Pearson Plug and Play platform is launched with DK
May 3, 2011, 11:00 , 11:00
New initiative allows developers to access Pearson content to create innovative new products
London and New York (3rd May 2011) - Pearson and its illustrated non-fiction imprint, Dorling Kindersley, today announce the launch of Pearson's Plug & Play Platform, a new initiative for working with developers and sharing the company's award-winning content.
The Pearson Plug & Play Platform unlocks the company's rich content bank – which ranges from DK's vivid images of nature, travel and science to textbooks from Pearson Education – by making certain content available to internal and external developers. These developers in turn can blend valuable Pearson content with other material and data to build entirely new, innovative products.
The Plug and Play initiative will provide a developer community empowered to work regularly with the datasets of DK and other Pearson companies, including Pearson Education and its FT Press imprint, which includes titles on business, management, marketing and science.
The Plug & Play Platform will help enable developer communities to help establish new commercial models associated with innovative uses of DK and other Pearson content by developers. This approach includes the building of interfaces to allow DK and other Pearson data to be accessible, and lead to more collaboration, both internally and externally.
DK Travel's Digital Publisher, Peter Buckley, says: "DK is excited about Plug & Play's potential to link developers with valuable content and provide room for innovation to flourish. Working with developers in this way and being open to the unexpected is going to be very invigorating."
The launch of the Plug & Play Platform with DK content is the lead project in a global Pearson initiative that seeks to make it easier for the world's wealth of developer talent to work with Pearson and its unique content in order to experiment and innovate.
Pearson's Future Technologies Group Product Manager, Diana Stepner, says: "We recognise the world has changed and our content needs to be available for innovative uses outside Pearson. Plug & Play opens up opportunities for DK and Pearson to connect with developers who are seeking the rich content we can share."
The first material to be tested with this launch will be DK's bestselling Eyewitness Travel Guide material, already available in multiple formats including books, ebooks and third party apps (iPhone®, iPad® and Android®). DK's content covers a huge range of subjects from science and natural history to gardening, cookery, parenting and early learning, and is for all ages. DK hopes to see the fruits of this launch in the form of new and innovative digital product in early 2012.
Pearson is the world's leading learning company, providing consumer publishing through the Penguin brand, educational materials and services, and business information through the Financial Times Group. Pearson serves learners of all ages around the globe, employing 36,000 people in more than 70 countries, and is listed on the London and New York stock exchanges. For more information, visit www.pearson.com.
Established in 1974, DK publishes bestselling, award-winning and visually stunning reference books for adults and children and is fast becoming an internationally regarded content creator and provider across a wide range of media. DK is owned by media group Pearson PLC and is part of the Penguin Group.
DK has established a worldwide reputation for its innovative non-fiction books in which the clarity of the words and pictures come together to spectacular effect.

******+Hibou / Owl 1181 introduced on 27/1/1931. This great Owl is the second rarest of all 30 different Lalique mascots (with Renard being the rarest and Comète, coming a decent third!).
Historic note: This rare piece was unfortunately badly damaged in an accident in 1932 when mounted onto a Bugatti Type 57 radiator. The mascot is still on its original contemporary metal radiator cap! It comes with provenance as it was purchased in France from the original owner's family, who tell the story of how the car was rolled and hence damaged the mascot! The image of the Bugatti Type 57 in the background supplied by Ivan Dutton (Bugatti cars) Ltd. The full fold-out 10 panel catalogue can be sent to you for £1 plus your s.a.e. (Stamped Self Addressed Envelope) to us at The Lalique Gallery at The White Lion Garage, Clarendon Place, Kemp Town, Brighton, Sussex, BN2 1JA.


How does it sound to sit on a vast Himalayan meadow and watching the sun set into the mystical Parvati valley? Holycow Adventures invites you to a lesser explored trek circuit which will take you to the famous Kheerganga hot springs and untouched part of the valley towards the Bunbuni. The trek passes through some of the most beautiful landscapes of the Himalayas from crossing glacial streams to dense forests, from views of high peaks to vast meadows. This trek is a perfect weekend getaway.
The trail begins right from the backyard of our Holy Cow café and quickly enters into dense pine and deodar forest. An hour into the trek, we will come across a huge waterfall. The mighty Parvati river will be visible from few points. The trail winds up with a gentle slope to Kheerganga, a natural hot water spring. It is believed that Lord Shiva meditated here for 3000 years and during that period, Kheer (Indian dish) used to flow out from the spring. Take a dip in the hot water spring and relax for the day. We can explore a little more in evening. Night stay in tents.
We will start early to enjoy the serenity of mornings, the best time to trek in the Himalayas. The trail winds up steeply for an hour and we will reach the vast Kungti Meadows. We can see our destination Bunbuni from Kungti. We will also be able to see a huge glacier coming down into the valley. After crossing the glacial stream we will head up on the other side of the mountain to enter the Chotti meadows. It is the highest point of the trek and view is mesmerizing. Bunbuni meadows is just a downhill walk from here. Reach Bunbuni meadows and set up camps. We can do some team activities later in the evening.
The trail is completely downhill till Kalga. Within two hours, we'll reach Holy Cow Café. You can take a bus back to Bhuntar from Barshini or stay back at the Cafe. The trip ends here with some happy memories and new friends.

