The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of school staff members regarding the use of data to …

Developmental Strategies And Styles And Their Measurement, Wenyu Bai
Developmental Strategies And Styles And Their Measurement, Wenyu Bai
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
Developmental styles and strategies (DSS) are preferences and repeated patterns in intentional self-development. A taxonomy of DSS based on the convergence of talent development and Sternberg's Triarchic Model of Intelligences was proposed to distinguish school learners, street learners, talent developers (specialists), and all-knowers (generalists). This study explored the reliability of the researcher-developed Educational Developmental Style and Strategy Scale, the relationships of age, gender, birth order, ethnicity, and SES to developmental DSS adoption, and the characteristics of five types of DSS adopters (i.e., street learning specialists, street learning generalists, school learning specialists, school learning generalists, the neutral group). Eighty out of …

Retention Of Novice Teachers: A Study Of Factors That Affect Their Decisions To Stay, Kimberly Dawn Handley
Retention Of Novice Teachers: A Study Of Factors That Affect Their Decisions To Stay, Kimberly Dawn Handley
Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects
An issue of growing importance in the field of education is the retention of novice teachers. Current statistics indicate that new teachers are leaving the field at an alarming rate, providing much cause for concern (Billingsley, 2004; Graziano, 2005; Ingersoll & Smith, 2003). Since the current demand for educators stems partly from growing attrition rates of teachers, especially those within the first five years of their careers, schools must begin making concerted efforts to improve forms of assistance offered to novices in hopes of increasing retention (National Commission on Teaching and America's Future, 2003). School systems have been experiencing difficulty …
