Use Of Response To Intervention In Social, Emotional And Behavioral Domains: A Meta-Synthesis, Hannah Ragland

MAT in Special Education

The use of Response to Intervention (RTI) was formalized with the passage of revisions to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in 2004. This reform bill provided Special Education programs direction on an emerging approach to assess and recommend students for special education services, RTI. The intent of RTI was to address concerns with the previous model of Special Education qualification for learning disabilities based on discrepancies in IQ achievement. The discrepancy model gave clear criteria for identifying students with special needs, but quickly became known as the “wait to fail'' model. Rather than delaying identification of students with …

Parent-Teacher Partnership: Diagnosing The Divide: A Meta-Synthesis, Jennifer Martin

Special Education Masters Program Theses

Relationships between educators and parents are a requirement of IDEA 2004. Often these interactions have been characterized by misunderstanding, tension, and parents’ contentions that teachers do not have the best interests of their child as a focus. This causes a divide in the parent-school relationship. As times have changed, this divide has as well…it has grown. So what are the reasons that the divide continues to grow? What causes parents to distrust teachers and schools or become un-involved in their child’s education? What causes teachers to distance themselves from parents? What can we do about it? This meta-synthesis delves into …

An Anger And Aggression Group For Third And Fourth Grade Students In A Rural School Setting, Heather Ley

Counseling

Children deal with anger in many different ways when they are growing up. Many children do not realize that anger is an emotion that needs to be expressed, and it can be done so in a number of positive, constructive ways. This project that resulted in an anger and aggression group for third and fourth grade students in a rural school setting can help children understand why it is so important to understand emotions of anger and learn how to express these emotions positively. The literature suggests by assessing children at a younger age, if parents/guardians, families, counselors and other …

Utilizing Animal Assisted Interventions In Elementary Schools, Catherine E. France

Counseling

Animal Assisted Interventions in the elementary school counseling setting involves the school counselor choosing to bring in an animal, commonly a dog, to assist in counseling interventions with a student. The counselor uses the dog as a tool to build a secure and trusting rapport with the student. The counselor is the facilitator of the session; the dog is used in a variety of ways to increase and aide in the benefits of the counseling session. This project illustrates the positive impact of the human-animal bond, the steps necessary to bring animal assisted interventions into a school, and the theoretical …

Continuing Care Groups: Long Term Treatment Of Substance Use Disorders, Olivia Foote

Counseling

Substance use disorders are chronic diseases that affect individuals, families, and communities. These illnesses frequently require several courses of treatment to achieve abstinence. Inpatient chemical dependency treatment, followed by continuing care, increases abstinence rates regardless of the interventions used within the continuing care program. The largest barrier to successful continuing care programs appears to be patients' attendance and participation. This project aims to create a continuing care program that focuses on increasing patients' attendance adherence in order to support them through their first year of recovery.

Community Engagement Through Service-Learning, Maureen Barry

University Libraries' Staff Publications

Community engagement and libraries go hand-in-hand. Our communities are vital to our very existence. For academic libraries, serving students, faculty and staff is their primary role, and the immediate campus is often the community with which the library engages most often. But new roles, such as service-learning (S-L), provide meaningful opportunities for the library to connect with the surrounding communities and regions.

Success By The Plateful: Rates Of Successful Vocational Training In Adjudicated Youth, Rebecca Swarm

Collection of Engaged Learning

The United States has one of the highest rates of juvenile incarceration in the world. Once sentenced to a detention center, it is increasingly likely that a person will spend the rest of their lives rotating in and out of the correctional system due to high recidivism rates. This cycle is not only a financial burden on the state and federal systems but it is also harmful to incarcerated individuals, families, and neighborhoods. Youth Village Resources of Dallas and Café Momentum attempt to break this cycle of recidivism through vocational training pre-and post adjudication. Positive changes in attitudes and beliefs …

Examining The Death Penalty Insider Perspective: Capital Bench & Bar Interviews, Sherri Dioguardi

Qualitative Criminology (QC)

"This study conducted semi-structured interviews with 27 death penalty insiders (9 capital judges, 9 prosecutors and 9 defense attorneys) across three states. Prior research examined whether knowledge of capital punishment correlates with death penalty support (the Marshall Hypothesis). While prior research focused on opinions of laypeople, this study interviewed those with direct, hands-on experience to explore the knowledge-based, insider perspective. The majority (80%) of interviewee-respondents did not believe the death penalty is necessary in light of Life without the Possibility of Parole as an available sentencing option, and 62% did not support capital punishment. Qualitative data analysis reveals a wealth …

Pathways From Caregiver Problematic Substance Use To Child Harm: A Secondary Data Analysis Of The National Survey Of Child And Adolescent Well-Being Ii, Kristen D. Seay

All Theses and Dissertations (ETDs)

Caregiver problematic substance use is a prevalent problem within the child protective services (CPS) system that is associated with negative outcomes for children. Utilizing path analysis models, this dissertation deepens our understanding of the direct and indirect (mediating and moderating) pathways from caregiver problematic substance use to indicators of child harm in two CPS populations: all families investigated for maltreatment (Aim 1) and a sub-group of families in which the children remained in the home after the investigation (Aim 2). Data for these analyses came from the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being II (NSCAW II), a landmark, longitudinal …

Flash In The Pan: Cross-Class Cooperation In 1916 Iron Range Strike, Ryan Driskell Tate

Retrospection & Respect: The 1913-1914 Mining/Labor Strike Symposium of 2014

In the Iron Range Strike of 1916, working-class wives picketed alongside their husbands in a conflict-ridden and dangerous setting. Mine deputies abused immigrant women on the picket lines and in their homes, with several disquieting reports receiving statewide attention in Minnesota. Many middle-class reformers in the Twin Cities grew sympathetic to the plight of northern mining families and became controversially involved the labor struggle. Some middleclass women worked alongside working-class wives and radical organizers from the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). At the center of this gendered analysis is the cross-class cooperation between an upper-middle class woman, Lenora Austin …

Experience In Clincal Judgment: Do We Get Better Or Worse?, Lois Pilipis Phd, Paul M. Spengler Phd

Great Lakes Regional Counseling Psychology Conference 2014

We sought to the test the robustness of a past meta-analysis (Spengler et al., 2009) covering literature from 1970 to 1996 finding a small effect of d = .12 for the relation between clinical and educational experience and the accuracy of clinical decisions and judgments. Culling more recent literature from 1997 to 2010 assessing the decision made by 6,685 clinicians we found nearly the same reliable effect of d = .16 (CI = .05 to .26). These combined findings suggest that counseling and other psychologists do not improve much in their decision-making regardless of more education or clinical experience. …
