▼ The school principal is accountable for an environment conducive to learning. Qualified leaders improve student learning and affect the perceptions of members of the organization and their intention to stay. The responsibilities for school success and the shortage of applicants make it imperative that qualified principals are recruited and hired. Effective screening programs can ensure the candidates selected are prepared for leadership positions. Teachers' perceptions of their principal's leadership are related to job satisfaction, job resignation, and transfers. Therefore, teachers' perceptions of principals provide a basis to evaluate the quality of principals' leadership. The effectiveness of a principal leadership-screening instrument on teacher perceptions and teacher retention was examined. Two groups of principals were analyzed-those principals who completed the PrincipalInsight process and those who did not. Data were collected from a staff perception survey and teacher retention records. The PrincipalInsight scores of the principals who were hired did not correlate to the teacher ratings from the staff perception survey. Nor did the PrincipalInsight scores correlate with retention rates at schools with novice principals. Therefore, the recruitment and hiring of candidates for principal based on scores from the PrincipalInsight is a matter for concern. However, findings indicated a significant correlation between the teacher ratings and teacher retention for veteran principals. Recommendations include using veteran teachers to prescreen and evaluate candidates in light of, and with respect to the criteria developed for the screening program. The findings suggest veteran principals provide a sense of community where teachers feel valued, supported, and applauded for their talents and skills, which encourages them to remain employed at their schools. Efforts must be made to implement professional development for new principals to facilitate an understanding for the necessity of building relationships, peer support, and a community for teachers, which are major factors in retaining teachers. The findings provide information on structured screenings and their effectiveness in leadership hiring practices. Information from this study can serve to establish a protocol for the hiring of quality applicants for principal position. The participation of veteran principals and teachers is strongly encouraged in the process of the selection of new principals as their expertise and knowledge is most aligned with the responsibilities needed for present leadership positions.

▼ The purpose of the study was to examine teacher perceptions of the impact mathematics content coaches have had on instructional practices and on student learning. Data were collected from teachers in Grades 3, 4, and 5 who were teaching in five schools during the 2009-2010 academic school year. The Alabama State Department of Education survey was used to collect data. The survey consisted of two parts. The first part was composed of 41 questions using a 5-point Likert-type scale. The second part consisted of three open-ended questions. Interview data were collected from a purposeful sample of teachers. Responses to survey items can be grouped into four main themes: performance, collaboration, environment, and attitude. There was little difference found among the responses. Within all four themes, the response type of almost always has the highest frequency of occurrence (62%), with usually being the second most chosen response (23%). These results demonstrate that participants are very satisfied with the mathematics coaches' performance, collaboration, environment, and attitude. Few respondents chose usually, sometimes, and rarely as their response choice. Responses to the open-ended questions revolved around three main themes: lesson modeling, which included observation and feedback; lesson development; and frequency of teachers meetings with their coach. A few respondents did not have the opportunity to meet with their coach on a weekly basis. The overwhelming theme suggested by those who responded to the final question revolved around spending more time in the classroom. Interviewees commented that their content coach had taught them to be reflective thinkers through observation and feedback. Although survey data were subjected to an exploratory factor analysis, given the relatively small number of survey respondents, these data are of limited value. They are, however, reported because of the wide use of the instrument in Alabama. These data suggest that there were four latent factors underlying the 41 survey questions: performance, collaboration, environment, and attitude. Although Cronbach á coefficients indicated strong internal consistency for all four factors, these should be interpreted cautiously, because of the small sample size.

▼ The purpose of this research is to examine court cases about adverse employment actions against public educators for insubordination, in an effort to understand what courts consider to be "insubordination." This study represents qualitative document-based research that was based upon the analysis of case law. The research sources were court cases involving a claim of teacher insubordination that have been identified by the editors of West Publishing Company. Cases spanning from 1900 to 2011 were used, to provide a sufficient number of court decisions. From these decisions, it is hoped that a better understanding of how the courts deal with these claims and possible trends related to the courts handling of these situations will emerge. In the 129 cases that were briefed that pertained to educators that were insubordinate, the court ruled most predominately in support or favor of the school board. For example, 93 cases were ruled in favor of the school board and 36 in favor of the educator. Sixty-five cases dealt with the teacher or principal's inability to follow board policy, direct orders, or directives from superiors. After being disseminated into several categories, the cases could then be divided into two key groups: (1) the educators charged with insubordination where there was inadequate substantiation to justify termination or the consequence was too severe or the constitutional rights of the individual were infringed upon, and (2) the employees who did not follow the policies set forth by the school board and administrative directions or were incapable of being models representative of the community morals and values linked to the schools they serviced. As a result, it is necessary for administrators and school boards to realize the significance of the rationality in working with every employee in a professional way so that the constitutional rights of each educator and staff member are protected. It is crucial that educators perform in a professional way showing admiration for students, employers, and the community. This will curb unnecessary legal ramifications. Every potential strategy must be used to circumvent litigation and produce the greatest probable educational organization.

