While boys have traditionally had an advantage in math and science, and girls in verbal skills, the document notes that girls now outperform boys academically based on higher rates of girls being on the honor roll, student council, and in leadership roles. However, boys have higher dropout rates and disciplinary issues, though this differs in affluent areas. The document suggests paying closer attention to how boys learn, applying material to real life, but finds research on the causes of these gender differences to be vague and inconclusive. Educators should strive for equality in academic achievement between boys and girls.

Task force mtg 2
The Youth Outcomes Task Force met to discuss improving outcomes for local youth in social acceptance and school attendance. Data showed 86% of local kids had a supportive adult, and 70-84% showed improved confidence and attitudes toward school. Nationally, kids with supportive adults were more likely to graduate college and volunteer. The task force identified social acceptance and attendance as key areas to address. Their next steps were to discuss obstacles to these areas and develop interventions and strategies to help kids overcome obstacles at their next meeting.
Nadav Zeimer | Problems with the U.S. Foster Care System
The document discusses four major issues with the U.S. foster care system: 1) Overreliance on group homes where more than 40% of children in group homes do not need to be in that setting; 2) Lack of support for foster parents who need training and resources to care for children who often have mental/behavioral issues or trauma; 3) Many teenagers age out of the system without a support system and are at risk of homelessness or not graduating high school; 4) There is little focus on reuniting children with their birth families when possible, even though most children would prefer to live with family over being adopted or aging out.
Presentation1
The document discusses establishing a partnership between families and the school to promote student success. It notes that some students are failing classes and attendance has become an issue. Research shows that parent involvement leads to higher grades, better attendance, and increased likelihood of continuing education. The school plans to increase parent contact and hold family nights in reading, math, and science. Teachers will provide contact information and the school will make automated absence calls. Parent-teacher conferences will be held each semester to discuss student progress, with home visits for parents unable to attend. The school asks parents to prioritize attendance and communicate with the school. [END SUMMARY]
Reading 1
The article discusses a study that found students who had highly effective kindergarten teachers were more likely to attend college, earn higher wages, and have better adult outcomes even though the academic boost faded by middle school. An analysis of students decades later from an education experiment in Tennessee in the 1980s found those who learned more in kindergarten had better life trajectories. While the causes are unclear, effective early education may impart lasting skills like patience and perseverance that are not captured by standardized tests.
Parent Engagement Ny Style M. Howlett & J. Maloney
The document discusses a parent engagement model used in New York City schools called Parent Coordinators. The key aspects are:
1) Parent Coordinators act as liaisons between schools, parents, and support services. They provide one-on-one support to address parental issues and make referrals to additional resources.
2) By empowering parents and improving communication, the model aims to transform how parents engage with schools. It establishes schools as community hubs and strengthens partnerships between families and educators.
3) Studies found the approach improved student outcomes like attendance, behavior, and academic performance by identifying and addressing individual family needs. It also enhanced parental involvement and the responsiveness of support systems.

The City of Promise initiative aims to improve educational and developmental outcomes for children and youth in three Charlottesville neighborhoods through a cradle-to-college-and-career continuum of support programs. It is modeled after the Harlem Children's Zone and serves around 1,000 residents across 25 city blocks. The initiative has three main goals: academic achievement, positive youth development, and healthy development. It implements various programs in schools and the community to achieve these goals such as afterschool STEAM programs, parent empowerment programs, pathway coaching, mentoring, and partnerships to support health and wellness.
Students at risk
The document discusses various factors that can place students at risk of school failure, including low socioeconomic status, substance abuse, teenage pregnancy, abuse/neglect, eating disorders, and delinquency. It emphasizes the importance of early interventions, family involvement, reading/writing programs, mentoring/tutoring, and individualized instruction in helping at-risk students succeed. The document also stresses the role of teachers, schools, and communities in identifying and supporting at-risk students.
interventions for students who are at risk
The document discusses interventions that can help students who are at risk of dropping out of high school. It suggests attacking outside forces that influence students, providing more intensive instructional time and support, implementing early intervention strategies, increasing family involvement, and ensuring all those involved with a student work as a team. Specific early interventions discussed include identifying behaviors like peer rejection and partnering with community organizations.

