Thus, there is a critical need to better assess, understand, and enhance teachers’ knowledge and attitudes toward homelessness. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is threefold—researchers sought to 1) design and test a survey to measure the knowledge and attitudes of preservice teachers working with youth experiencing homelessness; 2) measure the knowledge and attitudes of preservice teachers related to homelessness; and 3) measure the effectiveness of a virtual training program designed to enhance preservice teachers’ knowledge and attitudes toward homelessness using the finalized survey. Results of the data analysis were promising—indicating that the Knowledge and Attitudes on Homelessness Survey for Educators (KAHS) instrument is a reliable tool in measuring knowledge and attitudes related to homelessness and the online training program has a positive impact on teachers’ knowledge and attitudes.

In this exploratory study, we used latent profile analysis (LPA) to investigate the underlying classifications of children identified as at-risk for reading difficulties (N = 281) along selected cognitive, psychological, ecological, and child-related characteristics. We then used latent profile moderation, a methodology that extends the extensive prior literature on LPA, to explore for whom a supplemental, small-group emergent literacy intervention yielded effects. Latent profile moderation allowed us to explore whether specific subgroups of children characterized by multiple risk factors made significantly greater gains from the intervention than others. We identified four distinct profiles of preschool children considered at risk for reading difficulties, and the four profiles varied across cognitive, psychological, and ecological factors as well as on emergent literacy outcomes at the end of preschool. Further, we found a significant, moderate effect of the intervention on children’s letter writing in Profile 1. Thus, latent profile moderation analysis may help clarify the dynamic interplay of multiple salient factors relative to intervention outcomes and identify for whom interventions are effective.

Students were randomly assigned to either the intervention condition ( n = 167) or the typical practice condition ( n = 177). Middle school students in the intervention condition scored statistically significantly higher than students in the typical practice condition on measures of EasyCBM CCSS Comprehension (partial η 2 effect size [ES] = 0.10 [moderate]), EasyCBM Passage Reading Fluency (PRF) rate (ES = 0.18 [large]), EasyCBM PRF reading accuracy (ES= 0.08 [moderate]), WRMT-3 Oral Reading Fluency (ES = 0.13 [approaching large]), and WRMT-3 Passage Comprehension (ES = 0.25 [large]). Moderate grade level growth in measures of oral reading fluency led to extensive growth of reading comprehension skills. The eyewatering cost estimates to accelerate reading remediation per middle school student ($800 to $3,800 per student) and the paucity of research-proven interventions require innovating ways to combine and leverage the benefits of technology and intensive, effective curriculum instruction. The data show that Readable English is a strong reading program able to close reading gaps and grow students to grade level reading proficiency.","PeriodicalId":198500,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk (JESPAR)","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123942085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
