At Zane State, guided pathways has served as a framework for bringing multiple changes together to support student success. The college has placed particular emphasis on helping students enter and stay on a program path by connecting them to faculty and advisors called success coaches from the start. A focus on early engagement and onboarding is central to several of the college's major reform efforts, including the adoption of case management advising and the redesign of the college's first-year experience (FYE) course and new student orientation. This case study examines that since implementing guided pathways reforms, Zane State has seen improvements in several key measures of student success.

Mathematics Self-Taught. The Lu¨bsen Method: For Self-Instruction, and Use in the Problems of Practical Life. I--Arithmetic and Algebra
Author: Lu¨bsen, H. B.
Date: 1897-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,Mathematics Instruction,Teaching Methods,Arithmetic,Algebra,Independent Study,Translation,German

This textbook aims to present the mathematical sciences in clear, everyday language for apprentices, students and mechanics--willing, industrious, anxious to study at home, yet unable to give time or money for professional teaching. It is trusted that this effort to place before English-speaking students a treatise on arithmetic and algebra, freed from technicalities and expressed in simple language, will assist many who are compelled to study alone; and perhaps it may not be found unwelcome to some who wish to &quot;brush up&quot; their rusty mathematical information, acquired long ago under scholastic methods, and not improved by years of disuse. The writer's share in the work has been something more than that of mere translation. Many new examples have been added, and some bearing solely upon European practice have been omitted. [Adapted from the German by Henry Harrison Suplee.]

We Look About Us. Pathways in Science I: A Course for Elementary Schools
Author: Craig, Gerald S.
Date: 1933-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,Science Instruction,Elementary School Science,Grade 1

This textbook is the first book in the series Pathways in Science. It is planned to meet the needs of young children who are &quot;looking about,&quot; touching, manipulating, experimenting, and asking questions. The stories are for the most part actual records of the experiences of real children. The material represents a wide range of interests, many of which are given further consideration in the later books of this series. In each case the aspect of the experience which is most vital and significant at this stage of the child's development is emphasized. The child's learning, as should always be the case, is the result of &quot;thinking through&quot; a problem with the guidance of a teacher. For the most part the experiences recorded in these stories can be duplicated in any school and special care has been taken to keep the text within the reading ability of first-grade children.

Beauty School Debt and Drop-Outs: How State Cosmetology Licensing Fails Aspiring Beauty Workers
Author: Menjou, Mindy
Date: 2021-07-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Cosmetology,Certification,Dropouts,Debt (Financial),State Licensing Boards,Paying for College,Program Length,Time to Degree,School Holding Power,Income,Student Financial Aid

Cosmetology is one of the most widely and onerously regulated occupations for lower-income workers, yet little research has explored the experiences of aspiring beauty workers. This first-of-its-kind study takes advantage of federal educational data--including a large, and largely untapped, dataset on nondegree credentials and work experience programs--to find out what it looks like to complete the education required for cosmetology licensing. Key findings include: (1) State-mandated cosmetology school is expensive and time-consuming; (2) Cosmetology programs do a poor job of graduating students on time--or even at all; and (3) Cosmetology school rarely pays off in terms of earnings. We also find that state licensing requirements, and not health and safety, are likely the reason cosmetology school takes so long. These findings suggest the current system of state cosmetology licensing is a failed model of professional development that mainly transfers wealth from students and taxpayers to cosmetology schools. State lawmakers should consider alternatives that can protect the public without unnecessarily holding back people trying to enter the field.
Beauty School Debt and Drop-Outs: How Utah Cosmetology Licensing Fails Aspiring Beauty Workers

Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Cosmetology,Debt (Financial),Dropouts,Certification,Student Experience,Paying for College,State Licensing Boards,Program Length,Time to Degree,School Holding Power,Income,Student Financial Aid

A January 2021 executive order requires Utah executive agencies to identify occupational regulations that are no longer necessary or can be reined in to reduce barriers to entry. One regulation that should be on the table is cosmetology licensing. This policy brief draws on a national study to explore the experiences of people pursuing cosmetology careers in Utah. Key findings include: (1) State-mandated cosmetology school is expensive and time-consuming; (2) Utah cosmetology programs do a poor job of graduating students on time--or even at all; (3) Cosmetology school rarely pays off in terms of earnings; and (4) Our data suggest Utah's licensing requirements are the reason cosmetology school takes so long. Together, these findings suggest cosmetology licensing fails aspiring beauty workers in the Beehive State; instead, licensing primarily serves to transfer wealth from students and taxpayers to cosmetology schools. Utah policymakers should take a hard look at whether licensing is the proper way to regulate cosmetology.

