Teacher Training And Certification: A Comparative Analysis Between State And National Licensure Procedures And The Impending Effects Of The Proposed National Certificate, Paulus R. West
Student Work
Today, public confidence in our educational system has eroded to a very low level. Many people do not believe that education in America serves its purpose. Some believe American education leaves vast room for improvement. Like any other service-orientated entity, schools are constantly battling dilemmas like budget-cutting, scandals of mismanagement, and tales of political cronyism. Success stories, especially in public education, seem to be the exception rather than the rule. This is evidenced as parents flock to place their children in institutions publicized as being above the norm. Endless news reports of declining test scores and higher illiteracy rates often …

An Examination Of The Leadership Of Administrators In Higher Education As Represented In The American Academic Novel From 1950 To 1990, Laura T. Barnett
An Examination Of The Leadership Of Administrators In Higher Education As Represented In The American Academic Novel From 1950 To 1990, Laura T. Barnett
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of this study was to examine the academic leadership as portrayed in the American academic novel from 1950 to 1990. Leadership positions from higher education (president, vice-president, dean, and chairperson) were examined in this analysis of 40 academic fiction novels. The leader behavior of the selected characters was classified, using the following categories: autocratic (telling), democratic (selling), participative (participating), delegative (delegating), situational (varying) and "other" (unclassifiable due to lack of information or criteria variance). The finding was that the majority of academic leaders, in the novels studied, behaved using an autocratic (telling) leadership behavior. Also, the majority of …
Readiness And Achievement Motivation: An Investigation Of The Validity Of The Readiness Scales In Hersey And Blanchard's Situational Leadership, Xiaoping Wang
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The purpose of the study was to investigate the construct validity of the two instruments measuring readiness in Situational Leadership: the Readiness Scales--Manager Rating Form and Staff Member Rating Form--developed by Hambleton, Blanchard, and Hersey (1977). The study examined the relationships between readiness and achievement motivation, and between readiness and faculty education and work experience. The study also explored the concurrent validity of the two instruments measuring McClelland's (1961) achievement motivation: The Achievement Orientation Scale and The NachNaff Scale. The respondents were 66 department chairs and 156 faculty from 12 comprehensive institutions in the South. Data on faculty readiness were …
The Relationship Between The Formal Study Of A Second Language And The Geographic Knowledge Of High School Students, Cynthia L. Berve
The Relationship Between The Formal Study Of A Second Language And The Geographic Knowledge Of High School Students, Cynthia L. Berve
Student Work
The geographic skills and knowledge base of many Americans are not as strong as reported by several major geographic knowledge studies in the past few years. (Barrows, 1981; Boyer, 1983; The Gallup Organization, 1988.) Geographic knowledge is one component of the cultural emphasis of second language learning. therefore, one place to examine geographic knowledge is with second language students. The hypothesis tested is that there is a significant difference in geographic knowledge between high school students who study a second language and students who have not studied a second language.

An Emerging View Of Mastery, Excellence, And Leadership In Occupational Therapy Practice., Janice P Burke, Elizabeth Depoy
Department of Occupational Therapy Faculty Papers
The recent focus on clinical reasoning in occupational therapy, specifically on how therapists solve complex problems, has stimulated interest in how master clinicians think in practice. By gaining insight into how clinicians think and what they think about when they identify and solve problems, we may be able to identify clinical reasoning patterns and processes that occupational therapy students and novice therapists need to experience in order to progress in their practice or to emerge as leaders in their field. Observation of the way in which clinical masters and leaders view challenges and solve problems as manifested in their clinical …

Teacher Absenteeism In Secondary Education, Dow Scott, James C. Wimbush
School of Business: Faculty Publications and Other Works
Teacher absenteeism is a serious problem for school systems. Using an existing model of attendance behavior as a guide, attitudinal, demographic and absenteeism data from 265 secondary teachers were examined. Canonical correlation analysis revealed that absenteeism among teachers was significantly related to distance to work, gender, job involvement, and overall job satisfaction.
Judicial Enforcement Of The Right To An Equal Education In Illinois, Michael P. Seng, Michael Booden
Judicial Enforcement Of The Right To An Equal Education In Illinois, Michael P. Seng, Michael Booden
Northern Illinois University Law Review
In Brown v. Board of Educ., the United States Supreme Court recognized that "education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments." However, despite this declaration of policy, the Court has not played an affirmative role in assuring that all children have equal education opportunity, regardless of economic or social status. The rest of the federal government has been equally uninterested in enforcing the policy so clearly enunciated in Brown. Unfortunately, Illinois government has done no more than its federal counterpart to ensure that its citizens have equal educational opportunities. This article analyzes federal and Illinois case …
The Probative Weight Of The "Mainstreaming" Requirement Under The Eha, Linda S. Abrahamson
The Probative Weight Of The "Mainstreaming" Requirement Under The Eha, Linda S. Abrahamson
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This comment examines the case law which has developed around the "mainstreaming" provision of the EHA. It focuses on the fact that placement decisions made by school districts are nearly always upheld, regardless of the desires of parents or handicapped students. The author contends that this inequity does not properly respect the role of parents under the EHA, as advocates for their handicapped children. The author concludes by developing a factor test to determine the appropriate placement for a handicapped student when the degree of mainstreaming is the only issue before a reviewing court.

Personnel Staff Attitudes Toward The Employment Of Persons With Physical Disability, Mental Retardation, Or Mental Illness, Karol Ruth Oldenburg
Student Work
This thesis describes a measurement of personnel staff attitudes and perceptions toward the employability of disabled job applicants. More specifically, direct comparisons among three types of disability categories were made using Osgood's Semantic Scaling Method. Sixty employment professionals of the Lincoln Human Resources Management Association rated a job applicant with physical disability, with mental retardation, and one with mental illness on the basis of 15 paired opposite adjectives. These adjectives described a variety of attributes which could be grouped into evaluative, potency, and activity dimensions of semantic space. Respondents completed a four-page questionnaire which rated physically disabled, mentally retarded, and …

All sixth grade students attending Plattsmouth Middle School during the 1990-1991 school year participated in the study (121 total). A subset of these students were selected for further intervention on the basis of a number of factors which put them at-risk for poor academic performance (30 total). During the spring of the 1989-1990 school year, a curriculum modification project was developed in an attempt to reduce the incidence of unsatisfactory grades and improve student behavior. …

Canadian Federal Policy Towards Indian Education Since Confederation: Policy Making And Its Philosophy, Ling Yang
Master's Theses
Canadian Indian education is a complex problem in Canada's history. For the native people, education is the only way to preserve their cultural tradition. For the government, it has been the main means to assimilate the natives into the mainstream of the society. Because the majority culture has dominated Canadian society for more than two centuries, the Canadian federal government's policy and its making are the keys to understanding Indian education. Based on research in official records in the National Archives of Canada and field-research in Canadian Indian Reserves, this thesis shows that the federal government did not accept "Indian …
