Alternative High School Scheduling: A View From The Teacher's Desk, John Pisapia, Amy Lynn Westfall Jan 1997

Alternative High School Scheduling: A View From The Teacher's Desk, John Pisapia, Amy Lynn Westfall

MERC Publications

in 1995, the Metropolitan Educational Research Consortium (MERC) commissioned a study of alternative high school scheduling models to determine the effects of different high school schedules on teaching strategies, teacher, and student satisfaction, and student and school performance. Specifically, it was hypothesized that block schedules would (1) improve teacher classroom and work behavior, (2) improve the working conditions for teachers and students, and (3) improve student and school outcomes. This paper presents the first report of the data. It presents the results of the analysis of the survey administered to teachers, students and administrators in the Spring of 1995. The …


The Integration Of Academic And Vocational Education, John Pisapia, Earl Riggins Jan 1997

The Integration Of Academic And Vocational Education, John Pisapia, Earl Riggins

MERC Publications

Vocational and academic education in U.S. high schools became separate entities around the turn of the century. Academic education has historically conisted of courses including English, history, mathematics, science, foreign languate, and fine arts. Such an education prepares studens for further education at the college or university level. Such an education may be supplemented with courses which familiarize students with the uses of technology. Occupational skills trining hs not been a component of academic education. Traditionally, vocational education has focued on specific skill training for entry-level jobs by offering students training in occupationally specific areas. While a large number of …


Alternative High School Scheduling: Student Achievement And Behavior Research Report, John Pisapia, Amy Lynn Westfall Jan 1997

Alternative High School Scheduling: Student Achievement And Behavior Research Report, John Pisapia, Amy Lynn Westfall

MERC Publications

In 1995, the Metropolitan Educational Research Consortium (MERC) commissioned a study of alternative high school schedules to determine their effects on teaching strategies, teacher and student satisfaction, and student and school performance. Two previous papers emanating from this study reported the views of teachers and students regarding alternative schedules in twelve high schools utilizing different scheduling alternatives to address. This paper uses commonly collected statistical data, and survey and interview responses from those same schools to determine the impact of alternative schedules on student achievement and behavior.


Conceptual And Empirical Bases Of Conjoint Behavioral Consultation, Susan M. Sheridan Jan 1997

Conceptual And Empirical Bases Of Conjoint Behavioral Consultation, Susan M. Sheridan

Department of Educational Psychology: Faculty Publications

This article describes “conjoint behavioral consultation,” a model of service delivery that addresses the shared responsibility among school personnel, families, and other important systems in educational problem solving. The conceptual background (incorporating ecological- systems and behavioral theories) and important features of the model are reviewed briefly. Findings from a number of empirical studies, including outcome studies, case studies, process research, and acceptability research, are reviewed. Directions for future research are also explored.


The State Department Of Education's Role In Creating Safe Schools, Marilyn Grady, Bernita Krumm, Mary Ann Losh Jan 1997

The State Department Of Education's Role In Creating Safe Schools, Marilyn Grady, Bernita Krumm, Mary Ann Losh

Department of Educational Administration: Faculty Publications

The authority for public education in the United States does not stem from the Constitution, but rather is a "reserved" power remaining with the states. It originates from the Tenth Amendment, which reserves to the states those powers neither expressly given the national government nor denied to the state governments. However, most states have not exercised their authority for public education directly until recent decades. Education is a state function that is largely locally administered (AIkin, Linden, Noel, & Ray, 1992). Each state exercises it education function completely or in part through a state department of education that has varying …


Practice Teaching In Remote Aboriginal Communities: The Need For Adaptation To The Social And Cultural Context, Gary Partington Jan 1997

Practice Teaching In Remote Aboriginal Communities: The Need For Adaptation To The Social And Cultural Context, Gary Partington

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

As part of the teacher education program at Edith Cowan University, a small group of student teachers experience teaching practice in remote Aboriginal communities. In this paper, student teacher perceptions of their experiences on such a practice are presented to illustrate the influence of the practice on their views about teaching Aboriginal children. Through an investigation of journals written during the practice, it is apparent that students had considerable difficulty adapting their teaching to the context in which they were working, particularly in relation to the different cultural and social demands of the situation.


Attacking The Articulation Problem In Teacher Education, Robert G. Barker, Shelleyanne Scott, Beverly Showers Jan 1997

Attacking The Articulation Problem In Teacher Education, Robert G. Barker, Shelleyanne Scott, Beverly Showers

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

A continuing challenge for preservice teacher education is the articulation between initial training and subsequent practice. This study investigated the effect of a fully elaborated training model on the transfer of complex teaching strategies into the practice of first year graduates. A cohort of 30 graduates was followed through their first year of full time teaching to determine the frequency and appropriateness of their use of two complex teaching strategies, Concept Attainment and Inductive Thinking (Joyce and Weil, 1996). Although only some 10% of inservice teachers transfer new learning into their active teaching repertoires without workplace support for their new …


The Practice Of Beginning Teachers: Identifying Competence Through Case Writing In Teacher Education, Brenda Cherednichenko, Neil Hooley, Tony Kruger, Rose Mulraney Jan 1997

The Practice Of Beginning Teachers: Identifying Competence Through Case Writing In Teacher Education, Brenda Cherednichenko, Neil Hooley, Tony Kruger, Rose Mulraney

Australian Journal of Teacher Education

Competent teachers display common attitudes and behaviours, yet it is apparent to those who attempt to categorise teachers' work, attitudes and behaviours that the identification of competence is extremely complex. This article suggests a rationale for demonstrating competence through case writing. Case writing documents and provides examples of student teachers and beginning teachers at work in teaching and leaming situations. These examples of teaching and learning are part of a portfolio of cases of teaching and learning which student teachers, teachers and teacher educators working within the Department of Education at Victoria University have developed. These collections provide 'snapshots' of …
