Administrative Field Experience, Office Of The Superintendent, Atwood-Hammond Community Unit School District No. 39, Atwood, Illinois, James E. Morgan
Administrative Field Experience, Office Of The Superintendent, Atwood-Hammond Community Unit School District No. 39, Atwood, Illinois, James E. Morgan
Masters Theses
Since the major role of superintendent of schools is to be the liaison between the board of education/community and the faculty, it is important to understand the philosophy of each group. Research reveals that the superintendent is the pivotal person in public relations for all parties involved with the schools. The superintendent relays board policy to the district employees and has the responsibility of explaining these policies to the community. One interesting factor determining the responsibilities of the superintendent is school size. In small schools the focus is directly upon the superintendent of schools, but in larger schools the superintendent …

Evaluating School District 428'S Curriculum Media Development Center's Clientele, Randolph H. Burge
Evaluating School District 428'S Curriculum Media Development Center's Clientele, Randolph H. Burge
Masters Theses
The Curriculum Media Development Center was conceptualized by the Illinois Office of Education and Vocational Services and the Illinois Depaartment of Corrections to meet the need for specially developed instructional materials in reading and math for Title I students being served by School District 428. The project began in 1974 and was located at the Illinois Youth Center, St. Charles. However, during 1979, it became apparent that because of its location in Kane County, the Curriculum Media Development Center was providing services primarily to those institutions in the northeast quadrant of Illinois. In January of 1980 the decision was made …
Common Person Equating With The Rasch Model, Geoff Masters
Common Person Equating With The Rasch Model, Geoff Masters
Prof Geoff Masters AO
Two procedures, one based on item difficulties, the other based on person abilities, were used to equate 14 forms of a reading comprehension test using the Rasch model. These forms had no items in common. For practical purposes, the two procedures produced equivalent results. An advantage of common person equating for testing the unidimensionality assumption is pointed out, and the need for caution in interpreting tests of common item invariance is stressed.

A Comparison Of Latent Trait And Latent Class Analyses Of Likert-Type Data, Geoff Masters
A Comparison Of Latent Trait And Latent Class Analyses Of Likert-Type Data, Geoff Masters
Prof Geoff Masters AO
This paper brings together and compares two developments in the analysis of Likert attitude scales. The first is the generalization of latent class models to ordered response categories. The second is the introduction of latent trait models with multiplicative parameter structures for the analysis of rating scales. Key similarities and differences between these two methods are described and illustrated by applying a latent trait model and a latent class model to the analysis of a set of 'life satisfaction' data. The way in which the latent trait model defines a unit of measurement, takes into account the order of the …

Fnma Mortgage Commitments As Put Options: An Empirical Examination, Thomas Berry, Adam Gehr
Fnma Mortgage Commitments As Put Options: An Empirical Examination, Thomas Berry, Adam Gehr
Thomas D Berry
The Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) auctions commitments to purchase mortgages. An examination of the terms of the commitment contract shows that these commitments are actually put options on mortgages. The contract is unusual, however, in that the price of the commitment is a fixed percentage of the value of the mortgages. In the auction, the dealers effectively bid the exercise price at which they would be willing to pay the fixed commitment price. In this paper, we study the economics of the FNMA auction. We use a two-state approximation to the American put pricing model for interest-dependent securities to …
