As part of understanding the meaning and process of educational change, students are asked to conduct a small research assignment on their chosen topic. This research assignment is planned during the second summer residency of the MES program and then undertaken and completed during the semester that the students are registered in the EDU 515 course. An experienced instructor with a doctoral degree works with the students, as a class, and guides them throughout the research experience. The students’ research assignments comply with the University of Alberta Standards for the Protection of Human Research Participants and the instructors of the EDU 515 course hold the ethics approval to have the class complete this research assignment. Please note that, unlike research conducted for a Masters thesis, the research completed in the MES program is a course-based assignment under the umbrella of a class ethics approval. For this reason, findings from the research assignment are discussed from this more specific context and the research is referred to as an “assignment”, rather than a study.

Update to Table 1 2 Prefa c e This paper has been developed by the Stronger Smarter Institute and is based on concepts and approaches that the Institute has developed over a number of years of running leadership programs for school and community leaders across Australia. The paper draws specifically on the published and unpublished work of Chris Sarra and David Spillman, but also incorporates concepts that have been developed by the Stronger Smarter Leadership Program facilitators and through group conversations with the entire 2014 Stronger Smarter Institute team. The paper introduces the concept of High-Expectations Relationships, which together with a ‘positive sense of cultural identity’ and ‘embracing positive Indigenous leadership’, forms one of the three ‘pillars’ of the Stronger Smarter philosophy and approach. We recognise that in introducing the concept of High-Expectations Relationships in this written form we are not able to provide the in-depth understandings that are possible through the experiences of the Stronger Smarter Leadership Program.

  • The GIA Historical Music Series
    GIA Publications, Inc. 2018 2018 Music Education Catalog At GIA, we aspire to create innovative resources that communicate the joys of music making and music learning—that delve deeper into what it means to be musical. By working with leading authors who represent the very best the profession has to offer for all levels from preschool through college and beyond, GIA seeks to help music teachers communicate the joy, art, skill, complexity, and knowledge of musicianship. This year we again offer a wide range of new resources for early childhood through college. Scott Edgar explores Music Education and Social Emotional Learning (page 7); the legendary Teaching Music through Performance in Band series moves to Volume 11 (page 8); Scott Rush publishes Habits of a Significant Band Director (page 9) and together with Christopher Selby releases Habits of a Successful Middle Level Musician (pages 10-11). And there’s finally a Habits book for choir directors (page 12). James Jordan gives us four substantial new publications (pages 13-16). There’s also an Ultimate Guide to Creating a Quality Music Assessment Program (page 19). For general music teachers, there is a beautiful collection of folk songs from Bali (page 21), a best- selling book on combining John Feierabend’s First Steps in Music methodology with Orff Schulwerk (page 23), plus the new folk song picture book, Kitty Alone (page 24), just to start. All told, this catalog has 400 pages of resources to explore and enjoy! We’re happy to send single copies of the resources in this catalog on an “on approval” basis with full return privileges for 30 days.

Academic Tenacity | 1 Introduction In a nationwide survey of high school dropouts, 69 percent said that school had not motivated or inspired them to work hard.1 In fact, many of the students who remain in school are not motivated or inspired either, and the more time students spend in K–12 education the worse it gets.2 This lack of motivation to do well in school represents a serious loss of human potential, with implications for students’ well-being later in life and for our country’s future economic growth. What prevents students from working hard in school? Is it something about them or is it something about school? More important, is there a solution to this problem? Most educational reforms focus on curriculum and pedagogy—what material is taught and how it is taught.

  • EPS Celebrates Black History Month
    February 16, 2017 EPS Celebrates Black History Month The Elizabeth Public Schools professional learning community is one of the most diverse urban school communities in the State of New Jersey. The collective efforts of students and team members from a vast number of races, ethnicities, and cultures help maintain our standard of excellence as we continue to pursue our vision of being one of the highest performing urban school districts in the nation. Among the groups who have made valuable contributions to our school district, our greater Elizabeth community, our state, and our nation are African-Americans who we celebrate during the month of February in recognition of Black History Month. In the pages ahead, you will see how schools throughout our district have promoted awareness during the celebration of Black History Month of the significant accomplishments of African-Americans, past and present, to all facets of American life. EPS Celebrates Black History Month (cont.) Nicholas S. LaCorte – Peterstown School No. 3 With the theme of the Harlem Renaissance, School No. 3 starts each day with morning announcements including relevant pieces of information that chronicle the various people, places and events of the Harlem Renaissance. An assembly, featuring the life of Langston Hughes, highlights the significance of the Harlem Renaissance to the history and development of the African American culture in the United States and includes the performance of music, dance, and poetry of the era. Various grade levels are focusing on different aspects of Black History, including recounting the events of Ruby Bridges and her impact on education in our country, researching the impact of Freedom Quilts on the Underground Railroad, researching and writing commentaries to be read during for morning announcements, writing biographies about Black Americans who made important contributions to society, and writing essays about the importance of celebrating Black History Month.
