Multicultural Competence In The Supervisory Relationship: An Inclusive Model, Carmen M. Mccallum Lmsw, Ph.D., Amy Wilson Ph.D.

NYS Child Welfare/Child Protective Services Training Institute

As the United States continues to become increasingly diverse, the number of underrepresented populations being served by child welfare agencies is also steadily increasing. Children of color comprise 33 percent of the children in the United States but represent over 55 percent of children in the child welfare system (Detlaff, 2015; Pew Commission, 2014). Therefore, in addition to being concerned about child safety, well-being and permanency, agencies must also be concerned with the cultural issues that arise when working with diverse populations (Nathaniel, Howze & Prince, 2009). Empirical evidence confirms that the race of a child and their family has …

The Mediating Impact Of Student Self-Efficacy: An Examination Of Vocational And Academic Perceptions Among Students In Living-Learning Communities, Michael Palumbo

Higher Education Administration Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of Living-Learning Communities on first-year students at a large Mid-Atlantic university.
