Combatting The Drive Deficit: An Exploration Of Conative Skill Inclusion In College And Career Readiness Policy, Vanessa Hein
Combatting The Drive Deficit: An Exploration Of Conative Skill Inclusion In College And Career Readiness Policy, Vanessa Hein
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
A major area of inquiry, which has persisted throughout the history of public education, is how to best prepare our students for both post-secondary education and future employment through college and career readiness (CCR) initiatives. Much of the foundational knowledge and skills that are included in such standards and policy, rest upon cognitive and affective processes. Equally important is the inclusion of conative skills, which are internally derived and managed by conative processes and include self-awareness (inclusive of culture and identity), self-direction (inclusive of agency and autonomy), and self-management (inclusive of motivation, persistence, and resilience). However, there is also prevalent …

The Impact Of Racial Identity In College Planning Resources For African American Students Considering Historically Black Colleges And Universities (Hbcu), Camille Franklin
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) have always impacted the education of African Americans. Their mission was always grounded in educating Black Americans during a time when laws and segregation prevented that from happening. HBCUs have a historic responsibility as the primary providers of post-secondary education for African Americans in a social environment of racial discrimination (Johnson, 2019). By the turn of the century, there was a shift in blacks being educated solely by HBCU’s. In 1950 most, black students attended an HBCU but by 1975 it was only 25%, and in 2015 only 9% of black students were enrolled …

Chronic Absenteeism: The Problem, The Participants, The Panacea, Markenya L. Williams
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
This study examined some of the historical challenges and barriers of chronic absenteeism that has plagued the United States K-12th grade educational system for several centuries. The brutal impact that chronic absenteeism has on students’ academic achievement, the school, community, and society were described and categorized by various demographics and subgroups. Additionally, the primary stakeholders for overcoming chronic absenteeism were identified; interventions and accountability measures were also explored. Furthermore, this study analyzed the current attendance policies/procedures of five school districts from a large Midwestern state, with similar demographics and varying chronic absenteeism rates. Practical strategies and recommendations to reduce chronic …
Crime Reporting Through Social Media: Potential Opportunities In Community Policing, Kimberly Washington
Crime Reporting Through Social Media: Potential Opportunities In Community Policing, Kimberly Washington
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
The popularity and usage of social media over the years has increased. Due to this increase there has now been an influx of information shared on a global platform. This information that has been shared can be as superficial as daily activities, food eaten or as sensitive as graphic crimes committed. The Perceived Social Media Anonymity Effect is a concept that I am introducing and seek to explore. It is based on the premise that allows one to relinquish the fear of being in large crowds and speaking up when crimes have been committed while also being able to seek …

State-Funded Dual Enrollment Program: One State’S Personalization Approach To Increase High School Graduation Rates And Reduce Dropout Rates, Debra H. Harris
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
In December 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) asked each state to design a plan to hold accountable their State Education Agency to provide flexible pathways to college and career with a commitment to ensure personalized learning and equitable opportunities for high school learners. With decades of effort to provide personalization through college and career pathways, the Vermont House and Senate Committees on Education holds its Agency of Education (VAOE) responsible for reporting how the Agency increases high school graduation rates and reduces dropout rates through the state-funded dual enrollment program. As State Education Agencies implement their ESSA plans, …

Creating Positive School Culture On Social Media - School Culture On The Go, Antoine L. Reed
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
Schools across America have created policies to address school culture. School culture today must be able to adjust and adapt to the changing times that are brought on by technology. Technology has continued to change citizens across the globe; this change has made communication look, feel, and operate differently than ever before. Technology has grown, with its platforms embedded in schools, these changes have gifts such as cultural inclusiveness, vast options for instructional resources, and even options for feedback and evaluation. Technology has also challenged many schools in ways of distracting students, bullying through social media, and gangs today have …
A Phenomenological Study Of Chicago's Independent School Principals, Jerry Travlos
A Phenomenological Study Of Chicago's Independent School Principals, Jerry Travlos
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
The Every Student Succeeds Act of 2015 identifies principals and teachers as equally important components of effective schools. Competent and skillful principals are needed to improve struggling schools and maintain high performing schools. Despite their importance, Chicago’s principals are leaving their schools in high numbers. The systems that surround, support, and retain principals are failing. Reacting to the large number of principal departures and a lack of qualified replacements, the Chicago Public Schools added principal leadership capacity and retention as priorities to their reform efforts. School improvement efforts are undercut when principals depart their roles prior to making sustainable impact. …
Relational Trust As A Determinant Of Principal Turnover: A Quantitative Analysis, Steven Michael Jeretina
Relational Trust As A Determinant Of Principal Turnover: A Quantitative Analysis, Steven Michael Jeretina
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
The issue of principal turnover in American schools has gained greater attention over the last twenty years due to the trend of double-digit annual principal turnover rates. The connection between principal turnover and school climate has largely been focused on how changes in the principal position negatively affects school climate. No research, to this point, has examined the correlation between relational trust between teachers and their principal and principal turnover rates. This study achieves this goal by addressing the question: What, if any, is the relationship between relational trust and principal turnover? This study employed a quantitative methodology supported by …
Muslim Women And Centered Leadership Practices, Raheela Al Karim
Muslim Women And Centered Leadership Practices, Raheela Al Karim
College of Education Theses and Dissertations
In the workplace, female leaders are understated compared to their male counterparts (Barsh, 2015). This gap is particularly pronounced in the fields of science, technology, English, and mathematics (S.T.E.M.), including information technology (IT); a field that is notorious for organizational cultures that are unwelcoming to female leaders (Sani, 2018). This gap also persists despite the benefits associated with female leaders across all industries, which include strong intercultural empathy, diversity, and diplomacy. Centered leadership, a five-prong leadership model, is particularly compatible with the fortes and limitations of women leaders (Barsh & Lavoie, 2014). This model—which involves meaning, managing energy, positive framing, …
