purpose of the current paper is to build on prior work in this domain and describe how new methodologies that consider the multi-dimensional nature of texts can serve as a complement to the existing literature. We focus on natural language processing (NLP) methodologies, in which computers calculate information about the linguistic and semantic properties of language data. We first provide a context for the origins of computational discourse analysis through the integration of research across computer science and psychology. We then provide an overview of different NLP methodologies and describe prior work that has leveraged these techniques to advance theoretical perspectives of discourse comprehension and production. Finally, we propose new areas of research that integrate these advances with traditional research methodologies in the field.

An Optimality-Theoretic Analysis of Word-Stress: Evidence from Moroccan-English Interlanguage

This paper intends to provide an Optimality-theoretic analysis of word-stress learnability among Moroccan learners of English. Language acquisition, from an Optimality Theory perspective, is a process of reordering the constraints from an initial state of the grammar to the language-specific ranking of the target grammar. To account for stress development, this paper makes use of Constraint Demotion Algorithm (Tesar &amp; Smolensky, 1996; 2000) which learners adopt to infer the correct hierarchy of constraints. Starting with a default hierarchy supplied by Universal Grammar, learners proceed with recursive demotion of higher-ranked constraints until the correct ranking is reached. The algorithm, starting by initializing the hierarchy, assumes that constraints are unranked, and thus hosted in the same stratum. Sixty Moroccan learners, who have some basic background in linguistics, participated in the study. The informants are third-year students at university. They were administered an oral multiple-choice test that elicited their intuition about English stress pattern. The overall findings of the study reveal that learners' prior (L1) ranking (ALIGNHD-R &gt;&gt; WSP &gt;&gt;NONFIN &gt;&gt; FT-TYPE[subscript IAMB]&gt;&gt;Ft-BIN&gt;&gt; PARSE-[sigma] &gt;&gt; Ft-TYPE[subscript TROC]) influences their learnability of English stress. That is, Moroccan learners misplace stress in English words due to the initial state of their grammar. What follows shows the constraints demotion learners go through to reach the optimized stress pattern of English: (1) Initial stratum = {Ft-TYPETROC} &gt;&gt;; (2) Stratum 1 ={NONFIN} &gt;&gt;; (3) Stratum 2={WSP} &gt;&gt;; (4) Stratum 3 ={FT-BIN, ALIGNHD-R} &gt;&gt;; (5) Stratum 4 ={PARSE-[sigma]} &gt;&gt;; and (6) Stratum 5 ={FT-TYPE[subscript IAMB]}.
The Consequences of Remote and Hybrid Instruction during the Pandemic. Working Paper No. 267-0522

Using testing data from 2.1 million students in 10,000 schools in 49 states (plus D.C.), we investigate the role of remote and hybrid instruction in widening gaps in achievement by race and school poverty. We find that remote instruction was a primary driver of widening achievement gaps. Math gaps did not widen in areas that remained in-person (although there was some widening in reading gaps in those areas). We estimate that high-poverty districts that went remote in 2020-21 will need to spend nearly all of their federal aid on academic recovery to help students recover from pandemic-related achievement losses.

(Mis)Understanding Students: Approaches to Affirming Student Identities

As institutions seek to improve their structures, processes, and policies, a holistic lens--one that takes into account students' intersecting identities and differences in lived experiences--is required. &quot;(Mis)Understanding Students,&quot; updated in 2022, is a resource from the Advising Success Network and NASPA - Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education that offers resources and questions to consider for institutional leaders looking to reflect on their unique student population. Synthesizing learnings from interviews with practitioners in the field of higher education and the student affairs profession and an examination of existing scholarship, the guide offers a national, field-level context for this moment in time. Institutional leaders can draw upon the guide's key principles for learning about students with a more holistic and intersectional lens, as well as common misunderstandings about student identities. Considerations presented in this resource can help inform approaches to identifying institutional systems and practices that cause harm to students and campus communities. While the guide has relevance for understanding students broadly, it primarily focuses on a limited number of student identities, namely those related to: race and ethnicity, socioeconomic status, social class, first-generation status, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, religion, immigration status, veteran status, and involvement with the carceral system.

The Appearance of Coherence: Using Cohesive Properties of Readers&apos; Constructed Responses to Predict Individual Differences

Date: 2021-00-00
Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Reading Comprehension,Individual Differences,Protocol Analysis,Literary Genres,Rhetoric,Reader Response,Predictor Variables,Connected Discourse,Short Term Memory,Reading Skills,College Students

Successful text comprehension requires readers to engage in a number of coherence-building processes. This study examined how analyzing the cohesion of students 'constructed responses can be used to evaluate these coherence-building processes and the extent to which they vary across readers' individual differences and across types of texts. We posed two primary research questions: (1) Can we predict individual differences in working memory and reading skill based on the cohesion of students' constructed responses to text?; and (2) Do the relations between individual differences and cohesion vary as a function of genre? Participants (n = 119) generated constructed responses while reading history and science texts and completed reading skill and working memory assessments. The current study leveraged natural language processing (NLP) techniques to analyze the cohesion of readers' constructed responses, using cohesion as a proxy for assessing the coherence of their mental representations of the texts. Cohesion was measured at the sentence, paragraph, and synonym levels. Machine learning models showed that linguistic indices related to cohesion were significant predictors of both working memory and reading skill. Additional quantitative and qualitative inspection revealed that the relations between individual differences and coherence-building processes varied depending on the text's genre. These findings indicate that the interaction between genre and individual differences may be used to model coherence-building processes during reading.
