Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: In this qualitative study, I (a) examined school administrator perceptions of managing student behavior, (b) evaluated their perceptions of district policies and practices, and (c) represented their reports of actions taken in conflict to district policy. Data were generated through interviews with 6 high school administrators, the collection of youth arrest reports over a 3-year period, the collection of district policy documents, and the creation of personal journal entries. Results indicate that (a) administrators perceive parent, student, and teacher attitudes as the primary challenge to managing student behavior; (b) administrators believe that additional disciplinary resources and curricular changes will engage more students in the learning process; (c) administrators hold diverse beliefs regarding district disciplinary policies; and (d) actions most often taken by administrators align with the district disciplinary policy.
Download or read book Faculty Perceptions Regarding the Effectiveness of a School wide Behavior Management Plan written by Michael E. Mundis and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to analyze the perceptions of faculty members regarding the effectiveness of a school-wide behavior management plan. A total of 47 faculty members from three elementary buildings volunteered to participate in the study. Each participant completed a survey, which focused on four sections of school-wide behavior management. Responses were analyzed for each section as they related to the perceived placement status of various characteristics. Faculty members provided a priority of improvement status for several of those characteristics. Data were also collected through the utilization of follow-up interviews. Seven faculty members, a subset of the 47 participants, volunteered additional clarification regarding the characteristics of the school-wide behavior management plan. The findings indicated that all three elementary schools had most characteristics of school-wide behavior management in place. Survey data revealed that school-wide expectations were evident within non-classroom systems as well as classroom systems. The procedures for individual student systems were perceived as needing improvement, yet were effective within the current plan. Faculty members also indicated that there was a common awareness to make use of behavioral data for planning behavioral interventions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative grounded research design study analyzed high school administrators' perceptions of the effects of Tier Two Interventions on students' behavior and achievement within a school-wide positive behavior intervention support (SWPBIS) framework. Data were collected from 10 high schools in the states of Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Illinois in the form of surveys, open-ended responses, and interviews. Results of administrators' perceptions on the effects of Tier Two interventions were determined to have a positive and limited impact within various variables analyzed in the study's instruments on students' behavior and achievement. One area of future research may include a replication of this study, in order to obtain more participants, as more high schools within the United States begin to implement Tier Two interventions within an SWPBIS framework.

Book excerpt: Since the early 1800s, African Americans have designed signature buildings; however, in the mainstream marketplace, African American architects, especially women, have remained invisible in architecture history, theory and practice. Traditional architecture design studio education has been based on the historical models of the Beaux-Arts and the Bauhaus, with a split between design and production teaching. As the result of current teaching models, African American architects tend to work on the production or technical side of building rather than in the design studio. It is essential to understand the centrality of culture, gender, space and knowledge in design studios. Space Unveiled is a significant contribution to the study of architecture education, and the extent to which it has been sensitive to an inclusive cultural perspective. The research shows that this has not been the case in American education because part of the culture remains hidden.

Download or read book African American Principals written by Kofi Lomotey and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1989-09-11 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking study fills a significant gap in educational research literature as it explores the problem of persistent and pervasive underachievement by African-American students in the public schools of the United States. Teacher quality, school resources, socio-economic status of students, cultural relevance of curriculum, and school leadership are a few of the factors that contribute to achievement or the lack of it by these students. Lomotey focuses on the impact of the African-American principal's leadership, its effect on the academic achievement of African-American students, and the day-to-day activities associated with school leadership. An early chapter reviews relevant research focusing on the connection between principal leadership and academic achievement in general. The extracted recurring qualities then form the basis for exploring whether African-American principals in more successful African-American schools possess the specific qualities suggested by the research. Lomotey finds that three additional and important characteristics are shared by his sample of principals: a deep commitment to the education of African-American children; a strong compassion for and understanding of both their students and the local community; and a sincere confidence in the ability of all African-American children to learn. The text is enhanced by two dozen tables that present the information discussed. An early chapter details the study's methodology with an overview and discussion of sampling and measurement procedures. Useful to students of educational administration, African American Principals: School Leadership and Success will also be of value in courses focusing on urban studies, school effectiveness, and school leadership. Black Studies programs addressing African-American education in America will find this a most necessary text. African-American educators--scholars and practitioners--as well as parents, community leaders, and other lay people will profit from the up-to-the-minute insights presented here.

