Career and College Readiness for Underserved Youth: Educator and Youth Perspectives
Author: Lindstrom, Lauren
Date: 2020-00-00
Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: High School Students,High School Teachers,Disproportionate Representation,College Readiness,Career Readiness,Attitudes,Career Development,Career Guidance

The purpose of this study was to solicit perspectives of underserved youth and educators who serve them regarding college and career readiness. In this study, underserved youth refers to adolescents who experience inequitable access to educational resources. Purposeful sampling was used to select 84 focus group participants including educators and high school students (9-12th grade). Utilizing grounded theory analysis, focus group data revealed findings in three key categories. First, participants defined readiness as specific career knowledge and skills to develop concrete actionable post-school plans. Second, perceived barriers such as limited availability of career preparation experiences and challenging life circumstances combined to deter youth from fully realizing their college and career potential. Third, providing a broad array of career related learning activities, coupled with the presence of trusted adults who serve as mentors and guides, can create capacity for young people to expand career options and postsecondary opportunities.

This is the final report of an independent evaluation of the CompuPower program that was developed by Arizona State University's Center for Gender Equity in Science and Technology (ASU CGEST). CompuPower is a multifaceted program for high school students that is centered on a culturally responsive computing course that includes four key components: the CompuPower course curriculum, mentor teacher professional development, a multi-day CompuPower Residency Experience, and a series of parent workshops. The evaluation of the CompuPower program was funded with a development grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Investing in Innovation (i3) program and carried out by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) over the 2019-20 and 2020-21 school years in nine mostly rural high schools. The evaluation employed a quasi-experimental matched comparison design to estimate the impact of CompuPower on one confirmatory student social emotional outcome--self-regulation--and two exploratory outcomes--critical thinking skills in everyday life and grade point average. The evaluation also assessed the implementation fidelity of the four key CompuPower program components. Across the four program components, only the mentor teacher professional development was implemented with fidelity. Most implementation challenges for the other three program components resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic, but there were other challenges as well. CompuPower students showed slightly higher scores on self-regulation, critical thinking skills in everyday life, and GPA measures than comparison group students, but the differences were not statistically significant.
The Effects of Dynamic Strategic Math on English Language Learners&apos; Word Problem Solving
Author: Orosco, Michael J.

Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: English Language Learners,Problem Solving,Mathematics Instruction,Intervention,Word Problems (Mathematics),Instructional Effectiveness,Hispanic American Students,At Risk Students,Academic Failure,Learning Disabilities,Comparative Analysis,Grade 2,Elementary School Students,Mathematical Concepts,Teaching Methods,Mathematics Tests,Validity,Mathematics Skills,Interrater Reliability,Reading Comprehension,Feedback (Response)

English language learners (ELLs) struggle with solving word problems for a number of reasons beyond math procedures or calculation challenges. As a result, ELLs may not only need math support but also reading and linguistic support. The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of a math comprehension strategy called Dynamic Strategic Math (DSM) on word problem solving for Latino ELLs. The strategy provides performance-contingent feedback based on the student's reading and language comprehension level. A multiple baseline design was used to assess 6 second-grade Latino ELLs at risk for math failure/math disability. As compared with the baseline phase, DSM increased word problem solving for all the participants. All students' level of performance was maintained during follow-up sessions. The results suggest the intervention facilitated math problem-solving performance.

Education Reform That Sticks: Ten Years of &quot;Portfolio Strategy&quot; Efforts Reveal How to Navigate Politics and Change K-12 Public Education
Author: Hill, Paul T.
Date: 2022-09-00
Type: Reports - Evaluative
Subjects: Educational Change,Educational Strategies,Politics of Education,Public Schools,Elementary Secondary Education,Sustainability,Educational Improvement,Political Influences,Leadership,Cooperation,Competition

Public education depends on expertise, work, money, and cooperation from multiple actors who have different interests and beliefs. These lead to competition and negotiation--in other words, politics. Failure to consider the politics of reform implementation and sustainability has doomed many promising K-12 school improvement initiatives. This paper analyzes more than 10 years of data on the implementation of the portfolio strategy to identify practical lessons on managing the politics of reform K-12 schools. Sustaining complex reforms like the portfolio strategy in a political environment requires leaders to: (1) Continually seek new supporters and renew the support of existing ones; (2) Expect and prepare for attacks and be alert to the unnecessary harms caused by their own actions, which bolster opposition; (3) Develop information strategies that document intermediate results, alert leaders to emergent problems and actively counter hostile narratives; (4) Be attentive to competing agendas and political liabilities within their own alliances; and (5) Prepare for leadership succession so that reforms have a chance to last long enough to make a difference. These observations challenge the conventional wisdom that sustainable reforms can be built only upon the percolating up of good ideas and initiatives from below. Reform leaders are essential to knitting together fragile coalitions who may be motivated by different goals and aligning new programs and initiatives--and politically reinforcing them over time--so their benefits can accumulate.
McGuffey&apos;s Newly Revised Eclectic Primer. Newly Illustrated. Eclectic Educational Series
Author: McGuffey, William Holmes
Date: 1867-00-00
Type: Historical Materials
Subjects: Textbooks,Reading Instruction,Beginning Reading,Spelling,Repetition

This textbook is an illustrated reading primer. This small volume, intended as a first book for children, will, it is hoped, be found an acceptable aid to little learners in their earliest efforts to ascend the ladder of learning. The lessons contain the most simple words--those with which the ear of the child is familiar. By the combination of these words in easy sentences, connected with pleasing and impressive pictures, it is designed at once to fix the attention and to interest the mind, and, in this way, to make the lessons a medium for imparting ideas to the child. A careful progression has been preserved, thus leading the little learner forward, step by step, along an easy gradation, which, while it pleases, will at the same time instruct him in the use and meaning of language. Many of the words in the spelling exercises are often repeated, that the pupil may frequently spell them. Every teacher is aware that repetition is necessary in instructing young children in this branch.

Every adventure through which Dick Sumner is taken is an actual adventure--something that has really happened. From his first visit to the Transport office until his successful production of &quot;The Through Sleeper,&quot; his experiences are as true to life as actual truth can make them. It is a book which no boy can read without having his ambition stirred and his character strengthened.

As support continues to grow across the country and across the political spectrum for the federal student-level data network (SLDN) proposed in the College Transparency Act (CTA), IHEP partnered with AEM Education Services, with input from RTI International, to further build out a roadmap to support the implementation of the SLDN. &quot;Frameworks for a Federal Student-Level Data Network: Considerations for Using the Common Education Data Standards (CEDS)&quot; examines how the vocabulary, data models, and more than 550 postsecondary-specific elements already in the Common Education Data Standards (CEDS) can streamline implementation of an SLDN, which would bridge the current gaps in data that currently exclude countless students and their outcomes from higher education decision-making. This brief builds on other research to facilitate the implementation of an SLDN that would finally deliver accurate, complete, and timely data on enrollment, completion, and post-college outcomes while staunchly protecting student privacy. The findings in this brief align with a series of convenings that RTI and IHEP have hosted over the past two years with experts across the field of higher education to support the modernization of the nation's postsecondary data system. Recommendations from those convenings have addressed measures and underlying data elements addressed in proposed legislation, institutional views on data submission, and financial aid.