▼ The rapid advances in technology and scientific knowledge in modern society increases the need for a workforce with an understanding of technology and critical thinking skills College graduates are entering the working world without the critical thinking skills and ability to apply the scientific knowledge gained during their undergraduate experience (Casner-Lotto & Barrington, 2006). To prepare college graduate for the careers that they will have in the future, the current way science is taught has to be reformed. When examining the impact of reformed science teaching at the undergraduate level, the question of how students perceive their learning environment arises. To address this problem, this study examined the effects that of varying levels of reformed science teaching used classroom had on students' perceptions of the learning environment. The population of this study included 103 institutions that participated in the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's NASA Opportunities for Visionary Academics (NOVA) Program. The NOVA program courses were developed by faculty teams as a part of professional development efforts for university faculty and administrators at 103 universities to work in collaborative teams to create and sustain reform in entry-level undergraduate science and mathematics courses. To determine the impact of reformed teaching on students, the National Study of Education in Undergraduate Science used surveys, interviews, and classroom observations compare the NOVA reformed courses with similar courses that had not been reformed under the NOVA program. The study sample in this dissertation includes data from 9 of those institutions and 14 faculty members. The level of reform was measured using the Reformed Teaching Observation Protocol, and students' perception of the learning environment was determined using the Constructivist Learning Environment Survey. Quantitative results were corroborated with qualitative data from interviews of both the instructors and the students. The level of reform found in the courses was found to vary along a continuum from reformed to traditional instructor orientation and this context significantly affected student perceptions of the learning environment. Results identified significant relationships between courses the level of reform implemented in the course and student perception of the learning environment. The ways in which scientific ideas were communicated impacted students' perceptions of their ability to learn science. In the courses where students were given the opportunity to develop and communicate their ideas about scientific knowledge to other students and the instructor, the students perceived the learning environment more favorably. The students in these courses were more confident in their ability to learn and understand science. They also felt more confident in their ability to use their scientific knowledge in their futures. Students in courses with little reform implanted in the classroom viewed the learning environment less favorably.… Advisors/Committee Members: Sunal, Dennis W., Burke, Barbara, Dantzler, John, Johnson, Margaret, Shwery, Craig, Sunal, Cynthia, University of Alabama.

▼ This study was conducted to investigate if various independent variables could be used in the prediction of stress and depression levels of undergraduate college students. Ninety-eight percent of college students state they have experienced stress within the past year, with 53% reporting tremendous amounts of stress. The stressors faced by these students result in decreased academic performance, family problems, relationship problems, and job difficulties, to name a few (NCHA, 2011). Therefore, the timeliness of the topic seems most appropriate. The prediction variables used in the two multiple linear regression models were healthy living resident, student athlete, gender, ethnicity, and classification. The researcher sought to understand both the stress and depression levels of undergraduate college students through a survey administered to all undergraduate students attending a 4-year regional university in the fall of 2009 (N = 492). Three groups were identified from the sample, healthy living residents, student athletes, and the general student population. The responses from the survey plus the demographic data were analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the quantitative data analyzed from the survey yielded statistically significant models for both stress and depression. However, not all of the predictor variables independently contributed to the model. The stress model only had two independent variables which significantly contributed to the model; student athletes and gender, while the depression model only had one significant predictor in student athletes. The findings were unexpected in that the researcher's initial hypothesis had healthy living residents providing the greatest contribution to both models. However, the findings of this study will assist student affairs personnel and administrators in the development of new programs. The researcher concludes that there may be a law of diminishing return as students become too involved in programs and extracurricular activities outside of their academic endeavors (Astin, 1975). Developers of holistic programs should be aware of this finding in their establishment of such programs. Future research should focus on distinguishing at what point students' affective skills, mainly stress and depression, become weakened with their level of involvement.

▼ State fiscal support for public higher education is declining, particularly during recessionary periods. Public colleges and universities have limited channels of revenue and depend on state appropriations for current operating needs. There is an imperative now for public institutions to do more with less, be more efficient and effective in order to meet national demand. Faced with a difficult financial outlook going forward, it is important to explore the fiscal response being developed and implemented at public four-year institutions. This study investigated, through a survey response instrument, the strategies and tactics put in place to aid public four-year colleges and universities in sustaining their financial well-being while maintaining pursuit of institutional missions. A study population that included public four-year institutions that experienced at least a 5% or more reduction in state appropriations from fiscal year 2008 to 2009 was examined to determine what financial management strategies and tactics were implemented, as well as the chief financial officers perception regarding fiscal stability. The survey collected data on the implementation of financial management tactics and the relative degree of fiscal impact of each tactic. In addition, survey questions recorded perceptions of the chief financial officers on the guiding principles of selecting a financial management response and the degree to which the implemented strategy achieved fiscal stability. The results of descriptive statistics and data analyses show that increasing tuition and fees was an integral component of the financial management response to offset the loss of state appropriations. Further, institutions, regardless of enrollment size, were found to implement a variety of tactics across all strategy types to achieve relative fiscal stability. Chief financial officers indicated that they were able to implement a wide-ranging response to eroding state appropriations that generally achieved their desired level of fiscal stability. The full findings, conclusions, and recommendations are discussed in detail at the end of the study.

