Considering Student Writing From The Perspective Of Parents In One Rural Elementary School, Kathy Brashears Nov 2008

Considering Student Writing From The Perspective Of Parents In One Rural Elementary School, Kathy Brashears

The Rural Educator

This article explores the perspective of parents regarding their elementary children’s writing in one rural, elementary school. During the research, thematic strands emerged indicating that parents may value their children’s writing for purposes that differ from the purposes deemed appropriate by the school. Upon interviewing 30 parents/guardians, the following codes materialized identifying elements that contribute to the parents’ perspectives.

Administrators believed conducting the focus groups themselves brought more benefit than if they had hired a consultant, because of the interaction with community members. The result was a …

Adolescents And Teachers As Partners In A School-Based Research Project To Increase Physical Activity Opportunities In A Rural Community, James Rye, Nancy O'Hara Tompkins, Darlene Mcclure, Jacqueline Aleshire

The Rural Educator

Through a University-community partnership, teachers and adolescents in a rural West Virginia county with one of the highest obesity rates in the state developed a school-based research intervention to increase physical activity opportunities. The intervention included walking routes, educational sessions, and pedometers. A survey about barriers to physical activity revealed that “lack of willpower” was a barrier of concern among program participants (mostly school employees) and had a statistically significant (p = .0033) pre to post mean score decrease during the year …
