A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Kathleen J. Sunnes

Graduate Research Papers

As the 21st Century approaches, changes in social, political, and economic environments have been accelerating. There is a change of attitude about the educational system and its role in our society. It is my belief that our school systems will be the stable institutions which will maintain and teach the values our society will need to survive. Education has a powerful influence on our children. The responsibility of the principal of an educational institution is great.

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Christina M. Windsor

Graduate Research Papers

The progress of Black women must clearly be stated in the context of value and images which are our own not in the mirror of the dominant culture's values. As we move to fill new roles, and to create new roles, we must bring with us our own values. The progress of Black women, as Black women, is the measure of how well or how poorly this nation has been able to accommodate the unique perspectives of those once defined as inferior because we are Black, and unstable because we are women (Washington, 1988) .

National And Community Service: Challenges And Opportunities For People With Disabilities To Volunteer In America, Glen W. White

Disabilities

The recently implemented National and Community Service Act of 1990 calls for Americans of all race, age, ability, and economic status to return to service in their community. To help facilitate this call to service, the National Commission on Community Service has allocated approximately 70 million dollars in grants. The Act focuses on the involvement of youth, including those who are economically disadvantaged and with disabilities. This paper discusses the challenges and opportunities faced by community service program planners and disability organizations, in their efforts to integrate volunteers with disabilities in service to the community. The paper concludes with a …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Mark T. Core

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this paper· is to articulate the fundamental values and beliefs which will guide me as I prepare to enter the field of administration. I would like to begin with a general statement on why I am a professional educator, a mission statement if you will. The paper will then examine specific behaviors which I hope to exhibit during my practice as an administrator. Before analyzing my personal motives for entering school administration, I must first ask myself what exactly is the role of education in our society. It seems those of us in the adult world have …

The Influence Of Academic Advising And Retention Programs On Minority Students' Matriculation, Celeste F. Bland

Graduate Research Papers

"Since the founding of Harvard University in 1636, institutions of higher education have been concerned with students leaving college prior to completing degree requirements" (Jackson, 1992, p.14). The complex ways in which people learn and ultimately persist while attending institutions of higher education is not easily understood or formulated. As research indicates, minority students on predominantly white institutions have particular needs which must be met in order to enhance their achievement and persistence on college campuses (Allen, 1992). Many minority students encounter a variety of problems while enrolled at predominantly white institutions; therefore, there is a need for fresh, innovative, …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Elementary Schools : A Reflective Essay, Leann R. Burkholder

Graduate Research Papers

Education in today's society has transformed almost completely and has changed dramatically. The techniques and curricula have shifted as students have change. The family unit is different now because of socio-economic problems, divorce, and single parent homes. Many values and beliefs taught in the past at home are now taught and learned in the schools. With both parents working in many families, quality time with children diminishes and is sometimes nonexistent. This quality time is where children learn morals, manners, and social interactions. Currently, children come to school without these appropriate social skills and it is up to the school …

A Preferred Vision For Administering School Business Management: A Reflective Essay, Joseph B. Daley

(Association of School Business Officials International [ASBO INT'L], 1986, p. 7) This same book listed seven high importance task clusters; financial planning and budgeting, fiscal accounting and financial reporting, cash management, fiscal audits and reports, general management, payroll management, and purchasing. The average importance list contained 20 additional items.

Development Of Self-Concept In Elementary School Guidance And Counseling Programs: Counselor As Leader, Jack L. Darland Jr.

Graduate Research Papers

In reviewing the literature of guidance and counseling studies over the past fifteen years, several key ideas emerge. Among these is the popular trend toward "planned sequential, developmentally-based guidance curriculum". A major focus of this developmental concept is the building of "self" as a keystone. The terms "self-esteem", "self-awareness", "self-concept" or ''self-acceptance", are at the heart of most elementary guidance programs. Self-perceptions held by the child have been of mixed concern in education for a long time. In the not-so-distant past it was felt that a child's sense of self needed to be broken down before truly effective learning could-take …

