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.

Savy stats project revised
Child Stats.gov is a website maintained by 22 federal agencies that provides up-to-date statistics on child well-being in categories like health, behavior, education, and family environment. Kelly Adams presented on a longitudinal study from 2010-2011 that assessed children in kindergarten and not in kindergarten on reading, math, and science skills, with a hypothesis that kindergarten plays a major role in cognitive development as shown by higher assessment scores. The research method examines differences in assessment results between pairs of same-age children from the same demographic, with one having attended kindergarten and one not.
Savy stats project
Child Stats.gov is a website that provides up-to-date statistics from 22 federal agencies on indicators of child and family well-being, including health, behavior, education, and family/social environment. The document discusses a longitudinal study from 2010-2011 that assessed kindergarten students' performance in reading, math, and science, accounting for gender, poverty status, and race. It hypothesizes that kindergarten students will score higher on cognitive assessments than children not attending kindergarten, demonstrating the importance of kindergarten in educational development.
Effects of Early Literacy
Early literacy is strongly influenced by parental education levels and income, with children from lower-income or less educated families beginning school significantly behind peers. Learning disabilities can also impact literacy development by making reading, writing, spelling, and focusing difficult. However, regular parent involvement like reading with their child, as well as teacher interventions, can help increase literacy levels and close achievement gaps. Early literacy skills are important for future academic success.
ESR 505 final presentation Quality Childcare Team
This document presents research on the quality of childcare and its effects on school readiness and child development outcomes. It discusses different types of childcare (parental, home-based, center-based) and reviews literature showing that higher quality care leads to better school preparation. The authors conducted interviews and surveys of parents, teachers and administrators to examine factors like curriculum, funding, facilities, teacher qualifications, and state laws. The analysis found some correlations between these factors and parent perceptions of quality care. The conclusions call for more research on childcare's impacts to influence policymaking.
School Choice Webinar
The landscape of school choice options in public education has been expanding faster than ever across the country over the past decade, and particularly here in Florida. With this expansion has come an unprecedented array of decisions for parents to learn how to navigate in determining the best type of school for their children. In this policy brief, the Jacksonville Public Education Fund examines the complex system of school choice in Duval County, and how parents find their way through it.
JTevis Early Literacy Presentation- ENG 100
The document discusses several factors that affect early childhood literacy development. It finds that parent literacy levels and income significantly impact children's literacy, with children from low-income or less educated families entering school far behind their peers. Early literacy interventions like reading with parents and preschool can help address these gaps. The effects of early literacy learning are long-lasting and influence children's academic success and socioeconomic outcomes. Early and sustained interventions are important to promote literacy development in young children.
GETTING PARENTS INVOLVED IN SCHOOLS
Getting parents involved in their children's schools has significant benefits for children including improved grades, test scores, attendance, homework completion, behavior, and self-esteem. Effective parent involvement requires true partnerships between schools and families, especially around academics. Research shows that greater parent involvement leads to higher student achievement. Several organizations promote parent involvement through programs like home visits, workshops, and resources to build parents' skills and confidence in supporting their children's education.

There is less faith now in the public education system than there ever has been. Homeschooling has increased by 75 percent in the last 14 years, according to a recent report in Education News. Homeschooling is growing seven times faster than a K-12 public education. Researchers predict that the homeschooling boom will continue to explode over the next 10 years, as parents seek to provide their son/daughter with a better education, one that is less controlling and less controlled.

