How The School Collects Data Measure Overall Organizational Performance

There will be one semi-instructed interview a week asking about specific situation in the classroom. During the interviews snacks and drinks will be provided for the students to enable them to feel more comfortable in the coming days. The purpose of this study is to see if there is a significant impact of African American teachers on female African American students academic achievement. The participants test scores will be recorded on a laptop. The notes from the interviews and observations in the classroom will be kept in separate notebooks. At the beginning of the research, the teachers will be asked how their teaching style differs from the normative teaching module. Also the participants will be given notebooks to record their own feelings about school and life in. Every two months the material will be collected and recorded in a laptop. Every four months the 11-15 year old participants will be given a 15-dollar gift card to the mall as an incentive to keep them interested and active in the study. After each recording, there will be member-checking and the and all three researchers will combine notes to ensure what is being recorded is actually purposeful to the intended

Chapter four will explain the design of the research, the description of sample, description of the sample, data matrix, and the method of data analysis. The design is a survey method that was conducted through an online program called survey monkey. Description of sample was that the survey was given out to females and males that were teachers or parents of young children. The data matrix that is going to be referred to table 4.1 will include three questions and the results from both the teacher and parent survey. Lastly, the method of data analysis is simple statistical analysis will be used for the surveys along with textual analysis of comments.

2.The reason for which school collects personal information of students include parents informed about the information related to their child’s schooling progress, in order to look after the student’s education, social and health essentials to be taken care of and to satisfy the school’s legal obligations and allowing the school to discharge its duty of care.

These accountability policies paved the way in 2007, when the Bloomberg administration introduced its School Progress Reports and Achievement Reporting and Innovation System (ARIS). The school’s report card graded schools on a scale of A through F based on three factors: school environment survey (15%), student academic performance (25%) and student academic progress (60%) (“School Quality

Many measures have been put in place to ensure students have equal access to tests, regardless of multicultural concerns, there still remains a gap in student learning. School counselors communicate results with students, parents and teachers, they also collaborate to develop individual student plans to aid in helping students meet academic requirements. School counselors evaluate tests to ensure fairness and to avoid bias decisions. The goal of the school counselor is to help students make decisions and solve problems. When utilizing assessments, school counselors should explain the purpose, procedure and results to students and parents. One should make use of assessments that they are trained to select, administer and interpret (A.9.a) (ASCA). When students take standard achievement tests to measure what they know many parents call upon the school counselor explain scores, percentile ranking and the meaning of the results. Some parents are misinformed and believe test results alone determine their students’ achievements. School counselors use other data such as formal and informal assessments to help make decisions. For instance if a student was referred to school counselor for behavior issues, one may observe or interview

For staff, parents and community members, a survey can be a highly effective tool in gathering data. Questions for staff could include the training backgrounds and language fluency of district instructional personnel, the number of trained support staff available, along with relevant experience, personal observations and educated recommendations. It is important to ascertain early whether there are sufficient, qualified

An information letter was sent to families, making clear that the intervention would be delivered during regular class time at no cost to parents, and anonymity would be preserved. Informed consent was obtained. A week before the implementation of the program, the school’s Guidance Officer went to the each Year 6 and 7 class to administer the student’s pre-assessment package during school hours. Each question was read aloud to the group and their understanding of each item checked. Each child, then individually rated each question in their own assessment pack.

In this area, I will be using multiple aspects when it comes to evaluating my students, I know I will use DBRCs (Daily Behavior Report Cards) along with keeping track on when the misbehavior occurs. Another area I will be sure not to overlook is using what data is already available from the school, about my students. The video suggest " Don't overlook information that your school may already be collecting that can help you to directly or indirectly track student behavior", and I will make sure that I do not.

3. Data Fields in the LDS. No direct identifiers such as names may be included in the Limited Data Set (LDS). In preparing the LDS, Dr. Parlapanides shall include the data fields specified as follows, which are the minimum necessary to accomplish the research: The researcher intends to analyze NJASK test achievement from 7th to 8th grade for those students enrolled in the 8100 English courses which changed from traditional periods in 2008-2009 to extended blocks of time in 2009-2010. The researcher will need access to the following data: Identification of

This survey spans across the mid-level and high-level schools of United States, which are believed to represent a cross-section of the national population. About 66 – 80% of the American schools participate in the survey on an average, and the students’ participation rate stands at an average of 79 – 83%.

As noted in the table above, principal surveys will be conducted and used to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. A sample of the teacher exit slip interview can be found in Appendix A. A sample of the Principal survey can be found in Appendix B. A sample of the Administrator interview questions can be found in Appendix C. In the next section, the method of collecting these data is described in detail.

I agree with the statement "Leaders need to use data responsibly and habitually for it to be useful." I would like to believe that all teachers collect some type of data as way of evaluating student success and progress. Using data responsibly involves not prejudging students’ abilities based on prior indicators. However, many students are ability grouped based on their FSA scores. My wife and I have advocated at our school that FSA scores should not determine who’s class you’re in at the elementary level. Middle and high school maybe, but not at the elementary level. Another issue is the collection of non-academic data to determine future success. We should always deter and refuse to participate in the grouping of students based on

Bay State Medical Center’s mission statement is to improve the health of the people in our communities every day with quality and compassion. This mission statement is very clear and I am sure that every hospital has this very same mission in mind for just being in the system of health care. Bay State Medical Center also has forecasts for the future of Health Care and look at themselves with a vision for the Hospital of the Future. This vision is named “Vision 2025” according to their online website and they look to the future of the hospital with goals of having surgical precision, robotics and patient simulation and how medical students will be trained. Currently every health system is looking at a

Educators and scholars draw upon data from many sources and on different subjects to illuminate current issues and trends in educational institutions. These subjects may include data from demography, health, education, culture and environment as well as government institutions and national databases. Educators and scholars use various research methods to collect, analyse and critique their findings to support or refute the topic of inquiry they are undertaking. Many researchers will commonly use the published data of others in the same manor to reinforce/support or counter argue their standing in a subject area.

The qualitative section will include, focus groups via the Delphi method and survey to teachers, administrators and students. Letters will be sent to each district included in the study explaining the purpose and how the study will be conducted in addition to consent forms for all participants and assuring that all information collected will be confidential and no names will be associated with information
