Findings and Recommendations from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2017 Pilot Study of the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS). Methodological Report. NCES 2019-031

Subjects: National Competency Tests,Middle School Students,Academic Records,Pilot Projects,Course Selection (Students),Feasibility Studies,Urban Schools,Grade 8

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2017 pilot study of the Middle School Transcript Study (MSTS) is the first NAEP transcript study to focus on the middle school level, collect student coursetaking data at the Trial Urban District Assessment (TUDA) level, and rely solely on the electronic submission of course catalogs and student transcripts. The purposes of this pilot study were to evaluate the feasibility of providing middle school student coursetaking data that link to the NAEP assessment data and contextual questionnaire data, to provide coursetaking measures and analyses that focus on issues relevant at the middle school level, and to explore the use of electronic school record collections as the data delivery system for future transcript studies. This pilot study was conducted in three major stages: (1) recruitment; (2) data collection and course coding; and (3) analysis and reporting. It was limited to large urban districts, referred to as the TUDA jurisdictions, to help evaluate and streamline operations for potential future NAEP TUDA-based middle or high school transcript studies, as well as other electronic data-based transcript studies. The participation in this study was strictly voluntary for TUDA jurisdictions. TUDA jurisdictions who volunteered to participate agreed to submit information for all eighth-grade students enrolled in the schools sampled for the NAEP 2017 TUDA-based mathematics and reading assessments.

The Australian education and training system offers a range of education options for young people. This publication provides a summary of statistics relating to young people aged 15 to 19 years who participated in education and training during 2017. Information on participation is presented for school students, VET in Schools students, higher education students, apprenticeship and traineeship commencements, and vocational education and training (VET) students. A snapshot as at August 2017 shows there were 1.5 million Australians aged 15 to 19 years, of which an estimated 82.8% participated in education and training. Table 1 provides an estimate of participation in education and training by Australians aged 15 to 19-years at a point in time--as at August 2017, with duplicate students removed through the assignment of an 'activity' based on a hierarchy. The sectoral tables (tables 2 to 12) provide statistics on the different types of education and training undertaken by all young people (both domestic and international students) during a calendar year. Tables 9 and 10 provide an estimate of the extent and nature of all VET activity undertaken by young people from 2015 to 2017. Tables 11 and 12 present data for government-funded VET activity undertaken by young people from 2013 to 2017. This activity is broadly defined as all Commonwealth and state/territory government-funded training. [For &quot;Young People in Education and Training 2016.

What&apos;s in a Name? The Counter Argument Revisited
Author: Soiferman, L. Karen
Date: 2019-00-00
Type: Reports - Evaluative
Subjects: Persuasive Discourse,Definitions,Discourse Analysis,Essays,Perspective Taking,Debate,Misconceptions

This discussion paper makes the case that the term counter-argument should be replaced with the term &quot;alternative point of view,&quot; as the counter-argument, in an essay, implies that it is the opposite of the argument put forth by the writer, and, in fact, it isn't. It, also, looks at the root of the word counter and how that word is often paired with other words that do not necessarily mean the opposite. The paper goes into depth about why the name should be changed so that students are better able to grasp what their instructors are expecting when they ask them to include a counter-argument in their essay. The lack of understanding about what is meant by the term counter-argument often leads students to question why they have to go against their own argument in their essay. The issue is that presenting the opposite of their stance should not be the purpose of including an alternative point of view in their essays. As long as the words counter-argument are used, students are going to question the validity of including one in their essays. Therefore, I make the case that the name should be changed to &quot;alternative point of view&quot; to better reflect its purpose in an essay.
English Transition Courses in Context: Preparing Students for College Success. CCRC Research Brief
Author: Griffin, Sarah
Date: 2018-11-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Success,College Readiness,Transitional Programs,High School Students,Curriculum Development,English Instruction,Language Arts,Alignment (Education),Career Readiness,Common Core State Standards,Reading Skills,Writing Skills,Dual Enrollment

Transition curricula are courses, learning modules, or online tutorials typically developed jointly by secondary and postsecondary faculty and offered no later than 12th grade to students at risk of being placed into remedial math or English programs in college. Based on interviews and other data, this brief describes key elements of English transition curricula in seven states. In discussing six trends that are salient in the development and implementation of transition curricula, the brief also highlights the different ways that this intervention may serve to help prepare students for college. English transition curricula are usually aligned to rigorous K-12 content standards and tend to emphasize college-level writing skills more than other content areas. Some transition curricula also incorporate contextualized learning, teach nonacademic skills that are valuable for the college setting, and use instructional approaches that are designed to engage students deeply in course material that is relevant to their lives. In some cases, transition curricula may also be used along with other college readiness interventions, such as dual enrollment programs.