This document discusses the importance of parent involvement in increasing student academic success and reducing dropout rates, especially for low-income and minority students. It presents research showing that lack of a high school diploma leads to lower lifetime earnings and poorer health and outcomes. The document then describes a qualitative case study conducted in an urban elementary school with diverse, low-income families. The study examined both traditional forms of parent involvement like PTAs as well as non-traditional forms like cultural pride and high expectations. Results showed improved reading grades and mostly maintained math grades, with students feeling more supported and parents better able to assist. The document concludes by recommending further research on implementing long-term parent involvement programs and examining school culture and student motivation.
Centre For Research on the Wider Benefits of Learning: A Brief Retrospective
The Centre for Research on the Wider Benefits of Learning was established in 1999 to investigate the non-economic benefits of learning. It conducts interdisciplinary research on topics such as health, crime, parenting, and social cohesion using longitudinal studies. Recent work has examined how individual, family, school, and community contexts interact to influence children's achievement and well-being from childhood through adolescence. Research findings suggest the importance of early intervention and support for disadvantaged children, as well as integrated policy approaches that consider the complex interactions between individuals and their environments.
Using Tellus data for National and Local Indicators
The document discusses several National Indicators in the UK that use data from the Tellus survey to measure outcomes for children and young people. It outlines the indicators on emotional health, bullying, participation in positive activities, substance misuse, and satisfaction with parks. For the indicator on participation in positive activities, it provides details on the questions and calculation method. Similarly, it describes the questions and calculation for the substance misuse indicator. It also notes challenges in using Tellus data for national indicators due to changes over time that affect comparisons.
Parents Support the Common Core State Standards (Voices of Education)
The survey found that most parents support the Common Core State Standards despite some misconceptions about their origin and role. 62% of parents surveyed support the Standards while 22% oppose them. Parents who support the Standards believe it ensures all children learn from a unified curriculum and facilitates better education, while those who oppose think it does not address different student needs and rates of learning. Many parents incorrectly believe the federal government created the Standards rather than state governments and experts. The survey revealed shared misconceptions among parents with differing views, including beliefs that the Standards mandate specific lessons rather than curriculum and that student data like health records will be collected, rather than just performance data.
Gender beliefs - ASSA 2018 poster
Women are still less likely to pursue careers in STEM fields, even though a gender gap in math test scores no longer exists. Some evidence suggests that this might be due to gender beliefs about math abilities. We explore the role of parents gender beliefs in the context of occupational plans.

This document discusses the history and development of accountability measures in public schools in the United States. It outlines how standardized testing began in the 1960s and increased over time, with more tests being required for students to graduate high school. While accountability has forced schools to improve, it has also shifted education to focus more on testing than learning. The standardization movement now aims to further align standards and testing across states.

The document discusses early childhood development from ages 0-5. It states that the experiences children have in their early years, including sounds, sights, touches, thoughts and interactions, build the biological "code" for success in life. It also discusses how cognitive, social and emotional capacities are intertwined and develop in the frontal lobe of the brain through interconnected neural circuits. These capacities rely on predictability and stability provided by caregivers in infancy and increasing self-regulation and autonomy as children age into school and adolescence. Pleasure and dopamine are released through acts of kindness, collaboration, problem-solving, physical activity, and creative/artistic pursuits. Parents are part of supporting development rather than just observing outcomes.

“Impact of Poverty on the Education Success of Children”
Background
Education is one of the most fundamental rights across the world. However, access to education continues to vary cross different communities, cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Numerous studies have attempted to explore the causes of variations in access and successful educational outcomes across different groups of people. Riedi, Dawn and Kim (2017) state that learners with the capacity to deliver high academic performance exist in all income levels across the United States. Nonetheless, the success rates of learners from low-income backgrounds continue to be lower than their wealthy counterparts. While the dropout rates have reduced phenomenally from low-income neighborhoods, children from wealthy families still register the lowest dropout rates. Level of income coupled with gender factors may also play a role in school dropout rates or low academic performance for children from poor backgrounds. A longitudinal qualitative study undertaken by Ramanaik et al. (2018) found that for many poor families, girls’ domestic tasks came at the cost of schooling with greater concerns regarding the need to safeguard their sexual purity. Furthermore, with the rising desire of the girls’ educational and career goals, parents often encourage girls’ agencies to communicate openly both at home and in school. Children from poor households are also less motivated to work harder in school compared to their contemporaries from wealthy backgrounds. Friels (2016) observes that scholars have tried to make efforts towards exploring the influence of poverty on student success. According to Friels (2016), a combination of factors such as poverty, race and ethnicity have been the defining indicators of student academic attainment. For instance, African American children from low-income neighborhoods continue to face challenges such as low classroom attendance and dropout rates compared to their peers from financial stable backgrounds. In light of the above, this qualitative study will investigate the effects of poverty on educational success in children.
Research Problem
The indicators of academic achievements are often widely recognized across different sides of the scholarly divide. They include hard work, student competence and abilities, school culture, as well as teachers’ competencies. While these factors have been expansively identified and explored by scholars, one major area of research has often been overlooked: the extent to which poverty or level of income impacts educational outcomes for children. Renth, Buckley and Pucher (2015) observe that even though studies exist on this problematic area of knowledge, there have been minimal qualitative explorations on the influence of poverty on children’s educational outcomes. For instance, major qualit.

