Preventing Teen Relationship Abuse And Sexual Assault Through Bystander Training: Intervention Outcomes For School Personnel, Katie M. Edwards, Stephanie N. Sessarego, Kimberly J. Mitchell, Hong Chang, Emily A. Waterman, Victoria L. Banyard

Nebraska Center for Research on Children, Youth, Families, and Schools: Faculty Publications

The purpose of the current study was to examine the impact of exposure to Bringing in the Bystander—High School Curriculum (BITB-HSC) on school personnel, which included a seven session classroom curriculum for ninth through twelfth graders (student curriculum), a bystander training workshop for school personnel (school personnel workshop), and reading materials (handout). We examined how exposure to these various BITB-HSC intervention components was associated with school personnel’s knowledge and bystander efficacy, intentions, and barriers specific to student relationship abuse (RA) and sexual assault (SA).

Homeschooling, Mercedes Palos

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects

Without knowledge how would our brains be able to grasp the meaning of any given concept? Education is a very powerful tool that a child needs to know in order to succeed in life. Knowledge can be developed through different processes whether it be home based or in a public school setting. My research focuses on the pros and cons of both sides, and looks into what parents consider when deciding how their child is being taught. Parents should take into account their child's personal qualities, psychological and physical abilities, and their behavioral patterns to understand what would best fit …

Mass Incarceration In America, Angelica Aranda Fregoso

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects

Mass incarceration is describing how the U.S. continues to incarcerate parts of its population into jails and federal prisons. This is important because it not only affects one person, but it could and will eventually affect a whole community as a whole. It has been found that single parent households, families living in poverty, and minorities have a higher possibility of being victims to mass incarceration.

Child Abuse Doesn't Just Affect Them Now, Christopher Nguyen

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects

Child abuse has lasting effects that can lead up and into adulthood, leaving scars mentally and physically on their bodies and mind. More than six- hundred thousand cases are reported by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and people need to know what abuse can affect and alter a person for the rest of their life. According to McQueen multiple forms of child abuse can lead to many behavioral issues such as depression, anxiety, and disassociation in both childhood and adulthood. I believe that it is important for people to know that abuse isn't some type of punishment, …

The Failure Of The Foster Care System, Victor Machado Berrios

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects

On paper, the foster care system is a very noble concept. It is a place where unlucky children can lead better lives than what they had before being taken in. Too bad that is not the case. Involvement in the foster care system often results in children with mental health issues, trauma from abusive foster placements, and no support system in place once they age out of the system. For the sake of these kids, it is important that the government increases its funding for foster care as soon as possible.

Christian Connections, Adrian Melgoza

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects

This project explored the many different ways Christianity connects to various topics and how Christianity is doing in the modern times. The main topics included how Christianity connects to science, America, and the modern day. Research has shown that Christianity had significant impact on the early days of modern science, with many great scientists being Christian themselves. America’s foundation was heavily based on Christianity, such as laws and the society at the time. But, now that Christian influence that once was, has decreased a considerable amount and worldwide Christian persecution is at an all time high.

Struggles Of Female Immigrants, Karina Pedroza Sotelo

Nebraska College Preparatory Academy: Senior Capstone Projects

John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath and T.C. Boyle’s The Tortilla Curtain both that immigrating women face gender oppression, poverty, and historical problems in the hopes of a better life. Being at the bottom of the social hierarchy, immigrant women know more than anyone else the desire for the American Dream and the hope of a prosperous family. Though sticking out until the very end for some immigrant women, thanks to social prejudice, the American Dream will stay out of reach. Further research should be done to analyze the consequences of hindering women and their children from the American Dream
