...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A person's education is one of the most important factors in determining whether or not they will become a productive member of society. That is why when considering an education the quality of the education is almost as important as the education itself. So when private schools came into the picture the debate then began between public and private schools. There have been many discrepancies between the values of a public school as opposed to a private school. Advocates of private school argue that the education received in one of these facilities is more valuable and rewarding than any other educational opportunity (Greifner, 2007). On the other hand, supporters of public schools feel that the students are better-rounded, both scholastically and worldly, when in public schools. Many feel that public exposes students to all types of diversity and situations that will make them better adapted for the real world (Kennedy, 2007). Statement of the Problem It seems most people are of the opinion that private schools are superior; the issue is simply if it is worth the money. However, this may not be the case. Therefore, how does one gauge the superiority of a school? This very difficult question has no easy answers. The most common and maybe the only way researchers can create and measure the effectiveness of a school is by measuring achievement. The American Heritage Dictionary seems to define achievement as “something that has been accomplished successfully...

...ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to determine if differentiated instruction had an effect on student achievement. The researcher sought to answer two research questions “Does differentiated instruction have an impact on student achievement?” and “Are there components of differentiated instruction that have a greater impact on student achievement than others?” The study followed a mixed method design and consisted of two parts. First, a quantitative analysis of test scores from the Michigan Education Assessment Program (MEAP) and teacher and student survey results were analyzed as a means to outline broad relationships from the data. Results from the quantitative findings directed the researcher on how to frame the qualitative design. Second, a qualitative analysis of classroom observations and interviews with teachers was conducted. The qualitative portion of this study followed a social interactionism orientation adopted by social interactionism theorist (Blumer, 1969). This approach allowed the researcher to analyze relationships between the differentiation variables. The quantitative data methods of surveys and test scores, qualitative techniques of classroom observations, and teacher interviews were triangulated. Triangulation of data was used to support research findings through independent measures to point to the same conclusions (Webb et al., 1965). The conceptual framework (Hall, 2004) served as the foundation in the identification of the differentiation variables...

...Examining the School Dropout Rate of Students with Disabilities Strayer University Instructor: Dr. Steven Brown Research and Communication- RES 531 August 22, 2010 Abstract This paper examines the reported school dropout rate of students with disabilities and attempts to identify determinants and interventions that are available as well as offering potential programs and interventions in the future. As our population of children identified with disabilities grows we must anticipate their growth into adulthood and prepare them for entrance into the workforce, or prepare ourselves for the financial implications of institutionalizing and caring for this population. By examining historical statistic information along with past and current program implementation conclusions will be formulated and offered regarding what has been successful and where improvements are possible. Context of the Problem There are a multitude of issues that parents of special needs children are unaware of at the onset of diagnosis. The question of what happens to your child when you are gone is paramount in the minds of all parents. One problem is being unaware of what questions to ask. My son received his diagnosis from a psychiatrist who did not make me aware of any medical testing that should be addressed. Necessary information or guidance is not always provided by the attending physician. Educational needs are also of paramount importance, however if parents are unaware of necessary...

...CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the study Every society shapes its children in the image of its own culture(Berger and Berger 1979). In ancient Sparta, young boys were taught discipline, obedience, physical prowess and self-denial through harsh treatment and deprivation. In nearby Athens , parents raised their sons to be artistically sensitive and broadly educated as well as athletic. These practices produced quite different individuals as well as societies( Berger and Berger , 1979). The process of instilling such fundamental elements of culture in a society’s new members is called socialization. The nature of the human animal both allows and requires socialization(Elkin and Handel, 1984,p.18). Through socialization people learn to participate effectively in the communities to which they belong. When people from all walks of life with different cultures converge at one place for educational purposes there is usually a clash of cultures and through interaction and new socialization it is possible to create a new culture where these people can learn to co-exist with their differences, they learn from each other and learn to integrate new norms and values with their existing ones. This is known as resocialization or secondary socialization. Secondary socialization takes place outside the home. It is where children and adults learn how to act in a way that is appropriate for the situations that they are in. schools require very different behavior from the...

...CHAPTER ONE 1.0. INTRODUCTION 2.1. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The United Nations convention of the rights of the child states that every child has the right to an education that develops their personality, talents, mental and physical abilities to their fullest potential. On the contrary to this right, the UN (United Nations) convention estimated that 1.3 million American and also Nigerian students drop out of school. The problem of high school dropout has generated increased interest among researchers, policy makers and educators in recent years. “Dropout” may refer to dropping out of school or one who quits from school (Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, 2000). Dropout rates of teens in secondary school are of great interest to educators across the country. An analysis has been done by researchers to identify the risk factors related to high school dropout rates. The analysis shows various factors for dropping out of school which include: school related, family related and job relates causes as well as influences from peers and residential mobility. These risk factors are then related to what educators can do to improve been programming efforts as well as decrease high school dropout rates (National Educational Longitudinal study, 2000). Dropping out of school is an issue faced by many teens today. According to the United States Department of Education, National Center for Education Statistics (2011), it enumerated some factors which causes dropout among secondary school...
