Guyland: A Tough Place To Be, Charles G. Eberly Apr 2009

Guyland: A Tough Place To Be, Charles G. Eberly

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

This is a book review of Michael Kimmel's 2008 book, Guyland: The perilous world where boys become men. The review was written with a focus on the challenges young men face during the college years, and the impact that a "charasmatic adult" such as a fraternity advisor can have on their lives.


Aod Prevention In A Consensus Building Environment, Charles G. Eberly Feb 2009

Aod Prevention In A Consensus Building Environment, Charles G. Eberly

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

This paper is a proposal to carry out a systematic program evaluation of the Sigma Phi Epsilon EDGE New Member Program, and was submitted to the Department of Education for funding in February 2009. The letter I received from the DOE indicated that my proposal did not fully meet the criteria for the grant competition since the study included students from many campuses rather than being focused on prevention programming for just one campus. The proposal does, however, provide evidence that new member education on prevention among fraternity men within six weeks of their joining an organization is promising. Compare …

Prospective Elementary School Teachers’ Culturally Responsive Teaching Self‐Efficacy Beliefs, Catherine Polydore Jan 2009

Prospective Elementary School Teachers’ Culturally Responsive Teaching Self‐Efficacy Beliefs, Catherine Polydore

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

In this study, the authors examined prospective elementary school teachers’ culturally responsive teaching self‐efficacy beliefs. The Culturally Responsive Teaching Self‐Efficacy Scale was administered to a sample of 104 preservice teachers enrolled in a teacher education program located at a large Midwestern university. These results suggested that prospective elementary school teachers felt more confident in their ability to use a variety of teaching and instructional methods, communicate with parents, and develop positive, trusting relationships with students. The sample of preservice teachers, however, were less confident in their ability to communicate with English Language Learners, minimize the effects of the cultural mismatch, …


One School, Many Differences: An Assessment Tool For School Counselors And Multicultural Counseling, Rebecca Tadlock-Marlo Jan 2009

One School, Many Differences: An Assessment Tool For School Counselors And Multicultural Counseling, Rebecca Tadlock-Marlo

Faculty Research & Creative Activity

Multicultural counseling competencies (MCCs) have typically been measured with instruments designed for and normed on mental health professionals (for example, MCCTS-R; Holcomb-McCoy, 2001; MCI; Sodowsky, Taffe, Gutkin, & Wise, 1994; D’Andrea, Daniels, & Heck, 1991). One published instrument specifically assesses school counselor MCCs (MCCTS-R; Holcomb-McCoy, 2001) but it does not conform to ASCA standards (2010, E.2). Following a set of validation procedures, an instrument designed to specifically assess school counselors’ multicultural counseling competencies was created that conforms to American School Counselor Association and Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development standards. Its creation is detailed here and the resulting instrument is …
