Sector Differences In Opportunities For Parental Involvement In The School Context, Gail M. Mulligan Dec 2003

Sector Differences In Opportunities For Parental Involvement In The School Context, Gail M. Mulligan

Journal of Catholic Education

Research has consistently related school effectiveness to parental involvement. Catholic schools in particular have tended to have high levels of parental involvement, more so than public schools. This study measured the opportunities for parental involvement present in private and public schools. While Catholic school parents tend to demonstrate higher levels of parental involvement than public school parents, public schools offer significantly more opportunities for parental involvement than Catholic schools.


Are American Schools Facing A Shortage Of Qualified Administrators?, Gregory Hine Dec 2003

Are American Schools Facing A Shortage Of Qualified Administrators?, Gregory Hine

Journal of Catholic Education

Anecdotal evidence abounds regarding the shortage of principals to lead schools. Sustained attention to the research on recruitment and retention of principals reveals a fascinating development: Ample numbers of teachers have completed administrative licensure requirements and hold the credentials necessary to assume a principalship; however, few wish to apply for the position.


Building Strategic Leadership And Management Capacity To Improve School Effectiveness, Kelvin Canavan Dec 2003

Building Strategic Leadership And Management Capacity To Improve School Effectiveness, Kelvin Canavan

Journal of Catholic Education

The building of leadership and management capacity with a focus on teaching and learning effectiveness has been a defining characteristic of the Catholic schools in Sydney, Australia, during the past decade. During the 1990s, the leaders of the 150 parish primary and regional secondary schools in the Archdiocese of Sydney adopted a common leadership and management framework that incorporates long-term strategic planning with an annual implementation cycle characterized by a sharp focus on teaching and learning outcomes. Principals and senior staff are involved in an ongoing performance management plan that is linked to the schools’ annual curriculum goals and targets. …

Which Is The Fairest One Of All? A Positive Analysis Of Justice Theories, James Konow Dec 2003

Which Is The Fairest One Of All? A Positive Analysis Of Justice Theories, James Konow

Economics Faculty Works

This paper evaluates numerous positive and normative theories of justice in positive terms, i.e., in terms of how accurately they describe the impartial fairness preferences of real people. In addition, the paper proposes and defends an integrated justice theory based on preferences over four distinct and sometimes conflicting forces. These forces frame the analysis of the individual theories and inspire four corresponding theoretical classes: equality and need, utilitarianism and welfare economics, equity and desert, and context. This synthesis enables one to treat justice rigorously and to reconcile results that often appear contradictory or at odds with alternative theories.

Uniform Approximation Of Continuous Functions On A Compact Riemann Surface By Elliptic Modular Forms, Michael Berg Dec 2003

Uniform Approximation Of Continuous Functions On A Compact Riemann Surface By Elliptic Modular Forms, Michael Berg

Mathematics Faculty Works

We show that the graded algebra of elliptic modular forms and their conjugates comprises a uniformly dense subspace of the space of all continuous functions on the compactification of the fundamental domain for the action of SL2(Z) on the complex upper half-plane by fractional linear transformations.


Catholic Higher Education And Latino(A) Students: Exploring The Experience Of University Undergraduates, Lisa M. Raphael, Michael Pressley, Jennifer Kane Dec 2003

Catholic Higher Education And Latino(A) Students: Exploring The Experience Of University Undergraduates, Lisa M. Raphael, Michael Pressley, Jennifer Kane

Journal of Catholic Education

The experience of Latino(a) undergraduates at Notre Dame was the focus of this study. In general, the students had a positive experience at the university, but one that included challenges, including physical separation from family and familiar community. Family and spiritual supports were important to the Latino(a) students as they coped with difficulties they encountered at the university, than for a comparable sample of Anglo students attending Notre Dame.