Homeschool
The document outlines the steps taken by two students to develop their research topic on homeschooling in Trinidad. They began with the broad topic of homeschooling, then narrowed it to focus on surveying homeschooled children in Trinidad. Their research question asks whether homeschooling is effective or ineffective and if it offers better future prospects. They generated investigative questions and developed two thesis statements - one addressing the efficiencies of homeschooling and positive prospects, and the other discussing what homeschooling is and its implications on social development in Trinidad and Tobago.
Discussant 5b
This document discusses research on private versus public schooling in India. It notes that while public school teachers are better paid, private schools may have better incentives. The key policy question is whether private schools achieve better educational outcomes. However, it is difficult to identify causal effects due to selection bias, as more motivated families may choose private schools. The document explores various approaches and instrumental variables researchers have used to try and isolate the causal impact of private schools, including the presence of private schools, language instruction, social networks, and more. While the evidence generally seems favorable to private schools, the document notes more research is still needed to find a "smoking gun" and address concerns about external validity and sustainability.

The document discusses discipline in elementary schools, noting that parents and teachers should work together to establish discipline plans. It reports on a survey of hundreds of PreK-8 teachers which found that most use rewards and punishments in their classroom management approaches and believe discipline is important for student behavior and success. The document also discusses that discipline involves teaching right from wrong rather than just punishment, and that parents and teachers need to understand each child's temperament when determining the appropriate disciplinary approach.
Savy stats project Revised again :)
The document discusses a longitudinal study from 2010-2011 that assessed reading, mathematics, and science skills of kindergarteners. It notes that older kindergarteners scored higher on math tests than younger ones, and females typically scored higher than males on reading assessments. The presenter hypothesizes that children in kindergarten will score higher on assessments than those not in kindergarten, demonstrating the importance of kindergarten. A proposed research method would compare assessment results of 100 same-age children who either attended kindergarten or did not.
Single Fathers Rearing Successful Children and Productive Members of Society
This research paper was done to show proficiency in research analysis and writing. The research topic of single fathers as successful parents was chosen to show that traditional families are not the only way to view family and to study whether fathers can rear successful children in the way that mothers tend to.

Panel 5 - RESTORING JUSTICE IN OUR SCHOOLS: POSITIVE YOUTH DEVELOPMENT APPROACHES TO THE DISCIPLINE GAP
Youth of color are disproportionately suspended from school, causing youth to miss critical time of instruction, evoke feelings of hopelessness, and contributing to the “school to prison pipeline.” This panel considered what research and practice tell us about dismantling the pipeline and promoting positive developmental outcomes for youth of color with a focus on youth-centered principles of restorative justice.