Administrative Leadership Vision: A Reflective Essay, Joleen Eiklenborg

Graduate Research Papers

Education is in a time of great debate, change, and growth. Iowa schools are trying to implement the New Department of Education Standards established in 1989 and new legislation enacted by the Seventy-Third Iowa General Assembly in 1989 and 1990. As we deliberate, another transformation labeled, "The Iowa Initiative for World-Class Schools", is under study (Lantor, 1991; Lepley, 1991)

The Role Of The School Counselor In Assessment And Treatment Of Attentional Problem Students, Carole Eslinger

Graduate Research Papers

Currently, five percent of America's school-aged children are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder with or without hyperactivity (ADHD), using the DSM-R III (American Psychiatric Association, 1980) classification system. Recognizing the increasing incidence of crack/ cocaine babies in the 1990's, our educators will be faced with growing numbers of behaviorally disordered children (Rist, 1990). Ross and Ross (1982) suggested that like most childhood behavior disorders, ADHD is more common in boys than in girls with sex ratios ranging from 6:1 (Friedman & Doyal, 1987). Brancaleone (1988) concluded that there is extreme difficulty in defining and diagnosing ADHD because children have various …

A New Leadership Vision For Secondary School Principals: A Reflective Essay, Dana C. Deines

Graduate Research Papers

Reflective practice is based on the reality that professional knowledge is different from scientific knowledge, according to Kotter (1988). Researchers have not been able to establish a full understanding of the nature of professional knowledge in education. There are differing views on the terms and conditions of educational practices. The practice of every professional is a growth process not formed from a strict set of rules or research results. Professional practice is developed through trial and error. It has also been expressed as "thinking on your feet." Educators find procedures that seem to work, and others that have failed. The …

Aftercare Following Treatment For Aging Alcoholics, Rebecca S. Despenas

Graduate Research Papers

Throughout the last fifteen years the realization of a problem with alcoholism in the elderly population has come to the attention of many Americans. Following heart disease and cancer, alcoholism ranks as the third leading cause of death (Benshoff & Roberto, 1987). Approximately one out of ten people over 60 years of age {27.5 million) fall into the category of alcoholics but only 15% of that number actually receive treatment {Kelley, 1991).

Alcoholism And Perceptions Of Family Of Origin, Sonne K. Granquist

Graduate Research Papers

Theories regarding the etiology of alcoholism abound in the literature. Conceptualization of the disease has ranged from that of individual pathology to a symptom of family dysfunction. In the past, treatment providers have concentrated their efforts on treating the individual alcoholic while virtually ignoring issues regarding the adult alcoholic's family of origin as well as problems found in the alcoholic's nuclear family. More recently, theorists and therapists have begun looking at the impact of the family of origin on the development of alcoholism in certain individuals. Greater understanding of the disease has come to include examining not only the individual's …

The Status Of The In Loco Parentis Doctrine In American Higher Education, William Lee Maravetz

Graduate Research Papers

Though the concept of in loco parentis as applied to higher education lost its legal status during the late 1960s and early 1970s, many higher education authorities believe that the underlying philosophy of in loco parentis is re-emerging. This paper examines the history of the in loco parentis doctrine in American higher education. By drawing on a number of sources, the fluctuating legal and philosophical applications of the doctrine are traced from their origins in colonial America to their status in the higher education system of today.

Art Therapy In Elementary School Counseling, Jennifer S. Handeland

Graduate Research Papers

People tend to be less guarded about expressing themselves through drawings than through speech. Therefore, drawings can offer glimpses into the ways individuals see themselves and their worlds (Silver, 1988). Children are attracted to art materials as spontaneously as they play with food on their plates or create monuments in backyard mud. Because making and marking are so very natural and appealing to children, the use of art media is a valuable avenue for expression when counseling the young (Rubin, 1988) . Art therapy can be used in dealing with normal developmental problems and can promote identity building. Through art …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Daniel C. Heller

Graduate Research Papers

Twenty some years ago I decided I would become a teacher, I believed I could make a difference. I have mostly been satisfied with my role as an educator. I was, however, dissatisfied with one area. That was the qualities of those that led the schools in which I taught. On several occasions actions taken or plans made were not handled very well. My fellow teachers and I were not sure how or why we were to complete an assigned task. It appeared as though we were asked to implement some change without adequate direction and no clear understanding of …
