Stories Of Principals’ Roles As A Result Of High Stakes Teacher Evaluations In Louisiana, 2015 University of New Orleans
Stories Of Principals’ Roles As A Result Of High Stakes Teacher Evaluations In Louisiana, Jenna L. Galjour Chiasson
University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations
In 2010, the Louisiana legislature passed Act 54, a law that requires public school teachers to undergo a performance-based accountability evaluation. COMPASS (Clear, Overall Measure of Performance to Analyze and Support Success) asks principals to evaluate teachers using a rubric with components of Charlotte Danielson’s Framework for Teaching to evaluate teacher effectiveness (Act 54). Act 1, passed in 2012, ties Louisiana public school teacher’s pay and tenure to their score on COMPASS. Principals of Louisiana are now asked to evaluate teachers in a high stakes evaluation that is linked to teacher tenure and pay.

What does the term Revolution mean? To some it can simply mean change. To others, it can mean drastic change, and still to others, revolution is no more than a descriptor for something else. In this context, I believe revolution refers to a time of significant change.1 …
Reflection Of A Point About A Line & A Plane In 2-D & 3-D Co-Ordinate Systems, 2015 M.M.M. University of Technology, Gorakhpur-273010 (UP) India
Reflection Of A Point About A Line & A Plane In 2-D & 3-D Co-Ordinate Systems, Harish Chandra Rajpoot Rajpoot Hcr
Harish Chandra Rajpoot H.C. Rajpoot
All the articles are related to the reflection of any point about a line in 2-D co-ordinate system and about a line & a plane in 3-D co-ordinate system. Point of reflection about a line or a plane can be easily determined simply by applying the procedures explained or by using formula derived here. These formulas are also useful to determine the foot of perpendicular drawn from a point to a line or a plane in 3-D space. All these derivations are based on the application of simple geometry.

Exploring Graduate Student Parent Experiences: How To Better Support And Reduce Attrition In An Underserved Population, Christine R. Leaman
Masters Theses, 2010-2019
Changes in the global economy, employer expectations, and cultural norms are causing a shift in the demographics of post-baccalaureate students. Out of necessity to support oneself in an increasingly demanding job market, female graduate student enrollment has been on the rise for a number of years. This, in combination with a general increase in the number of individuals enrolling in graduate degree programs while trying to balance the responsibility of raising children presents a growing problem for institutions of higher education. Graduate student parents are a population that requires additional and varying support services than those of the traditional graduate …
Improving Student Learning In Higher Education: A Mixed Methods Study, 2015 James Madison University
Improving Student Learning In Higher Education: A Mixed Methods Study, Megan R. Good
Dissertations, 2014-2019
To improve quality, higher education must be able to demonstrate learning improvement. To do so, academic degree program leaders must assess learning, intervene, and then re-assess to determine if the intervention was indeed an improvement (Fulcher, Good, Coleman, and Smith, 2014). This seemingly “simple model” is rarely enacted in higher education (Blaich & Wise, 2011). The purpose of this embedded mixed methods study was to investigate the effectiveness and experience of a faculty development program focused on a specific programmatic learning outcome. Specifically, the intervention was intended to increase students’ ethical reasoning skills aligned with a university-wide program. The results …