This document summarizes research on the implementation and outcomes of multi-agency family support teams (AFSTs) in the UK. The AFSTs aimed to improve outcomes for vulnerable families through a holistic, early intervention approach. The research evaluated 15 case study families and found that the AFSTs were able to address complex family needs, prevent issues from worsening, and improve outcomes through intensive, direct support and advocacy. Common positive outcomes included improved family finances, housing stability, engagement in education/activities, mental health, and inter-family relationships. The AFST approach showed early signs of cost-effectiveness compared to traditional services.
Equity
1. Equity in education does not mean all students receive the same treatment, which could be unfair, but that each student gets what they need to succeed.
2. Research shows that in classroom interactions, teachers give more attention and praise to male students compared to female students. This can lead female students to develop "learned helplessness" and lower self-confidence.
3. The design of some classroom activities, like lectures, tend to favor male students. Using more cooperative learning and discussion can help create a more equitable environment.
2015 Teens and Personal Finance Survey
Junior Achievement's 2015 Teens and Personal Finance Survey, sponsored by The Allstate Foundation, reveals a surprising disconnect between teens' and parents' views around paying for college and managing money.
https://www.juniorachievement.org/documents/20009/20652/2015+Teens+and+Personal+Finance+Survey
Chapter 5pp
The document discusses the benefits of forming partnerships between teachers and parents from the perspectives of children, parents, and teachers. Children benefit from increased security, improved academic performance, and consistent responses from adults. Parents benefit from feelings of support, knowledge to help their child's education, and enhanced self-esteem. Teachers benefit from increased knowledge of students, positive feedback, and additional resources. Barriers to partnerships can include issues of trust, differences in expertise, emotional responses like jealousy or fear of criticism, and time constraints. Solutions involve addressing relationship factors, emotional responses, and external barriers.
Interventions and Resources for At-Risk Students
The document discusses interventions and resources for students who are at-risk of school failure in Shelby County, Alabama. It outlines key indicators that a student may be at-risk, such as absenteeism and failing grades. It then describes Shelby County's Early Warning system and Supporting Families Initiative (SFI) which identify at-risk students and provide programs like social workers, alternative school settings, and tutoring to help them. The SFI also involves meetings with the student's family and community agencies to develop plans of action to improve outcomes. Statistics on at-risk students in Shelby County and Alabama are provided to emphasize the need for these intervention programs.
The homeschool movement
This document discusses the homeschool movement as a potential solution to issues in the public education system. It explores why parents may choose homeschooling, such as dissatisfaction with academics, cultural lessons, or religious restrictions in public schools. Both benefits and criticisms of homeschooling are presented, such as increased parental involvement but lack of diversity exposure. The history and increasing popularity of homeschooling in the US are also summarized.
At risk students
This paper explores programs and strategies for helping at-risk students succeed academically and socially. It defines at-risk students as those facing challenges like poverty, abuse, mental health issues, pregnancy, or other obstacles. The paper outlines several programs available in Idaho and elsewhere, including ARISE which provides after-school life skills training, Englishton Park Academic Remediation and Training Center which uses wilderness activities to help students, and Success For All which provides tutoring and support. It also discusses the benefits of online schools, peer mentoring, and bringing in motivational speakers like Jeff Yalden who was once at-risk himself. The paper argues that various support programs can help prevent at-risk students from dropping
Reasons for Misconduct
The document outlines several common reasons for academic misconduct:
1) Ignorance - Many students are unaware that certain behaviors like using old tests or getting answers from peers constitute cheating.
2) Cultural differences - In some cultures and schools, sharing information is accepted or even encouraged, while other places forbid it.
3) Inconsistent policies - Rules about what is allowed can vary between instructors, so students should always clarify expectations.
4) Grades over learning - Some students feel pressure to get good grades and believe cheating is necessary to achieve them, rather than focusing on real learning.
5) Poor time management - Students may cheat because they take on too many activities
Cell phones in_jchs[1]
This document summarizes a study that analyzed whether the number of times a student's cell phone was taken away was associated with their gender or grade level. Chi-squared tests and a two proportion z-test found no significant differences in cell phone confiscations between boys and girls or among grade levels. The researchers concluded that the chances of having your phone taken are equal regardless of these attributes, suggesting no discrimination when enforcing cell phone policies.

The document discusses the importance of the family environment in a child's educational development and achievement. It summarizes research showing that children who come from two-parent homes, are read to regularly, and have enriching learning environments at home tend to perform better academically. However, many families are under-resourced and lack some of these critical supports. The document argues that improving family environments could help address educational deficiencies and boost achievement, but should not replace efforts by schools and governments.
Beyond the Login
Most schools offer parent portals so families can monitor their student's performance and attendance. Often they don't spend time working with families to understand what to look for and what to do if they have concerns. This session explores how schools can work with families to better use the parent portals available and build relationships that empower families to address any concerns that arise.
Evan Walsh Ignite Slideshow
The document argues that standardizing school funding would help improve education outcomes for American children. It notes that when schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and enjoy school more. The document calls on readers to take responsibility for children's futures by discussing current educational frustrations with others and working to enact reforms over a 4 week period to shape the future of education.

