Dan Goldhaber; Stephanie Liddle – Center for Education Data & Research, 2025
The current literature on early predictors of postsecondary outcomes focuses almost exclusively on the relationship between postsecondary outcomes and students' academic achievements and experiences in middle and high school. These relationships are important, but policymakers and educators might get a more complete picture of how K12 relates to…

Qi, Hongyuan; Mikami, Amori Yee; Owens, Julie Sarno – Child Development, 2022
This study examined bidirectional associations between cross-racial friendships and children's social and academic adjustment. Participants were 583 elementary school-age children in western Canada, or the midwestern United States (4-10 years; 279 girls; 143 Asian, 88 Black, 65 Hispanic or Latinx, 171 White, 116 mixed). Children's adjustment…

Ericka S. Weathers; Ismael G. Muñoz; David Loeb – High School Journal, 2023
While existing literature documents disparities in and implications of absenteeism and truant behavior, less is known about truancy as defined in state laws. Habitual truancy, which can trigger external punitive responses, is particularly underexplored. The current study utilizes administrative data from the universe of Pennsylvania schools to…

Yao Yang; Yukiko Maeda; Marcia Gentry – Large-scale Assessments in Education, 2024
Background: This empirical study aims to investigate the association between mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics achievement gaps among students in Grades 4, 8, and 12, utilizing data from the 2019 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). The study also considers student-level (e.g., mathematics self-efficacy, gender,…

Amie F. Bettencourt; Corinne M. Plesko; Deborah Gross; Rashelle J. Musci – School Mental Health, 2025
A better understanding of factors influencing who receives disability support services through an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or a Section 504 Accommodation Plan from the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (504 plan) and when is needed. This study used administrative data from11,405 students enrolled in 121 Baltimore City Schools (51% male; 85%…

Mathew, Aneesh – ProQuest LLC, 2023
The purpose of this study was to examine if teachers' participation in the educational technology professional development was a significant predictor in the 8th grade students' mathematics achievement on the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP). This non-experimental study analyzed selected variables from the 2013 NAEP 8th…

Gullo, Dominic F.; Ammar, Alia A. – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
Structural equation modelling was used to investigate the predictive associations between kindergarten developmental, socio-behavioural, and biotic influences on third grade achievement among a nationally representative sample of low-SES children. The findings validate the understanding that developmental and learning trajectories start early in…

Matheny, Kaylee T.; Thompson, Marissa E.; Townley-Flores, Carrie; reardon, sean f. – Stanford Center for Education Policy Analysis, 2022
We use data from the Stanford Education Data Archive to describe district-level trends in average academic achievement between 2009 and 2019. Though on average school districts' test scores improved very modestly (by about 0.001 SDs/year), there is significant variation among districts. Moreover, we find that average test score disparities between…

Szczytko, Rachel; Stevenson, Kathryn Tate; Peterson, Markus Nils; Bondell, Howard – Journal of Environmental Education, 2020
Connection to nature (CTN) can help promote environmental engagement requisite for addressing extreme environmental challenges. Current generations, however, may be less connected to nature than previous ones. Spending time in nature can counter this disconnect, particularly among children. In relation to CTN, this study evaluates the relative…

Paul T. von Hippel; Ana P. Cañedo – American Educational Research Journal, 2022
Half of kindergarten teachers split children into higher and lower ability groups for reading or math. In national data, we predicted kindergarten ability group placement using linear and ordinal logistic regression with classroom fixed effects. In fall, test scores were the best predictors of group placement, but there was bias favoring girls,…

James R. Izzo – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Curriculum-based measurements (CBM) are used in schools to screen students for academic difficulties. Oral reading fluency curriculum-based measures (CBM-R) are the most popular, yet several studies have identified predictive bias in CBM-Rs in relation to key variables (e.g., race, sex). Despite a massive increase in the use of these measures as…

Yang, Yao – ProQuest LLC, 2023
This dissertation researched the scope of mathematics achievement disparities in the United States and how these disparities can be minimized through a self-efficacy lens. To answer pertinent research questions with data from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) 2019 mathematics assessment in Grades 4, 8, and 12, gap analyses,…

Andrew Weaver – Grantee Submission, 2023
This study explores whether teacher reports of executive functions predict change in reading performance (i.e., reading development) for elementary-aged students when controlling for direct assessments of executive functions and for teacher reports of students' literacy skills. Prior research has raised problems with the construct validity of…

Wilkerson, Kimber L.; Afacan, Kemal – Education and Urban Society, 2022
Although out-of-school school suspensions have been correlated with negative school outcomes, they are still a common formal response given to students whose behavior is deemed problematic. Being suspended multiple times within an academic year results in students losing even more instructional time. In this study, we used longitudinal data for…
