...influence his/her students’ academic performance by believing in them. Whether it’s the overachiever or the underachievers, students wants to feel cared and valued. There are many strategies to of expectations that can positively affect a student’s achievement in grade 3-5. We will look at 5 expectations that would positively influence student achievement; participating in class discussion, taking daily notes, communicating positively with each others in a group, partnering to complete cooperative assignments and completing work to earn passing scores. Having students participating in class discussion can help influence student achievement. The teacher can encourage & motivate students to share their thoughts &/or opinion. When a student knows what to expect and what is expected from them they are more engaged to learn. Students will also participate in classroom discussion when the material is related to their own lives. This can help improve a student’s grade because it encourages students to evaluate events, topics or results, others points of view and improve oral skills (Planning & Conducting Instruction 2009). Taking daily notes is another example that can help influence student achievement. Taking good notes can help improve a student’s learning by helping them remember the information. This can help improve a student’s grade because the students will be able to review for quizzes and test. Also, taking good notes can help improve a student’s handwriting. Communicating positively...

...romances on students` academic achievement in KIMEP Survey Results Spring 2011 The problem under investigation was the association of love relations and academic achievement among students of KIMEP. The main goal was to find out the influence of romances on students’ academic performance in KIMEP and changes in their GPA depending on age and gender. It was hypothesized that problems in personal relationship result in a poor academic performance of a student. In addition, it was assumed that if there any problems in students’ love relations it will be reflected on their attendance and participation in classes. Moreover positive and negative sides of changes in study progress were examined. In order to achieve relevant data researchers used questionnaire distributed among 30 students of KIMEP. The present research found the following results. 30 people aged from 16 to 25 were asked by means of questionnaire. Table 1 shows that 57% were males and 43% were females. The majority of respondents were BSSPA students (43%), 30% were BSC, 14% BAE students and 10%, BSSIR/PS and only 3% were students of BAIJ program. Table 1. Program of students BSSPA | 43% | BSSIR/PS | 10% | BAE | 14% | BAIJ | 3% | BSC | 30% | First of all students were asked do they have any love relations with somebody not necessary from KIMEP.

...duration and complexity, students’ engagement is never homogeneously high and productive, but rather it fluctuates depending on a number of factors (Mcwayne et al., 2012; Mattingly et al., 2013) such as parental involvement (Ho & Williams, 2008; McNeal, 2009; Jose et al., 2010;). Students engage better in school when parents play a positive role in their learning process (Jackson, 2010; 2011; Green et al., 2012). Students are more likely to make a personal commitment to engage in rigorous learning when they know parents care about how well they do (Kilgore, Snyder & Lentz, 2008; Keyes, 2010). However, despite the crucial role of parents, studies in relation to their involvement remain scarce. Students’ low engagement with academic activities is considered the main reason for dissatisfaction (Kuh, 2009), negative experience, and dropping out of school (Linnenbrink&Pintrich, 2009; Jimmerson, Campos & Greif, 2010). One of the contributory factors is the level of parents’ positive interference to the academic journey of the school (Brookmeyer, Fanti&Henrich, 2008). More significantly, most findings show positive relationship between parental involvement and students’ engagement in school and in the classroom (Dauber & Epstein, 2008; Gorard, Rees &Fevre, 2009;Cotton, 2011;Fantuzzo et al., 2012). Nevertheless, the understanding of parental involvement is largely limited to U.S. and Western studies. In the Philippines, poor student engagement and inclination...

...learning. Effective instructional leaders are intensely involved in curricular and instructional issues that directly affect student achievement (Cotton, 2003). The writer of this paper acknowledges that school principals should play the role of instructional leaders, not just a school manager. The reality is that are many demands on a principals time and management skills making it difficult for most of them to spend time in classrooms, when performing teacher evaluation. Principals often make sure that teachers have the opportunities for professional developments, since they themselves rarely have any time to directly affect their teacher’s growth. The approach of sharing instructional leadership with teachers can present some organization challenges. The writer understood from this course that Communication is critical in a principal’s job. A leader must be clear, consistent in communication with students, staff, parents and community which, is imperative to the role of a principal. Similar to the teaching and reinforcement of math and reading skills, policies, procedures, and expectations need to be taught, practiced, and reinforced to students and staff. The writer acknowledges that the reinforcement of policies and procedures with discussions regarding their purpose also helps in communicating expectations with students and staff members. When communicating with staff, technology provides leaders s with the tools and ease to communicate with all members on a daily basis. ...

