Monitoring the Future (MTF), now in its 40th year, is a research program conducted at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research under a series of investigator-initiated research grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse--one of the National Institutes of Health. The study comprises several ongoing series of annual surveys of nationally representative samples of 8th- and 10th-grade students (begun in 1991), 12th-grade students (begun in 1975), and high school graduates into adulthood (begun in 1976). The current monograph reports the results of the repeated cross-sectional surveys of high school graduates since 1976 as we follow them into their adult years. Segments of the general adult population represented in these follow-up surveys include: (1) American college students; (2) Their age-peers who are not attending college, sometimes called the &quot;forgotten half&quot;' (3) All young adult high school graduates of modal ages 19 to 30 (or 19-28 for trend estimates), which are referred to as the &quot;young adult&quot; sample; and (4) High school graduates at the specific later modal ages of 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55. In this volume, historical and developmental changes in substance abuse and related attitudes and beliefs occurring at these age strata receive particular emphasis. The follow-up surveys have been conducted by mail on representative sub samples of the previous participants from each high school senior class. This volume presents data from the 1977 through 2014 follow-up surveys of the graduating high school classes of 1976 through 2013, as these respondents have progressed into adulthood. The oldest MTF respondents, from the class of 1977, were the first to be surveyed through age 55 in 2013. Other monographs in this series include the &quot;Overview of Key Findings, which presents earlyresults from the secondary school surveys; Volume I, which provides an in-depth look at the secondary school survey results; and the HIV/AIDS monograph, drawn from the follow-up surveys of 21- to 40-year-olds, which focuses on risk and protective behaviors among young adults related to the transmission of HIV/AIDS. To enable the present volume to stand alone, much of Chapters 2 and 3 from Volume I have been repeated. Chapter 2 provides a summary of key findings from five of the populations under study (8th graders, 10th graders, 12th graders, college students, and young adults). Chapter 3 outlines the study design and procedures. [For &quot;Monitoring the Future National Survey Results on Drug Use, 1975-2014. Volume 1, Secondary School Students,&quot; see ED578369.]
Academic Literacy Instruction for Adolescents: A Guidance Document from the Center on Instruction

Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Adolescents,Literacy Education,Content Area Reading,Content Area Writing,English Language Learners,Reading Difficulties,Special Classes,Reading Skills,Expertise,Educational Improvement,Teaching Methods,Annotated Bibliographies,State Standards,Reading Improvement,Direct Instruction,Reading Comprehension,Discussion (Teaching Technique),Standards,Student Motivation,Student Participation,Concept Formation,Intervention,Reading Fluency,Vocabulary,Evidence Based Practice,Oral Language,Elementary Secondary Education

This document was prepared to assist literacy specialists in the national Regional Comprehensive Center network as they work with states to improve educational policy and practice in the area of adolescent literacy. It comprises three major parts: Part One: &quot;Improving academic literacy instruction for students in grades 4-12.&quot; Based on current research in adolescent literacy, this part discusses recommendations to improve literacy instruction in the content areas (e.g., science, social studies, history, literature), instructional recommendations for English language learners, and critical elements of instruction for special reading classes with struggling readers. It addresses three critical goals for academic literacy instruction with adolescents: (1) to improve overall levels of reading proficiency; (2) to (at least) maintain grade level reading skills from the end of third grade through high school; and (3) to accelerate the reading development of students reading below grade level. Part Two: &quot;Advice from experts about improving academic literacy instruction for adolescents.&quot; Eight experts with extensive experience conducting research on adolescent literacy were asked to respond to four questions about methods for improving adolescent literacy from the perspective of school- and state-level policy recommendations. They were asked to address both literacy instruction in the content areas and recommendations for struggling readers; they were also asked to recommend additional readings related to these questions. An annotated bibliography of their responses is included. Part Three: &quot;Examples of state activities in support of improved adolescent literacy instruction.&quot; This part describes specific activities four states have adopted to improve adolescent literacy, placing the targeted activities in the broader context of each state's efforts to support improved reading instruction. Contact information for each state is included.

