Poidomani Dissertation Committee Mary Ruzicka, Ph.D., Mentor James Caulfield, Ed.D. James Montesano, Ed.D. BNC~Sabatini, Ed.D. Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Doctor of Education Seton Hall University ABSTRACT A CASE STUDY ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PDS AND NON PDS HIGH SCHOOL VARIABLES AND STUDENT OUTCOMES IN THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY by Maria A. Poidomani Using a case study design and inferential statistics, the author examined data from 14 New Jersey High Schools to see if there was a difference between Professional Development (PDS) high schools and Non PDS high schools in regards to student achievement and other school variables. Data was analyzed in aggregate according to PDS and Non PDS designation and was also analyzed by matching seven PDS and seven Non PDS schools by socio-economic (DFG) designation and percentage of ethnicity diversity. Standardized tests scores and other descriptive, contextual school data related to student demographics, attendance, mobility, average class size, length of instructional day, and level of teacher education and experience and school mission statements were examined using the Chi-square Test or Fisher's Exact Test, when applicable. Other school and student descriptive information was categorized according to similarities and differences that emerged fiom comparing/analyzing site data using the constant comparative method of data analysis. The state- reported, categorized mean scores (in terms of Advanced, Proficient, and Partial proficiency) of eleventh grade students in select schools on the New Jersey High School Proficiency Assessment (HSPA) were used to observe and categorize student achievement data for the purpose of this study. Language Arts and Mathematics scores were analyzed. Four of the 15 hypotheses in the study were found to be statistically significant. The findings in this study support and answer the main research question that there was a difference in PDS and Non PDS schools in the area of student performance outcomes in both Mathematics and Language Arts, but findings were not conclusive in all matched pairs. Even though a majority of the significant results in this study supported more favorable student outcomes for students in the Non PDS schools, some positive results from some of the PDS schools in this study in regards to student achievement outcomes were also affumed. The significant differences were most apparent in the data that has been disaggregated by ethnicity.
