Igniting A Spark In "Dead-Eyed" Youth, Thomas Peterson, Mileigh Rabun, Rebecca Gaylor, Thomas Parmer, Stephanie Love

National Youth Advocacy & Resilience Conference

Far too many youths, known as being “high-risk,” are not faring well at life and in school. To accompany this problem, most educators lack the ability to effectively respond to these youths. Motivated by a desire to provide educators and those working with youth at risk with a much-needed alternative to emotionally draining conventional classroom cultures, our intent is to move beyond the deforming rhetoric of behaviorism and lay claim to moral and spiritual foundations that bring both groups together in a setting that promotes a culture of dialogue, openness, trust, and caring.

"It's My Closest Friend And My Most Hated Enemy": Students Share Perspectives On Procrastination In Writing Classes, Jennifer Gray

Journal of Student Success in Writing (Archived)

This article presents the results from an IRB-approved study that researched student perspectives on procrastination. Qualitative and quantitative data from over 200 surveys administered to first-year writers illustrated multiple reasons why students procrastinated, and these reasons are much deeper than a strong desire to do something else. Results indicated that when students perceived a lack of engagement with their topic (whether the engagement was actually there or not), they were more likely to procrastinate. In addition, students who had fewer choices in their writing assignments, such as topic choices or format choices, were more likely to procrastinate and avoid the …

Letters From A Gifted Educator In Georgia, Heather Holley

College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations

This dissertation is a collection of letters from me as I explored the significance of the current standardized curriculum milieu on gifted learners’ educative opportunities in a public elementary school. The inquiry drew information of gifted learners’ characteristics and educative, affective, and social needs from the works of Gagné (Gagné, 1985, 2000, 2005), Renzulli and Renzulli & Reis (Reis & Renzulli, 1997, 2010; Renzulli, 1986, 2012; Renzulli & Reis, 1997). I also drew from Gallagher (2000, 2003, 2004, 205, 2015) and Sapon-Shevin (1996, 2003) for information on the political implications of gifted education. The study employed currere(Pinar & Grumet, …
