Structural indicators for inclusive systems in and around schools. Analytical Report

Downes, Paul, Nairz-Wirth, Erna, Rusinaite, Viktorija January 2017 (has links) (PDF)
International evidence indicates that school systems need to change in order to tackle early school leaving and improve social inclusion in education and society. Policy-makers and school actors require practical tools to assist them in this process, made all the more urgent by the EU2020 headline target to reduce early school leaving. This report develops such practical tools; it is designed to inform strategic policy and practice by offering an innovative framework of structural indicators for early school leaving prevention and inclusion in school. It draws upon key European Council and Commission policy documents on early school leaving prevention, and also on the Paris Declaration 2015 on promoting common values of freedom, tolerance and non-discrimination through education, which includes a focus on social marginalization.

A Problematic Yet Necessary Effort| White Women in Student Affairs and Anti-Racist Allyship

Lachman, Macey W. 26 April 2018 (has links)
<p> As overt acts of racism are becoming increasingly visible and publicized on college campuses, institutions may be tasked with addressing issues around hate speech or racist marches. Meanwhile, white supremacy covertly impacts institutions through biased policies and practices. In this context, student affairs professionals can either perpetuate or combat racism. This study examined how 10 white women working as mid-level student affairs professionals in highly diverse institutions in Southern California made meaning and engaged in anti-racist allyship. The findings were organized along four themes: perceptions of campus climate at diverse institutions, developing white racial consciousness, efforts toward anti-racist allyship, and complexities of white allyship. Participants noticed the impact of historical and geographical contexts, and they identified aspects of climate specific to their institutions. They described the process of developing racial consciousness in a cyclical way, and they understood anti-racist allyship as advocacy. The complexities of white allyship included role confusion, difficulty identifying racism, white privilege, and the consequences of allyship. Emerging from this theme, a conceptual model of white anti-racist identity development is proposed. Recommendations for policy and practice include revision of the ACPA and NASPA (2015) social justice and inclusion competency, increased professional development opportunities around racial justice, and the inclusion of research on racial identity development and disrupting white supremacy in graduate degree programs. Recommendations for future research are also provided.</p><p>

What Are the Experiences of Students of Color Involved in the 'A Better Chance Program' in Relation to College Guidance?

Gallagher, Edward J., III 16 February 2018 (has links)
<p> Research consistently indicates that less affluent students across the country are often deprived of the necessary academic preparation and college guidance needed to successfully select, attend, and graduate from a postsecondary institution (Louie, 2017). Independent schools across America have historically served affluent, White students; however, many independent schools now strive to attract more diverse student populations. One such subgroup in independent school&rsquo;s communities are students of color. Students of color who enter a traditionally White independent school often find unexpected struggles while acclimating to the independent school environment (Ohikuare, 2013) including developing social capital (Putnam, 2017) and establishing meaningful relationships with students and staff members at these schools. Weiss (2014) refers to these students as being as &ldquo;doubly disadvantaged&rdquo;; students of color fortunate to gain acceptance to elite private schools who can still find themselves at the bottom of the opportunity structure without the proper support and guidance. This qualitative study will explore the experiences and perceptions of students who are involved with the A Better Chance (ABC) Program during their college preparation process at a select independent boarding and day schools in the Mid-Atlantic region. Methods of data collection included detailed interviews with sixteen students across fourteen schools from the Mid-Atlantic region currently involved with the A Better Chance program. The study will also compare and contrast the information regarding participant's high school-to-college (HStoC) guidance process versus the high school to college guidance provided by A Better Chance.</p><p>

The Relationship between Financial Aid Advising and Community College Student Engagement

Silver Canady, Tisa 27 February 2018 (has links)
<p> The rising cost of higher education has positioned federal financial aid as an inescapable part of the college experience for a growing number of incoming students (Baum, 2006). In the 2014&ndash;2015 academic year, the U.S. Department of Education allocated more than $150 billion of federal financial aid for eligible college students (Federal Student Aid, 2014). Although billions of dollars in federal student aid have been made available, finances or lack thereof, remain an oft-cited barrier to student success (Long &amp; Riley, 2007; Myers, 2008). Community college student support services such as financial aid advising, contribute to promoting successful student outcomes (Cooper, 2010). More research is needed regarding the role of the campus financial aid adviser as it relates to community college student outcomes (McKinney &amp; Roberts, 2012). </p><p> The purpose of this study was to use the theory of student engagement as defined by Kuh et al. (2006) as it relates financial aid advising to the engagement of community college students. Ex post facto data from the Community College Survey of Student Engagement (CCSSE) 2014 Cohort was used to investigate whether a difference in student engagement existed between students who reported use of financial aid advising and those who did not. The researcher also examined the relationship between the frequency of use, satisfaction with, and importance of financial aid advising and student engagement as well as the five CCSSE benchmarks of effective practice. </p><p> The results of the study show students who indicated use of financial aid advising reported significantly higher levels of student engagement than those who did not. The researcher found weak to moderate positive relationships between the frequency of use, satisfaction with, and importance of financial aid advising and student engagement. Additionally, each of the financial aid advising variables served as predictors of at least one CCSSE benchmark and student engagement. These findings provide meaningful information regarding the relationship between financial aid advising, particularly student satisfaction with the advising, and student engagement.</p><p>

