Student Mobility in a Choice School District and it\u27s Impact on School Performance Scores
No full textSince World War II, student mobility and its relationship to student academic performance on mandated standardized tests have been researched with varied findings. Student mobility contributes to student disengagement and the postponement of instruction of mobile and nonmobile students (Smith, Fine, & Paine, 2008). Though mobility is not the sole cause of poor student performance, its indirect impact influences a school’s progress towards Adequate Yearly Progress. This quantitative study examines the correlation between student mobility and the school performance rating in an all-choice school district. State Department of Education data was used to determine school-based student mobility in the all-choice school district. This study intends to fill a gap in the literature by analyzing student mobility in an all-choice-school district, and the impact that student mobility has on schools’ progress towards Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP). Supportive measures are needed to meet the needs of highly mobile students, which is critical to students and school districts\u27 academic achievement, because student mobility affects each school’s progress differently
We Want to Do More Than Survive: Abolitionist Teaching and the Pursuit of Educational Freedom
No full textTEACHING DURING COVID-19: THE LIVED EXPERIENCES OF TITLE I EDUCATORS TRANSITIONING FROM FACE-TO-FACE INSTRUCTION TO REMOTE INSTRUCTION
Full text linkThe purpose of this study was to investigate how school closures resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic impacted school educators who teach in Title I schools serving minority students located in a southern region of the United States. Due to the swift nature of the COVID-19 pandemic and the massive impact on many communities’ health and well-being, government officials moved quickly to close schools. Teachers, much like everyone else, had little voice in the launch of remote learning, expectations of remote teaching, or how to best support students and families during a global pandemic. Educators had to rely on their skills and knowledge to launch remote instruction. There was limited formal guidance for teachers, leaving much of the teaching force disarmed. This qualitative phenomenological study explored teachers’ lived experience as they transitioned from face-to-face teaching to remote teaching. Schlossberg’s Transition Theory (1984) provides a theoretical framework that helps to better understand the critical aspects of the experience of transition. Data were collected through interviews, focus groups, and field notes. The data were then coded using Delve, a coding software used in qualitative research to analyze information and identify themes. Results from this study are beneficial in creating a structure to address teacher concerns and set up a mechanism for the inevitable occurrences such as natural disasters that results in the immediate shift to remote learning
Tools for Salvation
Full text linkPoverty and oppression are elements of society that have persisted through different vehicles of power and dominance. In the contemporary situation, we suffer from forms of hierarchy that are not wholly new, as we exist in a global society that utilizes classical theological frameworks that perpetuate the subjugation of certain groups of people. Theologians have crafted theories and concepts to address these conditions, however, these concepts seem incomplete or contradictory in completing the task on their own. By combining some of these frameworks with concepts from critical theorists, we can generate stronger and more holistic models that address the conditions of oppression and poverty through critique and the formulation of alternatives that address the roots of colonial ways of thinking that continue to reign over the modern world. More specifically, the theological frameworks presented by Gustavo Gutiérrez, centered around sin and grace, can be corrected by the integration of Ivone Gebara’s concept of relatedness, Houria Bouteldja’s theory of dignity, and Audre Lorde’s theory of eroticism. A framework drawing on these diverse thinkers can effectively respond to classical frameworks that end up justifying the oppression of marginalized peoples. Synthesizing these frameworks can offer a perspective that can concretely and realistically offer a vision of what Christian theologians have typically called “salvation.
