Establishing A Positive School Climate On The Playground For Students With Serious Behavioral Disabilities: A Collaborative Effort, Mildred Carol Fletcher Garcia

All Graduate Projects

Social skills deficits of students with serious behavior disabilities are often an obstacle to integration into the regular education system. Many of the most troublesome problems occur outside the classroom on the playground due to the lessened structure constraints of the playground environment. As a result, the students are labeled "bad kids" by the teachers and paraprofessionals, are socially rejected by nondisabled peers, and the downward spiral of a negative social "trap" is begun.

The purpose of this study was to create an inservice training packet promoting collaboration between teachers and paraprofessionals providing students with serious behavior disabilities a positive …

To accomplish this purpose, a review of current literature regarding gangs and youth violence was conducted and related materials from selected inservice, prevention, and intervention programs was reviewed and assessed. The model was designed for implementation in the Highline School District and other Washington State school districts.

Utilizing Applied Behavior Analysis: A Handbook For Teachers Who Are Dealing With Developmentally Delayed Children, Cleresse Sprague

All Graduate Projects

Participation in group discussions regarding behaviors The author has chosen to do this study and develop a handbook to meet this perceived need.

Attracting African American Honor Students Into Accounting, Dana Hermanson, Susan H. Ivancevich, Roger H. Hermanson

Faculty Articles

The percentage of minority professionals in the major accounting firms has risen only 2 percentage points since 1976. Black members of a national collegiate honor society were surveyed to see if their perceptions of the accounting profession lead them to select other majors. The nonaccounting students perceived the accounting profession very positively in providing long-term financial rewards and availability of employment. The nonfinancial characteristics of lifestyle, work environment, and nature of accounting work were perceived poorly by respondents. It is vital that black students gain a better understanding of the nonfinancial nature of accounting work and of the role of …

Does Service-Learning Have A Future?, Edward Zlotkowski

New England Resource Center for Higher Education Publications

Until very recently the service-learning movement has had an "ideological" bias; i.e., it has tended to prioritize moral and/or civic questions related to the service experience. Such a focus reflects well the movement's past but will not guarantee its future. What is needed now is a broad-based adjustment that invests far more intellectual energy in specifically academic concerns. Only by paying careful attention to the needs of individual disciplines and by allying itself with other academic interest groups, will the service-learning movement succeed in becoming an established feature of American higher education.

Faculty Development Programs At Research Universities: Implications For Senior Faculty Renewal, Arthur L. Crawley

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This article examines the research findings from that portion of the National Survey on Senior Faculty Renewal which pertains to the faculty development programs available to senior faculty at research universities in support of their career development and renewal. Survey respondents were coordinators and directors of faculty development programs and selected academic affairs administrators with faculty development responsibilities at their respective institutions. In general, the findings reveal a high level of support for the traditional approaches to faculty development for senior faculty in the context of their teaching and research. However, the findings suggest that faculty development approaches that are …

Academic Syndromes Revisited, Robert R. Dove

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This article describes a workshop designed for students and faculty that is based on Herman Blake's research on Academic Syndromes of Minority Students. Blake presented the results of his research at the 1980 POD Conference and what he had to say then has even broader applications now. The workshop explores the roles of Ultimate Doom, Getting Over and Alienation in the lives of our students. The author suggests that this workshop could be an integral part of an effective retention effort for many schools.

Faculty Development And Changing Environments Of The Urban Campus, Debrah Jefferson, Susan Peverly

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Literature about the urban campus indicates that traditional, full-time faculty who teach and engage in scholarly, creative work, or research may need to shift to more applied and community-oriented service programs. Hence, the role of faculty development is changing because the issues facing the urban university are changing. These changes are prompted by the unique growth and development within the neighborhood of urban-based campuses. Pressure from the communities to make the campuses more community oriented, along with growing concern for the nature and quality of instruction, help foster change. Campus administration concerns about the institution becoming a "good" neighbor by …

Improving Teaching Through Reflective Partnerships, Roy Killen

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

The purpose of this paper is to explain how both experienced and inexperienced faculty can improve their teaching and their students' learning through a systematic process of reflecting on their day-to-day teaching by collaborating with a "reflective partner." The suggestions are based on the author's experiences as a teacher, teacher educator and faculty developer, and on the belief that good teachers are those who help students to learn and to achieve their full potential as individuals. The reflective teaching techniques in this paper have a strong focus on the technical aspects of teaching. However, the techniques also provide faculty with …

Peers Coaching Teaching: Colleagues Supporting Professional Growth Across The Disciplines, Kate Kinsella

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Peer coaching is a highly effective way to encourage professors to talk about teaching in a purposeful manner and to venture from traditional academic practices. However, peer coaching is more complex than it appears at first glance. This article provides background on the coaching process, a description of two basic peer coaching models, and guidelines for selecting and training coaches.

Exploring Student Ratings Through Computer Analysis: A Method To Assist Instructional Development, Robert Lewis

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This paper demonstrates how computer analysis of student ratings can assist professors in instructional development. Student ratings of three courses taught by the author were placed in computer databases and were then manipulated using BASIC programs. The needs of different client groups within a class were considered. Ratings of students who had different professional goals and differing preferences for learning goal structures were compared. The responses of students to nine different procedures within a class were analyzed to study the interaction between enjoyment, challenge, and learning on the class components. The author argues that computer analysis of the raw data …

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

The Case For Instructional Mentoring, Richard J. Nichols, Beverley T. Amick

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

Mentoring to enhance instructor performance in the classroom is the focus of this article. It is directed toward faculty developers conducting or developing a mentoring program, and toward individuals about to enter a mentor-mentee relationship.

A suggested mentor training seminar concludes the article.

Teaching And Learning In The Diverse Classroom: A Faculty And Ta Partnership Program, Matthew L. Ouellett, Mary Deane Sorcinelli

To Improve the Academy: A Journal of Educational Development

This article describes a new program that successfully combines the two functions by building on methods and practices from both. The program has had beneficial outcomes for individual teachers as well as for their departments.
