The Effects Of Financial Aid On College Student Persistence, John Paul Wageman Jan 1994

The Effects Of Financial Aid On College Student Persistence, John Paul Wageman

Graduate Research Papers

Student enrollment is of paramount importance to most colleges' and universities' financial stability, particularly private institutions which rely heavily on tuition revenue. Some colleges and universities have invested in costly recruitment strategies to increase enrollment. Many institutions, however, view student retention as the most cost-effective means of stabilizing enrollment (Moline, 1987; Tinto, 1987). Student retention is an obvious goal for all institutions of higher education.


A Vision Of Middle School Leadership, Steven J. Kwikkel Jan 1994

A Vision Of Middle School Leadership, Steven J. Kwikkel

Graduate Research Papers

I take a moment to look at my watch and everything seems right on schedule. It's 7:59 a.m. and the date is August 25, 1994, the first day of teacher workshops! A letter sent out three weeks ago to the 14 faculty and four staff members I will be working with assures me that all will be present for our first formal building meeting. Materials I had prepared during the months of June and July to prepare for the upcoming year are sitting ready to be picked up by what I have been told is one of the most "dynamic" …


Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder And The Vietnam Veteran: Indentification Of Symptomatology For The Mental Health Professional, Jo Ellen C. Kubik Jan 1994

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder And The Vietnam Veteran: Indentification Of Symptomatology For The Mental Health Professional, Jo Ellen C. Kubik

Graduate Research Papers

The war in Vietnam has left enormous emotional scars on America (Goderez, 1987). One facet of this tragedy is the fact that there are more than 500,000 Vietnam Veterans who are suffering delayed war stress (Goodwin, 1980). These veterans experience bad dreams, insomnia, uncontrollable anxiety, and depression. Often they are tormented with flashbacks. Many are afflicted by drug and/or alcohol addictions. Collectively, these stresses contribute to the fact that the Vietnam veteran's risk of suicide is 23% greater than is true for the general American population (Blair & Hildreth, 1991; Goodwin, 1980; Shore, 1986).


A Personal Vision For Administering Elementary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Bonnie Lenz Jan 1994

A Personal Vision For Administering Elementary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Bonnie Lenz

Graduate Research Papers

To develop a vision for administration of the elementary school, one must first articulate one's vision for the school itself. In considering the role I might take as a principal, I must begin by questioning the school's purpose, structure and direction. Sergiovanni (1992) advanced the view that schools exist for a purpose, and leadership behaviors or organizational structures that do not enhance that purpose are ineffective and meaningless. Our purpose is to educate students. Does the school's structure support and its leadership point in the direction of offering the best possible education to all children?


Conflict Resolution, Donnette Ann Abbott Long Jan 1994

Conflict Resolution, Donnette Ann Abbott Long

Graduate Research Papers

Almost every day children experience some type of conflict with their peers. As counselors and educators, many of us are concerned about a lack of classroom harmony and inadequate interaction and conflict resolution skills among our students. This paper explains some of the definitions, causes, and developmental issues of conflict. It will also explain some of the conflict resolution styles children use. Various conflict resolution programs and the implications for counselors and educators will also be explored.


Campus Community: Linking Student Affairs And The Professoriate, Jeffrey Loy Josua Mitchell Jan 1994

Campus Community: Linking Student Affairs And The Professoriate, Jeffrey Loy Josua Mitchell

Graduate Research Papers

The term community has many definitions and is used to describe a broad range of groups, events, and relationships that exist in different forms, at different degrees of development and maturity, and with differing values and expectations. It is used to describe towns and neighborhoods, groups, and relationships. Most college campuses view the larger community as a group of smaller communities such as, fraternities and sororities, cultural and ethnic populations, sporting events, and gatherings for special celebrations. Some higher education communities exist at a very superficial level and some have great depth and commitment. Some make new members work to …


A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Jodi S. Dorn Jan 1994

A Preferred Vision For Administering Secondary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Jodi S. Dorn

Graduate Research Papers

Education in America is changing. This paper will explore the role an administrator plays in developing a shared vision, empowerment, school-community relations, staff development, the hiring process, and in dealing with social problems.· "All principals are instructional leaders, since all principals inevitably influence what students have an opportunity to do in the classroom" (Donmoyer, 1990, p. 27). Administrators should be the facilitators of teachers. It is important to be the kind of principal that teachers can trust to implement changes. A principal's purpose is to nurture and develop better teachers. A critical part of the job is to help all …


Therapeutic Implications Of Parental Bereavement, Tracey R. Bishop Jan 1994

Therapeutic Implications Of Parental Bereavement, Tracey R. Bishop

Graduate Research Papers

The loss of a loved one is a tragedy disproportionate from any other for many people. Most individuals experience the pain from losing someone very important to them during their lifetimes. Because of the large number of people it affects, the intensity of the loss experience, and the systematic variations with which its consequences are distributed across populations, bereavement has far-reaching implications (Stroebe, Stroebe, & Hansson, 1993). Due to this inevitable fact, many mental health care professionals have shown an increased interest in death and dying issues over the past 20 years (McClowry, Davies, May, Kulenkamp, & Martinson, 1987; Rando, …


Group Therapy For Bulimics: Implications For School Counselors, Kelly Ann Clark Jan 1994

