No Pass, No Play: Perceptions Of Texas High School Administrators, W. Scott Clark

Student Work

For decades, there has been a continuous debate regarding the effect that school related activities have on their participants in later life. Some educators believe that school activities are a laboratory of the school curriculum and produce positive traits like leadership, self-esteem, and social and emotional development (Walter and Smith, 1986). However, many educators feel that activities (i.e. athletics) are too predominant in the educational process (Miller, 1985).

Student Feedback On Teacher Effectiveness For The Purpose Of Improving Instruction, Gary R. Noerrlinger

Student Work

Since elementary students have an opportunity to view their teachers in a variety of situations and circumstances throughout the school year, the students have the potential to provide teachers with valuable feedback. This source of information on teacher performance has received very little attention at the elementary school level. The major focus of the study was to examine student feedback on teacher effectiveness and those factors which might influence student feedback.

An Evaluation Of The Pilot Appraisal System Adopted By The Omaha Public Schools, Sharon M. Watts

Student Work

Currently, teacher evaluation is a dominant educational concern. Articles dealing with the problems and solutions to the evaluation of teaching reveal the extensiveness of the problem. There are complaints from teachers regarding the specifics of evaluation such as: too many administrative visits, too few administrative visits, insufficient feedback after the evaluation, lack of administrative understanding of the curriculum, lack of time for the teacher to correct the problems identified and of opportunity for teacher improvement. There are also complaints from administrators. These complaints include the lack of time to make observations, lack of understanding of the teacher's goals and lack …

This impact of parental divorce on childrens' adjustment has become the concern of many educators. Family life and childhood socialization has been continually redefined due to this marital disruption phenomenon. Since the structure of the contemporary American· family, composed of mother, father, and children has changed, educators need to be aware of the special needs and adjustments necessary for the children.

The purpose of this study was to determine by a survey if children from single parent homes were perceived in a more negative way, by their teachers, than children from intact homes. If children from single parent homes were …

Parent And Teacher Perceptions Of The Importance And Effectiveness Of An Individual Education Program, Thomas Morinelli

Student Work

In 1975, Congress passed the Education of All Handicapped Children Act (P.L. 94-142) which had profound effects on the provision of special education services to handicapped children. The law mandated that every student identified as handicapped be provided with an individual education program (IEP). The IEP was to be developed in a meeting attended by a representative of the local educational agency, the child's teacher(s), parents of the child, and, when appropriate, the child. The individualized education program plan is to contain statements of the child's current level of performance, annual goals and short-term objectives, the specific special education services …

Writing has always been one of the corners tones of American education . Schools are concerned with the development of students, and writing contributes to the development of the whole person. The public is alarmed because many students graduate from high school without being able to write well enough to function in today's complicated society.
