That responsibility is of the school -- to ensure that the adult citizens so needed by contemporary society are produced by the school system -- those individuals being responsible for their views and able to analyze and synergize information so they may "vote intelligently." For Dewey, the central tendency of individuals was to act appropriately to perpetuate the "good and just" society (Tozer, 2008).
This of course set the stage for continuous criticism and requestioning just what it was that the school systems can do. For the last few decades, pedagoglical theory has undergone a number of paradigm shifts. As the classroom changes, so does the theorietical structure behind it -- diversity, technology, globalism -- all contribute to the need to find a robust way to communicate learning activities, to help students move beyond rote understanding, and most especially a way to evaluate progress that is meaningful to not only…...

Board of Education for African-American: "gains in educational attainment." (Guiffrida, 2006) it is pointed out in this work that the school counselor is in a particularly special or 'unique' position to offer assistance to both students and the families of students during the transition into college as well as in the provision of referrals to programs and counseling needs. African-American programs also exist that provide support for students. Guiffrida points out work conducted prior to the present research report in which it was concluded by Guiffrida (2005) "...that it was important for African-American students whose families provided emotional, academic, and financial supports, and who allowed and encouraged their children to make healthy separations" when the student made the transition to college to strengthen the capacity for the student to achieve academically.

The work edited by Denbo and Beaulier entitled: "Improving Schools for African-American Students" relates that institutional racism is a discussion that may be tough for most individuals to handle and even highly "...stressful or shocking" to some individuals. (2002) Several issues are addressed in this work that: "...together form many of the components of institutional racism." (2002) Following this the issues that are "related to the effects of institutional racism are addressed." (2002) Also addressed are the factors related to special education and the underachievement of African-American students. Stated in this work is the fact that culture is an experience of a very "powerful" nature in the lives of both "individuals and groups of people." (Denbo and Beaulier, 2002) Denbo and Beaulier describe culture as: "...an ever-evolving constellation of influences...shapes the essence, experiences, and worldviews of individuals, groups, communities and institutions alike." (2002)

The work of Henry explores the academic achievement of African-American students and specifically those with Learning Disabilities. This is especially important in the light of the fact that African-Americans are represented: "...disproportionately...in special education classrooms..." (2005) Interventions this work notes to be successful in assisting academic achievement among these students includes: "...positive teacher feedback, active parental involvement, use of multiple intelligence theory, validation of cultural heritage, making instruction relevant to student lives, and increase choice and responsibility in learning." (Henry, 2005) Wimberly (2002) states findings that a gap exists between the expectations that African-American students hold for themselves and the actual participation in postsecondary education two years following graduation from high school. (Wimberly, paraphrased; 2002) the gap is identified as being evidenced in the fact that 88% of these students had expectations to earn an advanced degree or college degree but that the reality is that only 56% were actually moving in the direction that they had expected toward reaching that goal. (2002)

The work of Harriet Tyson entitled: "Overcoming Structural Barriers to Good Textbooks" states that a recent research study reports that:.." mathematic and science textbooks are just as splintered as the system itself..." additionally stating that this reported study: "...has been preceded by nearly three decades of research on textbooks, virtually all showing that textbooks flit from topic to topic covering only a few in the depth a beginner would need to understand, remember and integrate the knowledge."

ace, Ethnicity, and Academic Achievement - Proposal of esearch Design
This research will study the relationship between race and ethnicity and academic achievement.

This study will look at whether students from five racial classifications - White, Asian, Black, Hispanic and Native American - show statistically significant differences in their scores in reading and math. Using disaggregated data, this study will also examine whether significant differences occur within these racial classifications. In addition, this paper will study whether socio-economic status and language proficiency have a significant effect on a child's reading and math skills.

Because of many socio-economic factors linked to the construction of race, this paper predicts that white and Asian students will show higher test scores in reading and math. However, because racial classifications can obscure the differences between ethnicities, this paper also predicts that there will be significant differences in test scores within the racial categories themselves. In addition, affluence is…...

