That is why in recent years high schools have started to encourage students to pursue a college education as well as begin to prepare the students for college. The current methods high schools are implementing offer general ways of preparing students for college that are often times ineffective and lack proper execution. Since college preparation is critical for high school students to increase their chance of successfully graduating from college, it is now more crucial than ever before to provide proper college preparation for tomorrow’s college students. However college preparation requires more than just helpful techniques for studying and teaching yourself. College preparation also requires a good amount of hard work and learning core subjects that form the foundation for which we build our...

...meet the standards of related government officials. They identify two levels of training need to be conducted. One is safety of life at sea (SOLAS), another one is seafarers’ training certification and watch keeping (STCW). Both levels involve a series complicated procedures and trainees need take a lot of responsibilities. * Systems Approach to Training However, in this case, after recognized two levels of mandatory training, the employee were taken to pools to learn a series actions, such as how to jump in to water to get people into safety rafts, and how to use equipment in cold-water conditions. It did not provide information of identifying the needs between employees and organization or designing training program according to the current situation. Therefore, I believe that Canadian American transportation System provide inadequate information of using systems model of training. Theoretically, there are four major parts in systems model of training. These are conducting the need assessment, designing the training program, implementing the training program, and evaluating the training program. Firstly, it should conduct needs assessment in terms of three levels. The need assessment can occur at organizational level, which means examine environment and strategy of organization and see how to occur training in the organization. In addition, task level means...

...IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS The full policy process is often described by the following steps: 1) problem definition 2) alternative generation 3) analysis of alternatives 4) policy adoption 5) policy implementation 6) policy evaluation While this course has focused on the first three steps, the last three steps are equally important. A thorough policy analysis will include some consideration of policy implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The policy analyst can sketch out an implementation plan for the most highly ranked alternative(s) that considers: 1) relevant actors and their interests 2) required resources and who might provide them 3) facilitators and barriers likely to be encountered 4) reasonable time frame Implementation analysis might involve writing a "best-case" scenario and a "worst-case" scenario for each policy alternative, as well as the "most likely" outcome. The idea is to think systematically through the implementation process, identify potential problems, and develop actions that can be taken to either avert catastrophes or reduce losses. POLICY MONITORING Policy maintenance refers to keeping the policy or program going after it is adopted. Policy monitoring refers to the process of detecting how the policy is doing. To monitor a policy, some data about the policy must be obtained. A good implementation plan will suggest some ways in which ongoing data about the policy can be generated in the regular course of policy maintenance...

...“Perceptions of the Impact of a PEP Grant on Elementary Physical Education Programs in One School District” 1. For my fifth research study analysis, I chose a study that focused on the impact of a grant on physical education in elementary schools. Many of the studies and research I have read led to one main issue, or one necessity, and that was money and funding to make the physical activity impactful in the schools and for the children. I wanted to understand how a grant either helped or didn’t help the improvement of physical education programs and the impacts it made for the schools. I found this research study through .OneSearch (EBSCO) via UNF and I searched “physical education in elementary schools”. To narrow down my search, I made...

...innovations and performance requirements of the U.S. educational system. Today the theoretical and empirical bases of the TargetTeach design are established by independent research and program evaluations that demonstrate its capability to provide the support that schools need as they struggle to make Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) under Title I of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). These evaluations and research verify that TargetTeach negates the socioeconomic and subgroup challenges that schools face in making AYP. THEORETICAL BASE OF ENI’S TURNAROUND & TRANSFORMATION MODEL The TargetTeach Five-Step Process is a design-based intervention program built upon “a „logic model‟ that describes the „theory of action‟” that determines each implementation (Rowan, Correnti, Miller, & Camburn 2009): TargetTeach Five Step Process instructional practice instructional leadership student achievement TargetTeach focuses on both the short-term and long-term results that ENI customers seek as outcomes of their school reform endeavors. A school‟s instructional leadership interrelates with its patterns of instructional practice to comprise a system of transformation, as indicated by the two-directional arrows. * TargetTeach® is a registered trademark of Evans Newton Incorporated for its school improvement model comprising proprietary products and professional services to align curricula to state and local standards, fill gaps in instructional sequences, implement benchmark...

...youth perform poorly in high school, and many of these youth fail to obtain a high school degree. The costs of failure in high school are growing, both for the individual student and for society overall. Mathematica researchers have conducted many of the most important studies of at-risk youth and interventions designed to address their educational needs. Synthesizing Lessons from Dropout Prevention Programs We have studied a diverse array of dropout prevention approaches, ranging from small programs in a single school to those designed to address the dropout problem in clusters of schools or entire school districts. Mathematica's staff are also principal investigators for the What Works Clearinghouse comprehensive review of evaluations of dropout prevention programs. Our staff are assessing the strength of the evidence on the effectiveness of dropout prevention initiatives and synthesizing the lessons from these studies for policymakers and educators. Re-Engaging Out-of-School Youth Youth who drop out of high school represent a loss of human potential. For the Office of Vocational and Adult Education within the U.S. Department of Education, Mathematica conducted case studies of six dropout recovery programs that help youth ages 16 to 21 return to school, earn a high school credential (either a diploma or GED), and prepare for further education and jobs. Drawing on site visit interviews and an analysis of school records, the study examined program goals and partners, admissions...
