The results were analyzed using linear regression statistics to determine (a) gender and professional orientation effect on the factors of school culture, and (b) if factors of school culture had an effect on student success in the elementary school.

Manitoba Women And Higher Education: Momentum To Stay The Course, Carolyn Crippen, John R. Mccarthy

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Her education is the same as that of a man ... she is able to unfold and exercise her mental powers and faculties. She chooses her occupation in such a way as corresponds with her wishes, inclinations and natural abilities, and she works under conditions identical with man's. Even if engaged as a practical working woman on some field or other, at other times of the day she may be educator, teacher, or nurse, as yet others she may exercise herself in art, or cultivate some branch of science, and yet others may be filling some demonstrative function. She joins …

Review Of Women In Higher Education An Encyclopedia. Ana M. Martinez Aleman And Kristen A. Renn, Editors., Jean M. Haar

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Women have constituted a majority of students in American colleges and universities since 1979. Women earned more than half of all associates, bachelors and masters degrees and more than one-third of all doctorates (Touchton & Davis, 1991). Even with these numbers, the study of women in higher education has often been overlooked (Glazer, Bensimon, & Townsend, 1993). Women in Higher Education: An Encyclopedia atones for overlooking "almost entirely women's role as shapers and interpreters of the academy" (Glazer et al., p. ix). The editors have created a comprehensive source of information and resources related to women in higher education in …

Emerging From The Academic Pipeline: Senior Women Faculty Members, Florence A. Hamrick

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Twenty-six women with professor rank at a large, public, research extensive university were interviewed for this study in which respondents discussed the meanings and significance associated with full professorship. Major themes included: the promotion event and the accompanying title of professor, anticipated and actual changes in their status and working conditions, and their identities, goals, and contributions as professors. Conclusions address issues such as dilemmas of senior professorship, effective participation in institutional governance, and progress of women through the faculty ranks.

Two Profiles Of Women Community College Presidents, Melinda Rhodes

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

This study focuses on the narratives of two women leaders, one of whom continues to work as a community college president and another who made the transition from a community college presidency to the directorship of a continuing education division of a large, state research university. The women were first interviewed in 2000 when they discussed their own career characteristics and views of women presidency leadership issues. At that time, one was considering accepting a post leading a northwest community college undergoing drastic changes in mission, goals and target student population. She served as that college's president in 2002.

Title Ix: Boom Or Bust?, Marilyn J. Mather

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Athletics has been significantly impacted by Title IX through an increase the number of female athletes, the number of teams available, and indirectly, the development of women's professional leagues. However, women in leadership positions in athletics have declined significantly since Title IX was signed into law. A concern about the discontinuation of some men's non-revenue producing sports influenced the Department of Education to form the Commission on Opportunities in Athletics to review Title IX. The process and findings of the Commission are discussed, as well as the possible impact of the Commission's recommendations.

Adolescent Females With Communication Disorders Involved In Violence: Educators' Opinions, Judy K. Montgomery, Dixie Sanger, Barbara J. Moore-Brown, Leslie Smith, Marilyn Scheffler

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

This study focused on increasing the awareness of educational leaders about the relationship between students with communication disorders and violence. A review of selected research on adolescent females with language problems residing in a correctional facility served to support a survey study and extend discussions about the need for educational leadership within this population. Ninety-six speech-language pathologists, special educators, and teachers were surveyed about their training and knowledge on the role of communication in violence. Findings suggested the majority of participants agreed on the importance of planning prevention programs. However, they did not receive training and were uncertain about providing …

Department of Teaching, Learning, and Teacher Education: Theses and Other Student Research

Attrition rates in theHonor College program division of Florida Atlantic University have risen in recent years. It has been determined that even though a higher high school grade point average is required for admission into the honor program of the university, many applicants to the program were under-prepared to asumme the workload demanded of the students by the Honor College. The requirements for admission into the honor program of the Florida Atlantic University is an overall high school grade point average of 3.5 and a score of 1000 points on the SAT examination while the requirement into the College of …

Rhodes Scholarships, Frank Aydelotte, And Collegiate Honors Education, Anne Rinn

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Rhodes Scholarships enable 32 American students per year the opportunity to study at the prestigious Oxford University in England. Many of these scholars return to the United States to lead impressive careers in the fields of politics, law, business, medicine, and so on. An often-unrecognized detail, though, is the prominence of education as a career choice of Rhodes Scholars. In fact, education is the highest-ranking career choice of Rhodes Scholars and has been since the inception of the scholarships. Education is also the field in which scholars have had the most impact. Many Rhodes Scholars have become deans of medical …

