An Analysis of the Variables in Implementation of the Marzano Causal Teacher Evaluation System in the State of FloridaPhillips, Matthew 01 January 2014 (has links)
This was a non-experimental, mixed methods study to research the different ways in which the Marzano casual teacher evaluation system was implemented in 25 school districts in the state of Florida during the 2012-2013 school year. Based on seven implementation variables, the teacher evaluation systems were compared to the implementation model and research-based best practice. The researcher then sought to determine what relationships may or may not exist in teacher performance ratings between districts that followed the research-based implementation model and districts that did not. Two stated purposes of the Marzano causal teacher evaluation system were to improve the accuracy of teacher performance ratings and to improve the accuracy of feedback provided to teachers. Variation in implementation may possibly occur among school districts. To date no research has been conducted to analyze how variations in implementation may relate to teacher performance ratings. The purpose of this study was to provide data to support best-practice in the implementation of the Marzano causal teacher evaluation system and to guide instructional leaders on the implementation of this evaluation system. The researcher also sought to ensure the Marzano causal teacher evaluation system provides both accurate teacher feedback and accurate teacher evaluations. Data was collected from the Florida Department of Education published reports and information. School district implementation plans were gathered from state submitted documentation. Implementation plans were analyzed and read. Data was collected on a data collection sheet and then analyzed in SPSS using a crosstab Chi square test to determine if a statistically significant relationships existed between districts that followed the research-based implementation model and districts that did not. It was determined that implementation of the Marzano causal evaluation system varies widely. In six out of the seven implementation variables, it was determined that there were statistically significant relationships in teacher evaluation scores between districts that followed the research-based implementation variables and districts that did not. Further research should include validity and reliability studies on the Marzano causal evaluation system. Research should continue to analyze different ways in which the Marzano causal evaluation system is implemented, and what relationship there is between implementation and teacher performance ratings. Research should be conducted to analyze the effectiveness of feedback provided to teachers through the Marzano causal teacher evaluation system. This research indicates that the Marzano causal teacher evaluation system should be used following research based best-practice and how it is intended to be used. The research in this study shows that when implementation variables are altered in the Marzano causal teacher evaluation system, teacher performance ratings may become inaccurate. Based on misunderstandings of the Marzano causal evaluation system, it is recommended school leaders receive additional training on the understanding and implementation of the Marzano casual teacher evaluation system.

Gedenke des ganzen Weges, den dich der Herr, dein Gott, geführt hat (Dtn 8,2) : eine praktisch-theologische Studie zur Bedeutung von Biografiearbeit für die pastorale Begleitung von Menschen in der nachberuflichen Lebensphase / You shall remember all the way which the Lord your God has led you (Dtn 8,2) : a practical theological study of the significance of biography work for pastoral care with persons in the post employment phase of lifeSchulz, Ursula (Theologian) 11 1900 (has links)
Text in German, summaries in English and German / Alter und Altern gilt in Deutschland derzeit als eines der wichtigsten Zukunftsfelder
wissenschaftlicher Forschung. Dabei liegt ein besonderes Augenmerk auf der
nachberuflichen Lebensphase, dem so genannten dritten Lebensalter. Eine
Gesellschaft des um 20-30 Jahre verlängerten Lebens bei meist guter Gesundheit ist
kulturgeschichtlich ein neues Phänomen für das es keine Vorbilder gibt, so dass der
jetzigen Generation der „jungen Alten“ eine gestalterische Aufgabe für sich und die
Nachfolgegenerationen zukommt.
Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit dem Thema Altern zunächst aus humanistischer und
daran anschließend aus biblisch-theologischer Sicht. Diese beiden Kapitel enthalten
grundlegende Aussagen zum Thema Altern aus unterschiedlichen Disziplinen und
beziehen diese, wo möglich, aufeinander. Sie bilden die Grundlage und
Voraussetzung für das Folgekapitel, in dem Bedeutung, Möglichkeiten und Grenzen
von Biografiearbeit als praktisch-theologisches Bildungsangebot in der pastoralen
Begleitung von Menschen in der nachberuflichen Lebensphase untersucht werden.
Dabei wird offensichtlich, dass sowohl gerontologische Literatur als auch biblische
Texte Biografiearbeit an einschneidenden Wendepunkten des Lebens als eine
wichtige Voraussetzung für gelingendes Leben darstellen. Der Person und der
Professionalität der Anleiterin kommen in dem Prozess biografischer Selbstreflexion
mit älteren Menschen eine tragende Rolle zu. / Old age and the process of aging is currently one of the most important fields for
future scientific study and research. Special focus is centered on the post-career
phase. A society where life is prolonged for an extra 20 to 30 years, most of which
are spent in reasonably good health, is culturally speaking a recent phenomenon for
which there are no historical models. It follows, that the current generation bears a
great responsibility in shaping and moulding this stage in their lives not only for
themselves but also for future generations.
This dissertation concentrates on the theme of aging, first from a humanistic point of
view, and secondly by focusing on biblical and theological aspects. Both of these
chapters contain fundamental and important statements regarding the subject of
aging as seen from different disciplines, and, wherever possible, with reference to
each other. They build the basis and prerequisite for the following chapter in which
the significance and possibilities as well as the limits of biography work is researched
in view of pastoral care and training for elderly people in the post employment phase
of their life.
It becomes obvious, that not only gerontological literature but also biblical texts depict
biographical work as an important prerequisite for a life experienced as being
successful, especially at drastic turning points in life. A vital part in biographical
reflection with elderly people is played by the person and professionalism of the
instructor. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Practical Theology)
