Analysis of Data and Identified Issues While reviewing the results of the most recent state testing data for Owasso, a common trend arose. The median OPI Score for each subject tested was lower for economically disadvantaged students. Furthermore, the percentage of students at or above proficiency was lower for every elementary school in the district, as demonstrating in Figure 1 above. This is certainly not surprising to anyone who has been in education for any amount of time, and the performance of economically disadvantaged students is a common focus of research. I️ wanted to discover if Owasso’s results were out of the ordinary compared to other economically disadvantaged students from around the nation. I decided to focus …show more content…
This project would be in alignment with Owasso’s mission statement, which is “to provide a safe environment that equips, educates, and empowers Owasso students on their journey toward outstanding character and success” (Strategic Plan, p. 4, 2016). We must ensure that we are equipping and educating ALL students in Owasso, which might mean providing additional support to this specific group of students. By focusing on this project, I will be using aspects of our organization to ensures that our district goals and mission are being enacted throughout the district (ELCC 1.2).

Wild horses of Asstatuge live in Maryland. Asstatuge is an Island so the horses are shown in water. The horses on Asstatug Island survive from each other. Asstatuge's horses are herds of horses so they do not have an owner. That's why they are called wild horses because there don't have an owner.
The data is compared to those students come from affluent socioeconomic status and backgrounds. The data is sourced from several diverse locations in order to give the broadest view of the disparities that exist. Howard (2010) compares data in reading, mathematics, SAT results and disciplinary rates. This data is a formidable beginning to the content of the book because it provides context for the reader to better understand the achievement gap.
The study of research is a within-groups design for the selection of concussed symptomatic athletes, concussed asymptomatic athletes and non-concussed control athletes. The study occurs covers in a five year analysis of the college athletics. The analysis will occur from the college athlete while in as a college athlete. The process of the study starts with the evaluation of the participants. The college athletes would need to release their previous medical history and testing of concussion baselines. If the athlete's refuses to release the information, then they will be dismissed from the study. The baseline assessments should have been completed during their freshman year preseason when all athletes were healthy and free from injury. Before the examination starts,

In today’s society, a good quality education is an important and valuable necessity.

Furthermore, my college experience at Lone Star has greatly influenced and encouraged me to be successful and achieve my dream of becoming a doctor.
The “achievement gap” in education refers to the disparity in academic performance between groups of students. The achievement gap is shown in grades, standardized-test scores, course selection, dropout rates, among other success measures. It’s most often used to describe the troubling performance gaps between African-American and latino students, towards the lower end of the performance scale, compared to their white peers, and the similar academic differences between students from low-income families and those who are privileged. In the past decade, scholars and policy makers began focusing their attention on other achievement gaps, such as those based on sex, English language and learning disabilities.
It is with out a doubt that in our country the United States of America the lower and middle class have the common perception that the government and the “super rich” have some kind of unknown agreement to maintain extremely lower tax rates on the “super rich”. What do the “super rich” do with all the saved money coming from the tax cut is another unknown, perhaps some luxurious new home, car, or maybe put it to work and continue getting richer. While all this may be true to some degree, one of the “super rich” elite members has stepped fourth not only once but a few time but none compare to his current attempt to make change.
Channelview ISD, the district in which I was raised and currently teach, is considered a low demographic district with a high population of at-risk, economically disadvantaged and special education students. The TAPR results exhibit a clear correlation between the demographics of the school and their performance results. Results vary sporadically and show clear indicators of differences amongst demographic factors such as grade, gender, race, economic level, language capabilities and intelligence level, however, some factors influence test results more than others. Grade, intelligence level and language capabilities prove to be the main factors in the gaps between the percent of the state that were at Level II Satisfactory or Above and district percentage results. Also analyzed were the percentages of students who were at Postsecondary Readiness and Advanced and lastly and analysis on what percent of students made progress and exceeded progress as well as identifying which students performed well and
As the world of work becomes more complex, many workers need training to avoid losing their jobs or being passed over for promotion. Consequently, many who would not have considered college 20 or even 15 years ago are finding themselves back in school. As adults become students, employers, colleges, and workers are changing old notions about how to go about pursuing higher learning.
Result- Based Analysis appeals to common sense. What is the greatest good for the greatest number of people? “A results based approach, is useful for administrators seeking the common good for the majority of citizens,” which is the pregnant women in the state of Jackson.

However now that she is in the position, it is important that Olivia makes the right ethical decision going forward.
According to DePaoli (2015), “The academic deficient types of learners are: (1 minorities (2 low income (3 English Language Learners and (4 Special education (DePaoli, et al., 2015) . There is drop-out data that reports percentage points the Rate (AFGR) and the Adjusted Cohort Graduated Rate (ACGR). Further to say, the minority students have made advances however; still shows the need for improvement by the averaged Freshman Graduation Rate, with totals of 75.2 percent and 70.7 percent, correspondingly, lacks behind other subgroups that exceeds the national average of 81.4 percent” (DePaoli, et al al., 2015, p.6). He furthers to say, “the low-income students reach 73.3 percent and up to 3.3 percentage points from 2010-11 but lacks behind 8 percent of the national average of 81.4 percent” (DePaoli, et al., 2015,
The null hypothesis stated that birds have no seed preference, so therefore they will eat the same amount of each of the seed types and the alternate hypothesis stated that if the bird have a seed preference, then they would choose the black oil seed because they were the easiest to open, contained lots of fat, and were small enough for smaller beaked birds to eat. The null hypothesis was rejected because p value, 3.2 x 〖10〗^(-27), was less than the alpha value, .05, therefore, the alternate hypothesis was accepted. Entering the expected values from the calculations into the Chi Square Test, the p value was found which resulted in the rejection of the Ho hypothesis. The Ha hypothesis was accepted because the birds ate 59 black oil seeds, which
In conclusion, it is evident that research is imperative. Research must be kept within the parameters of the so that the information obtained us justifiable and can be used in a court of law when necessary. Police officer’s dedicate themselves to striving in protecting their communities from harm. Officers put their lives on the line as well as place strain on their family lives so that we don’t have to.
After having analysed what the 50 women had to say in the Pilot study, the following Methodology was adopted for the final study. Quantitative Methodology with the Survey was considered the most feasible method for the present study. It is less oriented towards representatives and more towards finding associations and explanations, less towards description and more towards prediction, less lightly to ask ‘how many’, than ‘why’ and what goes with ‘what’.