The elationship between Metacognition and Academic Achievement in College Students

It is obvious today those college professors are being faced with classrooms that are full of students who are coming to them with different levels of knowledge in regards to the way they are learning. Some students are active, self-directed learners who know how they learn and are able to apply what they recognize to numerous learning circumstances. Also, others could possibly be average students that are actually working hard and who are able to know what their learning weaknesses and strengths, but who may not sufficiently control their learning. Still others possibly will be inert learners who have little consciousness of how they learn and how to control their learning. Essentially, university…...

As educationalists search for ways to improve the modern educational system and to eradicate the problems in it, it is indispensable for them to investigate the causality of these problems and system's shortcomings. It is apparent that the drawbacks do not come into being completely from academics. As a result, it is obvious that a dynamic involvement of parents in the education of their children is a requisite.

In order for student to achieve success academically, a relationship based on respect and mutual understanding between students, teachers, and parents is of the essence. Loopholes…...

Education and Emotions esearch
The idea of emotional intelligence arose in the business community, where it was felt that traditional intelligence measures such as IQ testing were inadequate to explain all forms of intelligence. The idea of emotional intelligence was developed in the works of Daniel Goleman, and other scholars have sought to refine the concept. Frameworks such as those provided by Salovey and Mayer (1990) sought to define the traits of emotional intelligence and differentiate them from the more patterns and systems-based IQ-type intelligence. Indeed, by the mid-1990s, Goleman (1996) wrote that "school success is predicted largely by emotional and social measures," highlighting that scholars of emotion already recognized the value of developing emotional intelligence in order for students to perform better academically. It should not surprise anybody who works in education that emotional intelligence plays a role in success -- how a student handles stress, interacts with peers in…...

Learning Styles
Different researchers have described learning styles largely as an indication for individual differences. These dissimilarities might become a manifestation of themselves in life styles and also in personality types. In particular, learning styles can be perceived as the preferred or characteristic ways of an individual in dispensing and converting knowledge. They can also be deemed to be the reasoning, emotional, and psychosomatic individualities that serve as comparatively unchanging pointers of how learners distinguish, interrelate with, and react to the learning environment. Learning styles have an influence on the academic achievement and performance of individuals (Abidin et al., 2011). This research paper encompasses a synthesis of different literature reviews that cover learning styles and academic performance.

There are several different conceptions and measures that seek to define learning styles. Learning styles can be distinguished into three methods, which include pragmatic (surface), intrinsic (deep), and competitive (achieving) (Furnham, 2012). Every approach to…...

There have also been a number of software applications developed specifically for use in the classroom that can provide at-risk students with the opportunity to catch up with their peers, but here again it is important to recognize that at-risk students may lack the same level of computer expertise as their peers and steps must be taken to ensure that they have been provided with the initial training necessary to use these tools effectively.
One approach that has shown significant promise in teaching at-risk students how to use computer technology effectively and in improving their academic performance is the Constructionist Alternative Learning Laboratory in the Maine Youth Center, a state facility for at-risk students who have been court-ordered to attend the program. Some educators might shake their heads and suggest that there was little that could be done with young people who had reached the point in their academic…...

Personal
My most important non-academic achievement was volunteer work I did against child abuse. I love children and feel that they need protection more than anyone else. They are delicate and need adults' attention, love and care. However in our country and in many around the world, children are constantly being neglected and subjected to inhumane treatment by bad parents or uncaring guardians. I started working for children in high school by joining the society for child abuse and child protection. As a volunteer, I was required to spread the message around and make students more aware of this problem. It was a spiritually very enlightening since it put me in direct contact with children whose life had been put in danger by some adults but who could now benefit from love and care provided by volunteers of the society. We were also required to hold small seminars at various places…...

