Al-Alameen International School


Hello bro

These two instructions will help you do the assessment, in the beginning you will find a website to choose the school,

If you couldn’t find school from Saudi Arabia in the website, You can choose any school from google in Saudi Arabia for elementary and add your own information.

Please bro do it very easy


Next, I wanted to share some helpful advice about your Module 4 Assignment. This list should cover some of the common questions I've received. I hope it helps as you write the paper!

The cover page should be an APA style Title Page (just like you did for the Empirical Article and will do for the final Signature Assignment).
The bullets points on the assignment description are just my way of encouraging you to write clearly and accurately. When we address parents or a neighbor (or someone not in education), we force ourselves to break down the technical language into lay terminology, while still being accurate. You do not need to address these specifically in the writing, unless that helps you (i.e., if you structure it like a formal letter to a parent, that might help you feel like you’ve been clear).
When you interpret your school's data, you won't be able to say much beyond  what is given – you can use the school demographics to help you paint the picture of the context and then describe the data (just the facts). As researchers, we avoid judgment because we don’t know more about the school than what is given. In other words, avoid saying "This is a bad school because ..." or "The kids in this school can't do math." These are judgment statements. Instead, present the data and then draw a conclusion (maybe say "struggle with" or "scored low on" or the opposite if scores are good!).
As an APA paper, you will need to reference the website. Just try your best! I find the APA manual to be less helpful for these non-traditional sources, so I recommend using the information from the Purdue OWL website and follow the instructions for referencing “data sets”: https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/apa_style/apa_formatting_and_style_guide/reference_list_electronic_sources.html
Within the paper, I would recommend citing the website in a few places. I tend to encourage the “bookend” approach to citing – in other words, as you open the paper, you might indicate where all of the data come from and cite there; by the end of the paper, you might remind the reader that all of the information came from the website and cite there. Then, within sections where you give specific data, it is a good idea to again cite those (just once in the general paragraph about specific data is sufficient). So, it’s a balance of not citing the same website TONS of times ;-) but still reminding the reader where the data came from … hope that helps! In the end, so long as you are clear and cite it at least once in the paper and include a reference section, you are good to go! The rest is stylistic preference!
The data you present should be in narrative form, not in chart form. Please practice interpreting the data in your own words and trying your best to communicate the data clearly in your writing.
The 5 page paper can include the Title Page and Reference Page, so long as you've covered all the requirements listed on the rubric
The school can be a charter school (charter schools in CA are public!) and you can pick elementary, junior HS, or high school
I really look forward to reading these! Have fun being a data-detective!

Assignment: Assessment Project Description: InIf IIWhat You will write a paper (approximately 5 pages) describing the assessment data for a school of your choice in LAUSD, using the data available via the Ed-Data website: https://www.ed-data.orgi The paper must include a description of the name, location, and demographic information of the school students (i.e., describing English Learners, students who qualify for Free and Reduced Meals, Average Class Size, etc.). Then you will review the performance data about the school, including the overall CAASP English Language Arts data and Mathematics data. Then, select 2 sub-groups of students and explain their ELA and Mathematics test data. You must cite where the data come from. Write your paper using principles of assessment and testing presented in class and in your text, while keeping the following questions in mind: you were a parent interested in attending this school, what do you notice about its diversity? do you notice about its ELA performance? What do you notice about its math performance? If your child had special needs (i.e., disability, language learner), what do you notice about the school's ability to meet the needs of your child? IIIBased on the data, would you recommend this school to a neighbor? Why or why not? You should write your paper in APA style with a cover page and reference section (about 5 pages total). Submission See course schedule details: Purpose of this This activity serves at least two purposes. First, it will give you practical experience in finding and activity: evaluating assessment data. Second, it will give you practice in communicating clearly about assessment data. Grading Rubric: See next page. The final paper is worth 20 points.

Solution

Al-Alameen International School
Demographic location: Ash Sheikh Muhamad ibn Salih Al Uthaymin, Umm Al Hamam Al Gharbi Riyadh Saudi Arabia.
Al-Alameen international schools aim to provide education in three major features. First Arabic, because the national language of the country is Arabic also some of the courses taught in the school. 2nd is British, English is an international language so school intend to teach students curriculum in English so the student will be able to achieve international standers of modern education. The third important educational feature is giving the education of Islam. The institute believes that the children who brought up in Islamic environments will make them a better Muslim and their Islamic roots will be strong and the long-term success depends on the environment in which student grow up in first few years of his life (international-schools-database.com, 2019). The goal of the school is provide outstanding education to the children in the first five year of his educational life because it is the point where student start to observe different thing about the world and the techniques of learning that is why positive learning and providing opportunities that can improve student’s education is important for his social, physical, emotional and cognitive development.
The classes in school are designed using the latest technology. The smart classrooms allow more communication between teacher and student and with the available equipment’s teacher can give lesson by using DVD, VHS, PowerPoint presentations and so on this latest technology is teaching get the visual attention of the students and increase their interest in learning and is easy to remember. For the English accent practice school has arranged native teachers of English because in starting year it is important to develop the right accent.  The curriculum in school is not local but implements the national curriculum of England. They provide students number of benefits other than education like counseling and help regarding other mental and physical issues and after class work, they arrange a session to help students doing their homework and guide about things they find it hard to understand.