Q: Simplifying complex linq query with multiple conditions Recently I have come across the code to fix a bug as shown below.
It is just hard to understand it and make the changes seem risky as well.
Is there any easy way to breakdown such a query i.e. De Morgan's law or re-writing in different way.
SomeReturnType xyz()
{
    return (from m in this.context.tblMessages
            where m.SystemActionID.HasValue &&
            (userID == null || m.RecipientID == null || m.RecipientID == userID) &&
            m.TargetUserType == userType &&
            (
                 (territoryID.HasValue && !m.TerritoryID.HasValue) ||
                 (!territoryID.HasValue && !m.TerritoryID.HasValue) ||
                 (territoryID.HasValue && m.TerritoryID.HasValue && territoryID.Value == m.TerritoryID.Value)
            ) &&
            (
                  (regionID.HasValue && !m.RegionID.HasValue) ||
                  (!regionID.HasValue && !m.RegionID.HasValue) ||
                  (regionID.HasValue && m.RegionID.HasValue && regionID.Value == m.RegionID.Value)
            ) &&
            (
                  (teamID.HasValue && !m.TeamID.HasValue) ||
                  (!teamID.HasValue && !m.TeamID.HasValue) ||
                  (teamID.HasValue && m.TeamID.HasValue && teamID.Value == m.TeamID.Value)
            ) &&
            m.SystemActionData == additionalData &&
            (!completed.HasValue || m.IsSystemActionCompleted == completed.Value)
            select m).FirstOrDefault();
}  //function xyz ends

A: First, this code looks like an attempt to move bad SQL code to LINQ: the statements contain parameter checks in an attempt to create a query that can have "optional" parameters. It looks like the author tried to move a stored procedure to code.
Both of these things are really bad ideas.

*

*First, SQL Server will cache a query's execution plan according to its parameters. This means that the first execution of the procedure determines the plan for all later calls. "Optional" parameters typically result in non-optimal plans (eg by omitting indexes)

*Stored procedures are an abstraction layer that hides complex queries, allows you to use the full SQL syntax of the product. Moving them to code just makes things harder, not easier.

*Finally, LINQ doesn't need "optional" parameters. You can compose your query and the final SQL statement will be generated when you convert the IQueryable to an IEnumerable. In this case, when you call FirstOrDefault.

For example, you can change this:
(from m in this.context.tblMessages
        where m.SystemActionID.HasValue &&
        (userID == null || m.RecipientID == null || m.RecipientID == userID) &&
        m.TargetUserType == userType &&
        (
             (territoryID.HasValue && !m.TerritoryID.HasValue) ||
             (!territoryID.HasValue && !m.TerritoryID.HasValue) ||
             (territoryID.HasValue && m.TerritoryID.HasValue && territoryID.Value == m.TerritoryID.Value)
        ) &&

to this
if (userId==null)
    return null;
var query=from m in this.context.tblMessages
        where m.SystemActionID != null
              && (m.RecipientID == null || m.RecipientID == userID)
              && m.TargetUserType == userType ;
if (territoryID.HasValue)
    query=query.Where(m=>m.TerritoryId==null || m.TerritoryId==teritoryID);

You can simplify the rest of the statement in the same way, eg:
if (regionID.HasValue)
    query=query.Where(m=>m.RegionId==null || m.RegionId==regionID);
if (teamID.HasValue)
    query=query.Where(m=>m.TeamID==null || m.TeamID==teamID);

The LINQ query should never compare parameters against constants - why force the server to do a constantc check you can easily do on the client?
This will result in queries that are a lot simpler and easier for the server to optimize

A: I am using IQueryable in such cases. I have used some dummy names instead of your example to demonstrate idea itself - you need to apply "where" clauses step by step.
IQueryable<Account> query1 = from account in storage.Accounts
                                where account.Username == username
                                select account;

IQueryable<SomeNewTypeIfNecessary> query2 = from account in query1
                                            where account.ID > 100
                                            select new SomeNewTypeIfNecessary { ID = account.ID };

// Final call doing real query to database.
List<SomeNewTypeIfNecessary> accounts = query2.ToList();

In addition such technique allows to dynamically add desired statements (mostly where and orderby clauses) to get specific data dependent on some user choice (for example sort direction).