Education
The Affects of Block Scheduling on Student Academic Achievement

The overall strategy of utilizing block scheduling is to organize the day into fewer, but longer, class periods to allow flexibility for instructional activities. Block scheduling is used primarily at middle school and high school levels. Currently, block scheduling is defined as a restructuring of the school day into classes longer than the traditional fifty-minute period classes (Adams & Salvaterra, 1997; Georgia Department of Education, 1998). Gordon Cawelti (1994) agrees with this concept and verifies the definition supplied by Adams and Salvaterra along with the Georgia Department of Education as one that works to meet the needs of all models. The expressed goal of block scheduling programs is to improve student academic performance. Some other benefits of this schedule are increased student and teacher morale, encouragement for the use of innovative teaching methods that address multiple learning styles, and an improved atmosphere…...

Research has shown that the nation overall, approves and supports investment in education (Allison, 2005). Most citizens recognize the importance of education and its ability to enhance the outcomes of those who learn high demand skills and trades. Education is an essential element in Americas ability to properly compete with other nations on a much more global basis. As a result, America has the highest spending per capita on education than any other developed nation in the world (Adams, 1987). Unfortunately, the results have not manifested themselves in the manner that is congruent with the investment. Outcomes have been adversely impacted by a litany…...

Here the author sides statistics related to childhood obesity and its implications for society and educational system as a whole. According to the article school-aged children have been shown to have higher rates of overweight (17.9%) and obesity (8.0%) than preschool children (15.2% and 6.3%). The authors suggest that children are much prone to becoming overweight during their school years as oppose to their prior preschool years. To combat this growing trend, schools, governments and law makers have engaged in various campaigns designed to mitigate the influence of a sedentary lifestyle on the…...

Cultural Case Study: Maria
This cultural case study examines the language competencies, social and human capital assets of a Spanish immigrant to the U.S. named Maria. She is 16 and lives in a community where the Hispanic population is considerable. Her family is supportive and engaged in her life and she receives substantial assistance from them. She is motivated and does well in her studies. She is able to practice her L1 and her L2 all the time thanks to a school that is good at helping ELLs and a community that shares in her ethnic background where her L1 is still commonly used among the inhabitants. This paper also provides some simple suggestions for what the school could do to continue to help Maria to achieve her objectives.

Teachers' Perceptions on the Effects of Social Promotion on Students
The problem in an urban elementary school in Eastern New York specifically, is the social promotion of fourth grade students. Currently, nothing is being done to address the issue of social promotion, which is supported by state education policies that allow children to be passed to the next grade level (Vallett & Annetta, 2014). This policy places at risk students with a learning disability with students who are working on grade level, which causes misunderstanding between students and teachers and among students themselves as they develop negative perceptions of one another (Trussell, Lewis, & aynor, 2016). The problem that arises from this situation is that teachers do not know how to address these issues, as there is a lack of training for educators of students who are at risk students with some form of disability (Trussell et al., 2016).

obtained were numerous: first, I was made aware of the various factors that play a part in developing and implementing a curriculum and a set of standards for schools to follow. These factors include the perspectives and opinions of professional, teachers, administrators, legislators, lobbyists, communities, parents, students and business leaders. In short, there are many stakeholders in education -- many more than what one might think when picturing a normal school of just students and teachers. The reality is that virtually everyone in society is impacted by how state schools are set up. Students and families in communities are impacted; teachers are impacted; businesses are impacted (after all, they will be the ones hiring students once they grow up). So the standards that are set are very important.
How to consider and develop and implement those standards is a second consideration that I was made aware of: no two students…...

There is a substantial amount of evidence that authoritarian parenting is a sub-optimal parenting style because of its negative impacts on children.  To understand why, it is important to understand the authoritarian parenting approach. Authoritarian parents take a strict approach to their children, with an emphasis on obedience from their children.  Authoritarian parents rely on punishments, threats, and shaming to elicit desired behaviors.  They are often described as cold, lacking warmth and responsiveness to their children.  The three other parenting types are permissive parents who are described as warm but lax; authoritative parents who expect their kids to follow the....