Download or read book A Comparative Study of Undergraduate Upperclassmen Students Perceptions of Student and Faculty Incivility in Three Academic Disciplines written by Rebecca Wagner and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incivility, defined as rude, discourteous, and disrespectful behavior, in higher education and in nursing education, is a growing problem and concern as it affects the college learning environment and professional preparation for the workplace. Healthcare institutions and accreditation bodies require interventional actions to address the prevalence of incivility in healthcare, nursing practice specifically, and in nursing education as a precursor to the professional workplace. The purpose of this causal comparative study was to explore Heider's attribution theory using the Incivility in Higher Education (IHE) survey to compare undergraduate upperclassmen students' perceptions of student and faculty incivility among the three academic disciplines of nursing, education, and business in a large public university in the Western Mountain region of the US. The independent variable, discipline of study (nursing, education, and business), was generally defined as the undergraduate upperclassmen (junior and senior) students in those disciplines. The dependent variable was generally defined as student perceptions of student and faculty incivility. Descriptive statistics and ANOVA analysis were used to determine differences in upperclassmen students' perceptions of student and faculty incivility among the groups. The results of the research provided insight to the problem of incivility within higher education and specifically nursing education. Program educators and administrators can use results of the study to design specific interventions to address the problem. Suggestions for further research are also included.
Download or read book Faculty Misconduct in Collegiate Teaching written by John M. Braxton and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-04-30 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Faculty Misconduct in Collegiate Teaching, higher education researchers John Braxton and Alan Bayer address issues of impropriety and misconduct in the teaching role at the postsecondary level. Braxton and Bayer define and examine norms of teaching behavior: what they are, how they come to exist, and how transgressions are detected and addressed. Do faculty members across various collegiate settings, for example, share views about appropriate and inappropriate teaching behaviors, as they share expectations regarding actions related to research? And what mechanisms are utilized to correct inappropriate behavior on the part of college and university teachers? The authors' work is based on survey results obtained from faculty members at research universities, liberal arts colleges, and two-year community, junior, and technical colleges. Braxton and Bayer's focus is on undergraduate teaching in four disciplines: biology, history, mathematics, and psychology. In their analyses, the authors examine how individual, disciplinary, and institutional differences influence professorial behavior. In contrast to the more explicitly understood and enforced rules of conduct in research, the authors find that teaching norms are informally defined and observed. They argue that a formal code of ethics for undergraduate teaching would serve the dual purpose of improving undergraduate education and elevating the status of college teaching. A groundbreaking study of contemporary academe, Faculty Misconduct in Collegiate Teaching is required reading for all university and college instructors and administrators
Download or read book The Impact of Data Sharing on the Accuracy of Staff Perceptions in Schools Implementing School wide Positive Behavior Support written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decisions to refer students for disciplinary consequences (Hyman & Perone, 1998), eligibility for special services referrals (Smart, Wilton, & Keeling, 1980), and even suspension or expulsion (Brooks, Schiraldi, & Zeidenberg, 2000), are all likely to be driven by teacher perceptions of student behavior. Yet though there is a wealth of research investigating the mechanisms and consequences of teacher perceptions of student behavior, the accuracy of these perceptions has not been addressed in the literature. This study contrasted staff responses on questionnaires about student behavior by infraction category, school locations, and times with the actual referral counts from each setting to achieve a measure of perceptive accuracy for each participant. The results presented in this study extend the research literature on teacher perceptions by providing strong support for data sharing as a perception-changing mechanism among participants working in schools implementing school-wide positive behavior support (SWPBS). Participants assigned to conditions in which school-wide discipline data were shared had accuracy scores which were statistically higher than those in non-data sharing conditions. However, asking participants to report their perceptions more than once did not increase the accuracy of their responses in a statistically significant way. The application of an experimental research design and the use of appropriate statistical significance tests draw attention to effects which are statistically real. Additionally, the random assignment of participants within schools to one of four conditions provides us with confidence that the intervention, and not some factor, caused the change in accuracy scores among participants.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined student responses to the Minnesota Student Survey in 286 schools across the state of Minnesota. Of these schools, 143 of the schools had implemented PBIS and the other 143 schools had not. The study included elementary, middle, and high schools. The schools were coded as either small (under 150 students), medium (151-480 students), or large (over 480 students). For schools that had been trained to implement PBIS, fidelity of implementation was also considered and all schools were coded as having either high fidelity (80 or higher for SET; 70 or higher for BoQ) or low fidelity. The cohort level of each school that has implemented PBIS is also recognized. Each school that had implemented PBIS was matched with a school that had not implemented PBIS that had similar free and reduced lunch population (within 15%) and same type of school (elementary, middle or high school) and also the same size of school (small, medium, or large). Students in 5th, 8th, 9th, and 11th grades were asked to complete the Minnesota Student Survey and responses were analyzed to compare the differences in responses across various domains: (a) School behavior: Commitment; (b) School behavior: Discipline; (c) School behavior: Bullying/harassment; (d) School behavior of others: Adult treatment of students; (e) School behavior of others: Student illegal behavior; (f) School behavior of others: bullying/harassment; (g) Risk behavior: General; (h) Risk behavior: Drugs and alcohol. Data were analyzed to determine any differences among student responding based on the PBIS schools' fidelity of implementation scores and the cohort level of the PBIS schools. Results combined across all grade levels demonstrate that students who attended schools that have implemented PBIS with fidelity report lower grades, but that they care more about doing better in school; higher instances of being sent to the office for discipline, but lower instances of bringing a weapon to school; they report that they feel that adults at their school treat students more fairly, that adults at their school listen to the students, that teachers care about students, and that teachers at their school are more interested in them as a person when compared with students who attended schools that were not trained in PBIS. However, fewer positive PBIS-related outcomes and more negative PBIS-related outcomes were found in high schools than were found in elementary schools. Differences between PBIS cohorts and grade levels are also discussed in addition to the limitations of the current study and implications for future research.
