Specialists Coaches Coordinators Oh My Looking Back And Looking Forward On The Roles And Responsibilities Of Specialized Literacy Professionals, Jacy Ippolito Dec 2018

Specialists Coaches Coordinators Oh My Looking Back And Looking Forward On The Roles And Responsibilities Of Specialized Literacy Professionals, Jacy Ippolito

Jacy Ippolito

When we think about adult professional work in schools, the role of the classroom teacher looms large. From the one-room schoolhouses of the 19th and 20th centuries in the United States, to modern comprehensive high schools filled with thousands of students, teachers have been the single constant across a wide variety of school structures. Research has made clear that teacher quality is one of the most significant factors in determining student learning outcomes (Darling-Hammond, 2000). Recently the RAND Corporation (2018) made the statement that "Teachers matter more to student achievement than any other aspect of schooling" (para. 2). This notion …

Leadership Challenges In The Sustainable Internationalization Of A Medium Scale State University Located In The Usa: A Case Study, Babu George, Jaylen Adams, Jennifer Hopkins

Babu George

Universities have always been international in the sense that the very nature of knowledge imparted by them does not know national boundaries. The connection between university and universalism is self-evident. However, internationalization as an operational expansion of particular universities beyond national boundaries is a relatively new phenomenon. This case presents some of the leadership challenges associated with the internationalization of a medium scale teaching oriented State university located in the West Coast United States. For this university, the priority for internationalization has moved from the fringes to the very core, bring with this a range of challenges and opportunities. The …

The Influence Of Racial Identity On White Students' Perceptions Of African American Faculty, Kathleen Neville, Tara L. Parker Dec 2018

The Influence Of Racial Identity On White Students' Perceptions Of African American Faculty, Kathleen Neville, Tara L. Parker

Kathleen Neville

Due to the under representation of African American teachers and college faculty, students have limited to no interaction with Blacks as authority figures in the classroom. When White students in particular face African American faculty in class, they often exhibit negative attitudes and inappropriate behavior. Using racial identity development and critical race theory, we seek to understand how White college students perceive African American professors and from where those perceptions stem. In considering the social and educational context in which students live, our study explores the ways White students perceive Black professors and how students' racial identity development influences their …

The Influence Of "Accessibility Cues" On Students' Engagement And Interactions With African American Faculty, Kathleen Neville, Tara L. Parker Dec 2018

The Influence Of "Accessibility Cues" On Students' Engagement And Interactions With African American Faculty, Kathleen Neville, Tara L. Parker

Kathleen Neville

This phenomenological study examined the perceptions and experiences of 22 traditional aged
students when their African American faculty used “accessibility cues” in the classroom. Examples
of “cues” include; encouraging students to actively participate in class, evaluate an assignment, or
share personal experiences related to the class topic. Students perceive this form of active pedagogy
as an indicator that the faculty member is willing to engage outside the formal classroom
environment (Wilson, Woods, & Gaff, 1974). Results of in depth interviews with the students in this
study, reveals that when faculty use these “cues” in the classroom, students felt respected, valued, …

Predicting Educators’ Use Of Twitter For Professional Learning And Development. Education And Information Technologies, Fei Gao

Fei Gao


This paper proposes and tests a conceptual model of educators’ Twitter adoption for professional learning and development based on technology adoption model and related literature. To understand the factors that may affect educators’ adoption of Twitter for professional learning and development, a questionnaire was designed and administered to 305 participants with the majority (88.5%) being 31 or older to measure the research constructs. A structural equation model was constructed to examine the relationships among factors that affect this adoption process. The results suggest that the research framework integrating multiple perspectives provides a comprehensive understanding of educators’ intention and actual use …

The Test-Retest Reliability Of The Missouri Adaptive Behavior Inventory, Tracy Lang

Tracy Lang

The present study was designed to determine the test-retest reliability of the Missouri Adaptive Behavior Inventory (MABI), a new measure of independent functioning and learning currently in development. The MABI consists of 10 subtests administered to the examinee and an informant. Fifty individuals were administered the MABI on two separate occasions; the average interval between tests was 20 days. Overall, correlations between the first and second administrations indicated good test-retest reliability.  Confidence bands for each subtest were also generated.  Finally, study limitations and implication for MABI test development are discussed.

The Role Of Technology In Teaching And Learning Chinese Characters, Hong Zhan, Hsiu-Jen Cheng Dec 2018

The Role Of Technology In Teaching And Learning Chinese Characters, Hong Zhan, Hsiu-Jen Cheng

Hong Zhan

Chinese characters have been an obstacle preventing the development of Chinese proficiency for learners of Chinese whose native language does not have characters. A substantial literature review identified linguistic, pedagogical, and political factors as causes of those difficulties. Tone changes represent different meanings of a word. Compound characters include the phonetic component radicals that do not always sound the same as the phonetic radicals. These unique linguistic features of the Chinese language add even more challenges for learning of Chinese as a foreign language (CFL). Technology integration has been found to facilitate the teaching and learning foreign languages in many …

Choosing The Right Kind Of Accreditation For A Business School: A Comparison Between Aacsb, Acbsp, And Iacbe, Babu P. George

Babu George

This paper offers a comparison of the accreditation standards of three CHEA and US Department of Education recognized business school program accreditation agencies - AACSB, ACBSP, and IACBE. It also discusses the relative challenges and benefits of achieving accreditation by these agencies. While the choice for business schools is often not very clear and is a long drawn negotiated process involving different interest groups, this paper will nevertheless offer some basis of comparison among the accreditation agencies. The author draws heavily from his own personal experiences leading accreditation efforts in various US based and international b-schools and proposes the merits …

Preservice Secondary Mathematics Teachers' Perceptions Of Proof In The Secondary Mathematics Classroom, Gregory S. C. Hine, Kristin Lesseig, Kaleinani S. Boardman

Gregory S.C. Hine

Despite the recognized importance of mathematical proof in secondary education, there is a limited but growing body of literature indicating how preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) view proof and the teaching of proof. The purpose of this survey research was to investigate how PSMTs in Australia and the United States perceive of proof in the context of secondary mathematics teaching and learning. PSMTs were able to outline various mathematical and pedagogical aspects of proof, including: purposes, characteristics, reasons for teaching, and imposed constraints. In addition, PSMTs attended to differing, though overlapping, features of proof when asked to determine the extent …
