Book Description
The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship that exists between the reported implementation and integration of computer based technology into the middle schools of Tennessee and the achievement test scores of the middle school students in grades 6, 7, and 8. In January of 2004, 2005, and 2006 the Tennessee Department of Education implemented the EdTech Tennessee Online Technology Evaluation System (E-TOTE) Survey of technology implementation and integration to gather data from public schools. This survey was intended as a means of providing a measure of the status of technology to the federal government required under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation. Annually students in Tennessee take the state mandated Tennessee Comprehensive Achievement Program (TCAP) test. The reports of the test results are aggregated by school and by grade. This study investigated possible correlations between these 2 sets of data. The technology implementation and integration levels of the schools were analyzed to determine if there were any correlations between reported technology levels for the schools and the school-level TCAP achievement scores in reading and language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Specific technology indicators that were examined included the level of technology integration, teaching and learning, educator preparation and development, administration and support services and infrastructure for technology, number of computers, network access, and capabilities and percentages of 8th grade technology literacy. The study population consisted of 154 middle schools in Tennessee that were comprised of grades 6, 7, and 8 for which school3 level Tennessee Comprehensive Assessment Program scores were available and who completed the E-TOTE survey in 2004, 2005, and 2006. The findings include: The correlations identified in this study indicate that there is a very small relationship between the implementation and integration of technology in.

Book Description
Since the 1960s, business leaders and educators used the idea of goal setting theory as a guide to success. Teachers who implemented goal setting strategies contributed to student success and achievement. During my study, I found little existing literature focused on academic goal setting implementation for students in Tennessee rural middle schools containing grades six through eight. The purpose of this qualitative interpretive study was to investigate Tennessee rural middle school teachers’ perceptions about implementing academic goal setting for students. I sent an online Google Forms questionnaire to 117 certified and licensed teachers in varying Tennessee rural middle schools. After 21 teachers completed the questionnaire, I found participants did not have the same experiences with academic goal setting implementation for students in their middle schools or districts. All 21 participants answered all the questions; however, I only used 20 participant responses for data analysis. I analyzed the data using open, axial, and selective coding to generate themes. The results included varying benefits in implementing student academic goal setting at the middle school level, including increased student motivation and accountability. Professional Learning Communities and various strategies were also perceived as benefits by teachers. On the contrary, additional results yielded perceived barriers to academic goal setting implementation for students, which included a lack of teacher training and experience, time, and student buy in. Rural Middle School teachers needed opportunities to collaborate, hear success stories, and learn strategies behind academic goal setting implementation for students.