Professional development sessions are parts of a coherent, focused program designed to elicit a specific outcome. A systematic professional development plan for reading: (1) prepares teachers in all of the essential components of reading instruction; (2) provides information on instructional materials, programs, and strategies based on scientific reading research; (3) enhances teachers' ability to implement early intervention and remediation programs; and (4) facilitates the use of assessment data to inform instruction and meet the needs of all students, especially struggling readers. This report presents getting started on designing a systematic professional development plan for reading.

Education is closely linked with economic outcomes. This report highlights key trends in educational attainment among rural Americans and the relationship between educational attainment and economic prosperity for rural people and places. Rural Americans are increasingly educated, but gains in educational attainment vary across demographic groups. Rural women are increasingly more highly educated than rural men, and educational attainment among rural Whites is higher than that of racial and ethnic minorities in rural areas. Compared with urban areas, rural areas are lagging in the share of adults with college degrees. Urban areas continue to offer employment and earnings advantages (relative to rural areas) for workers with college degrees. For rural counties, low educational attainment is closely related to higher poverty and child poverty rates as well as higher unemployment rates.

Monitoring the Future (MTF) is a long-term study of American adolescents, college students, and adult high school graduates through age 55. It has been conducted annually by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research since its inception in 1975 and is supported under a series of investigator-initiated, competitive research grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The 2016 MTF survey involved about 45,500 students in 8th-, 10th-, and 12th grades enrolled in 372 secondary schools nationwide. The first published results based on the 2016 survey are presented in this report. The report begins with a synopsis of the design and methods used in the study and an overview of the key results from the 2016 survey. A separate section for each individual drug class is then provided, including figures that show trends in the overall proportions of students at each grade level (1) using the drug; (2) seeing a &quot;great risk&quot; associated with its use (perceived risk); (3) disapproving of its use (disapproval); and (4) saying that it would be &quot;fairly easy&quot; or &quot;very easy&quot; to get if they wanted to (perceived availability). For 12th graders, annual data are available since 1975 and for 8th and 10th graders since 1991, the first year they were included in the study. [For the 2015 edition of this report, see ED578539.]

This occasional paper presents subgroup findings from the Monitoring the Future (MTF) study on levels of and trends in the use of a number of substances for nationally representative samples of high school graduates ages 19-30. The data have been gathered in a series of follow-up surveys of representative subsamples of high school seniors who were first surveyed in 12th grade as part of the MTF study. Therefore, the universe being described omits people who did not complete high school--between 9-15% of each age group, with the most recent class cohorts closer to the bottom of that range. Surveys of the graduating cohorts of high school seniors started in 1976 and have continued with each graduating class since. Data were first available for the 19-22 age group in 1980 and for the older age groups in subsequent years, as the tables and figures in this occasional paper indicate. The general epidemiological findings from these samples are contained in &quot;Volume II&quot; of the annual monograph series. The subgroup trends shown in the current occasional paper complement the last section of Chapter 5 (Trends in Drug Use in Early and Middle Adulthood) of that monograph by presenting the trend data for young adult subgroups in both graphic and tabular form. The results are described and discussed in Chapter 5, but the extensive set of tables and figures is provided here for the reader who wishes to view the figures and the underlying numerical values. Three demographic dimensions are differentiated: gender, region of the country, and population density. Gender includes trends for males and females, region describes trends for each of the four major regions defined by the U.S. Census, and population density differentiates trends for five levels of urbanicity. The Table of Contents and List of Figures are actively linked to the content and figures in this occasional paper. Following each figure is a table giving the numerical values associated with each trend line in that figure. [For &quot;Monitoring the Future National Survey Results on Drug Use, 1975-2013.

