Full textThe purpose of this study was to conduct, as a participant observer and district-level regional administrator, three exploratory mini-case studies of elementary schools in the same district attempting to meet the same district improvement goal, imbedded in individual School Improvement Plans (SIP) during the same period of time in the school year. In order to document how each leadership team identifies strategies to meet the goal, how strategies are implemented, how each leadership team interacts with me as their district administrator, and how performance toward meeting the goal is perceived by key actors in the school this research was conducted as an action-research case study. The inter-relationships between school goals and school leadership team behaviors in a large suburban school district and the influence of these teams on the practices of the individuals on each of the three different school teams were the primary focus of this study. This study took place beginning in December 2007 and culminating in March 2008. The researcher kept a field journal of team meetings and staff development activities at each site. Interviews were conducted with principals, teachers, and parents at each site to gain multiple perspectives of school improvement and leadership. Findings of this case study may reveal a close connection between the practices of the regional administrator and school leadership teams and the outcome of school improvement initiatives. Recommendations are made for changes in practice and for future research studies.

Full textThis study reports the findings of the masters studies on management styles that are adopted in effective secondary schools and examined how the effect of participative management styles could positively change the status of ineffective secondary schools. Two hundred educators and five school principals were sampled for the study. Questionnaires and semi-structured interviews were used to collect the data for the study. The respondents argued that their school principals adopted democratic, transformational, situational, and behavioural styles of management. They further believed that the adoption of participative management styles would positively change the status of ineffective secondary schools. They argued that by adopting democratic, transformational, situational and behavioural styles of management will encourage educators to: i) develop effective teaching and learning in their classrooms as they will be highly motivated; ii) adopt participative teaching methods that encourage learners to take part in classroom activities with confidence; and, iii) adopt team teaching which contributes to better performance in the classroom.

Dietrich, Lars. "Bullying in Schools| How School and Student Characteristics Predict Bullying Behaviors Among Boys in American Secondary Schools." Thesis, Brandeis Univ., The Heller School for Social Policy and Mgmt, 2016. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10010595.
Full textThis dissertation argues that bullying is a fundamental response to bullies’ feelings of insecurity. Past research has found factors associated with bullying to include socioeconomic status and propensities towards violent behavior. Contextual factors posited here that produce the feelings of insecurity, which lead to bullying, include peer group dynamics, school climates, and teaching.
In relationship to peer groups, the theoretical framework of this dissertation draws primarily from the theories of Robert E. Crosnoe and Dorte M. Sondergaard. The assumption is that students are socially embedded in peer groups in which they struggle for social status (Crosnoe 2011) and in many cases experience the threat of social marginalization (Sondergaard 2012). Sondergaard, in particular, theorizes that the more insecure students feel about their social status in peer groups, the more likely they are to resort to bullying behavior.
All multivariate analyses in this dissertation are limited to white, black, and Latino boys. The resulting sample comprises N=6,491 student observations nested within 153 schools. The nested sampling structure requires multi-level modeling (MLM) for the calculation of unbiased estimates.
I find that individual-level student background characteristics are stronger predictors of bully identification than the school context, as measured by student body composition and teaching style factors. In addition, social status insecurity is a mediating factor for many of the student- and school-level predictors of bullying.
The dissertation distinguishes four types of schools, each of which is above or below average on two major dimensions. The first dimension is academic support (i.e., how caring and responsive teachers are), while the other is academic press (i.e., how strict and demanding they are).
I find that black male students are more likely to self-identify as bullies in schools that are below average on both academic support and academic press, compared to those that are above average on both. The pattern for Latino boys is different. For them, self-reported bullying is higher when the school rates high on academic support, but low on academic press.
I find no statistically significant role for teaching styles in predicting the amount of bully identification among white males.

Full textAnalyzing the statistical data taken from the Brazil Test 2007, we performed a study to remove the effect of school failure on student performance, since it serves as a corrective procedure deficit of student learning. So once this treaty deficit, in theory, should show that the average student would be with the same use of other students in the same series. But we noted here, once failed, the student bears this deficit for the other series, in summary, showing how it is used in schools failing to basic education in Brazil is not correcting this deficit, and only perpetuating.
Analisando os dados estatÃsticos extraÃdos da Prova Brasil de 2007, foi efetuado um estudo de forma a retirar o efeito da reprovaÃÃo escolar no desempenho dos estudantes, uma vez que este procedimento serve como um corretivo do dÃficit de aprendizado dos alunos. Portanto, uma vez tratado esse dÃficit, em teoria, deve-se evidenciar que o aluno, em mÃdia, estaria com o mesmo aproveitamento dos outros alunos nas mesmas sÃries. PorÃm evidenciou-se aqui, que uma vez reprovado, o aluno carrega este dÃficit para as demais sÃries, em sÃntese, mostrando que a forma como à utilizada a reprovaÃÃo nas escolas de ensino bÃsico no Brasil nÃo està corrigindo este dÃficit, e apenas o perpetuando.
