Support for the District Mission and goals We commit to operating in ways which help realize the District mission for all learners. B. Mutual Responsibility for Quality and Performance. We commit to improve existing structures to increase the mutual responsibility of those participating in the school system. We support the Washington State learning goals and standards with a focus on essential academic learning requirements. We recognize that certain conditions advance successful student learning which include: 1. Time and opportunity for students to learn; 2. Manageable student/teacher ratios; 3. Minimal disruption to curriculum delivery due to the District assessment program; 4. Time for staff planning and collaboration; 5. Sufficient resources: instructional, technology, staff and leadership; 6. Community and parent support and involvement; 7. Professional development; 8. Compensation to attract and retain quality school employees; and 9. Employees, students and parents who share mutual responsibility for student performance. C. Solvency. The resources currently available to educate children in the public schools do not allow all expectations to be met. With sufficient resources, proven methods exist to educate children to their full potential. Despite these challenges, we jointly accept the responsibility for doing our best with the resources currently available. We intend to demonstrate student achievement as part of persuading the community that adequate resources will make an important difference and for diligently seeking adequate and secure sources of revenue to support student learning. We have a joint responsibility to utilize resources effectively, maintain a balanced budget and ensure the success of the District in helping all members of the school system reach their potential. D. Professionalization of Teaching and Teaching Support. We commit to a District-wide professional development initiative designed to improve student achievement and to increase the community's respect for the education profession. In addition, we share an interest in engaging staff in professional development activities that are relevant to their work and designed to meet their professional learning needs. 1 E.

  • Talking to Strangers: the Use of a Cameraman in the Office and What
    Running Head: TALKING TO STRANGERS 1 Talking to Strangers The Use of a Cameraman in The Office and What It Reveals about Communication Sarah Stockslager A Senior Thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation in the Honors Program Liberty University Fall 2010 TALKING TO STRANGERS 2 Acceptance of Senior Honors Thesis This Senior Honors Thesis is accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation from the Honors Program of Liberty University. ______________________________ Lynnda S. Beavers, Ph.D. Thesis Chair ______________________________ Robert Lyster, Ph.D. Committee Member ______________________________ James A. Borland, Th.D. Committee Member ______________________________ Brenda Ayres, Ph.D. Honors Director ______________________________ Date TALKING TO STRANGERS 3 Abstract In the television mock-documentary The Office, co-workers Jim and Pam tell the cameraman they are dating before they tell their fellow co-workers in the office. The cameraman sees them getting engaged before anyone in the office has a clue. Even the news of their pregnancy is witnessed first by the camera crew. Jim and Pam’s boss, Michael, and other employees, such as Dwight, Angela and others, also share this trend of self-disclosure to the cameraman. They reveal secrets and embarrassing stories to the cameraman, showing a private side of themselves that most of their co-workers never see. First the term “mock-documentary” is explained before specifically discussing the The Office. Next the terms and theories from scholarly sources that relate the topic of self-disclosure to strangers are reviewed. Consequential strangers, weak ties, the stranger- on-a-train phenomenon, and para-social interaction are studied in relation to the development of a new listening stranger theory.
