This book was released on 2015 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to identify and develop an understanding of the relationships between the perceptions of principals regarding the Michigan mandatory annual teacher evaluation policy and job satisfaction, self-efficacy, and stress as principals navigated the roles of building manager, instructional leader and policy implementer. This quantitative study asked 3,009 Michigan public school principals to share their perceptions regarding the teacher evaluation policy. A total of 426 principals responded to a questionnaire published in a web-based format using a Likert scale. Interest in this study by the Michigan Department of Education Research Department allowed access to all email addresses for Michigan public schools using the Educational Entity Master (EEM) system. Questions in the survey collected demographic data and uncovered perceptions held by respondents regarding policy implementation, role definition, and reinforced constructs of job satisfaction, self-efficacy, time, stress, need for training and fairness in the implementation process Stakeholder theory, which had roots in business, defined the reciprocal relationship between owners and stakeholders by observing management practices implemented for the pursuit of articulated organizational goals and served as the conceptual framework. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for the analysis and showed Michigan principals were marginally knowledgeable regarding the requirements of the evaluation policy; job satisfaction and self-efficacy were correlated to principals’ voice in the formation and implementation of the evaluation policy especially at the building and district levels; a weak relationship existed between knowledge and respondent self-esteem; and the constructs of job satisfaction, self efficacy, stress/time and knowledge were predictors for successful vi implementation of the policy. Coding the open-ended question led to the reinforcement of themes pertaining to self-efficacy, job satisfaction, time and stress. Additional identified themes included the need for training and a concern for statewide level of fairness in completing the evaluation. Through the lens of stakeholder theory, it was important to acknowledge the reciprocal relationship between the principal (as stakeholder) and Michigan legislature (as the firm). To increase the knowledge, job satisfaction and self-efficacy of principals, the opportunity to provide a voice to policy formation and implementation is recommended. Professional organizations, government and educational agencies and higher education leadership programs must address communication and training opportunities for educational leaders.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Administrator perspectives regarding current and potential increased participation in post-secondary educational opportunities by Michigan high school students were explored in this descriptive quantitative study. Targeted concerns included current institional levels of involvement, personal knowledge concerning program rules and regulations, efficacy of existing programs, barriers to program expansion, and potential solutions to those barriers as perceived by the participants. The study utilized an online researcher-created survey instrument and stakeholder and complexity/contingency theories to explore commonalities and differences bedtween three adminsitrator groups. These stakeholders included college dual enrollment officers, school district superintendents, and high school principals. Information gained from the exploration of this topic is intended to assist state policy makers, progaram developers in higher education, and college and high school administrators in their educational reform efforts related to expansion of post-secondary programs. Results show that participants perfer programs they operationally and fiscally control to programs they do not. The concept of post-secondary programs is vaualble to participants, both now and once economic conditions improve. Funding is the most critical concern for school administrators, who generally believe the schools' contribution is too great. College administrators view the funding formula as generally equitable. Three-quarters of schools participate in Advanced Placement programs and all colleges accept AP credits. Approximateny 80% of colleges participate in dual enrollment, but acceptance of dual enrollment credit varies, with public four-year institutions being most restrictive. Half to three-quarters of participants were able to correctly answer questions regarding student and institutional eligibilty and organizational responsibilities concerning dual enrollment. Questions were taken from published materials readily available to the participants. Significant differences in intergroup responses were noted in five of 17 barriers to program expansion. School officials see systemic issues as the primary concerns holding back expansion while college officials believe participant-centered problems are most significant. Significant differences were also noted in seven of 12 solution statements, with less intergroup ageeement. While there is strong support for increasing options for less-talented students, participants have little interest in eliminating academic or grade-level requirements, which would allow for increased student participation in career and technical programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While there is no doubt that an abundance of newly enacted education policies abounds across the state and across the nation, more fundamental questions remain. What is the nature of these reforms? What do they hope to accomplish? How successful have they been? In this book, we attempt to provide some answers to these questions by examining a major set of education policy reforms undertaken in Michigan and across the country over the past 20 or more years. These innovations include finance reform, state assessment of student performance, a series of school accountability measures, charter schools, schools of choice, and, for Detroit, a bevy of oft-conflicting policies and reform efforts that have belabored but seldom helped its public schools. In the pages that follow, we examine the decidedly mixed outcomes and effects of this large array of reform policies and programs. Each chapter addresses a specific policy area, outlining reform activity across the nation with an emphasis on Michigan's efforts as well as on one or two states that led these changes.
