Analyzing Student Credits, Don R. Hush, Elias S. Lopez, Wisam Al-Doroubi, Tushar Ojha, Brianne Santos, Kevin Warne

Electrical & Computer Engineering Technical Reports

This report describes methods for decomposing student credits into three categories: applied, unusable, and excess where applied credits count towards the student's degree requirements, unusable credits do not count towards any degree requirement, and excess credits exceed one or more degree requirement specifications. These methods enable multiple types of analysis including student progress assessment, student planning (i.e. helping the student determine the best path forward), credit efficiency analysis (i.e. quantifying the number of applied versus unusable and excess credits), transfer credit analysis (i.e. determining the utility and efficiency of transfer credits), and requirement analysis (i.e. determining the types of requirements …

Hip-Hop History: Grades 9-12 Local History Curriculum, Sivia K. Malloy

Instructional Design Capstones Collection

As the founders and trailblazers mature, and sadly depart this life, a new generation is left behind with limited to no knowledge of the influence hip-hop has on current popular culture locally, nationally, or internationally. Research for this learning intervention determines what and how local hip-hop history incorporates into a social studies/history course with high school (9-12 grade) students, bridging local stories to the national and international trends and events of the past. Informal discussions took place with local hip-hop subject-matter experts throughout the northeast region of New England with ties to Massachusetts. Their recommendations were to wrestle with the …

Diminishing The Doubts: A Mental Health Education Initiative, Megan Breier, Joey Sidoti

ONU Student Research Colloquium

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, poor mental health and suicide rates amongst people ages 18-25 years old continues to increase. Given these statistics, it is reasonable to assume that mental health education needs to be implemented during regular school hours. It is imperative that students understand the warning signs of poor mental health prior to entering higher education or entering the workforce. By creating an Online Mental Health Resource Archive (OMHRA) filled with resources (i.e. infographics, podcasts, TED Talks, etc.), participants have a central location to browse resources and educate themselves about mental health. The …

Partners In Leadership: Training The Next Generation Of Executive Leaders, Sherry Hoyle, Jeremy Spielman

Journal of Organizational & Educational Leadership

Like other states, South Carolina has experienced a shortage of educators at all organizational levels within its school districts. Given this dynamic and the relatively limited opportunities for practitioners to earn advanced degrees, several South Carolina institutions of higher education banded together to form a consortium that would provide additional opportunities for educators to earn the degree of Educational Specialist (EdS) with the potential to seamlessly complete doctoral studies. This consortium partnership resulted in a new doctoral program and new EdS programs, all based on the principles of the Carnegie Project on the Education Doctorate (CPED). The synergy that unfolded …

The Role Of Context On Leadership Transition: Building To District-Level Leadership, Samuel Fancera

Journal of Organizational & Educational Leadership

The purpose of this inquiry was to understand how a building-level leader utilized context-responsive leadership practices to facilitate the transition from a building to district-level school leadership position. I used qualitative research methods to study the context-responsive leadership of a first-year assistant superintendent who transitioned from the principalship in the same school district. This study’s main finding indicates the leadership experiences attained as a school principal are valuable preparation to understand the external and internal school contextual factors, and to conduct the duties and tasks associated with this district-level leadership position. The paper concludes with a discussion of the results …

Journal of Organizational & Educational Leadership

With the adoption of such initiatives as No Child Left Behind (NCLB), Common Core State Standards (CCSS), and the College and Career Readiness Performance Index (CCRPI), there is increasing pressure for students to meet and exceed performance expectations. This is easier said than done, especially given that not all organizational structures are helpful to student performance. A quantitative, correlational study was done to determine the relationship between school organization and school performance within Georgia schools. Subgroup comparisons between high and low performing schools were included in analyses. Results showed that high organizational effectiveness was associated with high student performance outcomes. …

Letter From The Editors, Mitch Porter, Walter Hart Ed.D.

Journal of Organizational & Educational Leadership

The position of school superintendent has become far more complex than when it was first introduced in Buffalo, New York in 1837. Reform efforts of the 1980’s shifted the focus of the role to student achievement, even though a host of managerial responsibilities related to finance, human resources, transportation, building maintenance, and public relations remained. More recently, superintendents have been expected to also address an array of societal issues, including diversification of students and staff, increased governmental mandates, the explosion of technology, and the globalization of society. Sadly, these multi-faceted demands have occurred in a context of shrinking resources. Through …
