杜瓦尔县公立学校教师留任情况

老师 effectiveness is directly connected to the academic growth of students; previous research suggests that effectiveness increases as teachers gain experience. 老师 retention is a measure of the number of teachers who continue their employment in their current school district in a given school year. 留住教师很重要 not only because of the money invested in training these professionals, but also because 它对学生学业成绩的影响. 这项研究考察了历史上 retention data in Duval County Public 学校 (DCPS) in order to answer the following research question: Do school-level factors influence teacher turnover? 研究结果 suggest that school-level factors do effect turnover rates. 为了应对这些挑战, 研究人员提出了5项政策
recommendations: implementing 佛罗里达 model school legislation, amending 佛罗里达 principal leadership standards, adjusting DCPS hiring practices, implementing a critical teacher 短缺学生贷款减免计划,以及
developing and implementing predictive risk modeling.

Children Incarcerated: Exploring Diversion as a 健康y Alternative to Formal Processing

The annual cost of incarceration-related recidivism in the U.S. 超过70亿 (司法政策研究所,2014). 大约有20万青少年被释放 a residential facility every year and more than half will be back within the same 年(Youth, 2018年访问). This paper conducted a comparative 分析 of juvenile diversion programs and commitment across social factors, program effectiveness [recidivism], and cost to prove that public safety and lower recidivism for juvenile offenders can best be reached through diversion programming for nonviolent felony offenses, instead 关于承诺倾向. Research was conducted using peer-reviewed journals for socioeconomic and public safety data and a cost comparison was made using government websites for data across the state of 佛罗里达, including the State Attorney’s Office, the Office of Juvenile 正义 and Delinquency Prevention, and the Department of Juvenile 正义. In the 2016-17 fiscal year, 佛罗里达 commitment had an average recidivism 比率为35.6%,而分流只有11% (OJJDP, 2018)。. 承诺的成本 在佛罗里达州,每个孩子每天的花费是151美元.80美元,但只有9美元.33分备降. Annually this is $55,407 per child per year for commitment and $3,405.平均45分 为佛罗里达州的分流项目做准备. 这显示了焦点的转移 from punishment to the individual needs of the juvenile by expanding diversion programming to support non-violent felonies including felony vandalism, felony drug, auto-theft, and burglary charges is in the best interest of everyone, while ensuring children don’t have criminal records before even reaching adulthood.
