This document summarizes a study examining the relationship between early childhood risk factors and third grade reading proficiency for students in the Cleveland Metropolitan School District. The study links data on children's demographic characteristics, family/neighborhood factors, early childhood services, and school experiences to kindergarten readiness scores and third grade reading test results. A hierarchical linear model is used to identify predictors of kindergarten literacy scores and a hierarchical generalized linear model examines influences on passing the third grade reading test. The results can inform local policies and practices around early literacy and the state's third grade reading proficiency policy.

Reading proficiency problem faced by learners in physical science Reading.Subhankar Roy
This document discusses reading proficiency in physical science. It outlines five levels of language proficiency from elementary to native level. It also defines reading proficiency as the ability to read proficiently, noting that science reading requires English proficiency. The document then discusses problems beginners and advanced students face in science reading, including understanding symbols, units, equations and abstract concepts. Teachers are advised to clarify concepts, units, symbols and common misconceptions to help students overcome challenges in science reading proficiency.
Skills required for proficient reading -maricel m. ubaldoChoi Chua
The document summarizes the key skills required for proficient reading according to research. It discusses 5 essential skills: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and reading comprehension. For each skill, it provides details on what they entail and why they are important for reading development. It also describes different levels of reading comprehension from literal to critical evaluation and application. An activity is assigned which involves reading a short story and answering comprehension questions.
The Philippine Informal Reading Inventory (PIRI) is a reading assessment tool developed by the Department of Education to measure reading proficiency among elementary students. It assesses word recognition, comprehension, and reading speed through stories and passages in both English and Filipino. The PIRI evaluates students' reading at literal, interpretive, critical, and applied level questions. It categorizes students as independent, instructional, or frustration readers based on benchmarks for word recognition, comprehension, and reading speed. The PIRI provides forms and procedures for administering the assessment and interpreting student performance.
Using the PicCollage App for Reading ComprehensionJennifer Jones
Creation apps are the hottest thing in the classroom right now. Most teachers have PicCollage on their phone for saving memories with pictures from the camera roll. But, how many teachers are using PicCollage for learning? Or, better yet, turning the app usage over to students? I created this presentation for my session at the Margaret Blount Harvey Literacy Institute in Greenville, North Carolina. Teachers will learn why Pic Collage is the perfect app for digital creations, see several examples of PicCollage for reading comprehension and create a PicCollage f their own.
The document discusses reading skills and difficulties. It covers three main components of reading: decoding, comprehension, and retention. Decoding involves translating printed words to sounds, comprehension is understanding the text, and retention is keeping or remembering the information read. Some common reading difficulties include dyslexia, vocabulary issues, memory problems, attention problems, and difficulties with decoding, comprehension, or retention.
The document discusses how partnerships between state agencies and higher education can use early childhood data for decision-making. It provides examples from Ohio of integrating data from the state to county and local levels, including the Ohio Education Research Center, the Cuyahoga County CHILD integrated data system, and projects analyzing third grade reading outcomes, homeless families, and child healthcare utilization. The examples show how integrated longitudinal data can inform policy and services to improve early childhood outcomes.

This document summarizes a presentation on implicit bias in preschools. It finds that preschool expulsion rates are much higher than in K-12 schools, with black boys most at risk. Studies show that black preschoolers are more than twice as likely to be expelled as white preschoolers, and boys are over 4 times as likely as girls. Additional research presented found that teachers had stronger implicit biases towards black boys, viewing their behaviors as more problematic and requiring more attention. The presentation argues that reducing disparities in preschool discipline is an issue of social justice and access to early education opportunities.

Effectiveness of a group-based tutorial direct instruction program with a Canadian-Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal sample of children in care
Children in foster care are frequently behind in educational achievement (Flynn, Ghzal, Legault, Vandermeulen, & Petrick, 2004) and perform below grade level (Trout, Hagaman, Casey, Reid, & Epstein, 2008 for a review). Vacca (2008) found that children in foster care perform seven to eight percentile points lower in achievement test scores when compared to children in the general population. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a direct instruction literacy and math program ("Teach Your Children Well"; TYCW) in a small group format to educationally disadvantaged children in foster care. Across the two years of the study, 101 children in long-term foster care, 78.2% of which were Aboriginal Canadian, between grades 1 and 8 inclusive, participated in this randomized control trial intervention. Half were randomly assigned to the 30- week experimental TYCW condition, while the other half served as waitlist controls. Children were assessed at baseline and post-intervention on word reading, spelling, sentence comprehension, and mathematic skills using an academic measure of functioning, the Wide Range Achievement Test Forth Edition (WRAT4). An analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) demonstrated a statistically significant increase in standard scores on reading decoding, spelling and mathematic skills for those who received the tutoring. Meaningful effect sizes (small to moderate range) were also found in support of the tutoring intervention across these three domains. Furthermore, the results also indicated that condition predicted improvements in word reading for those with elevated levels of school instability, and a trend towards those with high inattention symptoms, as measured by the Conners' ADHD/DSM-IV Scales (CADS). The implications of these findings as they relate to improving educational achievement among foster children are discussed.