IU soccer rallies to reach NCAA quarterfinals
Jeremy Price
Bloomington Herald-Times
At halftime, the scoreboard at WakeMed Park in Cary, N.C., showed an empty total for Indiana.
But the problem wasn't the lack of scoring or even the 1-0 deficit, it was that the Hoosiers' tank wasn't as empty as their side of the scoreboard.
Senior captain A.J. Palazzolo wasn't going to see his IU career end with a similar effort in the final 45 minutes.
"Credit A.J. for the way he rallied the troops at half and willed the guys to make sure if we're going out of this thing, we're leaving everything on the field," Indiana coach Todd Yeagley said.
The third-seeded and second-ranked Hoosiers rose to the challenge, scoring two goals in the final for a 2-1 victory over No. 19 Marquette in the NCAA tournament round of 16. IU advances to a quarterfinal date with sixth-seeded Seton Hall on Monday at 5 p.m.
"We had a little left in the tank in the first half, and I think that was maybe the takeaway, we had to empty it," Yeagley said. "We did, we emptied it."
The Golden Eagles (8-3-2) made Indiana do so, especially after a strike against the run of play late in the first half. A tackle of Palazzolo went without a whistle, and Marquette turned it into instant offense with A.J. Franklin dribbling into the attacking third and cutting loose a long-range blast that beat IU goalkeeper Roman Celentano into the upper left corner for a 1-0 lead in the 44th minute.
"That was a tough goal to give up near the half and a beautiful strike by the kid from Marquette," said Yeagley, who thought his team could've made more of its first-half opportunities. "… We wanted to move the ball a bit to shift them and find our wide backs on the rotation. We did a good job at times but we were a little slow getting into our 'let's-go' phase. We didn't have enough conviction of getting after them."
Palazzolo made sure the Hoosiers (10-1-2) weren't lacking for conviction in what became a chippy second half that featured a combined 10 yellow cards between the two teams, not only with his words but his play. An adjustment saw Palazzolo play up the field to combine more with Victor Bezerra up top, while Ben Yeagley and Joe Schmidt took control of the midfield.
"I thought AJ moving a little higher in the second half gave us a spark," Todd Yeagley said. "He did a good job connecting with Vic — those two played a lot together. AJ has been so valuable in so many positions, but I do feel that little tweak of Ben in midfield with Joe and moving AJ up was the catalyst to get us going in the second half."
It finally paid off in the 71st minute. With the ball at his feet, Bezerra drew the attention of a trio of Marquette defenders then slotted a pass to Herbert Endeley on the right side of the box. Endeley made no mistake with the equalizer.
"Victor, he made a special pass, and that sophistication of the timing to get Herb and the weight of the ball — Vic's passing is an underestimated skillset," Yeagley said. "We see that every day, he's one of the better passers, has a great feel."
And it was further evidence that Indiana was more offensively than just the proficient Bezerra.
"It wasn't Vic's best day," Yeagley said. "He did some good things but it was a quieter performance and they were obviously keying in on him. He made that special pass and Herb, we've been working so hard on that functional finish, because he's so dangerous getting in behind. That's just a path to goal. He's been working hard at it, we train it a lot. Not necessarily that movement but that area of the box he gets into. At some point, it becomes motor memory and Herb did exactly what he needed to do."
With the momentum clearly swung to IU's side, the Hoosiers found the go-ahead tally less than nine minutes later. A quick attack got Ryan Wittenbrink loose on the right flank, and although his first attempt to cross the ball was blocked, the redshirt sophomore recovered and centered a ball from near the end line. Nyk Sessock got a foot to the ball, sending it off the far left post and Maouloune Goumballe pounced on the carom for a 2-1 advantage.
"Nyk was dangerous all day getting around the edge," Yeagley said. "The quality of his final pass got better as the game went on and he made a lot of the second goal. Maouloune was there off the post, so yeah, it was nice to see a couple of other guys get on the scoresheet."
From there, the Hoosiers just had to close the door and fittingly couldn't do so without Celentano coming up with a big save on a point-blank header with six minutes remaining. But there would be no overtime and no penalty kicks this time, just an empty tank and a chance to reach the 21st College Cup in program history.
"Fortunately, we made a couple of key plays and kept them to fairly limited chances," Yeagley said. "I thought we managed the lead once we had it. That was a real gutsy, extra-effort type of win."