▼ This study investigated the relationship of size, wealth, and district type to athletic success and found that wealth and size were important predictors of athletic performance. The relationship of these variables to performance was anticipated in a theory of differentiation propounded by Blau and Schoenerr (1971). The authors theorized that increases in organizational size would be accompanied by increases in specialization, that is, the unique skills possessed by organizational incumbents and thus foster success. Data describing school size, wealth, district type, number of coaches, and athletic success were gathered. Success was defined as the points garnered in the Georgia Athletic Directors Association's Regions Directors Cup race. The independent variables were measured as student enrollment for size, the percentage of Free and Reduced Lunch for wealth, and proximity to urban centers for district type. Because schools in Georgia are classified by size, the hypothesis that wealth, size, and district type would predict athletic success was tested in each of the five divisions. Size and wealth individually were positively correlated with athletic performance in all divisions. District type had no effect on athletic performance. All relationships were tested in five divisions comprising 376 secondary public schools, a sample of virtually every public high school in Georgia. When athletic performance was regressed on the independent variables, wealth made a significant contribution in each division. When controlling for wealth and district type, size made a significant contribution in the smallest school division and the largest school division. When the coaches were added to the set of independent variables, the number of coaches made a significant contribution to athletic success in all the divisions. Although not hypothesized, size and wealth made contributions to academic performance that mirrored their relationship in athletic performances. Theoretically, the study confirms the importance of wealth and size. However, if the idea of different divisions is to level the playing field in competitive athletics then this finding presents some practical challenges to sports officials.

▼ Growing litigation between the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), its member institutions, and student athletes has caused concern for both student athletes and colleges and universities. This qualitative research utilized a legal-historical, document-based method of inquiry. The research analyzed cases between 1953-2012 involving conflicts between student athletes, the institutions of higher education they attend, and the NCAA. Cases involving Title IX were not included. An analysis of pertinent cases was conducted to identify applicable laws influencing judicial decisions. Cases were briefed using Statsky and Wernet's (1995) method. Themes emerging from the research involved issues concerning constitutional/civil rights, workmen's compensation, and anti-trust. Case law revealed that most challenges brought against the NCAA involved by-laws concerning the areas of amateurism, recruiting, eligibility involving academic and general requirements, compensation, and enforcement Other issues involved violations under the Americans with Disabilities Act, First Amendment, Fourteenth Amendment, and Title VI. The courts have ruled that the NCAA is not considered a state actor because it is a private institution set up to protect amateurism and the education of student athletes. As a result, the NCAA is cloaked with immunity while the colleges and universities are not. The research revealed that the NCAA has a pattern of settling cases and revising its by-laws when there is a concern that the courts will rule against the NCAA. As a result, the NCAA is able to escape court rulings that will set a precedent for future litigation. The research gleaned from the data provided practical guidelines for athletic departments and recommendations for future research.

▼ The future employment market will require college graduates to possess strong and effective leadership skills. It is crucial that higher education provide numerous and practical opportunities for students to develop these skills. Research confirms that preparing students for leadership roles is one of the founding tenets of American higher education. However, studies regarding leadership and the nontraditional student have not been well documented. The conceptual framework for this research was based on the ecology theory of leadership that proposed a departure from the traditional hierarchical style of leadership towards a more systemic style through an open process that involves all members of the organization. Athens State University serves a population comprised mostly of nontraditional students, many of whom are already employed. This study used the Leadership Attitudes and Beliefs Scale (LABS-III) instrument developed by Dr. Richard Wielkiewicz to examine the preferred leadership styles of students at Athens State University and determine if there was a significant difference in those styles based upon a set of demographic variables that included gender, age group, employment status, and college of record. Results revealed that an overwhelming number of students still preferred the traditional hierarchical style of leadership, while a much smaller group preferred the systemic style of leadership. Statistical results revealed no significant differences in preferred leadership styles based upon any of the demographic variables. However, research did show that the older the study participant, the more likely they were to prefer the hierarchical style of leadership. Based upon the results of this study, it is apparent that institutions of higher education many want to consider redesigning the leadership development curriculum with an emphasis on building systemic leadership skills, specifically through the ecology of leadership theory. In addition, specific and meaningful learning opportunities in leadership should be incorporated into all curricula, not just business programs. As the population of nontraditional students continues to outnumber traditional college students, institutions may want to consider establishing an official point of contact for this student, such as an Office of Student Support Services for Returning Adult Students.

