In this article, four urban high school students and their student leadership and social justice class advisor address the question, "What are high school students' perspectives on the 2001 No Child Left Behind Act's (NCLB) definition of a highly qualified teacher?" As the advisor to the course, Garcia challenged her students to examine their high school experiences with teachers. The students offer personal stories that describe what they consider the critical qualities of teachers — qualities not based solely on the credentials and education status defined by NCLB. The authors suggest that highly qualified teachers should cultivate safe, respectful, culturally sensitive, and responsive learning communities, establish relationships with students' families and communities, express their high expectations for their students through instructional planning and implementation, and know how students learn. This article urges educators and policymakers to consider the students' voices and school experiences when making decisions about their educational needs, including the critical issue of teacher quality.

The article deals with the problem of psychological mechanisms of development of students’ mathematical research abilities in the process of solving mathematical creative tasks. It is indicated on the growing role of mathematical knowledge in connection with the implementation of a new, broader approach to the social functions of the school. Therefore, the formation of creative, research thinking, high level of need for achievements of schoolchildren is, of course, an important task of modern education, in particular its intermediate level. In order to develop the flexibility of thinking, developed and proposed to students of the upper classes, three types of problems with gradually increasing complexity: analytical and synthetic problems, problems with different degrees of assistance, tasks of self-research orientation. The results of recent researches and publications on psychology of creative activity, specifics of the process of formation of mathematical abilities are analyzed. The definition of concepts of research abilities, research mathematical abilities is given. The relationship between research abilities and the development of the problem of creativity psychology has been established. It was created the methodology for the development of components of mathematical research abilities of pupils in the process of carrying out special classes, which was focused on the development of separate components of mathematical research abilities. It has been confirmed that specially organized training positively influenced the development of structural components of mathematical research abilities of senior pupils. It is indicated on certain differences in the definition of research abilities in psychological and pedagogical literature, in revealing the essence, structure of research abilities, which affects the absence of valid methods of their detection. This is precisely why we can explain the inadequate development of this problem in methodological, theoretical and practical plans. It is proved that the senior school age is the age of development of the pre-professional scientific orientation of the person, in particular research abilities. The research mathematical orientation of high school students is manifested in the ability to quickly and easily find original, non-standard ways of solving problems, to investigate problems for compatibility and sufficiency of data, to establish cause and effect patterns. It is confirmed that the role of the motivational-personal component of mathematical research abilities is increasing among the high school students, namely: the interest in mathematical thinking is increasing, the desire to learn new is growing, showing persistence, determination, commitment and so on.

The article focuses on the problem of developing the young peoples patriotic attitude of towards their home country: it determines the components of patriotic consciousness and messages that contribute to its development. It generalizes the knowledge available in the psychological science and offers a definition of the term «patriotism». It publishes the empirical research data in determining the values hierarchy of the high school students, their level of spiritual and moral development and the predominant components of patriotic consciousness. The results of the research reveal that thespiritual and moral development serves as a factor in forming patriotic consciousness; in the structure of the personal patriotic consciousness of high school students the emotional-sensual component prevails, most of the respondents identify themselves as «convinced patriots». The spiritual and moral development of high school students is characterized by low and medium indicators, which adversely affects their patriotic consciousness. Most of the recipients meditate on patriotism, while only few young people are prepared to act for the good of the Motherland.

Slope is one of the most important mathematical concepts that students encounter in middle school and high school. The concept of slope “weaves its way through algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus” (Anderson and Nelson 1994, p. 27), yet research with high school students shows that they can often calculate slope but are unable to interpret its meaning (Newburgh 2001; Stump 2001). This is a familiar problem in mathematics education; students learn a formula for solving a particular type of problem without conceptually understanding the relevant mathematical ideas. One way to enhance students' understanding of slope is to introduce it conceptually in middle school (Beckmann and Rozanski 1999), with the understanding that this conceptual foundation will provide a basis for the formal definition of slope to be introduced later on. In this article, we describe two related lessons for sixth-grade students that were designed to accomplish this goal.

Abstract Background The prevalence of obesity among youths has become a public health problem. The trend in the prevalence of obesity among high school students in Mississippi has not been examined in the last 17 years. Methods The data from the Mississippi High School Youth Risk Behavior Survey from 1999 to 2015 were used to determine the prevalence of obesity. The definition of obesity was based on age- and sex-specific body mass index (BMI) of more than 95th percentile, according to 2000 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) growth charts. The differences in the groups were examined using the univariate t-test statistical analysis at p < 0.05 and frequency distribution to determine the percentage differences. Results There was a decline in the prevalence of obesity from 1999 to 2015 among Whites but no significant decrease among Blacks. The prevalence based on race in 2105 was 18.9%, which is higher than 14.4% in 1999 and remaining years. The rate of obesity based on race and sex was 27.7% among Blacks and 15.9% among White males in 2015. The Black females had prevalence of 20.6%, which is higher than their White counterpart (12.1%) in 2015 and previous years. Conclusion The prevalence of obesity among Blacks was higher when compared to White students. There was an increased prevalence of obesity in males over females. Students in 9th and 10th grade had a higher prevalence of obesity than those in 11th and 12th grade.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to assess the quality and correctness of information on Polish soils available on selected websites. Particular attention was paid to educational portals, which became the subject of evaluation of the information its contains in terms of the correctness, up-to-dateness and reliability. Twenty-five websites representing educational portals and blogs were selected for analysis in terms of their contents (type of subject matter) correctness (substantial value), curentness (presence of up-to-date information) and completeness. Most of the information on the evaluated educational portals is targeted at high school students. These websites present only basic content. The most frequent issues on the analyzed portals were: soil types and soil systematics, distribution of soils in Poland, definition of soil and also soil valuation classes. Websites addressed to university students constitute a decided minority, could be said, that even an exception. One of those is article on Wikipedia, which has the highest educational value among all analysed websites.
