An Analysis Of A District-Led Leadership Seminar On The Dispositions Of Certified Staff Members, Michael J. Rupprecht
Student Work
The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not a district-led, grow-your-own leadership seminar had a significant impact on the dispositions of its members compared to staff members who did not participate in the program.

Furthermore, content knowledge, based on cumulative grade point averages calculated upon completion of all …

To compare perceptions of dispositions, 79 teaching pairs of student teachers and cooperating teachers of an urban Midwestern university completed the Teacher Disposition Index (Schulte, Edick, Edwards, & Mackiel, 2004).
