Graduate Research Papers

As I began thinking about going into education when I was younger, I really felt a strong need and desire to deal with people. I really wanted to work with people and share my ideas with everyone -- both young and old. Thinking about what I wanted to do when I grew up, and trying to figure out what college to go to, I had some guidance which has influenced me to pursue education and now administration. I grew up in a family who are administrators at the junior and high school levels. My father is an associate principal at …

School Leadership And Educational Reform: Parent Involvment, The Education For Handicapped Children Act, And The Principal, Jane Clark Lindle

Publications

Originally passed in 1975, the Education for Handicapped Children Act (EHA or P.L. 94-142) provided an unprecedented legislative definition of parent involvement. Congress mandated that parents be included in the educational decision-making process concerning handicapped children. This paper summarizes parent involvement as defined by the EHA, reviews the literature on implementation of EHA's provision for parent involvement, and offers recommendations for principals' leadership in supporting parent involvement. Principals are advised to create a school climate conducive to parent involvement through parent induction programs and staff development.

Questions Concerning Goodlad And Educational Reform, Robert N. Muffoletto

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

It is important from the onset of this position statement to state the obvious: "Schools (American education) are social constructions." As historical constructs, schools are institutions of the state and are involved in the reproduction and maintenance of the ideological horizons of the dominate social and economic class. Schools serve a major purpose: They are to maintain the conditions which, along with other social institutions, conserve the economy and status quo.

To seriously consider the restructuring (or reforming) of American education, we must ask the nature of the change being proposed and the "ends" envisioned. As the term restructuring suggests, …

A Whole Language Approach Integrating Children's Songs In Spanish To Enhance Language Acquisition And Literacy In The Spanish Immersion Primary Grades, Homero R. Capetillo

All Graduate Projects

An alternative method for the development of second language acquisition and literacy in a second language program was explored. A collection of Spanish children's songs and lessons utilizing "whole language" teaching strategies were compiled to supplement the language arts cμrriculum. The premise for this study was that children's songs could be used to develop activities that would enhance second language acquisition and literacy skills. Implications for the integration of music to provide a cogent transitional vehicle from spoken to written language structures are discussed.

Experience-Based Dialogues In Secondary English-As-A-Second-Language Classrooms, Carlina V. Lobos

All Graduate Projects

An informal study was conducted to explore the effectiveness of experience-based dialogues in the promotion of oral language use in secondary-level English-As-A-Second-Language classrooms. The twenty-one dialogues field-tested in the project were developed interactively, by teacher and students, in the sociocognitive context of each of the learner's background knowledge, experience and immediate communication needs. Experience-based dialogues are a method of language teaching and learning that focuses on the communicative act rather than on isolated or discrete grammatical items. An overview of the results of the informal study was presented here. Strategies for teachers to develop and implement, using this approach, were …

The Benefits Of Reading Aloud To Children, Lori Ann Prince

All Graduate Projects

The benefits of reading aloud to children are studied. Observations indicate that the more young children are read to, the more they are motivated to become readers themselves. When young children are participating in the dialogue of a story that is being read aloud, their interest in that story increases dramatically. Using a variety of children's literature is an excellent supplement to the first grade curriculum and language activity lessons. Recommendations from the conclusions are presented.