The achievement gap affects lower socio-economic families and their children. There are three main points to the symbolic interactionism perspective on the achievement gap: 1) teacher-student interactions, 2) student self-esteem, and 3) self-fulfilling prophecies. The proposed solution to address the achievement gap is an education and awareness campaign.

The document discusses the importance of parental involvement in a student's academic performance. It begins by outlining how education benefits society and that parents play a key role in socializing children to become productive members. The theoretical framework discusses social cognitive theory and how children learn behaviors from parents. Research has shown parental involvement is linked to higher achievement and that factors like parents' educational expectations and support with homework positively influence performance. The study aims to determine the level of influence of family-related factors like parents' learning support on students in different curriculums and between males and females at Tangub City National High School.

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.

The School Success Program: Improving
Maltreated Children's Academic and
School-related Outcomes
Christopher A. Mallett
Many victims of chudhood maltreatment expedence difficulties in school and with aca-
demic performance. This article reviews the evidence on the connection between child-
hood maltreatment and school performance and presents an evaluation of a unique
program established by Children's Services in Lorain County, Ohio. Since 2001, the
School Success Program, in collaboration with 18 Ohio public school distdcts, has pro-
vided individual tutodng and mentodng by certified teachers to 615 maltreated children
and youths, working closely with the whole family in an in-home setting. Most children
and youths in the program have progressed to their appropdate grade level whue improv-
ing overall grade point averages from 1.74 to 2.56 in core academic subjects. Program par-
ticipants have shown one-year improvements that are significant when compared with
those of their nonmaltreated peers: Basic reading and comprehension skills improved 58
percent; math reasoning and comprehension skills improved 50 percent; basic wddng
skills improved 48 percent; and overall academic skills improved 51 percent. These
improvements were seen across both gender and race, with almost equal gains made by
minodty and nonminodty children and youths, but particularly by boys. Implications for
school social work practice are set forth in light of these promising results.
KEY WORDS; children; maltreatment; mentor; school; tutor
A
cademic success is vital for children and
youths to transition without difficulty to
adolescence and young adulthood
(Buehler, Orme, Post, & Pattenon, 2000). This
transition is markedly more difficult for many
children w h o have been vicdms of maltreatment.
Abuse and neglect may affect children's abüities to
learn, decrease cognitive and language capacities
(SmithgaU, Gladden, Howard, Goerge, &
Courtney, 2004), increase dsk for special educa-
tion disabüities, decrease standardized tesdng out-
comes (Egeland, 1997), and decrease overall
academic performance (Leiter, 2007). It is import-
ant to develop interventions and programs tar-
geted specifically to this population that has
expedenced abuse, neglect, or both to provide
these children and youths the opportunity to
achieve school-related success. These interventive
efforts may have long-lasting and important future
impacts (Veltman &L Browne, 2001).
This investigation provides descdptive and lon-
gitudinal findings for a program initiated in 2001
in one Ohio county's children's services agency
that is trying to address and improve the academic
and school-related outcomes for maltreated children
and youths. Finding evidence of what may work
to address this child welfare, school social work,
and public educadon situadon is important not
only because academic difficuldes are a common
problem for maltreatment victims, but also because
few programs have been designed specifically.
The Influence of Parental Involvement on the Learning outcomes of their Child...
Parental involvement in their children's education has been proven by research to improve the
children's confidence, interest and performance at school. A qualitative case study to evaluate the influence of
parental involvement was conducted. The study sample was purposively sampled and consisted of 20 school
heads, 20 teachers and 20 pupils. The researcher was the main research instrument during data gathering. She
assumed the role of the interviewer and an observer. Data were analysed using thematic content analysis. The
findings showed that, parents who had children enrolled in rural and public urban schools were less committed
to their children's learning. Further, they were not worried much about their children’s school environment.
They consulted less with the teachers and did not supervise their children’s home work. Parents whose children
were in private schools had better communication and interaction with their children’s teachers. There were
various models that were used to improve parent-teacher relationship for the betterment of the children's
learning needs. The study recommended -devolvement of engagement strategies, improved communication
channels, supervised parental involvement in school activities andmonitoring and evaluation measures to assess
performance, progress, outcome and impact of engagement strategies.
Capstone Research Paper. Fall 2015. Huang, Nguyen & Zhang
This study examines the impact of early childhood education programs, particularly Head Start, on children's non-cognitive outcomes using a national longitudinal dataset. The results indicate that children who attended Head Start improved in both internalizing and externalizing behaviors between 3rd and 8th grade compared to children who attended other pre-K programs or had no pre-K. However, Head Start children from low-income families did not fare as well in externalizing behaviors compared to children in other pre-K programs. This highlights the need to improve aspects of Head Start that address externalizing behaviors and enhance program quality for low-income children.
Poverty and student achievement
The document discusses how poverty affects student achievement through various out-of-school factors such as low birth weight, lack of healthcare, food insecurity, and unsafe neighborhoods. These factors lead to problems like neurological damage, absenteeism, and poor behavior that negatively impact learning. However, some high-poverty, high-success schools have overcome these challenges by focusing on academics, frequent assessment, collaborative work, and non-fiction writing to motivate students and help them succeed regardless of their circumstances. Educators must empower students in poverty to see their potential and make choices that can improve their lives.

