  • The Graduate School Certificate
    MIAMI UNIVERSITY - THE GRADUATE SCHOOL CERTIFICATE FOR APPROVING THE DISSERTATION We hereby approve the Dissertation of Kamara Sekou (Paul D. Collins) Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy _______________________________ Richard Quantz, Director _______________________________ Raymond Terrell, Reader _______________________________ Peter Magolda, Reader _______________________________ Yvette Harris Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT RITUALS OF EMPOWERMENT, DISEMPOWERMENT, AND CRITICAL TRANSFORMATIVE LEADERSHIP AT A SCHOOL IN TRANSITION by Kamara Sekou (Paul D. Collins) Despite over forty years of integrated public education in the United States of America there has continued to be an unsatisfactory outlook on education for increasingly large numbers of children of African descent. This issue has led many educators, parents, and concerned citizens such as those at The Marva Collins Preparatory School of Cincinnati (MCPSC) to implement alternative strategies in order to provide quality educational spaces within their communities. Independent schools have been one of the avenues used by African-Americans in pursuit of better educational opportunities in a complex and ethnically pluralistic society. Specifically, this study explores the ways that parents, students, administrators, teachers, and school support staff at an independent day school ritualize aspects of critical transformative leadership in their transition to an independent boarding school. This study focuses on an elaboration and exploration of distinguishing characteristics of critical transformative leadership as well as how these characteristics manifest in this educational setting at such a critical juncture in its development. This study is organized into three parts for a more coherent and accessible document. Part one (I) provides an introduction, a review of related literature, and the theoretical and methodological frameworks guiding this study.

  • 121 the Artistry of Teaching Stanley D. Ivie Abstract We Live in an Age Rife
    Excellence in Education Journal Volume 9, Issue 2, Summer 2020 The Artistry of Teaching Stanley D. Ivie Abstract We live in an age rife with evaluations. Everyone is busy evaluating everyone. Teachers evaluate students; administrators evaluate teachers; the public evaluates administrators. Testing agencies are having a field day creating instruments for evaluating everyone and everything. The circle feeds on itself. In my 45 years of teaching experience, my most treasured evaluation came from a six-year-old boy who came to class one evening with his mother. During the class period, he sat quietly next to his mother working with pencil and paper on something placed upon his desk. At the end of the class, he came to the front of the room and presented me with a picture of myself standing in front of the classroom waving my hands in the air. Below the picture he had written, “You are a good teacher and funny.” They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I like to think the little boy captured the spirit of my teaching. The following article is a venture into the spirit of teaching. Hopefully, it can assist thoughtful teachers in developing their own classroom artistry. Keywords: teaching, science, art, zone, flow, aesthetic fusion, bonding, love, artistry Stanley D. Ivie, Ph.D. is Professor Emeritus at Texas Woman’s University. He can be reached at [email protected] 121 Excellence in Education Journal Volume 9, Issue 2, Summer 2020 Is teaching more like the sciences or is it more like the arts? Are empirical and quantitative studies the only legitimate ways of gaining knowledge about teaching and learning or are intuitive and experiential approaches of equal value? The past 100 years of educational research have given priority to scientific studies.

AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS AND CLASSICAL EDUCATION by MARY NEGLEY (Under the Direction of Ming Fang He) ABSTRACT This dissertation is a series of speculative essays that explore the intersections of classical education, African American education, and culturally responsive/relevant/sustaining pedagogy. For centuries, classical education dominated the educational scene, and even today many people consider it to be a paragon of learning. However, it contains elitist and outdated ideas. By recognizing the miseducation of Blacks in the United States and exploring the educational journeys of four prominent African Americans: Marva Collins (1936-2015), W. E. B. Du Bois (1868-1963), August Wilson (1945-2005), and Carter G. Woodson (1875-1950), I explore possibilities that classical education can be culturally empowering for African American students rather than contested to their cultural heritages, legacies, traditions, and histories.