This occasional paper presents national demographic subgroup trends for U.S. secondary school students in a series of figures and tables. It supplements two of four annual monographs from the Monitoring the Future (MTF) study, namely the &quot;Overview of Key Findings&quot; and &quot;Volume I: Secondary School Students.&quot; MTF is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse under a series of investigator-initiated, competitive research grants. The full 2013 survey results are reported in &quot;Monitoring the Future National Survey Results on Drug Use, 1975-2013: Volume I, Secondary School Students.&quot; That monograph contains a description of MTF's design and purposes, as well as extended reporting on substance use of all kinds, licit and illicit, and a number of related factors such as attitudes and beliefs about drugs, age of initiation, non-continuation of drug use, perceived availability, relevant conditions in the social environment, history of daily marijuana use, use of drugs for the treatment of ADHD, and sources of prescription drugs used outside of medical supervision. Until 2012, &quot;Volume I&quot; contained the tabular data on trends in drug use for various demographic subgroups that are now presented in the present occasional paper. The trends offered here in tabular form and graphic form--the latter for ease of comprehension--cover demographic subgroups based on: (1) gender; (2) college plans; (3) region of the country; (4) population density; (5) education level of the parents (a proxy for socioeconomic level); and (6) racial/ethnic identification. Detailed descriptions of the demographic categories are provided in a separate chapter. The graphs and tables in this occasional paper present trend data for 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-grade respondents. Data for 12th grade begins with 1975, the first year in which a nationally representative sample of high school seniors was surveyed. Data for 8th and 10th grades begin with 1991, when the study's annual surveys were expanded to include those grade levels.

Monitoring the Future (MTF) is a long-term study of American adolescents, college students, and adults through age 55. It has been conducted annually by the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research since its inception in 1975 and is supported under a series of investigator-initiated, competing research grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The 2013 MTF survey encompassed about 41,700 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-grade students in 389 secondary schools nationwide. The first published results are presented in this report. Recent trends in the use of licit and illicit drugs are emphasized, as well as trends in the levels of perceived risk and personal disapproval associated with each drug. This project has shown these beliefs and attitudes to be particularly important in explaining trends in use. In addition, trends in the perceived availability of each drug are presented. The report begins with a synopsis of the design and methods used in the study and an overview of the key results from the 2013 survey. This is followed by a separate section for each individual drug class, providing figures that show trends in the overall proportions of students at each grade level (1) using the drug; (2) seeing a &quot;great risk&quot; associated with its use (perceived risk); (3) disapproving of its use (disapproval); and (4) saying that it would be fairly or very easy to get if they wanted to (perceived availability). For 12th graders, annual data are available since 1975 and for 8th and 10th graders since 1991, the first year they were included in the study.

Monitoring the Future (MTF) is a research program conducted at the University of Michigan's Institute for Social Research under a series of investigator-initiated research grants from the National Institute on Drug Abuse--one of the National Institutes of Health. The study comprises several ongoing series of annual surveys of nationally representative samples of 8th- and 10th-grade students (begun in 1991), 12th-grade students (begun in 1975), and high school graduates into adulthood (begun in 1976). The current monograph reports the results of the repeated cross-sectional surveys of high school graduates since 1976 as researchers follow them into their adult years. Several segments of the general adult population are represented in these follow-up surveys: (1) American college students; (2) their age peers who are not attending college, sometimes called the &quot;forgotten half&quot;; (3) all young adult high school graduates of modal ages 19 to 30, which are referred to as the &quot;young adult&quot; sample; and (4) high school graduates at the specific later modal ages of 35, 40, 45, 50, and 55. In this volume, historical and developmental changes in substance abuse and related attitudes and beliefs occurring at these age strata receive particular emphasis. The follow-up surveys have been conducted by mail on representative subsamples of the previous participants from each high school senior class. This volume presents data from the 1977 through 2013 follow-up surveys of the graduating high school classes of 1976 through 2012, as these respondents have progressed beyond high school and into adulthood. Data for the oldest respondents now extend through age 55 (the class of 1976) and are included for the first time in the 2013 survey. An index is included.
