Question 2 analyzed the level of agreement between teachers and students perceptions of levels of implementation of formative assessment strategies. Finally, Question 3 investigated the relationship of the disciplines teachers taught; the amount and kinds of professional development teachers had; and district urbanicity relative to teacher levels of implementation of formative assessment strategies.

Are Household Income, Gender, And Race Important In Shaping Parental Involvement In Children’S Education?, Nicholas D. Hartlep, Antonio L. Ellis

NERA Conference Proceedings 2010

The authors used data from the National Household Education Surveys (NHES) Program 2007 Parent and Family Involvement in Education Survey (National Center for Education Statistics, 2007) (N=10,681) to examine household income, gender, and race of parents, and their importance in shaping parental involvement in children’s education.

Ethical Dilemmas For The School Counselor: Balancing Student Confidentiality And Parents’ Right To Know, Nithya N. Iyer, Julia Baxter-Macgregor

NERA Conference Proceedings 2010

Professional School Counselors have a variety of roles and responsibilities to students, teachers, parents, and administrators. School counselors collaborate with both the students and other stakeholders – in this case, usually parents and teachers. Consultation and collaboration with stakeholders can be carried out through team meetings or child study teams, with all relevant parties present. Such gatherings, while beneficial to everyone involved, can potentially bring about ethical dilemmas for school counselors. This article examines the function of child study teams, the counselor’s role as consultant within the team, and what ethical issues might arise in this role. Recommendations for avoiding …

The Challenge Of Teaching Ethics In Technology, Barbara Rosenfeld

NERA Conference Proceedings 2010

This paper investigates some of the ethical issues related to being a good
digital citizen and keeping users safe in an online environment. Parents and
educators should teach their children about the dangers of cyberspace as
well as the beneficial aspects of being able to access many resources and
communicate with others. The trend toward using electronic communication
devices both in and out of the school environment is one that many
educators embrace, but key issues must be addressed to maintain both
physical safety and good mental health.

Developing Efficacy Beliefs In Preservice Teachers, Cheryl J. Gowie

NERA Conference Proceedings 2010

The development of efficacy beliefs in undergraduate preservice secondary teachers was studied over a two-year period to determine whether certain instructional practices associated with mastery experience, vicarious experience, social persuasion, and emotional state support increased efficacy beliefs. Using The Teacher Efficacy Scale: Short Form (Woolfolk and Hoy, 1993), year 1 data were collected only at the conclusion an Educational Psychology course; year 2 data were collected at the beginning and end of the semester, allowing for investigation of change in beliefs. Instructional practices are examined as potential influences on the development of efficacy beliefs.

Evaluating Programs Serving High-Risk Populations: Challenges And Recommendations, Gavrielle Levine, Peter Swerdzewski

NERA Conference Proceedings 2010

Grant-supported programs, particularly those sponsored with government funds, are required to include a rigorous evaluation as part of the proposal and project implementation to demonstrate program effectiveness. Ironically, programs that serve high-risk populations are often at an inherent disadvantage with regard to conducting rigorous program evaluations since this unique population does not lend itself to accepted program evaluation standards and practices. Consequently, these programs often do not receive the funding needed to provide useful programs for high-risk populations. The New York City-based RESOLVE abstinence education program will be used as a running example to discuss challenges and recommendations that are …

Helping Urban Teachers Help Students Read Science: A Partnership, Margaret Lally Queenan

NERA Conference Proceedings 2010

Eighty percent of fourth graders in a Northeast school had not met the
NCLB reading “goal.” Research questions asked: Will comprehension
strategies move students toward proficiency, and will a
researcher-teachers collaboration support that effort? Data included
student artifacts, student interviews, discussion transcripts, researcher
lesson plans, and field notes. Data were analyzed through coding and
constant comparison. Surveys confirmed that students learned comprehension
strategies; student writing confirmed that they learned content. However,
only 38% reached “proficiency” on standardized tests. Comprehension
strategies were necessary but not sufficient for reading. Guided reading
increased intensive instructional time but reduced time for learning
content.

Leisure Studies And Spirituality: A Christian Critique, Paul Heintzman

Movement and Being: The Journal of the Christian Society for Kinesiology, Leisure and Sports Studies

Conceptual discussions of leisure have often had spiritual overtones or linked leisure with spirituality. The links between the two concepts are becoming widely recognized and discussed in a wide range of leisure studies areas: therapeutic recreation, camping, recreational land management, outdoor recreation, tourism, and community recreation. Increasingly empirical research is being conducted on this relationship. Christians respond in a variety of ways to the increased social scientific interest in the relationship between leisure and spirituality: for some Christian spirituality is the only true spirituality; some compartmentalize or dichotomize spirituality; some believe non-Christians experience spirituality; some believe that spirituality reaches its …

Limitations Of The Knee Society Score In Evaluating Outcomes Following Revision Total Knee Arthroplasty., Elie Ghanem, Ian Pawasarat, Adam Lindsay, Lauren May, Khalid Azzam, Ashish Joshi, Javad Parvizi

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery Faculty Papers

BACKGROUND: Traditionally, the results of revision total knee arthroplasty have been determined with use of surgeon-based measures such as the Knee Society rating system. Recently, outcome and quality-of-life measures have shifted toward a greater emphasis on patient-based evaluation. The aim of our study was to determine the validity and responsiveness of the Knee Society rating system compared with the Short Form-36 health survey (SF-36), Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC), and a four-question 4-point Likert scale satisfaction questionnaire following revision total knee arthroplasty.

METHODS: A total of 152 patients underwent revision total knee arthroplasty at our institution, between …

Leisure In The Life Of The 21st Century Black Church: Re-Thinking The Gift, Steven N. Waller Ph.D.

Movement and Being: The Journal of the Christian Society for Kinesiology, Leisure and Sports Studies

Scholarship devoted to examining the role that leisure plays in the life of the Black Church is lacking. Leisure is an important facet of congregational life in African American churches and permeates congregational dynamics on multiple levels. The purpose of this essay is to examine leisure in the life of the Black Church and posit how a healthy, theologically accurate understanding of the value of leisure can help with health and wellness promotion, community-economic development and church growth. The Black Church is defined as the eight historically Black denominations: African Methodist Episcopal, African Methodist Episcopal Zion, Christian Methodist Episcopal, Church …