The managerial leadership styles of school principals for school effectiveness: a study of six Secondary schools of the Dutywa Education District

Ziduli, Mlungiseleli January 2016 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to investigate the managerial leadership styles of school principals for school effectiveness at secondary schools of the Dutywa Education District in the Eastern Cape Province of the Republic of South. The literature review reflects theories concerning the managerial leadership styles of school principals for school effectiveness. In order to attain the aims and objectives of the study, the researcher used the qualitative research method, both in collecting and analyzing the data. The case study design was used to describe and access the phenomenon and the purposive sampling method was used to select (6) secondary school principals. An open ended interview schedule was used for the face-to-face in-depth interviews on the managerial leadership styles of school principals for school effectiveness at secondary schools of the Dutywa Education District. Themes were drawn from the responses of the participants and analysed. Some of the findings were: Democratic and participatory leadership styles were used by the school principals to achieve maximum co-operation from both experienced and beginning teachers and the learners in the schools. Laissez fair and autocratic styles of leadership appeared to be undesirable for the management of schools. For school principals’ effective management, they need to do proper planning, organising and scheduling of activities, assigning duties to teachers and delegating some of their work to competent teachers. The reasons for school principals’ ineffectiveness in this study were: favouritism, over-familiar relationships with some teachers, ignoring teachers’ personal problems, workload, lack of support and co-operation from teachers. Incorrect interpretation of educational policies were seen to lead to chaotic situations, poor performance of both teachers and learners, division between learners and teachers, a lack of unity between school stake-holders, poor job satisfaction and lack of trust and respect for the principals concerned. Factors contributing to principals’ incorrect interpretation of educational policies and execution of management roles were: negligence, lack of knowledge and ability to interpret educational policies, lack of proper induction programmes and training of principals and lack of support on policy matters from the Department of Education. Contributing factors resulting in barriers to principals’ ineffectiveness in the management of schools were: failure to give proper instructions to teachers and learners, failure to effectively use of available funds in the school, failure to implement all educational programmes in the school including co-curricular and extra mural activities, lack of experience, lack of support from both the Department of Education and the parents, lack of resources, high staff turnover, favourtisms and failure to hold teachers accountable for poor work done. Mechanisms deemed to overcome the factors leading to barriers to principals’ execution of their management roles at schools were: making the effort to be knowledgeable about educational policies, timely responses to problems in the school, regular consultation with stakeholders, employment of SGB teachers, taking direct supervision of instructions in classrooms and endeavoring to have good relations and gaining support from the SGB and the parents. The researcher made some recommendations on the managerial leadership styles of school principals for school effectiveness at secondary schools of the Dutywa Education District.