Successful instructional practices for teaching formal English to African American children who speak Ebonics at home include calling and response techniques, teaching codeswitching between Ebonics and formal English, and using contrastive analysis to highlight the differences between the grammatical rules of the two dialects. The document discusses conducting assessments at the beginning, middle, and end of the year to analyze trends in students' language use and determine the effectiveness of these instructional strategies.
Interactive texts in a digital age
The document discusses using traditional texts like choose your own adventure books and video games as inspiration for digital writing projects. It suggests having students start an interactive story with multiple paths on a wiki to get peer feedback and a real audience. The presenter asks how game design principles and immersive narratives from games like Riven could inspire student story writing.

Thirty Days of Gratitude - Writing Prompts for a Month by Janet Ilko
This document outlines a 30-day gratitude challenge conducted by a teacher, Mrs. Ilko, and her classroom, room 207. Each day includes a prompt or activity to help students focus on and write about things they are grateful for, such as creativity, health, friends, family, and community. Students share what they write with the class by posting to a video or creating displays. The goal is to build an attitude of gratitude and highlight the many blessings in their lives.

Gender differences in education
This document discusses internal and external factors that influence gender differences in educational achievement. Externally, changes in family structure, women's employment opportunities, and girls' changing ambitions have encouraged girls to pursue higher education and see their future as more independent. Internally, equal opportunity policies, more female teachers and role models, changes to assessment like coursework, and efforts to challenge stereotypes in curricula have helped narrow the gender gap or favor girls in some cases. However, radical feminists argue that schools remain patriarchal and limit girls' full potential.
Gender and education ideas
Girls are responding positively to role models of working mothers and have higher aspirations for careers and independence. Among boys, strong peer pressure can discourage academic effort and seeking help. Research from the 1970s found girls prioritized relationships, but more recent studies show career is now the top priority. Girls also have an advantage in developing language skills important for school through talking with peers, while boys relate through physical activities.

SOC 463/663 (Social Psych of Education) - Gender & Education
This document discusses gender socialization and its impact on education. It addresses several key points:
1) Gender socialization begins early, with parents, schools, media and peers influencing children's views of masculinity and femininity.
2) Schools play a role in socializing gender through unequal treatment of boys and girls by teachers, textbooks, and valuing of male vs. female extracurricular activities.
3) While girls now outperform boys in education, gender inequality persists in careers and society. Factors like differential choices in college majors and prioritizing family over career contribute to this outcome.
4) Challenging gender stereotypes and making STEM fields seem more communal and inclusive
PBL and girls presentation
1) The document discusses problem-based learning (PBL) and its potential benefits for improving girls' achievement and interest in mathematics education. PBL encourages collaboration, sharing of ideas, and student agency.
2) Research has found that girls prefer learning environments that allow for active participation, inclusion of multiple perspectives, and empowerment. PBL aligns well with these preferences by taking a non-hierarchical approach.
3) While traditional instruction focuses more on procedures and test-taking skills, PBL emphasizes skills like critical thinking, communication, and applying concepts to real-world problems - skills that are important for the 21st century. PBL shows promise for addressing issues of gender inequity in mathematics education.