Pero también revelan graves brechas entre grupos sociales socioeconómicos, que empeoran si la madre es indígena, y poco educada. Además, esas desigualdades se evidencian apenas desde los 5 años de edad (vocabulario receptivo). Entonces, el rendimiento de los niños a los 5 años predice su desempeño varios años después, reflejando un sistema educativo inequitativo.

- Nearly half (46%) of primary school children in Vietnam take extra classes outside of regular school hours. The prevalence is higher in rural (56%) and urban (58%) areas compared to mountainous regions (7%).
- Most extra classes focus on mathematics and Vietnamese language (80%), with some also taking classes in other school subjects (20%) or extracurricular activities like sports (7%).
- Parents and teachers are the main advisers encouraging children to take extra classes. Children spend an average of 8-10 hours per week in extra classes, exceeding the legal limit of 4 hours.
- Household expenditures on education are higher in urban areas, with 30% on average spent on extra classes nationwide.

The document provides an overview of the Kindergarten Observation Form (KOF) and its use in assessing kindergarten readiness. It discusses how the KOF measures readiness across four domains using teacher observations and a parent survey. Results from multiple studies show the KOF is a valid predictor of later school performance. Data from the KOF have been used to identify factors linked to readiness, evaluate programs, and inform policies and investments to improve outcomes for children.
At a special event to launch new data from the Young Lives household survey, Dr Renu Singh, Country Director of Young Lives India presented preliminary descriptive findings from Round 4 of the Young Lives survey, focusing on changes in children’s lives in the eleven years since the survey began. Our findings show that in order to reap the demographic dividend of India’s large youth population, policymakers must find a way to keep children in education and to ensure that the education system provides them with the learning and skills they need to find decent work and livelihoods.
This document discusses plans to create a data dashboard to track education and workforce outcomes for students in central Ohio. The dashboard will combine K-12, postsecondary, and employment data from state sources. It aims to help education and business leaders understand pathways and outcomes for graduates. The dashboard is being developed through a collaboration of research and education organizations for the Central Ohio Compact, which has a goal of increasing postsecondary attainment rates in the region. It will allow tracking items like dual enrollment participation, college credits earned, college readiness, career credentials, and employment outcomes at the district and institutional levels.
The document discusses Michigan's efforts to streamline data usage across schools through the implementation of statewide data hubs. It outlines how the data hub solution is designed to integrate different education systems like student information, special education, food services, and transportation systems. The data hubs use the Ed-Fi open source framework and are being piloted in 5 regions. The goals are to eliminate redundant data entry, improve data accuracy, and provide a single source of actionable data and reporting. The timeline outlines a phased statewide rollout through 2016-2017 with all districts connected to their regional data hub and using state reporting capabilities.

This document discusses the Workforce Success Measures (WSM) project in Ohio, which created a dashboard to evaluate workforce development programs. The WSM project aims to create a data-driven culture by measuring outcomes across programs, such as employment rates, wages, and credential attainment. It provides metrics for various workforce programs at the state, regional and county levels. Users can compare performance over time and between programs to identify best practices. The document demonstrates how stakeholders in Stark County could use the dashboard to evaluate adult dislocated worker programs and set goals.
The document summarizes a presentation given at the ODJFS Conference on May 5, 2015 about the Governor's Office of Workforce Transformation (OWT) and their Workforce Success Measures project. The presentation covered an overview of OWT, their strategic framework for identifying business needs, connecting workers to businesses, and aligning training programs. It also discussed the data partnership called OhioAnalytics that supports research using administrative data to evaluate workforce program outcomes. Examples of outcome metrics and data products from the Workforce Success Measures dashboard were demonstrated.
The Kentucky Longitudinal Data System connects education and workforce data to evaluate programs, inform policymakers, and monitor student outcomes from early childhood through employment. It is maintained by the Kentucky Center for Education and Workforce Statistics, which produces reports on topics like employment and earnings of postsecondary graduates and outcomes of K-12 students. These reports provide aggregate data to institutions and stakeholders to understand the impacts of education.
This document summarizes a presentation about the impact of career pathways programs on participant and employer outcomes. It discusses how Partners for a Competitive Workforce works to close the skills gap in the Cincinnati region by connecting businesses to qualified workers and building career pathways programs. Evaluation data shows career pathways programs delivered through PCW increase employment rates by 40% and earnings by up to 58% compared to traditional job training. Credentials and training through PCW also increase wages for participants and improve retention and diversity for employers. The presentation concludes with lessons learned around the importance of data collection and a plan to continue expanding the regional workforce data system.
This document summarizes research on the workforce outcomes of On-the-Job Training (OJT) funded by the Workforce Investment Act (WIA) in Ohio. The study used Ohio's Longitudinal Data Archive to compare outcomes of 1,115 individuals who received WIA-funded OJT between 2006-2008 to a propensity score matched group of 27,160 non-OJT participants. The analysis found that OJT participants had an average 11 percentage point higher employment rate and $1,100 higher average quarterly wages in the 4 years after participation compared to the non-OJT group. The results provide evidence that WIA-funded OJT improves long-term workforce outcomes for trainees in Ohio.
The document summarizes research on measuring the return on investment and performance of workforce development programs. It discusses methods for establishing causality between programs and outcomes. It then presents results from studies on the net impacts and returns on investment of various workforce programs in Washington state and other states. These include impacts on employment, earnings, skill attainment rates, and returns for participants, taxpayers, and society. The document concludes by noting new requirements in WIOA for indicators to measure employer satisfaction with workforce programs.
The document discusses measuring postsecondary employment outcomes using administrative data from the Ohio Longitudinal Data Archive. It analyzes outcomes for graduates from a county school district and city school district. For the county school district, it found most graduates were employed while in college and that wages increased over time. The city school district analysis found about half of 9th graders went to higher education, graduates had higher employment and wages than dropouts, and employed college graduates earned less than non-college graduates. The document also discusses challenges in measuring postsecondary outcomes.
Reports from the twelve Federal Reserve Districts suggest that national economic activity continued to expand at a modest or moderate pace during mid-November through late December. Manufacturing activity increased at a modest rate while demand for nonresidential construction strengthened and the residential market was stable. Freight shipments were strong but capacity issues are limiting growth. Demand for business and consumer credit moved slightly higher.