Esta manifestação da cultura corporal é de grande relevância, pois é utilizada em eventos que marcam o início ou o término de períodos (eventos esportivos, festas regionais, fim de ano letivo e festivais de um modo geral) e possuem o valor de aumentar a coesão dos grupos sociais; portanto, é muito importante para a nossa área. Atualmente é pouco utilizada no Brasil dentro do âmbito escolar e comunitário. A falta de conhecimento sobre a elaboração e organização destas atividades tem levado a maioria das escolas e prefeituras a terceirizá-las; no entanto, consideramos que seja o professor de Educação Física o profissional responsável pela organização deste tipo de evento, dentro destes espaços de atuação profissional, dado que acreditamos que ele é o especialista em motricidade humana. O objetivo deste trabalho é resgatar e implementar esta manifestação da cultura corporal, oferecendo subsídios para a elaboração de trabalhos desta natureza, contribuindo para a formação e atuação profissional do professor de Educação Física no âmbito escolar e comunitário. A metodologia a ser utilizada neste trabalho incluiu: análises documentais, arquivos fotográficos, análises de vídeos de entrevistas com professores de Educação Física que tenham participado na elaboração deste tipo de evento. Através da observação participante, foi mostrado um processo de elaboração de um trabalho de Ginástica de Grande Área, realizado no Colégio Coração de Jesus, da cidade de Campinas ¿ SP, devidamente registrado, analisado e discutido. Propomos métodos para a elaboração da G. G. Área, passamos ¿ferramentas¿ que estimulam os profissionais da área a terem a ousadia de imaginar e criar.. / Abstract: A Large Group Performance is a kind of PERFORMANCE gymnastic, carried out in large areas, using small and big gears and involving a large number of people in it. this expression of body culture has a great importance, because it has been used in events tHat points the beginning and the end of sport event terms, local parties and of school semesters and festivals, anyway, it has the power of expanding social groups union, therefore it is very important for the Physical Education area. Nowadays it has been less used in Brazil in school and social scopes. The lack of knowledge about the history the construction and the organization of these activities have taken the majority of schools and municipal sections in hiring other professionals, not from the Physical Education area, however the Physical Education teacher is considered the professional who's able to organize this kind of event due his ability in the Gymnastics Area. Getting this expression of body culture focused has been the purpose of this work, through the professional point of view that holds the theory of knowledge, we can find the basis of the Large Group Performance tested and reflected on a practical experience. We set out to offer subsidies to draw works from this nature up, contributing on the degrees and performance of the Physical Education teacher in school and social scopes. The methodology put into this thesis included: document analysis, analysis from performances and interview with Physical Education teachers who got into this kind of event, through practical observation a draw up process shown from a Large Group Performance work, carried on in Coração de Jesus High school in Campinas/SP, 2002 which was completely recorded, analyzed and discussed through the practical observation technique / Mestrado / Pedagogia do Movimento / Mestre em Educação Física

What is instructional leadership and what does it look like in practice? A multi-case case study of elementary school principals who have led schools from being identified as under performing to performing

Carrier, Linda L 01 January 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze principal behaviors and leadership characteristics that positively influence the organizational coherence and capacity of schools and subsequently, positively influence student achievement. This was achieved through the use of an in-depth, exploratory multi-case study design that examined the leadership of two principals of urban elementary schools who had led their schools from being underperforming to performing. The two findings of this study are that 1) instructional leaders engage in work that either directly or indirectly: focuses on learning for students and adults; communicates high expectations for student achievement and instruction; uses data to inform the work of the school, and develops a community that is unified around one vision and one mission for the school; and 2) the actions of principals that demonstrate the leadership traits of being carried by strong professional will and being personally humble and modest influence the level of effectiveness of the work of the principal in positively influencing student achievement. The findings of this study were the result of analysis of data that was gathered through a review of relevant documents, interviews with principals and teachers, and the identification and observation of artifacts that were identified through the interview as being the most important to improving student achievement. Based on these findings, the following conclusions were made: the construct of instructional leadership is defined by two elements—the work of the principal and the leadership of the principal. The principal's influence in each of the elements of the work of the principal may be direct or indirect. The leadership traits of principals who are instructional leaders are defined as carried by strong professional will and being personally humble and modest. These leadership traits are not necessarily balanced—one may be stronger than the other—but they are necessary for the development of shared ownership of outcomes on the part of teachers. The findings of this study provide clarity. Instructional leadership is not a one size fits all idea whose existence is linked to a single measure of student achievement but is instead a framework to be implemented and defined in practice by individual principals based upon their personal strengths and the needs of their schools.

Planning a functional program in science and healthful living for grades seven and eight

Unknown Date (has links)
"Science and healthful living go hand in hand. Science has furnished us the knowledge to improve our health and is adding to this knowledge daily. Countless numbers of men and women have spent and are spending their entire lives in furthering this knowledge. That scientific knowledge alone has not cured all of our ills is easily established. There is a shortage of hospital beds, doctors and nurses are overworked, and still many people for one reason or another are suffering from a lack of medical treatment. Of course, there are many ills which do not respond to the treatments known today, but many more could be prevented by applying the knowledge we have. In a large measure, it is the responsibility of the school to bring this knowledge to growing boys and girls, as well as adults, and to help them to apply it in their daily lives. We cannot evade this responsibility nor can we cease to look for better ways and means of doing it. There is a challenge here for all school people--a challenge which must be met"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1950." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts under Plan II." / Advisor: Mode L.