Tracktuned.com was founded by drivers, for drivers under the premise that normal media outlets weren't exactly aimed at us. Everybody that contributes to the site has at least a little seat time on track (some more than others). Many of us are instructors, shop owners, fabricators, club racers, etc. We feel the track experience is a vital part to our stories as automotive enthusiasts. We see ourselves as driving enthusiasts above all else. This simple truth allows us to provide unique, educated perspectives on vehicles, events, and engineering that traditional media outlets just do not provide.
Austin has a long pedigree of hobby addiction including but not limited to: photography, travel, driving, people, and cars - essentially, everything that is needed for tracktuned.com to work. He enjoys silly puns and driving fast on track in whatever he's handed the keys to. Helping others learn to go fast on track and sharing the amazing sport of auto racing is what he is passionate about.
Adam is a sometimes-racer(life gets busy...) with Nasa and Scca, in his crx you'll hear him yammer on about. He enjoys writing and talking on Slipangle more than he'd thought he would, and would like to do more of that and less custom carpentry as he gets older....... He's been instructing and organizing HPDE events for around 10 years, and is never more relaxed than at the track with buddies.
Abe works a corporate job to fund his racing addiction. He's only been on track since 2014, but got a quick start checking off items on every racer's "bucket list". In 2016, he competed in the Tire Rack One Lap of America, and the #Gridlife Track Battle. It was through Gridlife that he got to know Adam and Austin. The rest is history. Follow his EVO X adventures at OneLapGSR.
If you are interested in being a contributor, please email austin@tracktuned.com and tell us what unique attributes and perspective you bring to the table. All emails will be responded to. We hated when we would write a email and not hear anything back from the big names in the automotive media world. We won't do that to you. You can even call Austin at 770.855.2285, but be warned he loves to talk and you may be on the phone for a while.


The Town of Hamden will hold two Business Cluster meetings in early October.

