Supporting Prospective Teachers’ Development Of Relevant And Authentic Mathematics Stories, Eryn M. Stehr, Lindsay M. Keazer

Education Faculty Publications

Athletic Directors’ Perceptions Regarding The Value Of Employing Athletic Trainers In The Secondary School Setting, Stephanie H. Clines, Cailee E. Welch Bacon, Christianne M. Eason, Kelly D. Pagnotta, Robert A. Huggins, Bonnie L. Lunen

Athletic Training Faculty Publications

There is currently a limited understanding of the value of athletic trainers (ATs) working in the secondary school setting. Therefore, our objective was to explore high school athletic directors’ perceptions of an AT’s roles and services and the means in which those perceptions are established, specifically as they relate to the value of ATs. A qualitative methodology was utilized for this investigation. High school athletic directors were interviewed regarding their experiences with the use of athletic training services.

Affirming The Purpose Of Affirmative Action: Understanding A Policy Of The Past To Move Towards A More Informed Future, Meagan Schantz

Writing Across the Curriculum

Overall, at the heart of its intended purpose, affirmative action is a critical and necessary policy; however, to …
