Summary of the Article
In this article “Parents Using Explicit Reading Instruction with Their Children At-Risk for Reading Difficulties”, Bethany M. McConnell and Rick Kubina explains how parents plays a role in teaching their child or children how to read. The article talks about an experiment that was conducted, which was a reading program called Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons (TYCTR). The reading program was used on children with different disability and below grade level. The program basically involved the help of the parents teaching the kids at home. The study was conducted on the premise that more than six million students are eligible for special education services in the U.S. due to their difficulties in learning how to read and write. However, children who cannot read and write tend to have poor outcomes including less chances of graduating from high school despite the increased focus on early reading prevention in primary grades (McConnell & Kubina, 2016).
As part of the parent implemented reading program, parents were required to use the lessons with their child for 15 minutes a night, five nights per week. The intervention required parents to teach 15 letter sounds and phonemic awareness skills using the 30 structured lessons. While the intervention...
During this process, the researcher also recorded different classifications of questions and comments of parents. The categories of responses took place after the conclusion of the instruction for the reading program and commencement of the parent teaching of the child.
The dependent variables for this study are oral reading fluency and lesson checklists whereas the independent variables included parent implementation of TYCTR. The experimenter implemented a multiple baseline design variant known as multiple probe design across students to evaluate progress with sentence list sheets. Through this design, the researcher monitored any changes in student behavior prior to the intervention while removing the necessity for recording ongoing baseline of the remaining students not subjected to the intervention. The procedures employed in the study commenced with pre-screening of all students upon entering kindergarten and two times throughout the school year. The pre-screening focused on latter naming identification and opening sound fluency. This was followed by administering baseline i.e. 30 second time sentence practice sheet, parent training at the…

3.4 Finally, I am interested in whether or not there is a trickle-down effect from leftist or rightist politics style at the provincial and federal levels. 1.3 Objectives 1.3.1 There are two major objectives for this research. The first is to compare the level of motivation among secondary school teachers under the Vancouver British Columbia School District in Canada by their socio-demographic and organizational factors. My hypothesis in advance of investigating this is
Teacher evaluation is a controversial topic. It is often thought by the general public and even some educators that once a teacher rises to a certain level there is little incentive to alter practices based on current research or training and even more alarming the ability for an administrator to terminate a teacher's contract can be difficult. According to surveys of parents and administrators, incompetence in the teaching profession has become
As I began to realize that I was expecting less than they were capable of I realized that some of my preconceived notions about the teaching profession were coloring my viewpoint. One example was the day a preschool student from the regular education class came to me and handed me a book that she wanted to read to me. I was surprised but let her open the book and begin reading.
The ultimate goal is to increase student achievement by improving the hiring process by adding another layer of screening, namely teacher efficacy. The following aims will support the ability to achieve these goals. Aim 1: To evaluate the association between full and part time faculty regarding the characteristic of teacher efficacy. Hypothesis One: Part-time teachers sampled will report statistically lower teacher efficacy scores than will sampled full time faculty in business
There are some papers that are to be released and referred to by her in the above article. In the first of those papers, the belief is that the present result of the aptitude tests of the teachers today is the same as was the case a generation earlier, but the best among them are not likely to become teachers. In the second paper, the result shows that the
Teacher Education in Nigeria: A Comparison with the United States There is no nation that can grow beyond the quality of its education (Lawal, 2003). A nation can only develop meaningfully and attain professionalism through a good teacher education program, which begins with the organization of teacher education and the resolving of its problems. The paper concerns itself with teacher education in Nigeria, comparing this nation's program with that of the
