An Investigation Of The Responsibilities Of Secondary Principals Serving Shared And Nonshared Superintendents, Dale E. Greimann

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

In 1981-82, two school districts in the state of Iowa shared one superintendent; in 1985-86, 10 districts shared five superintendents; by 1991-92, 116 school districts reported sharing 58 superintendents. Studies on the shared superintendency suggested that role overload accompanied the position and that superintendents reacted to the increased workload by delegating responsibilities, often to building principals. The primary purpose of this study was to determine if there were significant differences in the perceived responsibilities of Iowa secondary principals serving shared superintendents and Iowa secondary principals serving nonshared superintendents. In addition, the study determined if significant relationships existed between Iowa and …

Focus Area Six: Creating Partnerships With The Private Sector To Support Children [Wegenke], Gary L. Wegenke

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

"Paradigm has become a buzz word for the theorists of the emerging world," writes Lance Morrow in his Time Magazine essay, "Old paradigm, new paradigm," the article continues, "People in business schools, in think tanks, use paradigm as a sort of reality thresher-a way of comparing past and present, an implement for sorting out history at a moment of tumbling global change."

Educators are caught in the middle of the dilemma of change in our nation's educational system. With today's students on one side and the private sector on the other, the drama begins. The general theme is this: Prepare …

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Susan Newman Cleveland

Graduate Research Papers

As I read these lines from A Tale of Two Ci ties, a novel about the French Revolution, I am struck with the fact that they could have been written about the state of American education today. When the "Nation at Risk" report came out in the early 80' s, it spoke of the ills of American education, and offered an abundance of "cures" in the way of strong suggestions. The report itself aroused consternation for the most part in the eyes of the American public, a public largely in favor of the sweeping reforms that were offered by this …

Focus Area Four: Providing Continuity Of Service For Highly Mobile Children And Families: Facilitator's Summary, Linda A. Fernandez

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

High mobility-frequent change of residence and/or school-is an indicator of a child at risk, or potentially at risk. Frequent mobility may be a symptom of conditions that contribute to at-risk behaviors, but the effects of high mobility compound the problems confronting at-risk children. The causes and effects of high mobility of families and children need to be examined to determine what social services need continuity, the most efficient and effective methods of increasing continuity of services, and what deterrents must be removed to provide the continuity.

Issue One: Curriculum That Adequately Addresses The Concerns And Needs Of People Of Color In Education [Winter], Floyd Winter

Institute for Educational Leadership Monograph Series

In addressing this topic my thoughts immediately turn to the recent emphasis on school transformation or restructuring. Most professional educators would agree the 1983 Nation At Risk Educational Reform Report placed a great deal of emphasis in furthering academic achievement in American public schools. At the same time, it is generally agreed the Nation At Risk and other educational reform reports of the mid-1980s focused on a top down approach to solving the perceived problems of American education.

Newspapers In The Classroom: Why Should Educators Use Them?, Lisa M. Stone

Graduate Research Papers

The purpose of this literature review is to learn 4 why educators should use newspapers in their classrooms. Are newspapers educational tools that can be easily used in the classroom for building skills? How difficult is it to incorporate them into the content areas? Can newspapers be used to help develop global awareness? How can newspapers promote critical thinking? Is the main goal of the Newspapers in Education program, to develop informed and concerned citizens (Skover, 1983; Rhoades & Rhoades, 1985), being met through the use of newspapers in the schools? And finally, what research evidence is there to support …

A Survey And Analysis Of Potential Uses Of The Computer In The Social Studies Classroom, Mike Healy

Graduate Research Papers

The computer has become an integral tool in education. In math classes, in business education classes, in computer literacy classes, the computer is a well-accepted tool of instruction. However, computers have been slow to enter most Social Studies classrooms, including my classroom. Should the computer be used in the Social Studies classroom? What would be an effective use of computers in the classroom? Would the computer be the best tool for that unit of instruction?

"Ego, Scriptor Cantilenae": The Cantos And Ezra Pound, Steven R. Gulick

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

Can poetry "make new" the world? Ezra Pound thought so. In "Cantico del Sole" he said: "The thought of what America would be like/ If the Classics had a wide circulation/ Troubles me in my sleep" (Personae 183). He came to write an 815 page poem called The Cantos in which he presents "fragments" drawn from the literature and documents of the past in an attempt to build a new world, "a paradiso terreste" (The Cantos 802). This may be seen as either a noble gesture or sheer egotism.

Pound once called The Cantos the "tale of the …

Resolving The Paradox: Thomas Merton, Antipoetry, And The Language Of Silence In The Geography Of Lograire, Barbara J. Hemann

Dissertations and Theses @ UNI

The paradox in Thomas Merton's life, that of being both poet and priest, has often been studied. Merton himself was torn by this paradox, the need to keep his vow of silence and the need to express himself through language. It is this paradox, the paradox of language and silence and how Merton resolves it in antipoetry, that is examined in this study. Antipoetry provides an answer to many paradoxes Merton finds in his life. Merton, in his autobiography The Seven Storey Mountain, first believed that one must reject the world to embrace God, but later in his life recants …
