Achievement of English as New Language Learners in Monitor Status: A Cross Sector Comparison from Denver     

Grant Clayton  Christina Clayton  Dick M. Carpenter III  Gregory B. Ecks 《Journal of School Choice》2019,13(1):58-75

This study uses administrative data to measure the effect of attending a charter school in Denver, Colorado on the achievement of reclassified English as New Language (ENL) students during their monitor period in the mainstream classroom environment. We utilize school choice data from Denver’s Common Enrollment System (CES) to control for each school a family selected entering grade six, a typical time for a structural move, in order to better control of unobserved variable bias. Results indicate charter attendance increases achievement in mathematics and English on state testing. Charter school success in the CES environment provides insights for districts serving large numbers of ENL students.  相似文献

In Korea, early childhood education is considered to be education before elementary school. The term “kindergarten” is applied to a three year period of early childhood education, for 3–5-year-olds. The enrollment rate for five-year-olds reached 44.3% in 1994 (up from 7.3% in 1980)*. However, the enrollment rate for 3– and 4– year-olds is still relatively low (18.9%).  相似文献

The privacy of computerized records—The Swedish experience and possible U.S. policy impacts     

Norman Nisenoff  Ethelyn Bishop  Audrey Clayton 《Information processing & management》1979,15(4):205-211

The widespread use of the computer and the rapid growth of telecommunications technology have sparked debate on the privacy implications of computerized records. Regulations and government programs implemented in response to public pressure for greater protection of records could significantly affect the information system manager and any individual who has personal data recorded in a computerized file. This article considers the implications of possible privacy policy initiatives in the United States in light of Swedish experience.  相似文献

Customizing for clients: developing a library liaison program from need to plan   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2

Building on the experiences of librarian representatives to curriculum committees in the colleges of dentistry, medicine, and nursing, the Health Science Center Libraries (HSCL) Strategic Plan recommended the formation of a Library Liaison Work Group to create a formal Library Liaison Program to serve the six Health Science Center (HSC) colleges and several affiliated centers and institutes. The work group's charge was to define the purpose and scope of the program, identify models of best practice, and recommend activities for liaisons. The work group gathered background information, performed an environmental scan, and developed a philosophy statement, a program of liaison activities focusing on seven primary areas, and a forum for liaison communication. Hallmarks of the plan included intensive subject specialization (beyond collection development), extensive communication with users, and personal information services. Specialization was expected to promote competence, communication, confidence, comfort, and customization. Development of the program required close coordination with other strategic plan implementation teams, including teams for collection development, education, and marketing. This paper discusses the HSCL's planning process and the resulting Library Liaison Program. Although focusing on an academic health center, the planning process and liaison model may be applied to any library serving diverse, subject-specific user populations.  相似文献   

Human Rights,Identities and Conflict Management: A study of school culture as experienced through classroom relationships     

Charlotte Carter  Audrey Osler 《Cambridge Journal of Education》2000,30(3):335-356

This paper presents the findings of an action research project designed to examine the dynamics of classroom relationships and perceptions of how rights and identities operate in an all boys' comprehensive school in the English West Midlands. The principal aims of the research were to examine the feasibility of adopting a human rights framework as a basis for school life and to evaluate subsequent relationships and identities. The first section of this paper examines the potential of human rights education to promote constructive relationships and manage conflict. It takes the 1989 United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child as its framework for action. We then outline the methodology adopted and consider how the classroom environment affects and is affected by those working within it. We reflect on the expression of identities and understandings of rights and responsibilities in the classroom by both students and teachers and the impact of these understandings and of masculine identities on classroom management. Although we recognise the findings of action research are necessarily situation specific and possibly transient and/or changeable, we draw on these findings to develop a model which may be of value to those seeking to develop schools as human rights communities.  相似文献   

The story so far: a summary of the contributions to the ‘Dissertations into practice’ feature          下载免费PDF全文

Audrey Marshall 《Health information and libraries journal》2015,32(3):236-240

The ‘Dissertations into practice’ feature began life in March 2012 with a dual aim: to encourage students and new professionals to write for publication and to highlight the impact of student research on policy and practice. This article reflects on the initiative and to summarise what has been achieved so far. It highlights the diverse range of contributions to the feature so far and proves that student research can and does influence policy and practice. It also demonstrates that, with a bit of encouragement and support, students are willing and able to write for academic publication. AM  相似文献   

Pedagogical approaches to exploring theory–practice relationships in an outdoor education teacher education programme     

Kathleen Clayton  Heidi Smith  Janet Dyment 《Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education》2014,42(2):167-185

Understanding theory–practice relationships in pre-service teacher education is an enduring concern for many teacher educators. Drawing on data from an investigation into the theory–practice nexus in an outdoor education teacher education programme, this article examines pedagogical approaches to exploring theory and practice with pre-service teachers. The investigation, a qualitative case study, examined the views of the programme’s teacher educators (authors) using an analytical lens informed by two similar theoretical models.

The article focuses on elements that were found to be central to pedagogical approaches within the programme: self-awareness, experience, reflexivity, and a “community of learners.” While the approaches represent a departure from “theory application” and “theory–practice integration” approaches, and a move towards praxis development, the study highlighted challenges and issues including the need for teacher educators to scrutinise theory–practice relationships in their own teaching and discourse. Implications and possibilities for future practice are considered.  相似文献
