Em203 education funding presentation
The Canadian government has significantly cut education funding since 2008 while tuition fees continue to rise, resulting in $28 billion in student debt. The current OSAP system bases funding on parental income without considering whether students are financially supported by parents or parental debt levels. It also lacks accountability as students can use funds for non-school purposes without consequence. A redesigned OSAP system is needed that determines funding based on actual parental contributions, considers a variety of family financial factors, and provides constant oversight to ensure money is properly used.

It also includes developing a Freshman Academy and study hall classes for at-risk students. The proposal analyzes data showing over 30% of 9th graders failed classes in the current year, and graduation rates have remained around 80% for 10 years despite the Freshman Counselor. Nearby schools with higher graduation rates use a 9-12 counseling model rather than focusing solely on freshmen. The plan will be implemented over 4 years,
Final EDU 701 Legislative Paper-1
The document discusses the impact of the Education and Economic Development Act (EEDA) legislation on schools and students in South Carolina. EEDA aims to enhance student success, graduation rates, and career preparation. It requires schools to implement career clusters and pathways, increase career counseling, and involve parents in students' career plans. Since EEDA was established, dual enrollment has increased 100% at one high school and their graduation rate has risen 10%. EEDA also supports character education and bullying prevention to improve school climate.
Lasting benefits of early college high schools
Early college high schools have been shown to significantly improve student outcomes. Students who attended early colleges were more likely to enroll in college, complete a postsecondary degree, and do so at higher rates and faster than similar students who did not attend early colleges. A cost-benefit analysis found that the lifetime benefits of early colleges for students were over $58,000 on average, far exceeding the average additional cost of around $3,800 per student over four years of high school compared to traditional high schools. The policy brief recommends that policymakers support the expansion of early college programs to help more students be better prepared for and complete postsecondary education.

Discussion 3: Higher Education Institution Policy Proposal
According to Farber (2016), enrollment in colleges is continuously declining. This trend can be attributed to various factors such as failure to be accepted to one's school of choice, high tuition, and low diversity, among others. Hence, institutions are seeking ways of increasing students' enrollment rates. In this regard, a faculty in the business school can offer a vital perspective in enacting such changes in an institution since it facilitates direct interaction between administrators and students. There are three major themes, which higher education administrators should address if they want to increase students' access to higher education. First, there is the rise of online degree programs, which offers one with the flexibility to learn from remote locations at convenient times. Second, there is the aspect of diversity, which makes people from various backgrounds feel valued in an institution. Finally, there is the issue of high tuition fees, which locks out students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.
A policy that a faculty in a business school can enact to enhance students' access to affordable and high-quality education is to offer high-quality degree programs on online platforms. Currently, there is a limited number of quality degree programs that can be accessed on online platforms. However, an institution that fully adopts online programs can cover all the three themes identified above. Online applications will ensure that there is no limit to the number of students that can enroll in an institution since there are no considerable infrastructure demands to host the learners. Such a policy will ensure that a student can enroll in an institution of his/her choice at considerably low tuition rates. More so, such a system will increase diversity in a learning institution. For lessons that require practicals, the institution can liaise with local partners so that there is a schedule on when a batch of students goes for practicals. A faculty in a business school is best placed to consider the logistics of student learning in such a setup.

This document provides a review of credit-based transition programs that allow high school students to take college courses and earn college credit. It discusses the rationales for using these programs to promote college access and success for a wide range of students, not just traditional high-achieving students. The key rationales discussed are: 1) exposing students earlier to rigorous college-level coursework to better prepare them, 2) providing realistic information about college skills and expectations, and 3) increasing motivation through high expectations. The document then categorizes different types of transition programs and reviews evidence on their effectiveness.
Non-Cognitive Testing
1) The document discusses strategies to improve student success in developmental education courses. It notes that around half of community college students and one-fifth of four-year college students require remedial courses, and fewer than one in four students who take developmental courses complete a degree.
2) One strategy discussed is course acceleration, which uses multiple measures like noncognitive assessments and placement test scores to potentially place some students directly into college-level courses rather than developmental prerequisites. The SuccessNavigator assessment provides schools with noncognitive data to help identify students who may be misplaced and could succeed if accelerated.
3) A case study is described that found students who were accelerated based on their SuccessNavigator results in addition

Ways and means 3 16-11 lw
The document proposes rethinking Oregon's education budget framework to better align funding with student outcomes. It recommends transforming the current system of separate K-12, community college and university budgets into a unified "0-20" continuum budget focused on achieving the state's 40-40-20 degree attainment goals. Key elements of the proposed approach include agreeing on common outcomes, transforming the delivery system, creating a unified data system, and producing a transparent, outcome-based budget to improve accountability and determine the best use of resources.

Strategies for Improving Graduation Rates
- 1. STRATEGIES FOR IMPROVING GRADUATION RATES By Eric Becoats
- 2. Introduction Currently serving as assistant superintendent of The School District of Philadelphia, Eric Becoats has improved retention and student achievement in several school districts over the course of his career. As superintendent of the Durham Public Schools, Eric Becoats increased the four-year graduation rate to 80 percent from 69.8 percent and the five-year graduation rate from 73.9 percent to 79.8 percent. Although the reasons for student dropout rates are nearly as diverse as the students themselves, researchers have identified a number of overall strategies that can help to prevent dropout.
- 3. Improving Graduation Rates Several such strategies relate to multistage and multiyear intervention, in which schools focus on preparing students for high school achievement during the middle grade years. Success in ninth grade has been proven to be a key marker for gradation rates, as students who fail their freshman year in high school have only a 50 percent chance of graduation. To avoid this outcome, schools must prepare students for high school success and provide adequate support during the eighth-to-ninth-grade transition. A number of key strategies also address the need for increased accountability among students as well as school systems. School accountability includes assessing methods of instruction for relevance and viability, while also looking closely at expectations.
- 4. Conclusion If a school does not expect students to do well, that prophecy is likely to be self-fulfilling. Meanwhile, schools that hold themselves to high standards must also do the same with their students. Experts suggest that all students should have access to rigorous course work and should have expectations set that they achieve high academic standards. Availability of tutoring and other remedial study methods can help students feel supported as they work toward these expectations, though mastery remains an important fundamental goal.
