Remaining Globally Competitive: Leadership And The Common Core State Standards (Ccss), Paige Hendricks Dec 2013

Remaining Globally Competitive: Leadership And The Common Core State Standards (Ccss), Paige Hendricks

The William & Mary Educational Review

State and local school systems maintained autonomy of schools, curriculum, classrooms, and instructional practices until roughly the year 2000. The passage of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislation in 2001 shifted the educational role of the Federal Government, beginning an increased focus on accountability measures to ensure that the children of the United States remain globally competitive. However, the implementation of NLCB and, more recently, the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) has proven difficult for state and local school leaders. Important leadership skills such as increased communication (to ensure collaboration and capacity-building) and shared decision-making will assist leaders with …

How Parenting Style Influences Children: A Review Of Controlling, Guiding, And Permitting Parenting Styles On Children’S Behavior, Risk- Taking, Mental Health, And Academic Achievement, Clare Merlin, Justine Rebecca Okerson, Phillip Hess

The William & Mary Educational Review

Across cultures, parenting styles fall into three categories based on levels of demandingness and responsiveness. This literature review examines three categories of parenting styles and their influence on children’s behavior, risk-taking, mental health, and academic achievement. Controlling parents are high on demandingness and low on responsiveness (Baumrind, 1991; Kim, in press). Guiding parents are high on demandingness and high on responsiveness (Baumrind, 1991; Kim, in press). Permitting parents are low on demandingness and low on responsiveness (Baumrind, 1991; Kim, in press). Based on positive and negative effects of each parenting style, this review concludes that the guiding parenting style is …

Trading Boots For Books: A Psychoeducational Group For Military Veterans Enrolled In Higher Education, Jessamyn Randall, Lilith Spry, Herman L. Lukowh Ii

The William & Mary Educational Review

More than ten years of armed conflict and educational benefits offered as an incentive to enlistment have produced a small but growing population of veterans attending colleges and universities. These students may feel isolated from peers and underutilize existing transition services. The authors present format and content for a psychoeducational group experience that integrates social support and academic skill building.

An Alternate Way To “Feel Good”: Interventions To Promote Self-Compassionate Students And Classrooms, Jessica Lloyd-Hazlett, Megan Maestri May 2013

An Alternate Way To “Feel Good”: Interventions To Promote Self-Compassionate Students And Classrooms, Jessica Lloyd-Hazlett, Megan Maestri

The William & Mary Educational Review

While well intentioned, conflation of self-esteem and wellbeing within the classroom has contributed to inflated grades, overreliance on accolades, and frustrated efforts to promote “feeling good” over building competence. The current paper suggests self-compassion is a viable alternative to the construct of self-esteem that shares significant overlap, but also transcends inherent shortcomings a focus on self-esteem creates. Classroom interventions to promote self-compassion, such as the blessings exercise, relaxation techniques, gratitude visits, and savoring, are outlined, as well as important cultural and developmental considerations.

Intervention Strategies Promoting Academic Self-Efficacy In Prospective First-Generation College Students: A Literature Review, Kathryn G. Atanasov, Nataliya Dudnytska, Todd Estes, Julie Marsh

The William & Mary Educational Review

This literature review first identifies the challenges facing prospective first-generation college students (PFGCS) including a lack of academic preparation in high school, financial barriers created by lower socioeconomic status (SES), and a lack of family support due to unfamiliarity with higher education (Majer, 2009; Olive, 2008; Weiser & Riggio, 2010). Second, this literature review examines the positive correlation between increased academic self-efficacy (ASE) and academic achievement (Elias & Loomis, 2002; Robbins et al., 2004; Zajacova, Lynch, & Espenshade, 2005). Third, this literature review provides a conceptual framework for PFGCS intervention program development based on four strategies found to influence ASE: …
