College And Career Ready: What’S The Library Got To Do With It?, Janet Anderson-Story, Carmaine Ternes, Joy Haegert
Kansas Library Association College and University Libraries Section Proceedings
College and Career Ready, Career Clusters, and Career Pathways are buzz words often heard but not always understood. These terms will be discussed as information about the collaborative activities between Emporia High School (EHS) and Flint Hills Technical College (FHTC) is shared. One responsibility of Emporia High School guidance counselors is to assist students in exploring and choosing career pathway courses. To support the counselors, the librarians at both institutions have created resources and activities that engage students in career exploration. The FHTC librarian created a LibGuide that includes online handbooks, reports, and crosswalks from FHTC programs to the six …
Exceeding The Limits: Teaching And Assessing Information Literacy Within Blackboard, Jon Ritterbush
Exceeding The Limits: Teaching And Assessing Information Literacy Within Blackboard, Jon Ritterbush
Kansas Library Association College and University Libraries Section Proceedings
Many librarians can relate to the pedagogical limitations of one-shot classes and the challenges of reaching large numbers of first-year students. The Library Research Tutorial at the University of Nebraska-Kearney was designed to go beyond time and space constraints to orient new undergraduate students to library resources and research methods using self-paced modules within a Blackboard course. Since Fall 2011, over 2,400 students have been enrolled in the Tutorial at the request of their course instructors, who in turn receive students’ Tutorial quiz scores for use as graded credit. This paper describes the Tutorial’s contents, enrollment and grading processes, instructor …
From Knowing To Understanding Student Empowerment: A Narrative Approach To Research In A Middle School, Brian R. Horn
From Knowing To Understanding Student Empowerment: A Narrative Approach To Research In A Middle School, Brian R. Horn
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
This paper examines how, as a teacher researcher, I employed a narrative approach to research to better understand my 8th grade Language Arts students’ empowerment in school. Drawing on sociocultural theory, critical pedagogy and a narrative approach to teacher research, students’ voices were privileged and compared to the systemic assumptions regarding student empowerment inherent in No Child Left Behind (NCLB) policy in order to develop a stronger professional understanding of how schools empower and disempower students.
Inquiry Into Teaching: Using Reflective Teaching To Improve My Practice, Sarah E. Pennington
Inquiry Into Teaching: Using Reflective Teaching To Improve My Practice, Sarah E. Pennington
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
How effective is reflective teaching in increasing the engagement and achievement of pre-service teachers when utilized by a first-year college instructor? This article documents a practitioner inquiry project in which I reflected both on my own observations and student feedback regarding what teaching methods were most beneficial in an undergraduate elementary education class. Data included student feedback, personal researcher journal entries, student quiz scores, and format for presenting material in class. Pre-service teacher engagement and learning were both enhanced by integration of videos, activities, and higher level questions into class sessions. The results of this research affirm the power of …
Uncovering And Informing Preservice Teachers’ Prior Knowledge About Poverty, Charlotte Anne Mundy, Melinda Marie Leko
Uncovering And Informing Preservice Teachers’ Prior Knowledge About Poverty, Charlotte Anne Mundy, Melinda Marie Leko
Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
This study explored 30 preservice teachers’ knowledge on issues related to poverty. In an openended questionnaire, preservice teachers’ perceptions of poverty and how teachers should respond to students from poverty were explored. Results indicated that preservice teachers’ knowledge was nonspecific and lacked focus on the relationship among poverty, schools, and students. These results indicate a need for us as teacher educators to provide preservice teachers with (a) specific details about realities of poverty, (b) opportunities to discuss and observe the relationship among poverty, teachers, and schools, and (c) examples of children and families from poverty who have positive attributes.

Whether in the PreK-12 classroom or at the college level, action research empowers researchers to observe, reflect and take action on their own practice. In Volume 17, Number1 of Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research educators/researchers illustrate how their personal inquiries impacted their practice as pre-service teachers, classroom teachers, or university instructors. The articles in this edition encourage educators to listen to the voices of the students they teach because student voices can teach teachers.

Networks: An Online Journal for Teacher Research
This article explores what happens when school mentors and university faculty co-facilitate a cycle of action research with pre-service science teacher residents in an urban teacher residency. The voices of all three constituents describe the process of doing action research together in community and its impact on their practice. The pre-service teacher residents narrate their questions, how they explore them, and highlight their findings. They discuss how the use of action research as a methodology deepened and extended their development as critically reflective practitioners. Finally we discuss the implications of the inquiry stance of action research for both the individuals …

Hadar Dubowsky Ma’ayan regards Reading Girls: The Lives and Literacies of Adolescents as an important extension of Finder’s (1997) Just Girls: Hidden Literacies and Life in Junior High. Ma’ayan, a 5th grade teacher, conducts practitioner action research while taking a year off from teaching at Lincoln Middle School. Once a week, she met with a group of six racially and socioeconomically diverse 8th grade girls to participate in a Girls’ Literacy Discussion Group (GLDG).

Development Of A Standard-Based Instrument For Assessing Principal Leadership, Mingchu Neal Luo
The Advocate
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a scale of instrument, the Principal Leadership Index (PLI), to assess principal leadership practices within the framework of ELCC (2011) standards adopted by the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation. Items of the PLI were initially developed by the researcher followed by expert reviews in the field of school leadership and a pilot test. The instrument was used to collect the empirical data from 73 principals, which were investigated with exploratory factor analyses, reliability tests, and multilevel analyses. Results reveal four unique constructs for the leadership dimensions, showing robust …
