Responsive Pedagogy, Dialogue and Leadership the Key to Academic Success
Public schools in the US comprise of students hailing from diverse racial, cultural and economic backgrounds (Pehmer et.al, 2015). While certain pupils belong to poor households, just as many come from affluent backgrounds. According to an ethnic/racial survey performed in 1995, the racial composition of Oak View School located in California’s Huntington Beach and having a 609-strong student population was: 529 Hispanics, 14 Whites, 1 Black, 1 Filipino, 1 Asian, and 1 Pacific Islander. Considering the rich cultural diversity of public schools in present-day urban America, it is… Continue Reading...

“A New Framework for Understanding Parental Involvement: Setting the Stage for Academic Success,” published in the RSF: The Russell Sage Foundation Journal of the Social Sciences, Harris and Robinson (2016) offer a new framework for understanding parental involvement to permit greater systematization in comparisons of studies; their framework is called stage setting, based upon the premise that, “Stage-setters create a life space—the parameters within which the actor’s performance occurs—that corresponds with the intended action” (Harris and Robinson, 2016, p.189). This article reflects the focus of the journal, which is to solicit peer-reviewed articles from academics from fields across multiple disciplines in… Continue Reading...
own pace. Technology allows for customization of lesson plans which enables a better learning experience for special education students who often require customization for academic success. Without the use of technology, special education students have limited options.
Barriers still exist in terms of technology and teaching. This is especially true for special education (Cornelius & Nagro, 2014). Special education teachers may integrate some aspect of technology in their curriculum, but some remain resistant, believing technology integration is unnecessary. Schools may be at fault because of the continued lack of policy changes and training for special education teachers. Those with learning disabilities (the majority of special education students) require additional instruction and varied teaching (Fernandez-Lopez,… Continue Reading...
Lack of resources means GAP students cannot accomplish goals of academic success. To fully assist GAP students in meeting the demands of current academic avenues and handle the stress of perceived barriers, action must be done to understand further the student population and improve existing services in GAP that consider limited resources.
Literature Review
The Guadalupe Alternative Program has changed in the last decade. Prior to the recent changes, it has met the needs of a majority Latino student population of Minneapolis, St. Paul. While GAP has achieved success in the past helping the student population, the influx of Karen… Continue Reading...
not the case at Butler College Prep. Edgerson and Kritsonis (2006) show that the principal-teacher relationship is crucial for facilitating student academic success; therefore, it should be emphasized as part of the Growth Plan that the principal work on being friendlier and more approachable in interactions with teachers.
Finally, the third most important area of need, as identified by the questionnaire, is the… Continue Reading...
Assignment 1
A lack of self-regulation can hinder academic success. Conversely, being intentional can lead to meeting performance outcomes and acquiring deeper learning. Through a development of personalized learning strategies, it is possible to take concrete steps toward becoming an intentional learner. My assigned learner is Dan, who tends to procrastinate, remains unfocused throughout the day, and lacks both confidence and self-esteem. Dan also has trouble with self-reflection, and is uncomfortable asking for help.
To FIT his learning patterns more intentionally, Dan would do well to increase confluence skills to increase the Forging process. Dan would also benefit… Continue Reading...
A consistent class attendance is an important factor in academic success of any student. In defense to this, several studies have since quantitatively confirmed this, revealing that absenteeism negatively affects the students’ performance. This because, the students that miss classes on a given date are meaningfully more likely to give incorrect response to questions provided to them in relation to the session materials as compared to those that were present. Nevertheless, there also exist other external factors apart from absenteeism that affects the students’ performance such as, the quiz performance, academic ability and the student’s gender. Institutions should ensure… Continue Reading...
shaky personal and legal limbo which serves to eclipse his occupational and academic successes. This stance definitely doesn’t convince all audiences of the need for a more empathetic immigration policy. In the end, the book might best function as a fine accompaniment to other undocumented migrant-related researches and literature for scholarly audiences (Emily 470). American migrant experiences are closely associated with individual migrants’ nationalities, socioeconomic standing and race. The writer bravely tackles a few stereotypes specific to Mexican migrants, in a candid and personal manner. Migrant stereotypes have remained a grave issue, whether in the case of Second-World-War era Japanese Americans, Chinese… Continue Reading...

taking part in sex trafficking, reproductive health issues, restricted employment opportunities, lower academic success, and non-communicable illnesses (CDC, 2019). The impacts childhood abuse or trauma directly relate to greater risks of substance abuse, imprisonment in adulthood, and mental health issues.
Overview of the problem
Four different groups of child abuse are described by the American CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention); emotional abuse, sexual abuse, physical abuse, and lastly neglect.

Neglect can be described as failing to provide for the needs of a child… Continue Reading...
and support intellectually rigorous and coherent systems of curriculum, instruction, and assessment to promote each student’s academic success and well-being” (p.1) Historically, according to the literature, many forms of standardized assessments have found to be inadequate in the manner in which they address student diversity.
As noted by Kruse (2016), cultural bias can be expressed on standardized exams based upon results, including “significantly different results for definable subgroups from apparently similar ability levels” as well as “issues with the fair and equitable interpretation and use of test results” (p.23). Cultural biases can include the use of language or references which certain socio-economic groups may be less… Continue Reading...
