Exploring multicultural classroom dynamics: A network analysis
Publication date: June 2019Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 74Author(s): Ceren Su Abacioglu, Adela-Maria Isvoranu, Maykel Verkuyten, Jochem Thijs, Sacha EpskampAbstractStudents' relationships with peers and teachers strongly influence their motivation to engage in learning activities. Ethnic minority students, however, are often victimized in schools, and their educational achievement lags behind that of their majority group counterparts. The aim of the present study was to explore teachers' multicultural approach within their classrooms as a possible factor of influence over students' peer relationships and mo...

Informant discrepancies in assessments of psychosocial functioning in school-based services and research: Review and directions for future research
Publication date: June 2019Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 74Author(s): Andres De Los Reyes, Clayton R. Cook, Frank M. Gresham, Bridget A. Makol, Mo WangAbstractPsychosocial functioning plays a key role in students' wellbeing and performance inside and outside of school. As such, techniques designed to measure and improve psychosocial functioning factor prominently in school-based service delivery and research. Given that the different contexts (e.g., school, home, community) in which students exist vary in the degree to which they influence psychosocial functioning, educators and researchers often rely on mul...

Classroom ability composition and the role of academic performance and school misconduct in the formation of academic and friendship networks
Publication date: June 2019Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 74Author(s): Diego Palacios, Jan Kornelis Dijkstra, Cristóbal Villalobos, Ernesto Treviño, Christian Berger, Mark Huisman, René VeenstraAbstractThis paper examined the association between friendship and academic networks and how the connections these networks have with academic performance and school misconduct differ when comparing three types of classrooms where students were grouped based on their academic ability (i.e., high-, low-, and mixed-ability). The sample was composed of 528 seventh to ninth graders (Mage = 15; 64.1% girls) from 12 c...

The influence of trend estimation method on forecasting curriculum-based measurement of reading performance
Publication date: June 2019Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 74Author(s): Ethan R. Van Norman, Peter M. NelsonAbstractEstimating a trend line through words read correct per minute scores collected across successive weeks is a preferred method to evaluate student response to instruction with curriculum-based measurement of reading (CBM-R). This is due in part, because the slope of that line of best fit is used to predict the trajectory of student performance if the current intervention is maintained. In turn, trend lines should predict future scores with a high degree of accuracy when an intervention is maintaine...

Safe and supportive schools for LGBT youth: Addressing educational inequities through inclusive policies and practices
Publication date: June 2019Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 74Author(s): Jack K. Day, Salvatore Ioverno, Stephen T. RussellAbstractInclusive policies that attend to sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) are associated with more supportive school environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) youth. We use the 2013–2015 California Healthy Kids Survey (n = 113,148) matched with principal reports of school policies from the 2014 California School Health Profiles to examine differential effects of SOGI-focused policies for LGB and transgender youth. SOGI-focused policies had a direct ...

Converging on quality: Examining multiple measures of teaching effectiveness
Publication date: June 2019Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 74Author(s): Lia E. Sandilos, Wesley A. Sims, Kate E. Norwalk, Linda A. ReddyAbstractThe present study explores the convergent and predictive validity for several widely used measures of teaching quality from the Measures of Effective Teaching Project (Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, 2009-2011). Specifically, the Classroom Assessment Scoring System (CLASS; Pianta, Hamre, & Mintz, 2012), the Framework for Teaching (FFT; Danielson Group, 2013), and the Tripod Student Perceptions Scale (Tripod; Ferguson, 2008) were examined. Correlations among measures...

Sallade, David Kellen, Stephanie J. Long, William E. Sullivan, Allison J. Womack, Joseph UnderbergAbstractWe compared children's gains in oral reading fluency after applying a standard fluency-building intervention to three training passages that differed in word overlap (high, low, and multiple exemplar) with an untrained generalization passage. Participants were 132 White and Hispanic third-grade children from two schools in the northeast and mountain w...

Relations between CBM (oral reading and maze) and reading comprehension on state achievement tests: A meta-analysis
Publication date: April 2019Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 73Author(s): Jaehyun Shin, Kristen McMasterAbstractThe purpose of this study was to examine the validity of two widely used Curriculum-Based Measures (CBM) in reading—oral reading and maze—in relation to reading comprehension on state tests using a meta-analysis. A total of 61 studies (132 correlations) were identified across Grades 1 to 10. A random-effects meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the average correlations between the two CBM tasks and reading comprehension on state tests, and to analyze the effects of potential moderating variable...

The interpersonal character of teacher expectations: The perceived teacher-student relationship as an antecedent of teachers' track recommendations
In this study, we aimed to investigate the interpersonal character of teacher expectations by assessing 1) whether teacher expectations and the teacher-student relationship shared similar antecedents in terms of demographic characteristics of students, and 2) whether the dimensions closeness, conflict, and dependency of the teacher-student relationship were predictive of teacher expectations. Analyses were based on a large sample of 9881 students in 614 classes in the final grade of primary education. The results indicated that teacher expectations – as measured by track recommendations - and the teacher-student relation...

Gains in teacher-child interaction quality and children's school readiness skills: Does it matter where teachers start?
Publication date: April 2019Source: Journal of School Psychology, Volume 73Author(s): Priscilla Goble, Lia E. Sandilos, Robert C. PiantaAbstractTeachers' initial level of interactional quality at the beginning of a school year (baseline) was examined as a potential moderating factor in the relation between change in interactional quality and change in children's school readiness skills throughout an academic year. Participants were 269 preschool teachers and 1179 children from low-income backgrounds. Teacher-child interactions and children's school readiness skills were measured in the fall and spring of the preschool year...
