Pivoting To Deeper Experiences In Education.Docx, Danielle Eadens, Daniel Eadens

In higher education, pivoting quickly to a fully virtual experience online in the midst of a global pandemic is an adventure. There are marked differences between the online experience for a student who was already in a web-delivered course versus one that started face-to-face and quickly pivoted to an online setting. Some assignments, lessons, and courses are easily delivered in alternate formats while other learning opportunities are much more difficult to transition for online delivery. For example, assignments that involve internships or in-person experiences had to shift dramatically, be delayed, or cancelled. Beyond the experiences within the higher education classroom, …

Educators are amongst a population at risk for exposure to secondary trauma because they have contact with young adults who may have or currently experiencing hardships such as mental health issues, relationship abuse, or financial insecurity. However, despite the vulnerability of educators to secondary trauma, little research has focused on this population or preventative techniques that might mitigate the effects of secondary trauma to educators. A faculty cohort was selected to identify levels of exposure and coping strategies used to navigate classroom and one and one interactions with students. In this presentation participants the results from this semester long faculty …

Quality Leadership Matters: A Research-Based Survey Of Graduate Programming, Daniel Eadens, Carol Mullen
EGS Content
This empirical study contributes to the dialogue about quality leadership and national trends involving standards-based program review. It is the first to utilize the 2016 Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation (CAEP) Standards for graduate programs and separately from accreditation and sponsorship. The literature on quality leadership is reviewed, and results from an original instrument are described. Survey influences included leadership literature, the CAEP Standards, and the University Council for Educational Administration’s artifacts. Students and completers’ feedback was on program effectiveness, satisfaction, impact, and ethics. Variance was found in perceptions of quality, relevance, and learning. Contradictory beliefs of program …

Broader Thinking In Educational Leadership Decisions, Daniel Eadens, Christian Olson
EGS Content
Universities and colleges are facing a variety of threats that impede traditional policy and decision-making. Institutional silos sometimes make collaboration and cohesion very difficult (Hanover Research, 2014, p. 20; Kelderman, 2016; Lederman, 2013). As institutions lose funding and political capital while struggling to collaborate, new policies and ways of thinking must be explored and implemented (Lederman, 2013). The goal of this article is to demonstrate that a policy of broader thinking is one method that can aid higher educational leaders in finding solutions; broader thinking is operationalized by finding ways to decrease wasteful spending by avoiding common pitfalls, using common …

Motivational Factors For Pursuing Degrees In Educational Administration., Myron Labat, Daniel Eadens, Cherie Labat, Danielle Eadens

Graduate students from a southern state were surveyed to analyze their motivations for pursuing a degree in educational administration. The researchers also examined whether there were differences in the reported motivations based on race. According to NCES (2003-2004) only 10.6% of all public school principals were African American while 16.8% of the students they served were of the same race. Understanding that African Americans are underrepresented in school leadership positions as compared to their Caucasian counterparts, the researchers sought to explore whether Caucasians were encouraged to pursue school leadership credentials more often than African Americans. Statistical analysis revealed no significance …

This resource offers instructors a full palette of strategies for teaching social justice concepts across subject areas from kindergarten through college. Dividing its content between elementary, adolescent, and adult learners, the book analyzes the classroom experience as a powerful means of challenging stereotypes and supporting inclusion, respect, and equity. History, language arts, literature, and social studies, as well as mathematics and science are shown as platforms for tying critical thinking to moral behavior. And while professional development underlies all chapters in the text, special areas such as technology, curriculum design, recognizing student demographics, and raising social justice awareness in school …

Individual Differences In Digital Badging: Do Learner Characteristics Matter?, Joey R. Fanfarelli, Thomas Rudy Mcdaniel
Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works
Badge use has rapidly expanded in recent years and has benefited a variety of applications. However, a large portion of the research has applied a binary useful or not useful approach to badging. Few studies examine the characteristics of the user and the impact of those characteristics on the effectiveness of the badging system. This study takes preliminary steps toward that cause, examining the effectiveness of a badging system across two web-based university courses in relation to the individual differences of the learners. Individual differences are examined through the lens of Long-Dziuban reactive behavior types and traits. Results revealed differences …

Although Principal Francis’ motivation to pilot a technology-infused curriculum program is laudable in his eyes and has garnered Superintendent Garcia’s support, he has clearly made several critical leadership mistakes obtaining loyalty from his own leaders at Dayton High School. Ramifications for this error will surface in many ways and it will span time, however, if handled wisely at this juncture, the current situation can be transformed positively and still result in accomplishing his ultimate desired outcome of piloting the new technology-infused curriculum program.

There is no doubt that spending adequate time during the school day on improving reading, science, and math skills with curriculum designed to increase performance on high stakes assessments, is supremely important in this age of accountability. While the emphasis with many schools in the United States this decade has maintained a laser-like focus on quickly increasing academic improvement, required by the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001, not all of the youth in America have forgotten that there are other areas of importance, including social and emotional growth and basic humanity. If our students are to become …

As a beginning, the Principal needs to immediately devise a comprehensive, fast acting plan, in close conjunction with the school’s leadership, and present it to the Superintendent, who may or may not agree with the plan. Having a plan is better than approaching the Superintendent without a plan even though the district likely already has their own plans. However, because the clock is ticking, time is of the essence with regards to student safety and legal compliance.

It is 21-year-old Tabitha’s first year teaching with a temporary teaching certificate, while she waits for her scores to arrive from the teaching certification exam so she can apply for her permanent certificate. Without it, she is unable to acquire a teaching contract, despite many favorable interviews, so she finds a day-to-day substitute Special Education (SPED) position at a Title I middle school for the first day of the school year. The position is a special education co-teaching position, meaning she is responsible for team-teaching alongside four general education teachers who have the same group of 160 seventh graders. She …

Academie Da Vinci Charter School for the Arts (ADV), the first charter school in Pinellas County, Florida, uncovered a revelation about the lowest quartile of academic performers on standardized testing that has led to a commitment to training innovations designed to transform teaching methods and shift educational paradigms of stakeholders. Although ADV is currently a High Performing Charter School, the discovery occurred during tutoring of the lowest performers, part of ADV’s continuous school improvement efforts. The Instructional Leadership Team (ILT) of practitioner scholars, including ADV’s principal, two professors, and an ADV teacher, found that these lowest performing students, who continually …