This article was written by Akanksha, a student of Amity Law School, Delhi(Former Research Associate).
"nullum crimen sine iniuri", which means no person shall be punished for an act which is not harmful to anybody, is a legal maxim forming the basis of criminal law.
The legislators who framed The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill have not taken into consideration the above maxim. Section 3 of the bill recognises the judgment of supreme court in the case of Shayara Bano v. Union of India and in section 4 it goes to the extent of declaring triple talaq a crime with punishment of imprisonment of 3 years. By the end we will be able to understand how these two sections are conflicting in nature.
Triple talaq or talaq-e-bidat is one of the many ways used for the annulment of the marriage by a muslim man. As the name suggests, it involves the pronouncement of Talaq three times by the husband which results in the invalidation of marriage.
This hasty and cruel form of ending the marriage has been the topic for debate for quite a while now.
In 1975, Shah Banu Begum from indore was thrown out of her matrimonial home by her husband for which she approached the court to get maintenance under section 125 of CrPC. The court ordered that maintenance be given to Shah Banu and that section 125 is applicable to everyone regardless of their religion, which was followed by a lot of criticism. This resulted in the enactment of Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Divorce) Act by Rajiv Gandhi in which triple talaq was allowed to be given by muslim men instantly and unilaterally even over email, WhatsApp ,Skype or SMS.
The courts have shown disregard towards this arbitrary and cruel practice in various judgements.
In Shamim Ara vs State Of UP & Anr, the Supreme Court said it was imperative to moderate the arbitrary nature of triple talaq.
In Dilshad Begaum Ahmadkhan Pathan vs Ahmadkhan Hanifkhan Pathan And Another, the Bombay High Court ruled that arbitrary pronouncement of triple talaq wasn't a sufficient condition for divorce.
A 14-member committee constituted by the UPA government in 2012 recommended a ban on oral, unilateral and triple talaq, as well as on polygamy. In its report submitted to the government in 2015, the Committee said triple talaq made wives extremely vulnerable and insecure regarding their marital status.
Finally in August 2017, in the case of Shayara Banu v. Union of India, four women won the case in the supreme court in which the court, with 3:2 majority proved the practice of triple talaq unconstitutional and invalid. Three months after this judgement the legislation has proposed The Muslim Women (Protection of Rights on Marriage) Bill which, as aforementioned, makes triple talaq a criminal offence and punishes anyone who utters these words with an imprisonment of 3 years. If we try to closely scrutinize the supreme court's judgement, it would be clear that by making triple talaq invalid and unconstitutional, it takes away its legal validity. In layman's language it can be said that now if a person says 'talaq talaq talaq', it will have no effect on the marriage. From various cases it had been observed by the courts that in most of the cases of ending the marriage by triple talaq, the muslim men out of anger and rage would do the pronouncement and would later regret. This judgement by the supreme court comes as a relief in such cases as even if these words are pronounced, it would have no validity and the marriage would remain intact. However, the legislators of the bill have failed to understand the spirit of the judgement. Now that triple talaq is a crime with 3 years of imprisonment as it's punishment, a muslim man as soon as says 'talaq talaq talaq', though his marriage remains intact however he will go to the jail for 3 years, which completely defeats the entire purpose of the judgement, which was in the form of a remedy for the muslim women. This would in turn result in taking away the social and financial security for the women, making the objectives of the bill questionable.
Apart from this ,there are innumerable flaws in the proposed bill. To begin with, the Narendra Modi government's proposal to punish triple talaq needs closer scrutiny on the touchstone of the first principles of criminal law.
A crime is a violation of a general legal right which, if not controlled, will endanger peace and stability of society and therefore it is the state which prosecutes the accused and punishes the convict on behalf of entire society. But then every harm cannot become 'crime'. The harm needs to be real, unavoidable and serious and thus human behaviour which is merely offensive cannot be necessarily declared as 'criminal act.' Triple talaq which does not dissolve marriage is not such a harm which can be declared as a crime.
There is a divide in the opinion of the community as well regarding the criminalisation of triple talaq. There is no better example of this than the sharply contrasting positions of the Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA), an all-India organisation of Muslim women, and the Bebaak Collective, an umbrella body of Muslim women's groups across the country. Both these groups had united after the judgement of supreme court however there has been a divide in their opinion regarding criminalisation. While BMMA believe that criminalization is a necessary measure for deterrence, the latter has denounced it as "a vicious ploy of the BJP government to criminalise Muslim men".
BMMA argues that since marriage is a civil contract, the procedures to be followed on its breakdown should also be of civil nature only and favours "civil redress mechanisms and restorative justice to ensure that Muslim women are able to negotiate for their rights both within and outside of the marriage". The organisation says this would render a woman more vulnerable, as with her husband in jail, she will be deprived of both financial security and of her right to stay at her matrimonial home.
Also, no muslim organisation was consulted before drafting the bill and is thus has no conformity with the Quran and Constitution. The punishment for 3 years has no legal basis. Also we can say that it starkly contradicts the judgement of supreme court, because if talaq is made a crime, it in turn shows that triple talaq has a legal effect i.e. its pronouncement leads to the dissolution of marriage, which violates the judgement, as the judgement made the triple talaq invalid and its pronouncement no consequences.
I would like to conclude by suggesting that the government instead of penalising men should first try to create legal awareness among Muslim men. It can also use the services of the All India Muslim Personal Law Board for this. Also the people need to believe that the real objective of the act is to protect muslim women and not just penalize muslim men, which can be achieved if the utterance of "talaq talaq talaq" would amount to domestic violence under Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act (PWDVA).
The bill is under scrutiny in the Parliament and the entire muslim community can not do anything except for hoping that some amendments are proposed in the bill so as to make it consistent with the Supreme Court's judgement and Quran.

Family Photographer Steven had an amazing time capturing Tracy and Johann family portraits at Canvas Restaurant & Market located at Laureate Park in Lake Nona, FL! It's so hard to believe it has been five years since we last photographed their wedding at Mission Inn Resort at Howey-In-The-Hills and there is nothing more flattering than being asked to capture them again with their beautiful daughter, Jasmine and their two puppies! We met the family in front of the Canvas Restaurant & Market which is situated inside one of the Lake Nona parks! The restaurant is surrounded by great landscaping and architecture; so much so that you forget it's both a restaurant and marketplace! It made such a great backdrop for our family's portraits! We had such a blast taking their pictures throughout the area that we even got Johann's sister and niece to join in for a few shots! This was such a great session! It was great to see Tracy and Johann once again along with their family, and we hope you guys enjoy your sneak peek!

