The Impact Of The Father/Daughter Relationship On Women In Educational Administrative Leadership Positions, Marilyn Ann Skordas Edd

The Emergence Of The Middle School In Independent Education, Lawrence S. Sykoff Edd Jan 1988

The Emergence Of The Middle School In Independent Education, Lawrence S. Sykoff Edd

Dissertations

The literature and statistical information documenting the emergence of the middle school in independent education has been minimal.

The Heart And Spirit Of Transformational Leadership A Qualitative Case Study Of Herb Kelleher’S Passion For Southwest Airlines, Kevin L. Freiberg Edd

An Investigation Of Strong Religious Cultures In Selected Catholic Secondary Schools, John Philip Pejza Edd, Osa

Dissertations

The culture of a school includes the values, symbols, beliefs, and shared meanings of members of the school community. Catholic high schools have features which are distinctly Catholic, such as programs, personnel, and religious activities. As a result, religious cultures quite distinct from those of public schools exist in Catholic schools. This study investigated strong religious cultures in six selected west coast Catholic secondary schools selected through a reputational analysis survey. Schools were selected to include representation from six major groupings using the criteria of (a) type, of school (diocesan and private), (b) student body (coeducational and single sex), and …
