Shapiro (2004) stated that progress monitoring has now become a crucial element in the enhancement of pupil academic outcomes. It has been concluded that literature has evidently shown the concept of progress monitoring that can across different domains such as spelling, mathematics, composition, reading and writing (Hosp & Hosp, 2003)
Activity description and Summary
The progress monitoring program that is being designed focused more on the performance on the pupils according to the curriculum that is designed for them. This performance is basically measured and monitored across a period of time. Technically, this measurement is carried out through every three or every six terms.
The best way to ensure measurement of school wide data is through online software's that can be accessed by not only teachers but by parents as well. By making this data available on the net, it can also be accessed easily by other schools in the county and city. This will make it easy to compare school performance across both counties and states.
Program Outcome Rationale
The major outcome rationale is to ensure efficient communication with the families and increased motivation for the student. The main theme therefore tis to ensure that that the communication that the teacher has established with the family is more detailed. Merely saying that the performance of the student is either bad or good is not good enough. With proper software monitoring the progress of the child, the teacher will be able to represent progress in a very efficient manner. They can show where the child falls as opposed to other children in the class and in the state. This will enable the parents to...
Brooks (2002) stated that parents play a very crucial rule in the academic performance of a child. Due to this reason, it is important to get the parents actively involved in this process.
Therefore, one outcome indicator is the involvement of parents and the other indicator is the curriculum-based measurement of the child. The latter will show how the child is coping with the curriculum and whether he will require any further intervention or not.
Data Analysis
In order to ensure that progress monitoring is carried out in a fair way, it should be carried out against some standardized tests. These tests should assess the average pupil's ability to perform in the different areas. After these standards are set and established, the progress of the pupil should then be measured.
The curriculum-based measurement that was mentioned above basically assesses the child's performance according to the relevant subjects in the curriculum. The major subjects that should be attended to include Math, English, Reading and Writing. The standardized tests will therefore clearly provide scores and results.
Along with looking at student grades, student learning outcomes will also be considered along with their performance in the tests. For instance, a certain score in a test or the answering of certain questions will demonstrate that the student has attained this learning outcome. In the long run, this will show that where the student needs more help and the teacher has to put in more effort.

The plan at the moment is to initiate the process of…

Preventing Dropouts Among Minority Middle School Students The dropout rate of minority middle school students is rising. This can be contributed to a number of factors that cultivate frustration and develop low self-esteem among minority adolescent students. Middle school students already struggle with self-image issues, but when the added pressure of factors such as low literacy skills, poverty within the home, early pregnancy and low regard for education are also introduced,
The author of the article, "Achieving the Challenge: Meeting Standards in the Continuation High School" (Stits, 2001) related that "prior to 1983, many continuation high schools existed in districts where expectations were limited to keeping the students in school as much as possible," and also the ideas was to keep those continuation students "away from the traditional high school campus." The implication was clear: there was a stigma that
Reluctance of Parents to Visit the School Role of Parents in Children's Education Education has always been a very important part of human existence and has been an inseparable part of human civilization. There has been a lot of development on the education portal and mankind has learned great deal from the education function (Jeynes, 2005). Every milestone which is achieved and every development which is made in any direction is due
School Culture on School Safety Many studies have been done on safety in schools. Likewise, many studies have been done on the culture of various schools. Unfortunately, there has not been significant research on a link between the two. This is not to say that these kinds of studies have not been done, but rather that there has not been enough of them. Many of the studies that have been
The author takes a chance bringing a new form of writing to a middle school, a technique that is innovative but not commonplace, thus would give rise to much questioning, which may be an obstacle teacher's would face trying to implement this type of learning style. This learning approaches views all students as independent, thus in an environment where everything is "sterile" or "sterilized and standardized" this type of
0. Literature review on Differentiation and engagement in computer science classrooms Computer science offers educators aiming towards differentiated teaching within the secondary schoolroom setting a distinctive series of challenges. In particular, coding may prove to be a rigorous, exacting field that calls for a demonstration of organization and precision on the part of students before they can effectively create even the simplest programs. Computer science classes will probably witness learners utterly unfamiliar
