A Case Study To Identify How Shared Decision Making and Collaboration between General and Exceptional Education Teachers Impact Effective and Ineffective Inclusion Practices

Strong, Faith Renee 10 August 2018 (has links)
Sergiovanni (1994) believed that the rationale for shared decision making is that those who are closest to students are best equipped to make educational decisions to improve instructional programs. Liontos (1994) believed that change is most likely to be effective and lasting when those who implement it feel a sense of ownership and responsibility for the process. Building level administrators along with general and exceptional education teachers play a vital role in making educational practices a reality in schools (Kilgore, 2011). The administrator must have adequate knowledge of what the practices entail and how to mobilize staff so these educational practices are implemented effectively. In order to embrace the philosophy of inclusion, teachers must eliminate the focus on labels of students and make students with disabilities and support needs the determining factors in the provision of services and placement settings. This requires the school staff to shift paradigms when determining how best to meet the needs of students with disabilities. The overall purpose of this study was to determine whether or not general and exceptional education teachers working together had an impact on the inclusion process. These two groups of teachers collaborated to address challenges that students meet in the general educational setting. Their goal was to provide the best possible learning experience for students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment. While this study only took into account the challenges and successes of one school, in one school district, it is a glimpse of what other teachers, general and exceptional education are facing in inclusive settings. Results of the study showed that collaboration between general and exceptional education teachers clearly resulted in greater teacher efficacy. These teachers believed that they could make a positive difference. Teachers who exhibited this confidence were more likely to engage in collaboration. Some of the general education teachers who had the strongest desire for collaboration and worked closely with an exceptional education teacher exhibited a number of positive traits that led to more effective inclusion instruction. With this in mind, it is important for educational leaders to do all that they can to provide professional training and development to offer ideas and instances of collaboration to help the students with disabilities and teachers involved in educating them.

MANAGING INEFFECTIVE SECONDARY SCHOOLS AT LEJWELEPUTSWA DISTRICT IN THE FREE STATE PROVINCE

Seeli, F.D., Rambuda, A.M. January 2014 (has links)
Published Article / This study reports the findings of the masters studies on management styles that are adopted in effective secondary schools and examined how the effect of participative management styles could positively change the status of ineffective secondary schools. Two hundred educators and five school principals were sampled for the study. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data for the study. The respondents argued that their school principals adopted democratic, transformational, situational, and behavioural styles of management. They further believed that the adoption of participative management styles would positively change the status of ineffective secondary schools. They argued that by adopting democratic, transformational, situational and behavioural styles of management will encourage educators to: i) develop effective teaching and learning in their classrooms as they will be highly motivated; ii) adopt participative teaching methods that encourage learners to take part in classroom activities with confidence; and, iii) adopt team teaching which contributes to better performance in the classroom.

Child health status as a correlate of child behavioural outcomes : the mediating effect of parenting style

Hochbaum, Christine Valerie 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this investigation is to test the mediational effect of parenting style on the association between child health status and child behavioural outcomes in children. Using cross-sectional data of children 4 and 5 years old from National Longitudinal Survey of Children and Youth (NLSCY) Cycle 4 2000-2001 the paper explores the degree to which child health status is related to child behavioural outcomes. In addition, the present study investigates the extent to which child health status is linked to parenting style. Another aim of this study is to explore the association between parenting style and child behavioural outcomes. Child outcome measures assessed in this study include: hyperactivity-inattention, emotional-disorder anxiety, conduct disorder — physical aggression, and indirect aggression. Child health status is assessed using the Health Utility Index Mark 3. The Health Utility Index gives a description of an individual's overall functional health, founded on eight attributes that include: vision, hearing, speech, mobility, dexterity, cognition, emotion, pain and discomfort. Parenting style is measured using several parenting scales that consist of: positive interaction, hostile/ineffective parenting, consistent parenting, and rational (punitive/aversive) parenting. Statistical analysis was conducted using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) and logistic regression to test the conceptual model and the significance of relationships between the variables of interest. There was partial support for the mediational model of parenting style on the association between child health status and children behavioural outcomes. Specifically, both ineffective and rational parenting each showed a mediational effect. Child health status and child behavioural outcomes were found to have a strong relationship to each other. However, ineffective parenting was more strongly related to child behavoiural outcomes than child health status. This suggests that children that are exposed to ineffective parenting are at greater risk for developing behavioural difficulties than children receiving other forms of parenting. Moreover, children who receive this type of parenting and have poorer health are at even greater risk for developing these behavioural problems. However, these conclusions are tentative as the directionality of these relationships is uncertain because of the cross-section design of this study.

