The capstone focuses on the work completed by the stakeholders that are the most affected by the success of these documents.

This paper explores the importance of multiple factors in the digital marketing of dance organizations. Idaho's only professional ballet company, Ballet Idaho, is used as a case study to determine which marketing strategies are the most beneficial. Cross-referencing tactics from other dance organizations, this research aims to determine how companies can market their more abstract performances, include dancer perspectives in their content, and take advantage of peripheral cities in order to increase their audience-base.

A Study Of Incarcerated Youth: The Effect Of Student Interest On Reading Comprehension And Engagement, Joanna C. Weaver, Grace E. Mutti
A Study Of Incarcerated Youth: The Effect Of Student Interest On Reading Comprehension And Engagement, Joanna C. Weaver, Grace E. Mutti
School of Teaching and Learning Faculty Publications
Motivating adolescents to read can be a challenge, but motivating incarcerated adolescents to read may be even more of a challenge. Developing readers in residential facilities are often overlooked by traditional classroom teachers, but much can be learned from incarcerated youth and their motivation and engagement. Unfortunately, there is a shortage of research on effective instructional reading practices that motivate and engage incarcerated youth. The existing research primarily examines the impact of literacy on recidivism instead of strategies for motivating and engaging students who are incarcerated. Numerous studies exist that focus on motivation and engagement of reading in traditional classrooms, …

Management and Organizational Studies Publications
This research examinesthe role ofpersonality traits beyond the Five-Factor Model (FFM) frameworkin predicting pro-environmental values and behaviors. A sample of 410participants completed personality scalesand reported both their environmental values and the extent to which they had engaged in a series of pro-environmental behaviors in the preceding 24 hours. Small positive correlations were found between environmental values and behaviors with integrityand femininityand negative correlations with religiosity. Overall, the results show limited evidence supporting the personality dimensions measured in predicting pro-environmentalvalues and behaviors.Implications of the findings are discussed.
Feminine Hygiene Kits For Girls/Women Worldwide, Deseret Lauree Lazarte
Feminine Hygiene Kits For Girls/Women Worldwide, Deseret Lauree Lazarte
IPS/BAS 495 Undergraduate Capstone Projects
Through research and personal experience I found that there is a disparity for girls and women throughout the world when it comes to a natural occurrence for females, called menstruation. For the sake of brevity, I will use the general term “girls” though I mean to include women, also. In many countries girls don’t understand this monthly feminine process and don’t have the proper equipment to use. In many countries girls are taught wives’ tales on why women menstruate. Because of this they perpetuate the falsehoods to their girls and this leads to insecurities and shame. They also do not …

Serving Synergy: A Service-Learning Capstone, Rochelle A. Wright
IPS/BAS 495 Undergraduate Capstone Projects
For my capstone project I chose to work with the non-profit organization Women’s and Children's Alliance in Boise, Idaho. I worked with the community to provide much needed items. In order to collect donations I reached out to the community and received so much support that we were able to provide help to two other non-profit organizations the City of Lights, and Dress for Success. I was able to help organize my community to come together and provide a service to the more vulnerable in our community.

Making Connections: Marketing Ideas For Interpreters, Steve Mcdermott
IPS/BAS 495 Undergraduate Capstone Projects
There is a need for skilled interpreters to meet the needs of the increasingly diverse communities. Many get into the field of interpretation and translation in order to assist those with language barriers, as well as earn a living for themselves. The interpreters get into the field not realizing that to succeed they also need an entrepreneurial spirit. These entrepreneurial linguists are classified as independent contractors, as such they are responsible for the business aspects of their livelihood. This includes marketing themselves in order to grow their client base. Marketing can be a daunting task in itself. In speaking with …
Action Capstone: United Standby Travel Handbook, Danaya S. Kinikini
Action Capstone: United Standby Travel Handbook, Danaya S. Kinikini
IPS/BAS 495 Undergraduate Capstone Projects
This project sought to answer the question, how might I create a travel handbook for airline employees to better utilize their travel privileges and improve morale? The handbook was broken down into three parts: resource how-to guide, standby travel handbook, and Facebook group. The airline industry saw an unprecedented busy summer travel season following the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns. Senior employees were finding themselves burnt out and new employees were overwhelmed with the workload due to short staffing levels. Many new employees were leaving for better compensated jobs. Stakeholders identified were United, management, and employees. If employees can utilize their travel …
Reversing The Aging Of The Skilled Trades Workers, Adam C. King
Reversing The Aging Of The Skilled Trades Workers, Adam C. King
IPS/BAS 495 Undergraduate Capstone Projects
For the past several decades there has been a prevalence of promoting the need for everyone to obtain at least a bachelor's degree to be able to have a successful career. This had led to a lack of interest of the younger generations in entering the skilled trades as a career. The result of this is that the average age of workers in the trades keeps increasing and as the boomer generation has retired there are not enough capable replacements entering the workforce. Having enough workers in the skilled trades is imperative to keeping the country moving forward by building …

