A descriptive research design supported by qualitative and quantitative approaches were used. A total of 56 questionnaires were distributed to head teachers and career guidance teachers at 12 schools in Luanshya District. Out of which a total of 51 were returned, with 5 not being returned by head teachers amongst the twelve schools used in the study. The questionnaire contained closed and a few open-ended questions which were scaled with a Likert scale and were analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The qualitative questions were analyzed thematically, emerging themes were coded and descriptively presented thereafter. Quantitative responses were analyzed through quantitative method involving coding and analyzing using charts, frequencies and percentages through a computer program referred to as Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS version 22). The study revealed that, although career guidance has a significant positive role to play in the preparation of secondary school pupils for tertiary education, findings obtained from the study have revealed that career guidance was aimed preparing secondary school pupils for tertiary education although had a number of challenges. The number of pupils currently using these services on a weekly basis was very low, and the resources needed in the provision of these services are also lacking. Nevertheless, in spite of these hurdles being faced by the career guidance departments in the schools, there have been significant improvements in preparation of students for tertiary education. These significant improvements were in terms of behaviour; reduced pregnancy rates and improved academic performance, a major positive and a stepping stone for encouraging more pupils to utilise these services and enter tertiary education. The study recommended that head teachers ensure all teachers participate in spearheading campaign and information sharing on career guidance. Collaboration among teachers, career guidance teachers and counsellor in tertiary education should take pace, in order to easily identify pupils who faced challenges. Lastly, government of Zambia through the Ministry of General Education ensure that they equip schools with the requisite resources needed in order for the career guidance departments to operate in accordance with the expectations.

Annual Progress Report: Nebraska Reading First two year implementation

This report outlines the results of a two year implementation of the Nebraska\u27s Reading First initiative. Over three thousand six hundred students from Kindergarten to Third grade were included in the project. Results indicated significant growth across all demographic groups. Student performance in the earlier grades has shown great promise for later years. Growth in fluency and comprehension in grades 2 and 3 were not as impressive and require additional attention. The assessment results were triangulated by observations in the classrooms, interviews, and teacher responses to professional development- teachers know how to teach Phonemic Awareness and the alphabetic principle but were still struggling with finding time and effective strategies for fluency, comprehension strategies, and self monitoring. Growing gaps for special education student, Ethnic minorities and English Learners suggest an emphasis on the secondary and tertiary levels of intervention in the schools.