Learning Curves: Fieldwork As Context For Interrogating The Dynamics Of Work In American Culture, Judith Hiltner

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

For the past quarter century, eloquent voices in the academy have articulated the value of hands on experiences in the workplace to reinforce and interrogate classroom learning. Internships and other types of fieldwork experiences enable students to test career options, improve their employment potential, challenge assumptions underlying theoretic approaches to the discipline, gain familiarity with the language and ethnography of the professional work places they plan to enter, and enlarge their sense of the role of research in their fields. Aprotracted experience that counterpoints theoretical and applied dimensions of a discipline can nurture critical habits of mind that will persist …

“A Country Wonderfully Prepared For Their Entertainment” The Aftermath Of The New England Indian Epidemic Of 1616, Matthew Kruer

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

A formidable mythology has grown up around the Pilgrims and their voyage to the New World. In the popular myth a group of idealistic religious reformers fled persecution into the wilds of the New World, braving seas, storms, winter, hunger, and death at the hands of teeming hordes of Indians, carving a new life out of an unspoiled wilderness, building a civilization with naked force of will and an unshakable religious vision. As with most historical myths, this account has been idealized to the point that it obscures the facts of the Pilgrims’ voyage. When the handful of separatists stepped …

The Perceived Value Of Honors Work As It Relates To Faculty Promotion And Tenure, K. Celeste Campbell

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

Honors programs (and honors colleges as they are called in some institutions) exist to provide enhanced learning environments for outstanding undergraduate students. The benefits for students are many: small and often more challenging classes; access to professors (as opposed to graduate students or teaching assistants); early enrollment; special honors housing; research opportunities; and scholarship money. But what are the benefits for the faculty who teach in such programs or who serve as administrators (directors or deans) of these programs? Many faculty members find personal satisfaction by working with small groups of talented students, but is honors work a help or …

Diversity Opportunities For Higher Education And Honors Programs: A View From Nebraska, Peter Longo, John Falconer

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

While honors programs were developed in part to actively engage top students in undergraduate education, they also have demonstrated a capacity for leading innovation in post-secondary institutions. Innovations come in the form of curricular development, service learning programs, and independent scholarship. As institutions strive to find effective approaches to improving access to and diversity in higher education, honors programs, in a most general sense, offer a link between diversity and improved access. This paper explores the role of honors programs in expanding access and diversity—an area traditionally focused on broader student populations. Demographic changes in Nebraska, marked by increased ethnic …

Personality Characteristics And Favorite Topics Of Students Enrolled In Introduction To Psychology, Honors, Daniel Grangaard

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

The Honors Program at Austin Community College (ACC) is relatively new. Admission to the Honors Program is by invitation and is separate from admission to ACC, which currently enrolls 32,000 students. Students are invited to join on the basis of criteria set each year by the Honors Coordinator and the Honors Council. A major goal is to produce a program membership of the top 8-10 percent of the students entering ACC each semester. There are approximately 350 students who have been accepted into the Honors Program. The program’s mission is to provide an enhanced and supportive learning climate that encourages …

Supporting The Aesthetic Through Metaphorical Thinking, Patrick Aievoli

Journal of the National Collegiate Honors Council Online Archive

During my time at the C. W. Post campus of Long Island University, I have been fortunate to be the mentor to a number of art majors who have also been honors students. During this time I have found that defining the fine line between input and output needs to be finessed. These students normally deal with the visual image and how it relates directly to their own personal work. In many cases, especially with freshman and sophomore students, their understanding of creativity is that an artist’s inspiration comes out of thin air. As they progress through their academic years …

The participants acknowledged the importance of encouragement and mentoring in their decisions to become high school principals. They continued to be affected by the male image of the high school principal. They sought support from other female leaders as well as offered mentoring to women aspiring to administrative positions. …

How the caring women administrator can make a difference is described in the concluding remarks.

Review Of Reinventing Fundraising: Realizing The Potential Of Women's Philanthropy By Sondra C. Shaw And Martha A. Taylor, Jean M. Haar

Journal of Women in Educational Leadership

Studies of women note the unique nature of female leadership (Aburdene & Naisbitt, 1992; Helgeson, 1995; Sergiovanni, 1995). As women's leadership roles in the workforce increase (Helgeson, 1995; Ruderman & Ohlott, 2002), the potential for women's leadership in philanthropy is acknowledged. In Reinventing Fundraising: Realizing the Potential o/Women 's Philanthropy, Shaw and Taylor address the potential of women philanthropists-and make special note that, whether women inherit, earn or marry money, they are becoming a powerful financial force. Lederer (1991) and Taylor (1998) emphasized that American women now control 60% of the nation's investment wealth and constitute 43% of the nation's …