Validation And Use Of The Catholic School Graduate Characteristics Inventory, Jeffrey P. Dorman Dec 2003

Validation And Use Of The Catholic School Graduate Characteristics Inventory, Jeffrey P. Dorman

Journal of Catholic Education

Scales and subscales to assess the desirable characteristics of Catholic school graduates were developed and validated using a sample of 557 alumni of Australian Catholic high schools. Exploratory factory analysis supported a 4 scale structure (viz., Religious Faith & Spiritual Development, Personal Integration, Social Responsibility, and Life-long Learning Skills). The utility of this instrument, the Catholic School Graduate Characteristics Inventory (CSGCI), is enhanced by the optional subdividing of each scale into 3 internally consistent subscales. The use of the CSGCI revealed statistically significant differences in the characteristics of Catholic school graduates according to gender and year of graduation. These results …


The Sacred And The Secular: Aligning A Marianist Mission With Professional Standards Of Practice In An Educational Leadership Doctorial Program, Darla J. Twale, Carolyn S. Ridenour Dec 2003

The Sacred And The Secular: Aligning A Marianist Mission With Professional Standards Of Practice In An Educational Leadership Doctorial Program, Darla J. Twale, Carolyn S. Ridenour

Journal of Catholic Education

This inquiry was conducted to explore how the characteristics of our university’s religious mission are interwoven into our educational leadership doctoral program and are manifest in the structure and learning experiences that our students encounter. We examined how these characteristics might correspond to or relate to the Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium (ISLLC) standards that resulted from national reform initiatives in educational leadership in the mid 1990s. We concluded that the foundations of the PhD program are built solidly on the distinctive characteristics and identity of our founders and are aligned with these professional standards as well. Implications for universities …


Sector Differences In Student Learning: Differences In Achievement Gains Across School Years And During The Summer, William Carbonaro Dec 2003

Sector Differences In Student Learning: Differences In Achievement Gains Across School Years And During The Summer, William Carbonaro

Journal of Catholic Education

Public and private schools have been the focus of considerable research, comparing student achievement, attendance, dropout rates, graduation rates, disciplinary incidents, and a variety of educational and prosocial outcomes across sectors. Comparative studies of student achievement have tended to concentrate on the high school years and without any effort to measure gains or losses during specific years. This study concludes that sector differences in learning vary across grade levels and that summer learning rates vary by school sector. More study of sector differences in learning is recommended, especially longitudinal studies that examine seasonal gains across school sector over the entire …

Toy Models For The Falling Chimney, Gabriele U. Varieschi, Kaoru Kamiya Oct 2003

Toy Models For The Falling Chimney, Gabriele U. Varieschi, Kaoru Kamiya

Physics Faculty Works

In this paper we review the theory of the ‘‘falling chimney,’’ which deals with the breaking in mid-air of tall structures when they fall to the ground. We show that these ruptures can be caused by either shear forces typically developing near the base, or by the bending of the structure which is caused primarily by the internal bending moment. In the latter case the breaking is more likely to occur between one-third and one-half of the height of the chimney. Small scale toy models are used to reproduce the dynamics of the falling chimney. By examining photos taken during …

Extensive Regional Atmospheric Hydrocarbon Pollution In The Southwestern United States, Lambert A. Doezema Oct 2003

Extensive Regional Atmospheric Hydrocarbon Pollution In The Southwestern United States, Lambert A. Doezema

Chemistry and Biochemistry Faculty Works

Light alkane hydrocarbons are present in major quantities in the near-surface atmosphere of Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas during both autumn and spring seasons. In spring 2002, maximum mixing ratios of ethane [34 parts per 109 by volume (ppbv)], propane (20 ppbv), and n-butane (13 ppbv) were observed in north-central Texas. The elevated alkane mixing ratios are attributed to emissions from the oil and natural gas industry. Measured alkyl nitrate mixing ratios were comparable to urban smog values, indicating active photochemistry in the presence of nitrogen oxides, and therefore with abundant formation of tropospheric ozone. We estimate that 4-6 teragrams of …
