Improving Interpersonal Communication Skills: An Inservice Design For Iowa School Administrators, Troyce Lindaman Fisher Jan 1981

Improving Interpersonal Communication Skills: An Inservice Design For Iowa School Administrators, Troyce Lindaman Fisher

Graduate Research Papers

Recent studies have shown that the school principal is the pivotal person in determining the effectiveness of a school. (24:1) He or she has more influence over both the institutional and the individual dimensions that comprise the operations of the school than any other single participant in the educational enterprise. Newell (31:5) has suggested that the reason administrator relationships have such far-reaching effects on education is because the goals the administrator sets out to achieve are realized chiefly through other people. It is inherent to an administrator's effectiveness to nurture positive human relationships.

Relationship Between Size Of School And Least Preferred Coworker Score For Elementary School Principals, Stephen Carter Foster

Graduate Research Papers

In the complicated, subjective field of leadership, school administration ranks as one of the least well understood areas on the scale. Business, with their billions have been able to spend the money and the time examining leadership in the business environment and have established considerable data which, because of the lack of money and time in education, must be translated to our field before analysis. This translation occasionally diminishes the value of the results obtained from the research. For this reason, it is of major importance that educators adjust and apply some of the ideas developed in business to educational …

The closing of the decade of the 70's has also brought with it the closing of an era in American History, the baby boom era. The post-war infants of the late 40's and early 50's have progressed steadily through the elementary, secondary, and post-secondary schools swelling each in turn to its capacity. The early 70's saw these young adults, in numbers the likes of which this country has never before seen, entering a highly competitive and highly specialized job market. Due to advances in technology and an ever increasing amount of knowledge these young adults are now demanding of society …

Selected Topics On Individualized Instruction, Wilmer Purvis Peeler Jan 1981

Selected Topics On Individualized Instruction, Wilmer Purvis Peeler

Graduate Research Papers

The formal development of individualized instructional programs in America began as a reaction against the age-graded lock-step system in which all students were constrained to study the same materials, in the same way, for the same length of time. Arguments for breaking down uniformity of instruction gained support with the appearance of instruments for measuring human abilities. It became clear that students differ not only in intelligence but in creativity. It also became clear that great differences between competence and performance are possible, and that inequalities in intellect, physical ability and social behavior, great in childhood, increase as students move …

The Life Management Project: A Comprehensive Treatment And Training Approach To Rehabilitation For Adult Offenders, Elaine Rose Penn

Graduate Research Papers

In the past fifteen to twenty years, penal reform has undergone a structural and service model trend toward vocational training and counseling. In many state penal facilities inmates can now take advantage of vocational/technical training and even obtain external degrees through correspondence programs with local colleges and universities. There is a need to supplement these training efforts by preparing inmates emotionally and socially for the kinds of pressures they will face upon release. The high rates of recidivism, substance abuse and unemployment represented by the ex-offender population are highly indicative of the special needs of this group .

The Role Of The Elementary School Counselor In Child Abuse, Thomas George Petaros Jan 1981

The Role Of The Elementary School Counselor In Child Abuse, Thomas George Petaros

Graduate Research Papers

Child abuse has existed for as long as man has inhabited the earth. In spite of its long history, child abuse has only recently been recognized as a problem in need of investigation and study. In earlier ages, children were considered property of their parents. As with their property, parents were allowed to treat their children in any manner they desired. The children were left with few, if any, rights. In addition, the sole responsibility for child rearing was placed in the hands of the parents. Agencies were not available to take care of children if parents could not or …

A Comparison Of The Objectives Of Parents And Teachers For The Preschool Program, Marcia Davis Akin

Graduate Research Papers

During the last decade the number of children attending preschool has increased dramatically. In 1967, 6.8% of three year olds and 21.3% of four year olds were enrolled in school as compared to 20% of three year olds and 41.9% of four year olds in 1976 (Bureau of Census, 1). Several factors have contributed to this growth. There is an increasingly popular attitude among parents of preschoolers that learning experiences provided by families can be beneficially supplemented by an organized preschool experience.

Graduate Research Papers

In the past two decades considerable effort has focused on the degree to which college environments exert important impacts on students' values, attitudes, and behaviors. However, since college and university environments are so rich and multi-dimensional, it may be more appropriate to center attention on the subenvironments. The college residence hall is one such subenvironment which has received considerable attention during the past decade.

Effects Of An On-Campus Orientation Experience On New Uni Students' Perceptions Of The Campus Environment, Charlene W. Backman

Graduate Research Papers

Summer orientation programs are common means of registering new freshmen students at colleges and universities. Frequently, these programs also aim to affect perceptions and attitudes of their students toward the institution (Forrer, 1974). Black (1974: 102) states that orientation"...assists students to become better acquainted with a new educational environment." According to Robert H. Shaffer {1970: 7-121)"...the purpose of the orientation process might well be summarized as that of communicating to the student and all those influencing him what a college, a college education, and a college educated person are."