The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA, 2001) charges us with graduating all students from high school with the essential knowledge and skills necessary for success in postsecondary education and/or high-skill, high-wage employment. Unfortunately, the reality of high school graduation rates across our nation falls significantly short of this charge. The impact of nongraduates on our nation's economy is extraordinary, both in terms of lost income, taxes, and productivity and in relation to increased involvement in the social service and criminal justice systems (Bridgeland, Dilulio, & Burke Morison, 2006).
High schools have long been targeted as the source of low graduation rates, despite the reality that high schools inherit the strengths, weaknesses, and skill gaps acquired by students while in elementary and middle schools. Dropping out of school is a gradual process that typically begins years before a student even enters high school (Bridgeland et al., 2006). Thus, combating our nation's nongraduation and dropout rates will require a whole-system response. All educators will need to begin to extend their vision beyond their own grade level or course and to understand the impact of current school experiences on the likelihood that their students will eventually successfully complete high school. Vertical articulation and programming between elementary, middle, and high school levels is critical to improving student graduation outcomes, as keeping all students on track for graduation will require a collective effort and an aligned system of student supports from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
"The conventional wisdom that dropping out is a highly idiosyncratic process driven by entirely personal factors is not true for most students who leave school. Most dropouts follow identifiable pathways through the education pipeline" (Jerald, 2006, p. 3). Further, the pathways students take leading to school dropout or delayed graduation can be identified as early as 1st grade for some students and 6th grade for the majority of students, allowing for earlier and more effective intervention (Hammond, Linton, Smink, & Drew, 2007). For instance, 40% of the nongraduates in Philadelphia schools could be predicted utilizing four 6th grade risk factors—attending school less than 80% of time, poor behavior/conduct grade, failing math, and failing English (Balfanz & Herzog, 2005). By 9th grade, 85% of eventual dropouts can be accurately identified using readily available student data such as absenteeism, course failures, credits earned, and grade point average (GPA; Allensworth, 2005).
Developing and employing an early warning system (EWS) that identifies at-risk students through the analysis of readily available and highly predictive student academic and engagement data (e.g., absenteeism, course failure, GPA, credits, discipline) is critical to secondary school Response to Intervention (RtI) implementation efforts. Utilizing data systematically to identify at-risk students as early as possible will allow for the application of more effective prevention and early intervention services. A thorough analysis of risk indicator patterns and associated relevant information will help districts better understand the root causes of student disengagement and academic failure (i.e., problem analysis). Armed with this information, districts and schools will have a greater likelihood of implementing effective prevention and intervention services and maximizing student graduation rates. Reviewing the EWS data over time assists schools in determining the effectiveness of intervention programming overall, for groups of students, and for individual students.
Recognizing the benefit of intervening with students at the first sign of disengagement or academic failure, several Florida districts are actively involved in the development and early implementation stages of EWSs tailored to their local data sources and management systems as a cornerstone of their RtI implementation efforts. Although most districts are only in the initial stages of implementation, the results of utilizing EWS data for problem solving within an RtI framework are more than promising.
One of the best examples of the power of a well designed and implemented EWS is found in Pasco County, Florida's, Ridgewood High School, a school previously designated as one of the state's lowest performing schools. Ridgewood High School first conducted a systematic review of its EWS data at the end of the first semester of the 2009–2010 school year. The data review revealed a shocking reality: 36% of 9th graders were already off track for graduation. Worse yet, the longer students spent at the school, the more off track for graduation they became, with roughly half of the 11th- and 12th-grade cohorts off track for graduation.
Although the results were sobering, the school's new administrative team wasted no time responding to the immediate needs of the senior class. The school developed new credit recovery labs and staffed the labs with a certified teacher who was known for connecting with students and serving as a student mentor. All seniors who were off track due to insufficient credits (i.e., 212 students) were enrolled in the credit recovery program during the school day and monitored closely by the credit recovery teacher and the school leadership team. During spring semester, 96 semester credits were recovered and 98% of the previously off-track seniors graduated on time.
Despite the effectiveness of the credit recovery program, the school's leadership team expressed a belief that the program was simply an "intensive care Band-Aid" that did not address the real reasons students got off track in the first place. To make real, sustainable gains, the school would have to engage in problem analysis to learn more about what contributed to the students getting off track and provide prevention and early intervention services for students before they became disengaged or failed academically. To this end, the school leadership team held focus groups with teachers, parents, and off-track students. The focus groups revealed a need for a comprehensive high school transition program that included frequent advisement, mentoring, and progress monitoring as well as increased academic support for specific courses. To address these concerns, the school implemented a 9th grade academy that included a daily advisement period, goal setting and frequent progress monitoring, and adult and peer mentoring programs. Additionally, the school adopted and implemented robust credit and course recovery options for all students and a school-wide positive behavior support program to teach students the readiness skills (e.g., organization, study skills, goal setting, progress monitoring) necessary for academic and social success.
