Flannery, K. Brigid; Frank, Jennifer L.; Kato, Mary McGrath – Journal of School Violence, 2012
Truancy, or unexcused absence, is a common problem facing nearly all high schools across the United States and other nations.

Using a national extant dataset, this study examined which…

By using data on students' middle grade performance, high school staff can set goals for their students to help them meet…

Kustos, Paul Nicholas – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Student difficulty in the study of probability arises in intuitively-based misconceptions derived from heuristics. One such heuristic, the one of note for this research study, is that of representativeness, in which an individual informally assesses the probability of an event based on the degree to which the event is similar to the sample from…