Determinants of Aspirations
This document summarizes a research report on determinants of aspirations. Some key findings:
- Girls, higher SES groups, and most minority ethnic groups tend to have higher aspirations than counterparts. Aspirations decline with age and barriers.
- Aspirations are shaped by beliefs, opportunities, and environment from a young age. Financial constraints and early choices like parenthood limit opportunities.
- High aspirations generally lead to better outcomes, but not always, showing an aspiration-attainment gap for some groups.
- Supporting aspirations requires a holistic approach that considers intersections of identity and provides developmental support to overcome barriers.
Final edited thesis proposal
This document provides background information and context for a study on the level of influence of family-related factors on students' academic performance. It discusses how parental involvement is important for children's success in school. The study will focus on 4th year students in the Sports curriculum and Science curriculum at Tangub City National High School. The theoretical framework discusses how social cognitive theory and previous research have shown parental involvement contributes to academic achievement. The research methodology section outlines the descriptive research design that will be used to determine differences in influence based on sex and curriculum.
Child Wellbeing Healther Joshi April 2016
The document discusses concepts and dimensions of child well-being, including economic, social, health, and educational factors. It notes differences in child well-being within and across OECD countries, with children from disadvantaged backgrounds often having poorer outcomes. Longitudinal studies are important for understanding how early life circumstances influence later life chances and the potential for social mobility. The choice of indicators and joined-up policymaking across areas affecting children are key issues to consider.

Here are two possible ways Teacher Kris could address this situation using guidance rather than discipline:
1. Remain calm and help the children calm down. Have a brief conversation with each child to understand their perspective, using open-ended questions. Then facilitate a conversation between the children so they can work it out, with Kris mediating to ensure both voices are heard. The goal is resolving the conflict, not assigning blame.
2. Separate the children briefly if needed for safety, but don't leave them alone. Once calm, have a joint problem-solving discussion at the table to negotiate a fair sharing agreement for the playdough moving forward, such as taking turns or dividing it evenly. Praise cooperative behaviors and remind them they

Whole child makingthecase[1]
Educating the whole child is important to prepare students for the 21st century. A narrow focus only on core academics is not enough. Students need to be healthy, safe, engaged, supported, and challenged to learn. This involves considering students' physical, social, emotional, and academic needs. When these components work together in an integrated way, students are better able to succeed in school and beyond.
