Safety Changes In Blue Ribbon Schools Since The Attack On Columbine High School, Joseph Gust
Safety Changes In Blue Ribbon Schools Since The Attack On Columbine High School, Joseph Gust
Dissertations
Measuring school success using a variety of tools is commonplace in America.
For many years, one standard measurement of a school's success was The Blue Ribbon Award from 1982 through 2002. This award quantified success based on schools achieving successful outcomes in a variety of areas with specific criteria.
Blue Ribbon award winning schools are exceptional by Department of Education
standards. They are not exempt from school violence and the issues that plague other
schools. Academic success and awards do not prepare a school for the situation that
occurred at Columbine.
The participants I interviewed were Principals or Designees at …

The past twenty years have brought about a paradigm shift in higher education. During that time, we have changed our focus from what we want to teach to what students need to learn. The academy's position of unassailable authority has been usurped by public cries for transparency, accountability, quality assurance, and quality improvement. To cut expenses, and therefore deter the rising cost of postsecondary education, institutions have borrowed best business practices and started focusing on productivity, efficiency, and reallocating resources.

Surviving The First Years: A Principals Guide For Implementing A Quality Special Education Program, Lisa Bertrand, Ruth Roberts, Margaret Dalton
Academic Leadership: The Online Journal
In today’s schools, building level administrators are faced with a variety of challenges as they strive to provide leadership that promotes successful learning experiences for all students. Promoting the success of all students is also the foundation of current federal legislation with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandates as well as the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Answering the call of these directives and the goal for all students to experience success, building level principals must have fundamental knowledge of special education programs and services. However, research indicates that principal preparation course work may not target special education …