Type: Information Analyses
Subjects: Evaluation Methods,Electronic Learning,Adult Students,In Person Learning,Correctional Education,Equivalency Tests,High School Equivalency Programs,Computer Assisted Testing

In general, for teachers to prepare to teach, run a class, and assess student work, they need a class with students, well-structured courses, and an assessment to measure student progress. Teachers should be prepared to use traditional and virtual settings for a successful classroom. Teachers should also use three knowledge-learning objectives, declarative, procedural, and problem-solving. A literature review was conducted to determine their relevance to this study. Analysis revealed that research supported using the three learning objectives and virtual and traditional classroom settings.

Primer of Physiology and Hygiene: A Text-Book for Primary Classes, with Special Reference to the Effects of Stimulants and Narcotics on the Human System. Physiology Primer
Author: Smith, William Thayer
Date: 1885-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Physiology,Hygiene,Textbooks,Narcotics,Human Body,Stimulants,Elementary Education

This textbook provides the foundation for a course on physiology and hygiene. In studying the body, it is very desirable that the scholar should, as far as possible, see and handle the parts described. Children especially can learn much more readily in this way than from any description. A dissection of a cat or dog or rabbit, illustrating the lessons, will make the text clear, and fix the essential facts in the mind. Or, if this can not be done, pieces of muscle and of cartilage, joints and bones, a heart, the lungs, a liver, an eye, and other organs, can be obtained from the butcher, to serve the same purpose. The apparatus mentioned in illustration of the action of organs--the bellows, the syringe, and others that may occur to the teacher--should be shown. Models and plates are also valuable. A few clear ideas of the structure and functions of the body will be worth much more to the children than many details imperfectly understood. On the subject of stimulants and narcotics, the author has endeavored to make no statements which are not susceptible of positive proof, and to present only facts which children are capable of appreciating. Much more might be said which does not come within the province of such a work as this. A glossary is included.

Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Spelling,Teaching Methods,Phonics,Phoneme Grapheme Correspondence,Word Recognition,Teaching Guides,Language Usage,Grade 1,Elementary School Students,Singing,Alphabets,Reading Aloud to Others,Reading Instruction

This Manual provides the foundation for a reading and spelling course which avoids use of the phonic method. Instead of teaching the word as a whole and afterward subjecting it to phonic analysis, this Synthetic Method takes the sounds of the letters for the starting point, and with these sounds lay a foundation firm and broad, upon which is built whole families of words for instant recognition. The method may be taught by the printed letters or by script, with the preference for the former. The design of the Manual is to guide the inexperienced teacher in her daily work. The simplest language has been chosen; such expressions as she would use in explaining to first grade pupils. Includes the explanatory manual; &quot;The Johnny Story,&quot; to be read aloud and associate the sounds of the letters with objects suggested in the story; Songs; and Suggestions for First Grades and for Higher Grades.

These are the appendixes for the report, &quot;English Proficiency and the Pandemic: How Texas English Learner Students Fared during the COVID-19 Pandemic. REL 2023-144.&quot; This study examined levels of English proficiency before and during the COVID-19 pandemic among English learner students in grades 3-12 in Texas. In 2020-2021, nearly 750,000 students in grades 3-12--approximately one in five Texas students--were English learner students. In accordance with Texas state law and the Every Student Succeeds Act, English proficiency is measured annually using a statewide assessment, the Texas English Language Proficiency Assessment System (TELPAS), which assesses English learner students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English. This study focused on TELPAS scores among students who took the test in 2020-2021 and compared those scores with a matched cohort of similar students from 2018-2019. Three appendixes are included in this document: (1) Methodology; (2) Supporting tables; and (3) Supplemental analyses. [For the full report, see ED623461.]