It finds that in elementary school, equal numbers of girls and boys are identified as gifted but girls show declining self-confidence and interest in academics compared to boys as they reach adolescence. This is likely due to perceptions that gifted girls should not stand out and prioritize friendship over achievement. The document also examines differences in career paths chosen by gifted women and the underrepresentation of women in STEM fields.
Gender differences in educational achievement
The document discusses several external and internal factors that influence the educational achievement and subject choices of girls and boys. Externally, changes in family structure and attitudes towards gender roles since the 1960s have impacted girls' achievement positively. However, working-class girls may be less influenced by feminism. Boys' literacy skills and perception of limited career opportunities negatively impact their achievement. Internally, policies aimed at removing gender stereotypes from curriculum, as well as more female teachers and role models, have benefited girls. However, the lack of male teachers has been detrimental to boys. Subject choices are influenced by socialization, peer pressure, and gender stereotypes regarding career opportunities.
Studentsinequalitiesin highereducation
This document provides an introduction and overview of a student project on gender inequalities in higher education. It discusses several factors that can lead to gender inequalities in the classroom, including stereotypes about gender differences in learning styles and academic subjects. It also examines some of the impacts of increasing numbers of female students in higher education, such as more highly educated women being able to contribute to the economy and development of the country through their careers. However, it also notes some potential negative impacts, such as delays in marriage and changes in traditional gender roles. The document provides background and context for the student project's analysis of this important issue.
Gpa Test Scores
The document discusses standardized test scores and their use in college admissions. It notes that only 25% of high school students score well enough on the ACT to be considered ready for college. It argues that education has become too focused on standardized test preparation rather than creativity or student strengths. This causes anxiety for students who feel they must score well on tests like the ACT or SAT to be successful in college and careers. More research is needed to determine if standardized test scores alone are reliable predictors of college success or if a broader view of students should be considered.

Adolescence (Pt 2)
The document discusses several key aspects of adolescent development according to Piaget and information processing theory. It describes Piaget's theory of formal operations including abstract thinking and hypothetico-deductive reasoning.

The document then briefly outlines Kohlberg and Gilligan's theories of moral development and factors that influence school performance and career choices in adolescence.
Jordan youth survey mar 2013 eng
The survey was conducted between December 8-14, 2012 among 1,098 Jordanian university, community college, and high school students ages 15-24. It found that 62% of youth reported being happy or very happy, though 31% felt neutral. Nearly half cited family/friends and material wellbeing as happiness sources, while 27% cited study/educational problems as unhappiness sources. Regarding education, over half of university students were satisfied with their academic choice but only 22% with their university environment. High school students gave low satisfaction ratings for teaching methods and school environment. Overall, the survey assessed Jordanian youth's wellbeing, education experiences, career aspirations, leisure activities, and civic engagement.

This document discusses gender awareness and disparities in Kenyan primary schools. It begins by defining key gender concepts like sex, gender, gender roles and stereotypes. It then analyzes causes of gender disparities in schools, such as socioeconomic factors, sociocultural beliefs, and teachers' attitudes. Traditional gender roles can negatively impact school performance if they create an imbalance in boys' and girls' workloads. The document suggests solutions like using role models, gender sensitization of parents and teachers, guidance and counseling for girls, and making schools more gender-friendly. The overall goal is to promote equal learning opportunities for boys and girls and reduce inequalities between them.

Why Some Schools With Latino Children...and Others Don’tdo.docx
This document describes the methodology used to identify schools that are successfully educating Latino students despite challenges ("beat the odds" schools) and compare them to similar schools that are less successful. The researchers used Jim Collins' approach from his book "Good to Great" of identifying top-performing organizations and comparing them to matched peers to uncover success factors. They identified 12 elementary and middle schools in Arizona that were outperforming expectations based on their demographic profiles and compared them to schools serving similar student populations that were less successful, to determine what practices differentiated the higher achieving schools.
Lifespan psychology module 6.2 and 7.2
Cognitive development continues into early and middle adulthood according to recent research. During early adulthood, thinking develops beyond Piaget's formal operations stage into postformal thought characterized by relativistic and experience-based problem solving. Intellectual growth follows stages of acquisition, achievement, responsibility, and executive function. College education promotes cognitive growth through mastery of knowledge and complex understanding, though access to college varies between demographic groups. In middle adulthood, fluid intelligence like reasoning declines while crystallized intelligence like knowledge increases, allowing for expertise development and selective optimization of skills to compensate for losses. Memory also shows some decline in retrieval efficiency but effective strategies like organization, attention, visualization, and rehearsal can support recall.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

- 1. Gender and Academic Achievement Who has the advantage?
- 6. What might account for this?
- 9. Weaker verbal skills or socio-economic factors? Research seems vague and inconclusive and these “widely accepted truths” might just be socially supported myths.
- 10. What is clear is that educators must work to bridge the gap and create equality in the academic achievement of boys and girls.