Rôle de la chaperonne HSP 70 dans l'éythropoïèse inefficace des béta-thalassémies majeures / Role of the chaperone Hsp70 in beta-thalassemia major (β-TM) ineffective erythropoiesis

Arlet, Jean-Benoît 01 July 2013 (has links)
L’érythropoïèse inefficace joue un rôle central dans la physiopathologie de l’anémie des β-TM. Ses caractéristiques sont triple: accélération de la différenciation érythroïde, arrêt de maturation au stade d’érythroblaste polychromatophile et mort par apoptose à ce stade de différenciation. Les mécanismes précis de cette apoptose et de l’arrêt de la maturation n’ont pas encore été élucidés. Il a été montré, au cours de l’érythropoïèse physiologique, que la protéine chaperonne Hsp70, en se localisant dans le noyau des érythroblastes en cours de différenciation, protège GATA-1 (facteur de transcription érythroïde majeur) de sa destruction par la caspase-3. Cette enzyme clé de l’apoptose est en effet activée physiologiquement au cours de la différenciation érythroïde et peut cliver GATA-1. Notre travail se base sur l’hypothèse suivante : Hsp70 pourrait, au cours de l’érythropoïèse des β-TM, être séquestrée dans le cytoplasme des érythroblastes matures (stade d’une intense hémoglobinisation) afin d’exercer son rôle de chaperonne des chaînes d’α-globine libres. Cela aurait comme conséquence néfaste l’absence de localisation nucléaire d’Hsp70 et, en conséquence, la destruction de GATA-1 à l’origine de l’arrêt de maturation et de la mort cellulaire. Nous avons montré dans ce travail qu’Hsp70 était localisée principalement dans le cytoplasme des érythroblastes matures dans la moelle de patients β-TM, avec un défaut d’expression nucléaire. Par ailleurs, GATA-1 n’est plus exprimé dans ces cellules. Nous avons confirmé ces résultats dans un système de culture cellulaire érythroïde humaine en milieu liquide reproduisant les étapes de la différenciation érythroïde terminale. Une intéraction physique directe entre Hsp70 et l’α-globine a été identifiée par techniques de microscopie confocale, d’immunoprécipitation et de double hybride. Enfin, la transduction dans les érythroblastes de β-TM d’un mutant d’Hsp70-S400A, principalement nucléaire, ou d’un mutant de GATA-1 non clivable par la caspase-3 corrige l’érythropoïèse inefficace.Une modélisation mathématique du complexe Hsp70/α-globine nous a permis de préciser les domaines impliqués dans l’intéraction, ce qui ouvre la voie à une possibilité de criblage de petites molécules permettant la rupture de ce complexe afin de ramener Hsp70 dans le noyau avec un espoir thérapeutique pour améliorer l’érythropoïèse inefficace des β-TM. / Β-TM is an inherited hemoglobinopathy caused by a quantitative defect in the synthesis of the β-globin chains of hemoglobin, leading to the accumulation of free α-globin chains that form toxic aggregates. Despite extensive knowledge on the molecular defects causing β-TM, little is known about the mechanisms responsible for ineffective erythropoiesis (IE), which is characterised by accelerated erythroid differentiation, maturation arrest and apoptosis at the polychromatophilic stage. We have previously demonstrated that normal human erythroid cell maturation requires a transient activation of caspase-3. Although GATA-1, the master transcriptional factor of erythropoiesis, is a caspase-3 target, we have shown that during human erythroid differentiation, it is protected from cleavage through its association with the chaperone Hsp70 in the nucleus. Hsp70 is constitutively highly expressed in normal human erythroid cells. The best-known role of this ubiquitous chaperone is to participate in proteins folding and refolding of proteins denatured by cytoplasmic stress, thus preventing their aggregation.In this study, we have evidenced that during the maturation of human β-TM erythroblasts, Hsp70 is sequestrated in the cytoplasm by the excess of free α-globin chains, resulting in nuclear GATA-1 cleavage and, in turn, end-stage maturation arrest and apoptosis. A molecular modeling shows that α-globin binds to a highly electronegative cavity formed by all Hsp70 domains. Additionally, the transduction of a nuclear-targeted Hsp70 mutant (Hsp70-S400A) or caspase-3 uncleavable GATA-1 mutant (µGATA-1) corrects β-TM ineffective erythropoiesis in human cultured β-TM cells. Our data indicate that cytosolic Hsp70 sequestration by α-globin chains prevents its nuclear localization and is a key mechanism of the β-TM IE. In order to increase nuclear Hsp70 translocation, developing small molecules that could increase Hsp70 expression or disrupt the Hsp70/α-globin complex could be a novel approach of targeted therapies to improve erythropoiesis in β-TM.

Improving Communication Between Cancer Patients and Providers During a 15-Minute Office Visit: A Systematic Review of the Literature

Manganelli, Dr. Tammy Elizabeth 01 January 2016 (has links)
Patients undergoing chemotherapy treatments for cancer often experience adverse side effects, including cognitive deficits. These deficits impact the patient's ability to communicate effectively with their oncology provider. Ineffective communication can adversely affect patient outcomes and decrease patient-provider satisfaction. The resulting poor communication can contribute to poor patient outcomes. This systematic literature review focused on assistive communication tools that could be used in an outpatient oncology setting to improve patient-provider communication. The literature review findings led to the development of a resource for providers that includes 15 communication tools that can be used to assess and improve communication in cancer care. Initially 4, 533 articles were identified using the search terms; cancer patient/providers, communication tools, chemo brain, and improving/ineffective communications. Articles were selected for inclusion that included communication tools, which assisted oncology providers in improving cancer care. Articles were excluded if they were not specific to cancer patients and did not contain communication tools. Analysis of the systematic review of the literature utilized Bandolier's hierarchy levels of evidence. The Health Promotion Model serves as the theoretical framework to guide the project. Oncology providers that utilized communication tools with patients found an 116% improvement in documentation of symptoms, adverse effects, and corresponding medical management compared to providers who did not use communication tools. Implementation of communication tools in outpatient oncology settings can result in a positive social change in the patient-provider relationship during cancer treatment.