...Swati Rath America’s Promises 2710 Prof. Sipple Policy Paper Parent Involvement in Primary and Secondary Schools Educators have increasingly identified parental involvement as the primary vehicle by which to elevate academic achievement from current levels. However, in many cases, it is not always easy for parents to find time and energy to become involved or to coordinate with schedules for school events. A visit to school can be perceived as an uncomfortable experience, or they may have their hands full with a job and other children. “In 1990-91, one out of every four public school teachers cited lack of parent involvement as a serious problem in their schools. This problem was also described as "serious" by 4.3 percent of private school teachers. Among both public and private school teachers, this problem topped the list in the percentage of teachers who rated it as a serious problem in their schools. Secondary teachers were more likely than elementary teachers to report lack of parent involvement as a serious problem in their schools” (Loos). Given this, it becomes clear something needs to be done about the lack of parent involvement in primary and secondary schools. Should states mandate parent integration programs for all K-12 institutions? In terms of definitions, parental involvement was defined as “parental participation in the educational processes and experiences of their children”, communication as “the extent to which parents and their children communicated about...

...Introduction Nationwide, schools are being faced with a rapid increase in the number of students of color, culturally and linguistically diverse students, students with learning disabilities, students from low-income families, and students from non-traditional and single parent families. As a result, determining how schools can adapt to meet the needs of these vast demographics, as well as how the varied demographics can play a role in the education of these students, has become more than just a topic of conversation and research for academic professionals, educators, researchers, and practitioners. Literature and research point to educational reform by improving school systems to foster multicultural educational environments. Specifically, school leadership and professional development are closely looked at as driving factors in which to achieve this educational reform. In their article “A Blueprint for Developing Culturally Proficient/Responsive School Administrators in Special Education,” Bakken and Smith (2011) focus on the need for school administrators to be culturally responsive/proficient in the special education arena particularly in order to better meet the needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students who have learning disabilities (LD). Bakken and Smith highlight research that explains why school administrators should prepare themselves and their staff to work with CLD students of various races, ethnicities, languages, beliefs, and expressions of cultural...

...testing. It aims at investigating students’ current study situation and work out the English language oral assessment for middle school students. Key words: oral English test current situation strategies Current situation about oral English test Usually, English teachers pay more attention on testing their students’ ability of language comprehension than language production. They often use listening or writing test forms to classify the students’ level. Students’ communicating ability is frequently ignored. In fact, language production is more difficult to study than language comprehension. Note that communicating is used in the sense of conveying information. Communicating ability really shows how well the students master the language. Oral tests can just be managed to test students’ language production as well as the communicating ability. Nowadays, more and more teachers and students aware the importance of communication. Teachers use various teaching methods to encourage their students to speak English to have real communication. They also have the aware of arranging oral tests to judge the students’ communicative ability. However they are failure to obtain the accurate information of the students’ real English level because of many respects. The following situations commonly and obviously existed in the oral testing in middle school. \ 1 the unreasonable testing formats Usually we adopt these three formats of oral English test: achievement tests, diagnostic tests and...

...ongoing teaching and learning to improve students’ achievement. This process emphasis on focus and coherence. The Common Core Math Standards require us to incorporate a balanced approach between procedural skill, fluency, and conceptual understanding. As we can see in the 2016-17 CAASPP results, our students are struggling to reason, defend and debate their thinking when solving problems. Only 37% of our students are meeting math standards on the CAASPP. When we compare this results to the benchmark data we see that between 60% to 68% of students are passing. Do to the gap in student achievement between these assessments, the math department will be engaging professional learning around instruction strategies to address the needs of students performing below grade level. As a team, we recognize that effective professional development must be sustained, ongoing, content-focused. Math colaboration will be embedded in professional learning communities where we will be able to strategize on instructional math tools to address the problem of practice we identified.

...school culture. Organizations with a positive culture have cohesiveness and responsibility towards maintaining embedded attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors (Ali, Brownson, Kahlert, & Sobel, 2002). It is important for leaders to create cultures that have values, equity, and high expectations. Effective leaders accomplish positive cultures with the use of appropriate dialogue, actions, and symbolic gestures. The overall goal of positive school culture is effective student learning and achievement. Therefore, school leaders must establish a culture that meets the needs of diverse student populations and challenges of accountability-driven education systems. This also involves effective collaborative instruction that is designed to maintain a focus on improving student learning. School leaders are required to ensure that students are meeting performance standards in a collaborative process. The research in this paper offers several suggestions for school leaders to facilitate their responsibilities to student achievement. Organizational development and management are discussed to provide principles and concepts that promote a dynamic continuum of teaching and learning. An organization that is nourished with trust and teamwork further develop group processes and consensus building. Avolio and Gardner (2005) discuss four elements of authencity that are crucial...
