“ I dropped out last year and I am back. I am back to prove to my family that I can graduate. My brother dropped out, my sister dropped out, and my mom doesn’t think I will graduate either. I want to prove them wrong. ” --ACHS Student (October 2, 2009)

Virtual schools can be either public or private. In public virtual schools, public schools provide the curriculum and education, while private vendors may assist with management. Teachers are responsible for overseeing student work and communicating frequently with students and parents. Parents play an active role by working with their student, communicating with teachers, and participating in school activities. Virtual schools receive less funding than traditional schools but have lower facility costs and higher technology costs. They provide flexibility for students but lack traditional student interaction and require parents to play a more central role in education. Benefits include increased access to programs, but oversight and enrollment policies can be concerns.

Posse Awards College Scholarships to Low-income StudentsAmy Kennelly Viellieu

��

With nearly seven years of experience reviewing applications at the University of Chicago, Amy Kennelly Viellieu helped select students based on qualifications outside their formal test scores. To assist students in her community and beyond, Amy Kennelly Viellieu volunteered for Posse. Posse helps place low-income students in select colleges and pays for scholarships for their attendance. In operation since 1989, the Posse Foundation helps students attend college who are overlooked by more traditional qualifications, like test scores or academic performance. After the student’s high school, or a local community organization, nominates a student to meet with Posse Foundation staff, they undergo a three-step interviewing process, called the Dynamic Assessment Process (DAP). If chosen to receive the scholarship, the student attends college preparatory programs and attends an affiliated school alongside nine other students from their geographic location. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in 2020, the Posse Foundation began hosting virtual interviews and college prep activities. As of January of 2021, the organization announced that they would retain these measures even after pandemic-related restrictions on meeting in person ended. In the process the introduction of virtual interviews and workshops opens up more cities to receive Posse Foundation support and more colleges to become partners.

Michael, There are two major flaws here, the first being that your survey is both a quantitative survey and a qualitative questionnaire. You must stick with the quantitative survey as this is a mixed-methods study, therefore, you need an entire approach to be quantitative, which the survey is fully there. Please re-phrase those questions and provide participants with Likert choices. Second, you must provide a citation in all question explanations. The Focus-Group questions need citations AND the procedures for that approach need to be fully explained. Please make sure you do this for both aspects prior to submitting your paper in EDUC887.

AN INTERIM REPORT ON A PILOT CREDITRECOVERY PROGRAM IN A LAR.docxnettletondevon

AN INTERIM REPORT ON A PILOT CREDIT RECOVERY PROGRAM IN A LARGE, SUBURBAN MIDWESTERN HIGH SCHOOL M . SUZANNE FRANCO NiMiSHA H . PATEL Wright State University School policy regarding student failure of courses at the K-12 level generally focuses on grade retendon or social promotion, neither of which addresses the students' needs. Grade retention has never been effective in helping students gain mastery of course objectives. To reduce the numbers of social promotions, many states require 8th graders to earn a passing score on state- mandated standardized tests. If students do not earn the required score, they are not allowed to matriculate to the next grade, regardless of their teacher-assigned course grades (Ezarik, 2003). A relatively unique approach to help students who have failed one or more courses at the high school level is a credit recovery program. Though details of such programs vary from district to district, the one unifying aspect for atiy credit recovery program is the opportunity for students to earn credit for a course failed. The purpose of this paper is to describe a pilot credit recovery program implemented in a large suburban high school in the Midwest. Historical, longitudinal student data revealed that freshmen who fail at least one course are four times more likely to fail to graduate in four years (R. Hankey, personal communication, July, 2009). With this is mind, the school developed a pilot credit recovery program for freshmen who had failed at least one course; online and traditional curricula were provided. The short-term goal was to provide an opportutiity for freshmen to recover credits lost due to failure; the long-term goal was to reduce the dropout rate for freshmen who had failed at least one course, and consequently contribute to a higher graduation rate for the freshman class. This paper presents the results of the first cohort of students who completed the pilot program after their freshman year and who have now completed their second year of high school.

The document discusses three options to improve workforce and college preparation for students in Illinois: 1) Expanding community college and two-year degree programs, 2) Allowing students an extra year of high school, and 3) Keeping the current system. Based on an analysis across factors like cost, feasibility, education quality, and employability, taking an extra year of high school is identified as the best option. It would allow students more time to prepare for college coursework, complete additional classes, mature before college, and receive job training relevant to employers' needs.

Common Core State Standards - How Much Do Principals Workmillerjtx

��

With the Common Core State Standards upon us it is as important as ever that school principals maximize all the time available to them to visit classrooms and give their teachers feedback. Principals average nearly 60 hours per week, but very little of that time is spent in classrooms. What little time is spent in classrooms rarely results in useful feedback. One recent study found that walk throughs without feedback has a negative impact on student achievement. This new iPad app from Think Strategy, LLC aims to reduce the time principals spend making observations leaving them more time to give useful feedback.

Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdfAjaz Hussain

��

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots—systemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI—that could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust.