The positive impact of the school's efforts is evident in the dramatic reduction in the number of students off track for graduation. In 1 year of implementation, the number of 9th graders off track for graduation was reduced from 36% to 28%, and approximately 75% of the previous year's off-track 9th graders returned to on-track status for graduation. Student trend data now reflect that students become more engaged with the school over the course of their high school years. By the end of the fall semester of 2010–2011 school year, 84% of the senior class was on track for graduation, allowing for more resources to be redirected to support at-risk 9th graders. Amazingly, the school's graduation rates rose from 74% to 88% in only 3 years, and 80% of the student population received no office discipline referrals during the school year, a reduction of more than 50% from previous graduating classes. All in all, students are more engaged in school and are achieving at higher levels.
The school's leadership team monitors the student response to the prevention and intervention services by reviewing attendance and course failure data at regular intervals (i.e., mid-quarter and end-of-quarter) using progress report data.. The school also continues to use data to investigate the presence of additional barriers, which need to be addressed within their multi-tier student support system. Vertical articulation with the school's feeder middle schools has increased the commitment to EWS and development of proactive practices to provide at-risk students with a greater chance to successfully complete high school.
Although successful school completion is dependent on more than just academic performance and an absence of inappropriate behavior (Dynarski & Gleason, 2002; McPartland, 1994), most EWSs incorporate only academic (e.g., course failures, credits earned, and GPA) and behavioral risk indicators (e.g., attendance, discipline referrals). The inclusion of cognitive (e.g., perceptions of instructional irrelevancy, personal incompetence, and lack of control over educational trajectory) and psychological (e.g., few or problematic relationships with adults and peers at school) disengagement indicators is less common. However, collecting data related to social and psychological engagement along with academic and behavioral indicators will help schools to more thoroughly analyze identified student outcome issues (e.g., graduation rates, course failures, etc.).
Disengagement from school is a gradual process that includes impaired or reduced participation in learning and school activities, reduced perceptions of belonging at school, and decreased academic outcomes (Finn, 1989). Identifying students at the first sign of disengagement significantly improves the likelihood of re-engagement and successful school completion (Anderson, Christenson, & Lehr, 2004). The inclusion of these indicators will allow districts and schools to identify and serve students earlier and assist educators in shifting from focusing on the prevention of negative outcomes (e.g., dropout) to promoting student competence and support (Jimerson, Reschly, & Hess, 2008).
List all students' names and grade levels and have adults in school initial next to students with whom they have a personal relationship.
Students with no initials by their names may be socially disengaged.
Utilize a survey to identify students who are bullied, alienated by peers, or who simply perceive that they have difficulty connecting with peers.
Employ a systematic student-nomination process for school personnel to indicate the students whom they have concerns about regarding few or problematic peer and/or adult connections.
Determine which students are not actively engaged in extracurricular activities through the review of club and sport rosters and attendance logs.
Students' cognitive engagement in school, including their sense of competence and control, their perception of the relevance of school and instruction to their future goals, and their use of learning and problem-solving strategies to achieve their goals, is significantly related to academic achievement, school attendance, and high school graduation (Christenson et al., 2008). For instance, in a study of high school dropouts, 45% of the high school dropouts reported feeling ill-prepared for high school and 29% expressed doubt that they could have met high school graduation requirements even if they had put in the necessary effort, demonstrating that students felt they were not competent enough and/or not in control of their school success (Bridgeland et al., 2006). Eighty-one percent of the high school dropouts reported that schools needed to do a better job of providing the real-world, experiential learning opportunities students need to make the connection between school and successful employment (Bridgeland et al., 2006).
Addressing students' cognitive engagement through intervention has been shown to increase student engagement, and persistence with academic tasks and students' perceptions of instructional relevancy, individual competence, and personal control over their educational experience and success is not simple. Educators cannot simply review data routinely collected in schools to identify psychologically disengaged students but must depend on self-report data from students themselves regarding these variables. Employing a student survey to assess students' sense of control, relevance of schoolwork, and future aspirations and goals can help schools identify students who perceive little or no control over their educational experiences and success and/or lack future education/career goals or fail to see the connection between their future goals and school.
