Abstract

Using longitudinal data across Grades 3 to 5 on students and teachers from 123 elementary schools, we developed a multivariate multilevel model incorporating changes among both students and teachers to examine the relationship among schools between change in school racial-ethnic gap in academic achievement (English language arts and mathematics) and change in school renewal effort (by school principals). Across Grades 3 to 5, we found statistically significant improvement in school renewal effort, whereas the school racial-ethnic gap in academic achievement was statistically stable. In terms of their relationship, we found that, across Grades 3 to 5, improvement in school renewal effort were weakly correlated with enlargement in school racial-ethnic gap in academic achievement concerning English language arts (correlation = .10). Meanwhile, improvement in school renewal effort were marginally correlated with reduction in school racial-ethnic gap in academic achievement concerning mathematics (correlation = −.18).

缩小成绩差距，加强学校重建：纳入学生和教师变化的多变量多层次方法

利用 123 所小学三至五年级学生和教师的纵向数据，我们建立了一个包含学生和教师变化的多变量多层次模型，以研究学校之间在学业成绩（英语语言艺术和数学）方面的种族-族裔差距变化与学校更新努力（校长）变化之间的关系。在三至五年级中，我们发现学校更新工作在统计上有显著改善，而学校种族-民族学业成绩差距在统计上保持稳定。就两者之间的关系而言，我们发现，在三至五年级，学校更新工作的改善与学校种族-民族在英语语言艺术方面学业成绩差距的扩大呈弱相关（相关系数 = 0.10）。同时，学校更新工作的改善与学校种族-族裔在数学学业成绩方面差距的缩小略有相关（相关性 = -.18）。
