The vestiges of Brown: an analysis of the placements of African American principals in Florida public schools (2010-2011)Unknown Date (has links)
The purpose of this study was to examine and describe the relationship between a school's percentage of African American students enrolled and the placement of an African American principal for all of Florida's K-12 traditional public schools during the academic year 2010-2011. This study also sought to determine if this relationship was moderated by each school's level, size, letter grade, socioeconomic status (FRL), gender of principal, as well as gender and race of the presiding district superintendent. Lastly, the relationship between each moderator variable and the placement of African American principals was examined. The ultimate objective was to determine if limited opportunities still widely exist in the placement of African American principals throughout Florida. ... From a legal perspective, although Brown and its progeny of civil rights laws valiantly set out to eliminate race and racism from schools and in the workplace, the findings revealed that race continues to be a factor in determining inequity in principal placements. / by Leo Nesmith, Jr. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2013. / Includes bibliography. / Mode of access: World Wide Web. / System requirements: Adobe Reader.

The implementation of the right to education in South Africa and NigeriaTaiwo, Elijah Adewale January 2011 (has links)
The thesis examines the right to education in South Africa and Nigeria. It presents the right to education as an empowerment right which is given a wide recognition in a number of important international and regional human rights instruments as well as in national constitutions. It asserts that the right to education is a right with a multiplying effect in the sense that where it is effectively guaranteed, it enhances the enjoyment of all other rights and freedoms, and when it is denied, it precludes the enjoyment of many other human rights. The thesis examines the provisions of relevant international and regional human rights instruments to assess the adequacy of a framework that applies to South Africa and Nigeria's obligations regarding the right to education. It argues that those instruments impose obligations on all the States to make primary, secondary and higher levels of education available, accessible, acceptable and adaptable to all in their territories. It argues that by having ratified those international agreements in which the right to education is protected, both South Africa and Nigeria assume obligations under international law, enjoining them to realise the right to education and to respect freedoms in education. The study adopts a comparative approach and relies on primary and secondary sources of data; the data is subjected to an in-depth content analysis. The focus of the comparison is on whether the South African's position regarding the right to education can inform Nigeria's interpretation of the right to education. The reason being that the Nigerian Constitution does not provide for the right to education as a basic right as exists in South Africa. The Nigerian Constitution categorised the right to education under “fundamental objectives and directive principles” which are non-justiciable. In this sense, the thesis argues that the legal classification of the right to education, to a large extent, affects its realisation in Nigeria. It suggests that an important area where Nigeria could learn from South Africa is the issue of justiciability and constitutionalising the right to education as well as other socio-economic rights. In terms of implementation, the thesis submits that despite the international obligations and commitments to provide education for all, there is a significant gap between what is stipulated and the practical realities in the two countries. It argues that the right to education is more than a mere school attendance, how well a learner progresses in school is equally important. It posits that the high failure rates and the progressive slide in students' performances in schools xx examinations as shown in the study illustrate the poor quality and falling standard of education in the two countries. South Africa enjoys one of the highest rates of formal school enrolment of any developing country, yet the link between access and success is also weak in the South African schools just as in Nigerian schools. Inadequate planning, poor implementation of policies, lack of adequate resources and commitments are identified as the prime factors hampering the implementation of the right to education in both countries. Solving these problems and making the right to education realisable call for a renewed government commitments and investment of appropriate human and financial resources on education. This also requires a strong political will as well as concerted efforts of all the various actors in the educational sector in the two countries.

The Effects of Positive Behavioral Supports in Schools since the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997 based on 2001 SLIIDEA DataMiller, Cindy 08 1900 (has links)
Congress in 1997 recognized that there were some issues and concerns that had emerged surrounding the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and sought to address these issues and concerns by mandating a national evaluation on the implementation and progress toward improving outcomes for students with disabilities. The Study of the State and Local Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was designed to address how the amendments of IDEA were being implemented by states, school districts, and schools. This mixed methods study examined the first year of data collected from the six-year Study of the State and Local Implementation of IDEA (SLIIDEA) and analyzing 20 case studies that used interviews of special education personnel and principals, conducted at the local school level. Data from the national survey were examined in light of findings from the case studies. The case studies brought out the varying opinions on implementation success at the local level. Further case studies for each year of the study would be helpful in determining the level of implementation locally and the significant insights of local school personnel on whether these initiatives have worked.

Opvoedersekuriteit en ernstige wangedrag van leerders: 'n arbeidsregtelike perspektiefBartlette, Nellie Monica January 2013 (has links)
The lack of respect for authority and discipline of teachers on the part of the learners is a factor contributing to low morale and sense of neglected status to teachers. These factors prevent true realisation of the idealism with which educators initially entered the profession, as they are faced with the realities in schools. The need for security and geborgenheit lay the foundation for security in the workplace of educators. The need for physical safety is described in this dissertation on the basis of contextual and theoretical frameworks, to a better understanding of teachers' insecurities. The need to experience geborgenheit appeals to the discipline of Education Law, which focuses inter alia on psychological security through an analysis of legal sources. It contributes to achieve the overall objective of this study, namely to determine the perceptions of educators regarding the impact of student misconduct on their security. Several factors, namely school-related factors, labour law factors as well as society related factors that learners come into contact with every day, contributes to misconduct by some learners. It therefore compels all stakeholders in education to become involved in the education of the students and not to perceive education as a "one-man job". From an employment perspective, the promotion of a safe environment, where learners and educators experience geborgenheit, a prerequisite for their physical and psychological security. This will contribute to the holistic performance of the educational task by the teacher for the benefit of the learners. / MEd (Education Law), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013