The importance of systematically and comprehensively collecting, analyzing, and incorporating student engagement data into a school's EWS became quite evident to the leadership team at one high school targeted for intervention through Florida's state accountability system. After reviewing EWS data including student proficiency levels in math and reading, absenteeism, and office discipline referrals, the schools' leadership team determined that not only were far too many students below grade level in reading and mathematics (as indicated by the state's summative assessment), but also that many were behaviorally disengaged (i.e., missed 20 or more school days in a year and/or accrued six or more office discipline referrals or two or more suspensions) and an even greater percentage were off track for graduation due to failed courses, GPAs less than 2.0, and insufficient credits. The members of the leadership team collectively expressed an urgency to provide intervention supports for students in order to improve school engagement, course taking success, and student proficiency levels.
Once current levels were understood by all team members and goals were set, the team moved on to analyzing the problem. The team discussed their perceptions of why the problem (i.e., difference between goal level and current level) existed. Although many hypotheses were offered, the team quickly focused on two main hypotheses. First and foremost, the team generally believed that parents from the community did not value education and consequently did not provide adequate support for their children to be successful at school. A second but related hypothesis emerged—the leadership team hypothesized that because many of the parents in the community were unemployed and did not value education, students consequently did not hold much hope for their futures, did not value their education, and did not plan to pursue education after high school. When pressed to explain the multitude of students who came out of the same community but were successful at school, the leadership team hypothesized that these students were successful because the school was the students' family, providing these successful students with a sense of community that was lacking in their homes.
The leadership team, after some discussion, agreed to collect information to confirm the validity of their hypotheses. Utilizing the Student Engagement Instrument (Appleton, Christenson, Kim, & Reschly, 2006), the school gathered student perception data. The use of the Student Engagement Instrument allowed the school leadership team to collect information regarding students' perceptions of teacher–student relationships, peer support for learning, family support for learning, control and relevance of school work, future aspirations and goals, and extrinsic motivation.
When the survey results were reviewed, the school's leadership team was shocked by the results. The students overwhelming reported that they had aspirations and goals for the future, that education was important to those goals, and that they had plans to pursue additional education following high school. In fact, nearly 100% of the students agreed or strongly agreed with the following items: My education will create many future opportunities for me, Going to school after high school is important, I plan to continue my education following high school, School is important for achieving my future goals, and I am hopeful about my future. Similarly, most students perceived that their families felt education was important and were supportive of their educational goals. For instance, 94% of students agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, My family/guardian(s) are there for me when I need them, while 91% of students agreed or strongly agreed with the statement, My family/guardian(s) want me to keep trying when things are tough at school. The information provided by the students did not validate the leadership team's hypotheses regarding the source of student underachievement.
Further review of the survey results also failed to validate the leadership team's hypotheses related to why some students were successful despite the perceived lack of parental support and involvement. In fact, the survey results indicated significant issues in the areas of teacher–student relationships and peer support for learning. For instance, a significant percentage of students disagreed or strongly disagreed with the following items: My teachers are there for me when I need them; Adults at my school listen to the students; The school rules are fair; Most teachers at my school are interested in me as a person, not just as a student; Overall adults at my school treat students fairly; and I feel safe at school. Similarly, a significant proportion of students indicated peer relationship issues by disagreeing or strongly disagreeing with these items: Other students here care about me, Students at my school are there for me when I need them, and Students here respect what I have to say.
The student survey information provided by student focus groups guided the leadership team toward the identification of relationship issues as a primary source of student underachievement. Triangulating the information allowed the leadership team to move forward with the action planning process with confidence. Instead of outreach to community religious leaders and career planning courses for all students, the school leadership team planned the implementation of relationship-building activities within the students' home room period, a more active student advisement/mentoring program, a peer mediation program, and more frequent and varied modalities for gathering student input and feedback.
Without spending time up front to explore all student engagement areas and gather data to validate hypotheses, the school's leadership team would have misdirected valuable resources and most likely would not have achieved the same student outcome increases.
Collecting and analyzing the most relevant and predictive data in order to identify student outcome problems, understand the root causes of student outcome problems, and select, implement, and evaluate the impact of intervention supports on improving student outcomes (e.g., graduation rates) is critical. As such, developing and utilizing an EWS within a larger RtI framework is essential to districts' and schools' efforts to prevent academic skill deficits and disengagement from occurring in the first place and to more effectively respond to these issues when they occur.
