Establishing A Positive School Climate On The Playground For Students With Serious Behavioral Disabilities: A Collaborative Effort, Mildred Carol Fletcher Garcia

All Graduate Projects

Social skills deficits of students with serious behavior disabilities are often an obstacle to integration into the regular education system. Many of the most troublesome problems occur outside the classroom on the playground due to the lessened structure constraints of the playground environment. As a result, the students are labeled "bad kids" by the teachers and paraprofessionals, are socially rejected by nondisabled peers, and the downward spiral of a negative social "trap" is begun.

The purpose of this study was to create an inservice training packet promoting collaboration between teachers and paraprofessionals providing students with serious behavior disabilities a positive …

Faculty Development And Changing Environments Of The Urban Campus, Debrah Jefferson, Susan Peverly

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Literature about the urban campus indicates that traditional, full-time faculty who teach and engage in scholarly, creative work, or research may need to shift to more applied and community-oriented service programs. Hence, the role of faculty development is changing because the issues facing the urban university are changing. These changes are prompted by the unique growth and development within the neighborhood of urban-based campuses. Pressure from the communities to make the campuses more community oriented, along with growing concern for the nature and quality of instruction, help foster change. Campus administration concerns about the institution becoming a "good" neighbor by …

Improving Students' Critical Thinking Outcomes: An Process-Learning Strategy In Eight Steps, S. Kay A. Thornhill, Melissa Wafer

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This article describes an eight-step strategy through which students learn to critically analyze situations that they have encountered in their clinical practice. The method was derived from Stephen Brookfield's four components of critical thinking and his suggestions for themes that relate to nursing culturalization. The approach used to develop this model has implications for educators in all fields because it illustrates a method for integrating the learning of critical thinking processes with their real-world applications.

Academic Narratives: What's The Story?, John Countryman

Journal of the Association for Communication Administration

This article investigates the relationship between narrative behavior and the conduct of academic programs. In everyday parlance, the term narrative assumes a wide range of meanings from the most all-embracing to the most singular. Narrative informs the identity and behavior of individuals, institutions and societies. In fact, narrative is the principal agency whereby individuals, institutions and societies are constituted in the first place. Organizational narratives are as prevalent in academic settings as elsewhere. One such narrative is the sort that embraces the organization's life-story.

A Handbook For Honors Administrators, Ada Long

National Collegiate Honors Council Monographs

Honors administrators are singular creatures on their own campuses. Deans have other deans, vice presidents have other vice presidents, but honors directors are one of a kind. Often they have more in common with their presidents than with anyone else on campus in that they are responsible for a huge array of tasks: recruitment, admissions, scholarships, fundraising, curriculum development, advising, student life, crisis management and public relations; but, while college presidents have administrators to whom they delegate those various responsibilities, an honors director often does them all personally.

This handbook is intended, therefore, to serve as an on-campus companion and …