The Law Comes to Campus: The Evolution and Current Role of the Office of the General Counsel on College and University CampusesBlock, Jason A 01 January 2014 (has links)
Much has been written in the literature of higher education on the history and current role of presidents, provosts, and deans. However, higher education scholars have, for the most part ignored the role of institutional in-house attorneys on college and university campuses. Those who have written on the subject of institutional counsel have proffered the idea that in-house general counsel offices were established as a result of the increased regulation of higher education by state and federal governments, and litigation resulting from the faculty and student rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s. This project seeks to provide a detailed justification for the rationale for the proliferation of counsel offices, and to provide a base-line qualitative, interview-based approach to the current role of college and university attorneys.
Using a historical, document based approach this dissertation provides a comprehensive exploration of the argument that the establishment and growth of offices of the general counsel on college and university campuses was rooted in litigation. This dissertation further builds on the notion that as colleges and universities became larger and more complex, federal and state governments increased regulatory and reporting demands and accountability on institutions.
A second issue that this dissertation covers is the way in which modern day institutional counsel view their roles within a college or university. Using Oral History Methodology, three attorneys were interviewed about their perceptions of their roles. Based on those interviews, this dissertation proffers the idea that an institutional counsel’s view of his or her role is linked to the nature of the individual campus and its leadership, and the structure of the office in which the attorney works. This dissertation also puts the role of the institutional counsel into the context of institutional actors by comparing it with the role of the academic dean.
In addition to showing that the role of the institutional counsel is institution dependent, the results of this project indicate that the role of the institutional general counsel is an area ripe for additional study.

Para isto, levanta, seleciona e analisa os documentos legais do período determinado e os contextualiza mediante a análise dos períodos históricos a que se referem. Parte-se do pressuposto que o tema da avaliação reveste-se de grande importância principalmente a partir de meados da década de 1990 e merece ser contemplado dos pontos de vista legal e histórico, por serem escassos os estudos em legislação da educação e que contemplam a trajetória da concepção da temática em evidência. O estudo da legislação foi realizado a partir de recortes históricos: no primeiro período (1961-1968) foram encontradas 53 normas e analisadas 25; entre os anos de 1969-1988, que se constituíram como o segundo período, foram encontrados 28 documentos legais e analisados 12 e, no último período, dos anos 1989- 2007, foram levantados 268 normas, sendo descritas e analisadas 37 delas. O texto evidencia, entre outros aspectos, que o modelo de avaliação da Educação Superior brasileira passou de um modelo quantitativista e objetivista à tentativa de um modelo emancipatório, com a finalidade de atingir uma melhor qualidade e de aproximar-se da avaliação formativa defendida pelos intelectuais. Entretanto, não é definido com clareza que tipo de Educação Superior deriva da implantação e legitimação desses processos de avaliação, ao contrário dos processos de avaliação da Educação Superior presentes no período de 1961 a 1968, que foram claramente definidos como meta de impedir a criação de cursos ou aumento de vagas em cursos cujo mercado de profissionais da área já tivesse satisfeito / The research aimed to analyze the trajectory of the evaluation design of higher education in the constitutions and other standards from 1961 to 2007. For this, raises, selects and reviews the legal documents of the period specified and contextualizes them by analysis of historical periods to which they relate. It starts from the assumption that the subject of evaluation is of great importance, especially since the mid-1990s and deserves to be recognized in the views of legal history and, being few studies in education law and to address the trajectory design of the theme in evidence. The study of law was made from historical analysis: the first period (1961-1968) were found and analyzed 53 rules 25, between the years 1969-1988, which have established themselves as the second period, there were 28 legal documents and analyzed 12 and in the last period, the years 1989 to 2007, 268 standards were raised, were described and analyzed 37 of them. It stresses, among other things, that the assessment model of higher education rose from a Brazilian model and objectivist quantitativist to attempt an emancipatory model, in order to achieve better quality and closer to the formative assessment advocated by intellectuals . However, it is not clearly defined what type of higher education derives from the legitimacy and implementation of assessment procedures, in contrast to the assessment of higher education in the present period from 1961 to 1968, which were clearly defined goal of preventing the development of courses or increase in places in courses which market professionals had already satisfied

Empowering representative councils of learners through policy-makingMaas-Olsen, Marcelle Isabel January 2006 (has links)
Thesis (MTech (Public Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2006. / The right of learners to participate in decision-making as stakeholders in their own education was a significant area of controversy between learners and education authorities prior to 1994. At the end of the apartheid regime in 1994 the foundation was laid for a South Africa based on democratic values, social justice and fundamental human rights as provided for in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 (Act 108 of 1996), hereinafter referred to as the Constitution RSA. To give effect to these constitutional rights and to entrench the democratic values in society, a new system of education and training which required the phasing-in of new education legislation had to be created. The National Education Policy Act, 1996 (Act 27 of 1996) [NEPAl was the first comprehensive new act promulgated by the government after 1994. This act mainly provides for the promulgation of education policy by the Minister of Education. The South African Schools Act, 1996 (Act 84 of 1996) [SASAj, as amended, provides a national system of school education that advances democracy, the development of all leamers and the protection of rights, as well as promoting acceptance of responsibility by learners, parents and educators for the organisation of the school, its governance and its funding. The SASA has entrenched the rights of learners to participate as stakeholders in education by affording them representation in school governing bodies which have the status of being the only legitimate bodies representing parents and learners in public schools.
