An Investigation Of The Merits Of Wellness Programs For Colleges And Universities : A Look At Developing The Whole Student, Kent Eugene Harfst

Graduate Research Papers

Wellness programs have become increasingly important in colleges and universities. This is a result of the development of the "whole" student concept that stresses: intellectual development: moral and spiritual development: development of the relationship between college students and faculty; and the relationship with people outside the academic community. Today, college student personnel have realized the importance of adding the physical well-being to this whole student concept. Wellness programs offer the college student the opportunity to improve their physical and mental capabilities. The University of Northern Iowa, along with other higher educational institutions, has developed wellness programs to help students realize …

College Student Personnel Services During The Expansionist Period 1812-1862, Daniel Henderson

Graduate Research Papers

Higher education in the United States can be divided into four distinct periods: The Colonial from 1630-1780, early Federalist from 1780-1812, Expansionist from 1812-1862, and the post Civil War period (Leonard, 1956).

Development Of A Discipline Plan For Secondary Schools, Gary Lee Ross

Graduate Research Papers

Lack of discipline has consistently been cited as one of the most serious problems confronting the public schools. Gallup and Elam (1989) cited the lack of discipline In schools as the second most important problem facing the local public schools behind the use of drugs. School boards, parents, teachers, and administrators all seem to be dissatisfied with discipline in schools.

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Randy Alan Mead

Graduate Research Papers

Close examination of the area of education clearly reveals that one must be considerate of many crucial areas. Society has become global in nature and people come from a very heterogeneous background. Analysis of documents regarding goals for U.S. schools reveals a steady evolution from the narrow academic skills to a far wider array of concerns (Goodlad, 1983b). One very important piece of knowledge to be internalized concerning education, is that it is a very complex institution. There seems to be no panacea on the horizon that individuals can begin to implement that will have a significant effect upon this …

Anorexia Nervosa: A Family Systems Perspective, Mary Tonkin

Graduate Research Papers

Anorexia Nervosa is primarily a disorder of the adolescent female. According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-111-R) (American Psychiatric Association, 1987), the age of onset is usually early to late adolescence (12-18), although it can range from prepuberty to the early 30s (rare) with a gender-specific psychopathology of 95% female. The cardinal feature of anorexia is the relentless pursuit of thinness, often leading to life-threatening weight loss. This pursuit of thinness becomes associated with intense fears about eating, gaining weight, getting fat, and losing control over food intake. A mortality rate between 5% and 18% is …

Benefits Of Preschool On At-Risk Student Achievement, Marilyn L. Ward

Graduate Research Papers

Historically, education has been a vehicle by which individuals improved their chances for a more productive and personally satisfying life. When the studies of the effects of early childhood education began in the 1960s, the basic question under investigation was, "Does preschool education make a difference in the lives of children?" Fears at that time were that preschool would be harmful to the development of children and to their relationship with their families.

Focus Area One: Coordinating Services Between Schools And Agencies [Myers], Marlene K. Meyers

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

Schools and service agencies work with at-risk students who come from a wide variety of family backgrounds. "At risk" is an extremely broad term and encompasses a wide variety of student needs. "At-risk" students can be defined as those who are at risk of not getting what they need in life to help them succeed. These can be students with family economic hardships, unmet emotional needs, those who are physically abused, students with learning, physical or mental disabilities, also those who have cultural disabilities. On a broader scale, one could say students are at risk if they do not question, …

Issue Four: Coping With And Addressing Racism In Our Educational Institutions [Jackson], Clemmye Jackson

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

No other institution has held more promise for Black Americans than education. From the beginning, Blacks have always believed in education for themselves and for their children; and from the beginning, education has been the most denied institution. Even the abolitionists of the 1800s doubted that Blacks were educable in the true sense of the word. Thus, Black literacy was far less a priority than the move westward and the search for raw materials to aid the Industrial Revolution. Both the Southerner and the Northerner agreed that an educated Black would be a rebellious and dissatisfied Black, unacceptable in either …

The Seriously Ill Child: A Case Study Of Communication Change In An Acquired Culture, Willard A. Underwood, Janice M. Underwood

Iowa Journal of Communication

In 1977 our youngest child was born with a life-threatening, heart defect. For the first 18 months of life, until corrective surgery, family relationships were redefined as responses to specific and immediate needs of that son. After surgery, family behaviors remained adapted for the requirements of living with a handicapped person. This article is an examination of the acquired culture thus imposed upon family, friends and associates, and is divided into three sections: an overview of communication and culture, identifying the role of intercultural analysis to this problem area; an analysis of eight cultural variables identified by Porter and Samovar …

Peer Coaching And The Role Of The Principal, Scott Dwayne Cakerice

Graduate Research Papers

The 1980s were subjected to pressures for educational reform. Many of these pressures were in direct relationship with the publication of "A Nation at Risk" in 1983. The preparation and training of teachers received the most attention in the reform movement. Many state agencies implemented new programs such as merit pay and career ladders. Today, another wave of reform is underway. The emphasis is now focused on restructuring schools. Educational leaders are now interested in improving the teaching profession. The leaders of state agencies and administrators want environments that help teachers and students grow to the greatest extent possible. This …

Meeting Iowa School Accreditation Standards Through Sts Science, John B. Cook

Iowa Science Teachers Journal

The National Science Teachers Association (NSTA) has declared that the goal of science education" ... is to develop scientifically literate individuals who understand how science, technology and society influence one another and who are able to use this knowledge in their everyday decision-making" (NSTA 1982). Strategies aimed at achieving this goal have been endorsed and promoted by a variety of groups. Yet, in many Iowa schools, the science curriculum is driven by traditional textbooks that emphasize narrow academic goals. Iowa school accreditation standards list specific requirements for the science program in grades 1-12. In addition, seven horizontal infusion areas must …