Junky To Healthy, Ashley V. Stegall
IPS/BAS 495 Undergraduate Capstone Projects
Eating healthy is not always easy. In fact it can be quite challenging especially if you think you are alone. A support group is a great way to feel like you are not alone. This is not your average support group. Since I am a little rough around the edges, you could say the support group is too. It does have structure because I want it to succeed but people can yell, scream, cuss and throw squishy balls at the wall.
Service-Learning "Planning For Retirement" Presentation, Tyler E. Tisdale
Service-Learning "Planning For Retirement" Presentation, Tyler E. Tisdale
IPS/BAS 495 Undergraduate Capstone Projects
This project sought to understand the reasons/variables for the lack of participation in planning and saving/investing for retirement by the younger generations that are a part of the current workforce. The problem was defined, and the approach was to create a presentation that established the foundational knowledge for retirement investing among high school students (the individuals who are just about to enter the workforce). The presentation was made, along with a short survey, and sent out to high school teachers in Idaho and Texas. The results presented that there is a fundamental lack of knowledge with regards to the subject …

Teaching Multicultural Literature In The College Classroom, Jordan K. Fleming
Teaching Multicultural Literature In The College Classroom, Jordan K. Fleming
Selected Honors Theses
Due to a lack of research on the topic and events of 2020, this thesis aims to learn how professors teach multicultural literature to traditional undergraduate students and how students respond to these courses. I focus on pedagogical scholarship that notes the structure, challenges, and impact of teaching this genre in K-12 and higher education classrooms. My conclusions provide educators with a repertoire of teaching strategies, materials, and student feedback to help students critically respond to living in a multicultural nation and world. These conclusions also lessen a gap in research, as there is significantly less published information on teaching …
Framing Strikes: A Case Study Of Media Depictions Of Two Teacher Strikes, Jamie Gillespie
Framing Strikes: A Case Study Of Media Depictions Of Two Teacher Strikes, Jamie Gillespie
NERA Conference Proceedings 2021
In this study, I examined the media framing of teachers strikes in Chicago in 2012 and in Seattle in 2015 by analyzing depictions of the people, issues, and events involved in the months before, during, and after the strikes in local media outlets. My findings indicate that the overwhelmingly negative coverage of teachers and their union in Chicago may have impacted the less successful negotiations outcomes, while the mostly positive coverage of teachers and their union in Seattle may have played a role in the more successful negotiated agreement between teachers and the school district.

Visualization Of The Digital Divide Among K-12 Students: Open Data, Quantitative Measures, And Policy Implications, Cary K. Jim, Alison Grant, Brent T. Ladd
NERA Conference Proceedings 2021
Our work utilized a multi-disciplinary approach to assess the digital divide among K-12 students through socio-technical and economic analysis. Results show that access to high-speed internet (broadband) and use continued to be a challenge for children and schools located in disadvantaged communities. Three visualizations were developed to display the digital disparity at the county level across our country and to support decision-making in resource allocation to improve broadband access and utilization.
Mindset Predicting Mindfulness: Developing Professional Capacity, Jess L. Gregory
Mindset Predicting Mindfulness: Developing Professional Capacity, Jess L. Gregory
NERA Conference Proceedings 2021
This paper examines the quantitative relationships between mindset and mindfulness in educators and considers how these data might inform strategies used in professional development. Until very recently, mindset and mindfulness were studied only independently of each other even though the theory authors, Dweck and Langer, inhabited similar geographic and temporal spaces. This study, based on 110 educator, self-reported, responses collected over six years, found a statistically significant relationship between a more incremental mindset and higher scores on the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire. Mindfulness was found to predict mindset more strongly than mindset predicts mindfulness.
Language Minority Students Identified For Special Education: Predictors And The Role Of Parent Engagement, Angela Klinger
Language Minority Students Identified For Special Education: Predictors And The Role Of Parent Engagement, Angela Klinger
NERA Conference Proceedings 2021
This study investigated predictors of special education identification among language minority (LM) students by fifth grade using data from the ECLS-K:2011. Predictors included fifth-grade reading performance, student mobility, and school percentage of students receiving free and reduced-price meals. Behavior was a stronger predictor of special education identification for non-LM students than for LM students in second and third grades. Leading predictors of special education identification among LM students indicated that efforts should be focused on early reading intervention, equitable screening in low-income school communities, culturally relevant behavioral assessments, and increased monitoring of LM students who change schools.
Is Servant Leadership Just For Western Cultures? Complexities, Gaps, And Challenges, Samuel Chaise
Is Servant Leadership Just For Western Cultures? Complexities, Gaps, And Challenges, Samuel Chaise
Journal of Applied Christian Leadership
Servant leadership was originally proposed as an ethical way of leading and has become a near-synonym for Christian leadership. This is problematic, however, because cultures with differing “power distance” vary regarding their view of the ethical use of power in leadership. Further, most of the research and writing on servant leadership has been conducted in Western, professionalized cultures. This article proposes that the way servant leadership is currently being conceptualized is not applicable to all cultural settings, which may mean that there are other “Christian” ways to lead.
