Among the 10th grade team, Ms. Rahiem is killing it: her students show tremendous growth in their scores, and the only area she could use some work is on cognitive lift. Ms. Green is also killing as has great growth scores for her students; she could improve her engagement, however, are really help her students to excel even more. Evans in ELA is not meeting expectations and his students are showing poor growth scores. Evans should be focusing connectivity and alignment. Porento in history also has poor student growth scores and should start by making his classroom into an environment that feels safe and supportive for the students. D. Rob in science lacks connectivity and a proper demonstration of alignmentand if he focuses on these areas student growth scores should improve.
Each of these instructors has the skill and tools to achieve great things in their classrooms. Every small victory has to be celebrated, however, because that is how you cement growth and changeby boosting morale, providing encouragement, heaping praise when it is deserved, and showing support. The instructors most in need of support are Evans, Porento and D. Rob, and this is evident in the poor growth scores among their students. To support them, I would use the person-centered approach and Rogers (1951) notion of the need for congruence between ones self-image and ones self-ideal....…to ask pertain to the following:
Areas of Growth
1. What do you see as an important area of growth in student performance on this assessment?
Answering evidence, inference, and making meaning of words questions.
2. How does this align with the PSAT data?
On the PSAT, all three of those areas are power standards. Student will be exposed to those questions the most on the PSAT and should be prepared to correctly answer them.
3. How might you ask your team to reflect on this area of growth?
Have them do a guided analysis of this information and next steps.
4. Are these skills that have already been taught?
Reflect on the disconnect between instruction and student performance.
The next steps to take would be to follow the action plan:
Action Plan
1. What actions might you encourage a team to take to effectively address this gap?
Create collaboration opportunities between reading and writing teachers, submits new lesson plans reflecting directives, and spend the most time on standards that will weigh the heaviest on the exam.
2. How would you monitor and support these actions as a coach?
I would implement the plan by daily observation…

Student Performance in Business Class Given that all students in a given business class are exposed to the same professor and the same course materials, one might expect them to perform similarly. However, there is a broad range in how students perform in business classes. The purpose of this research study is to determine which variables impact student performance in business class. I have formulated several hypotheses about student performance in business
Student Performance Analysis In Australia, universities play a significant role in the provision of higher education though there are other higher learning institutions. Universities constantly look for measures to improve their understanding of learning in order to help students realize their full potential. This process is also geared towards ensuring that universities provide the best possible educational experience and outcomes. One of the ways utilized by universities to gain insights regarding
IAQ and Education: How does Indoor Air Quality Impact Student Health and Performance? Historically, student performance was thought to be the result of the direct factors the student encountered in the classroom environment. As long as the student was taught in an appropriate manner, the prevailing thought was that the student would be capable of learning. However, it became apparent that students could be exposed to the same curriculum under tremendously
Thus, the best way to achieve educational improvement and student success is to pair the issue of standardized testing together with other teacher-based assessments. Standardized testing should remain a focus of the educational realm for administrative purposes, such as planning standards and curriculum. In order to determine whether a student is ready to advance, however, teachers should make recommendations to their administrations, citing evidence. By opening this recommendation process
"One problem with achievement testing is that a few minutes of performance time can end up directing a young child's entire educational career." (Schmitz 1991) When tests are administered to young children that take extended periods of time to complete, such as those which take six to eight hours with only short bathroom breaks, the child's naturally shorter attention span may affect performance on the tests. Many test makers
OCR recognizes that colleges and universities are under a lot of legal and political pressure to stop using racial and ethnic factors in admission," Clegg commented. "[In response,] the agency wants to intimidate colleges and universities to continue using these preferences." (Black Issues in Higher Education, 1999) The National Association of Scholars, while raising doubts about the reasoning behind the OCR document titled "Nondiscrimination in High-Stakes Testing," pointed to what it