Diveristy in School

The school seems to have a good reputation and their learning methods are impressive. The most attention-worthy feature of the school is that it gives education according to the latest educational standers. The classes are wide and have all the facilities that a student could need while learning. There are students from different backgrounds and also natives. The environment of the school is very diverse and will not put a foreign school in isolation while choosing a school; the biggest concern of the parents are environment and education quality of the school (Ahmar & Elyas, 2014).
Choosing a good school is hard because apparently all schools drag about quality education, and being economical. To avoid choosing the wrong school, it is important for the parents to get the review from those who had experience with the concerned institute which is not hard to get because these days people use internet website to post their reviews (Amani & Al-Salouli, 2013). While checking the reviews, most of the parents were satisfied with school performance and its environment. There were some negative reviews too which can be discussed with the school authorities and their solutions if they exist Further, it is important to check the overall examination score of the school (Ming-Te & Holcomb, 2010).

ELA Performance

After detailed research, it is found out that the school provides exceptional English language training. The schools believe in providing an opportunity to hear and understand a clear accent to the students. What students learn at the age of 3 to 9 stays with them forever. Since the native language of the country is Arabic children hear it everywhere, they can speak it frequently and have developed the Arabic accent from the very start. A study has proven that a kid in the age of 3 to 12 can learn as much as 5-6 different languages. To meet the requirements of the modern world, it is important for schools to give the student a proper knowledge of English (Khalid, 2014).
In concern school, the British English language has strong roots. In school, the subjects that are in the English language are taught by instructors who are native English. Their accent can have a positive effect on students hearing and understanding English because students at a young age happened to imitate their teachers. For the higher class, the teachers are highly qualified by using different teaching styles and techniques the stuff makes English learning more effective and easier for the students (Heba, 2015).
The performance of the school in providing the language with an accent is good on the other hand they had eliminated the activities lie musicology which is the part of British curriculum and instead add Islamic features like Quran, Tajweed and fiqh. In after-school clubs, there is an opportunity for the students to learn art and crafts; it is a refreshing and yet creative activity for students to learn about different things related to art.

Math Performance

Math is considered to be a challenging subject for the students. Many find it hard and do not study which can end up having bad grades in Math. In school, the performance regarding math is quite good. the teachers are for the math are good at their work and the school has provided facilities for the betterment in enhancing knowledge. It is hard to access the performance of student regarding mathematics due to confidentiality issue, but with the overall result, it can be observed that under the concerned school students are doing good in mathematics (Abdullah, 2010).
 The institute has implemented the national curriculum of England. According to this framework, there are 3 stages corresponding to the starting years of education. The curriculum framework focuses on basic principles, patterns, functions, systems and relationships that students can use in solving mathematical equations. The focused areas in the curriculum are Numbers, Algebra, Geometry, Measure, handling data and problem-solving. These are the main strands and are divided to further 3 sub-strands. The Cambridge mathematics curriculum provides a framework for a strong foundation in order to have command on the further stages of education such as Cambridge IGCSE (Cambriged, 2019).

Special needs of the students

The school has provided facilities for the students who are facing disabilities. There are students who find it difficult to learn instead of believing that they are weak students; it is important to find out if they have any mental or physical disability. Some student happened to take more time in understanding and find it hard to remember lessons. There is a possibility that they are suffering from Dyslexia. It is a neurologically based disorder among individuals. It is a disability in which it is hard for the student to understand literacy skills, vocabulary, spellings, reading, writing and maths. To address this issue school, provide students assistance, so they learn as effectively as other students. also, for academic giddiness, emotional and psychological care school provide student counseling. Students can face stress and depression while studying and at such a young age it is hard to describe their issue to the elders.
Having student counseling in school is somehow relieving for parents they can be less worried about the mental stress student can face in school because if something like that happened school has qualified staff to address it. Also, for the student who needs extra assistance from their teacher can come to the after-school club where they provide assistance in reading, writing, revision and homework

Recommendations

The curriculum and environment of the school are very satisfying and parents will ultimately choose it for their children. I will definitely recommend this school to neighbour and friends. It is the basic right of every child to get a quality education and after researching about the features of this school, one can find it goo in all the aspects. The staff is highly qualified; the classes are wide and beautifully furnished plus the school focus on both modern and traditional education.
Basic knowledge of the religion is part of the curriculum which makes it really beneficial for the students. The education is mixed with British standards and Arab values making it beneficial for the present and the future of the student. But on the other hand, the limitation in choosing this school is its high fees. It could be hard for some parents to enrol their children in this school. other than that, the overall school features are good enough for the parents to consider.
