JUVENILE
DELINQUENCY
THE CORE 5E
Chapter 9:
Schools and Delinquency
Modern American Schools
School plays a significant role in shaping values of youth
Today, more than 90% of school-age children attend school
School has become the primary instrument of socialization
Because young people spend a longer time in school, their
adolescence is prolonged
Young people rely increasing on school friends and become less
interested in adult role models
Modern American Schools
• Primary determinant of social/economic status
• School itself is an engine of social change and
improvement
• African American youth
educated in states where
a higher proportion of
their classmates are
European American
experience lower
incarceration rates
Education Trends and Issues
There has been some improvement in reading, math, and
science achievement during the past decade, but
improvements have been minimal
Many secondary math and science teachers did not major in the
subjects they teach
US devotes less of its resources to education than do many other
nations
Economic Disadvantage and Educational
Achievement
Economically disadvantaged children usually enter school
lagging behind their more advantaged peers
They face substantial gaps in reading and math proficiency, in
prosocial behaviors and behavior problems, and in readiness to
learn
Many disadvantaged children fail to meet grade-level expectations on
core subjects
They face higher rates of special education placement and grade
repetition
Dropping Out
Nearly 1/3 of all high school students leave the public school system
before graduating, especially minority students and students with
disabilities
Effects of dropping out mixed
Some say significantly increases delinquency
Some find no link
Reasons for dropping out:
Educational factors:
Kids who show disinterest in school are more likely to drop out - failed courses, low
grade point average, absences, falling behind and getting pushed out
Social factors:
Left because they did not like school, they wanted to get a job, could not get along with
teachers, had been expelled or were suspended
Poverty and family dysfunction increase chances of dropping out
Race and Dropping Out
Minority students drop out at a higher rate than European
American students
According to Dorn, the relatively high dropout rate among minorities
is the legacy of disciplinary policies enacted when educational
administrators opposed school desegregation
Dorn believes that the dropout problem is a function of inequality of
educational opportunities, rather than the failure of individual students
Payne and Welch found that administrators and teachers in urban
scho ...

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
