Lake Doctor of Philosophy Department of Educational Methodology, Policy, and Leadership June 2011 Title: Constructing Success for Black Students in Suburban High School Approved: _______________________________________________________ Dr. Charles Martinez, Co-Chair Approved: _______________________________________________________ Dr. Gerald Tindal, Co-Chair Considerable literature supports that teachers are important to student achievement, but few studies have assessed the student voice to determine what specific teacher behaviors and interactions affect achievement. This study is a secondary analysis of existing data from a local implementation of a national survey of student appraisals of teacher-student relationships, school experiences and their impacts on achievement. Data were analyzed to explore differences in perceptions for White and Black students, for higher- and lower-performing Black students and for Black males and females who attend suburban, high SES, high-performing, predominantly White high schools.

  • University Microfilms International 300 N
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer o f a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

Efforts to reduce fuel hazards and restore natural ecological processes involve risks to resource values, but inaction carries the risk of severe wildfire in highly altered forest stands. Scientific investigation has an important role to play in helping to evaluate the tradeoffs involved in fuels management. To address this issue, the Pacific Southwest Research Station commissioned literature reviews on the effects of fuels treatments in the Tahoe basin on air quality, water quality, soils, vegetation, and wildlife. The resulting papers and an associated on-line searchable database of publications address previous calls to make scientific information more available to guide decisions. The review papers considered the general effects of prescribed burning and mechanical harvest, as well as some specific treatment methods being applied or considered in the basin, including hand thinning, cut-to-length (CTL) treatment, whole tree removal (WTR), broadcast or understory burning, pile burning, chipping and mastication.

  • The Acts and Agency of the Holy Spirit in the Missional Life
    ABSTRACT GOD’S MISSIONAL SPIRIT: THE ACTS AND AGENCY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE MISSIONAL LIFE by John W. Freeland The missional church movement has stepped outside the walls of the institutional church and into the streets of the neighborhood and the hallways of the workplace. However, missional practices are not enough to turn the tide of the growing irrelevance of the church in Western society. This study addresses the relationship between the Holy Spirit and the missional life. Theologians and practitioners such as Jurgen Moltmann, Michael Frost, Alan Hirsch, Alan Roxburgh, J. R. Woodward, N. T. Wright, and John Wesley were explored in the literature review which revealed six key themes: The Holy Spirit Sends Us on a Mission, Parakletos, Higher Degree of the Holy Spirit, God-kind of Love, Power from/of the Holy Spirit, and Awareness of Missional Opportunities. These Holy Spirit Sends Us on a Mission, Parakletos, and Higher Degree of the Holy Spirit all relate to a Christian’s experience with the Holy Spirit as He designs and sends the Christian to a particular place at a particular time. The Holy Spirit joins with, guides, and leads the Christian on that mission and into a deeper personal relationship through the baptism with the Holy Spirit. God-kind of Love, Power from/of the Holy Spirit, and Awareness of Missional Opportunities Moreover, these themes relate to the outward expression of the Christian’s relationship with the Holy Spirit as they respond to their context with the love given them by the Holy Spirit, work in the gifts (2 Cor.

The study involved threecomponents: a survey of the state cf the art of utilizing cost-benefitmethodologies to evaliate the'returnson investments'in vocational education; an overview cf the potential measurement problems inperforming a national study and strategies to overcomeor minimize thebe problems; and, a Delphi analysis soliciting input from technicalexperts (including economists,. vocational educators, mathematicians,and Department of EduCation staff) on the desirabilityand feasibility of various components ofa proposed cost-benefit model of vocational education. While data from these threesources suggest that a national cost-benefit study of vocational educationis technically feasible, there are numerous limitations in specifyingthe relationship between vocational education costs and benefits.These limitations involve analytical evaluation techniques that req.ate' costs to benefits, methods fin measuring costs and benefits,and characteristics of. vocational education.