It also outlines the process for accessing the data through an application and using a tool called The Investigator to search, view codebooks, and select variables of interest to compile into a tagset for analysis. The tutorial demonstrates how to use The Investigator to explore the EMIS data and access documentation to understand the variable names and years of data collection.
This document outlines steps taken in southern Ohio to bridge the mathematics achievement gap, including a senior transition course, summer bridge program, master's in mathematics degree, and dual enrollment program using flipped classrooms (DEAMFISA). Through these initiatives, the number of credentialed teachers and dual enrollment students has increased substantially. Challenges included completing online coursework and supporting teachers as they implement new teaching methods, but partnerships between high schools and Shawnee State University have helped address regional math proficiency.
This document discusses using data visualization to analyze higher education outcomes in Ohio. It describes the Ohio Longitudinal Data Archive (OLDA), which links administrative data from K-12 education, public universities, employment, and wages. The presentation shows how OLDA can be used to answer policy questions about the earnings of university graduates and the impact of degree type. Examples of initial data visualizations are provided, with the goal of improving the visualizations to create meaningful information from the raw data.
This document discusses using workforce outcomes data to enhance decision making in Ohio. It defines common workforce measures like employment, wages, and occupation. The Ohio Education Research Center (OERC) can produce this outcomes data from its Ohio Longitudinal Data Archive (OLDA) to analyze programs. Examples show employment reports for high schools and overall workforce outcomes for programs like WIA, Perkins, and Adult Basic Education. The data on placement, wages, retention, and skills gains can inform policy and research to improve programs.
How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

BACKGROUND
Previous
studies
Policy
Social
Service
• Early exposure to stressful circumstances, environmental hazards, and less
than optimal early learning environments negatively and persistently affect
early development.
• Ohio State adopted “3rd Grade reading Guarantee” to ensure that students pass
reading proficiency test before advancing beyond 3rd grade (e.g., kindergarten
school readiness)
• Cleveland Metropolitan School District and Cuyahoga County can be more
aware of risk factors and services for students being held back as the policy is
implemented.
3. Aim 1. Assess the practical ity of l inking early chi ldhood and K-3
student records and potential usefulness of the resulting
information to local schools
2. Determine how chi ld, fami ly, neighborhood, mobi l ity, and
early chi ldhood services to influence kindergar ten
readiness.
3. Estimate the ef fects of early chi ldhood risk factors and
experiences on student progress over grades 1 to 3
4.Identify chi ld- level indices, including kindergar ten
readiness and reading-growth trajectories, that in their
combination accurately predict reading proficiency in
third grade.

CONCLUSION:
EARLY CHILDHOOD SERVICES
The newborn home visi t suppor ts
(1) the discovery of children who may show a developmental issues or
disability earlier
(2) the detection of child maltreatment,
(3) the arrangement of services for families in need,
(4) families choosing higher quality early childhood services
The school system wi l l consider
(1) both children’s KRA -L score per se
(2) the risk predictors of KRA-L together in order to enhance the passing
rates of 3rd grade reading test.
Bui lding a cohesive bridge between early chi ldhood services and
the publ ic school system
(1) stay within a continuity of child development and education
(2) be prepared for kindergarten
(3) improve the passage of 3rd grade reading test.

CONCLUSION: USEFULNESS OF IDS
Col laboration with Cleveland Metropol itan School District
(CMSD) and Early chi ldhood agencies
(1) Data Sharing
(2) Uses
- Building profiles
- Community collaborative planning
- Risk factor reduction
Helpful to inform educational planning; especially schools
with large numbers of disadvantaged students
Understand chal lenges for kindergar ten readiness