▼ In 1999, the Institute of Medicine published a report To Err Is Human: Building a Safer Health System, which found that 44,000-98,000 people die as a result of preventable medical errors each year. Following this report in 2005, the Quality and Safety for Nurses (QSEN) project was established which defined a set of six core competencies that all nursing students should possess at graduation. Since the IOM report and the establishment of QSEN, nurse educators have been challenged with discovering effective teaching strategies to infuse the QSEN competencies into the nursing curricula. The purpose of the quantitative, pretest/post-test control group design study was to examine at the effectiveness of two teaching strategies, online modules in conjunction with a flipped classroom discussion seminar (experimental group) versus online modules only (control group), on baccalaureate-nursing students' knowledge, skills, and attitudes of the quality improvement (QI) and safety QSEN competencies. The online modules utilized in the study were developed by a group of experts through the Institute of Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Data were collected and analyzed using a sample of 64 senior baccalaureate-nursing students from one university in the southeastern United States that completed a web-based pre-test and post-test instrument with items adapted from two existing tools measuring QSEN competences. Two MANOVA analysis used to examine group differences demonstrated a statistically significant similar omnibus effect (p=.028) between the experimental group and the control group for knowledge, comfort of skills, and attitudes. A MANOVA examining group differences between the experimental group and the control group on knowledge, comfort with skills, and attitudes of patient safety was not statistically significant (p=.59).

▼ This study explored the voices of children in a changing world with evolving needs and new opportunities. The workplaces of rapidly moving capitalist societies value creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking skills which are of growing importance and manifesting themselves in modern K-12 science classroom cultures (Gee, 2000; New London Group, 2000). This study explored issues of multiliteracies and student voice set within the context of teaching and learning in 4th and 5th grade science classrooms. The purpose of the study was to ascertain what and how multiliteracies and scientific practices (NGSS Lead States, 2013c) are implemented, explore how multiliteracies influence students’ voices, and investigate teacher and student perceptions of multiliteracies, student voice, and scientific practices. Grounded in a constructivist framework, a multiple case study was employed in two elementary classrooms. Through observations, student focus groups and interviews, and teacher interviews, a detailed narrative was created to describe a range of multiliteracies, student voice, and scientific practices that occurred with the science classroom context. Using grounded theory analysis, data were coded and analyzed to reveal emergent themes. Data analysis revealed that these two classrooms were enriched with multiliteracies that serve metaphorically as breeding grounds for student voice. In the modern classroom, defined as a space where information is instantly accessible through the Internet, multiliteracies can be developed through inquiry-based, collaborative, and technology-rich experiences. Scientific literacy, cultivated through student communication and collaboration, is arguably a multiliteracy that has not been considered in the literature, and should be, as an integral component of overall individual literacy in the 21st century. Findings revealed four themes. Three themes suggest that teachers address several modes of multiliteracies in science, but identify barriers to integrating multiliteracies and scientific practices into science teaching. The issues include time, increased standards accountability, and lack of comfort with effective integration of technology. The fourth theme revealed that students have the ability to shape and define their learning while supporting other voices through collaborative science experiences.

▼ The health care environment continues to be fraught with errors and poor patient outcomes. Nurses, having the most constant time with patients, are in a position to make a difference in those outcomes. Due to many technological, social, and health care changes and advancements, nurses have responsibilities requiring high levels of clinical judgment. Nursing education must respond to the changes and expanded roles of nurses by changing how students are taught, specifically in the clinical setting. Pedagogical tools and methods are needed to assist the student with making integrations between classroom theory and clinical practice. The purpose of this study was to explore the use of a guided reflection tool based on a model developed from the practice of novice and experienced registered nurses on clinical judgment development as measured by a rubric based on the same model, of associate degree nursing students, in an acute care setting. A mixed methods approach was used. Clinical judgment scores of a comparison group (n = 9) were compared with an intervention group (n = 9) and each groups’ scores were examined for progression of clinical judgment abilities using a quasi-experimental time series design for the quantitative portion of the study. Using RM-ANOVA, findings indicated there was no statistical significance between the two groups or within the time intervals for either of the groups. A focus group interview was also held to identify perceptions of each group concerning reflective journaling and development of clinical judgment. Both groups felt reflective journaling enhanced development of clinical judgment; however, the intervention group articulated situational learning to a greater degree than the comparison group.