Group Therapy For Bulimics: Implications For School Counselors, Kelly Ann Clark

Graduate Research Papers

" Although our society has become increasingly preoccupied with eating and weight, it is only relatively recently that publicity has been given to eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia" (Hendrick, 1985, p. 275). For purposes of this paper, the author is only going to deal with bulimia. Bulimia has primarily been a concern among college-age women, but over the past decade the prevalence of the disorder has increased dramatically among adolescent females (Omizo & Omizo, 1992). The increasing incidence of bulimia warrants concern for those professionals working with adolescents, such as school counselors and therapists in private practice …


Selected Factors Contributing To Major Depression In Women, Jewel E. Cooper Jan 1994

Selected Factors Contributing To Major Depression In Women, Jewel E. Cooper

Graduate Research Papers

An estimated 10 million Americans suffer from depression of one sort or another at a cost of some $27 billion a year in loss of work productivity, permanent disability, depression related alcohol and drug abuse, and the actual costs of treatment (Rovner, 1992). But Americans are ill at ease, ill-prepared and ill-informed about how to deal with depression. According to Rovner, a survey by the National Institute of Mental Health found that more than half of those polled believe depression may be linked to personal or emotional weakness.


The Need For Financial Management Counseling As A College And University Student Service, Beth J. Dennison Jan 1994

The Need For Financial Management Counseling As A College And University Student Service, Beth J. Dennison

Graduate Research Papers

Year after year, thousands of eager, apprehensive, and frightened high school graduates become college freshmen. A common bond unites this diverse group. For all, college is a time to establish independence and demonstrate responsibility. Along with academic responsibilities and training for a career come personal responsibilities and training for life. It is important for students to establish good habits during these developmental years in preparation for their futures as college graduates exposed to the world of work and career professionals exposed to a series of lifetime changes and challenges. Even a top of the class graduate can only achieve so …


A Preferred Vision For Administering Elementary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Rodney D. Earleywine Jan 1994

A Preferred Vision For Administering Elementary Schools: A Reflective Essay, Rodney D. Earleywine

Graduate Research Papers

The responsibilities of a principal are limitless; ranging from teacher evaluations to student discipline and from building maintenance to school budgets. A principal is not only responsible for his/her own actions, but is responsible and held accountable for the conduct of all teachers, support staff and maintenance personnel that are under his/her supervision. School administration must be one of the most challenging careers that one can persue [sic]. Presently the occupation of a school principal is moving through a transformational period based on research that advocates a style of leadership that better suits and can better serve the complex, everchanging …


What Is An Effective Leader?: A Reflective Essay, Diane M. Fisken Jan 1994

What Is An Effective Leader?: A Reflective Essay, Diane M. Fisken

Graduate Research Papers

What is leadership? Wiles & Bondi (1986) describe leadership in the following way: Leadership is an approach, a way of working with people within an organization to accomplish a task. Persons in supervisory roles must understand the conditions of an organization, possess a vision of what can be done to improve that organization, and interlock the behaviors of others with that organization's structure. (p.26) In their studies, Hersey & Blanchard (1976) have found that: Over the last few decades, people in the field of management have been involved in a search for a "best" style of leadership. Yet, the evidence …


A Vision For Leadership In The Elementary School: A Reflective Essay, Margaret L. Frey Jan 1994

A Vision For Leadership In The Elementary School: A Reflective Essay, Margaret L. Frey

Graduate Research Papers

As I sat anxiously waiting for the interview with the personnel director, I found my mind going through a mental checklist. I had carefully selected a navy blue "power suit" that was simple, yet professional. My hair, nails and make-up were done with discretion. The jewelry I had selected complimented the suit. I definitely emulated the "look" of a professional. But the "look" wasn't nearly as important as the values that I believed so strongly in--the values that brought me here.


A Preferred Vision For Administering Schools: A Reflective Essay, Joseph F. Deutsch Jan 1994

A Preferred Vision For Administering Schools: A Reflective Essay, Joseph F. Deutsch

Graduate Research Papers

My first encounter with the prospect of becoming a principal happened quite by chance in the spring of 1988, during a post-evaluation conference with my principal. After our formal discussion, we talked about the future. He commented to me that I should go to graduate school and enter the principalship. I immediately laughed his suggestion off, first by making light of principals in general, then letting him know that I could not imagine myself sitting in the principal's chair. He ended our conversation by mentioning why I would be right for the principalship and to give his suggestion serious consideration. …


Patterns Of Self-Esteem In Adolescent Girls, Carol Hedberg Jan 1994

Patterns Of Self-Esteem In Adolescent Girls, Carol Hedberg

Graduate Research Papers

Research on adolescent females suggests that many factors contribute to their self-esteem (Coopersmith, 1967; Gilligan, Brown, & Rogers, 1990; Rosenberg, 1965). According to this research, certain factors can dramatically affect females' self-esteem scores (Coopersmith, 1967; Gilligan et al., 1990; Greenberg-Lake, 1992; Rosenberg, 1965). These characteristics include the developmental stage of adolescence (Coopersmith, 1967), relationships with peers and adults (Rosenberg, 1965), gender identity and moral development (Gilligan, et al., 1990), and, finally, school success (Coopersmith & Feldman, 1974). The recent research on gender identity (Gilligan et al., 1990; Greenberg-Lake, 1992; Miller, 1986), however, seems to point to a difficulty that adolescent …
