Given the aforementioned issues, girls need effective elementary school programming to support positive self-esteem and the development of girls’ Social Emotional Learning (SEL) Competencies. The purpose of this mixed-method study focused on evaluating the Ruling Our Experiences (ROX) program for 9/10-year-old girls. The methods used were designed to address the three research questions: Based on the implementation of the ROX program in Yough elementary schools, to what extent do participants exhibit a greater level of positive self-esteem? How do the participants of the ROX program demonstrate Social-Emotional Learning Competencies? To what extent do the participants view the ROX program as creating a safe space for support in their daily lives? Thirty-six fourth grade girls participated in the study. iv Participants completed a pretest and posttest of ten Likert-Scale items in the Rosenberg Self- Esteem Scale (RSE Scale). Eighteen girls participated in two focus groups that sought their perception of the effectiveness of the program. The results of a paired-samples t-test demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the participants’ RSES scores following the study. Data from focus group 1 and focus group 2 indicated participants’ growth in their knowledge and understanding of SEL and their abilities to apply skills from the ROX program into their everyday lives. The results suggest a need for girls to have specific programs in elementary school to support their self-esteem and SEL. v DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated in memory of my father, Robert J. Bonder, whom I sadly lost in November 2017 and who did not get to see me complete this process. An additional dedication is given to my son Anthony, my brother John, my mother Linda, and my boyfriend Dave. I extend a sincere and heartfelt thanks for all of your constant encouragement, inspiration, and steadfast faith in me. Finally, this dissertation is dedicated to all of my students that I have been privileged to work with, past and present. All of you have had an extraordinary impact upon my professional journey. vi ACKNOWLEDGMENT Anthony, you are my cherished and beloved son. Your love, commitment to our family, and your support have been truly exceptional as I walked forward in this journey. You have taught me the true essence of hard work, patience, and compassion as a 14-year-old adolescent, and often reminded me to laugh and “chill out” when the moments of life became intense. Because God blessed me when I became your mother, I learned from motherhood that the day to day sacrifices are only temporary, and the moments of our lives are best demonstrated in the love we share serving God, serving others, and loving one another. I am grateful to work at the Yough School District. Without the support of the elementary staff and faculty, administration, school board, students, and families, this work would not be possible. I extend a sincere thank you to Dr. Amy Larcinese and Dr. Jenifer Skorvan for being daily mentors in my life. Both of you have taught me by evidenced examples of your excellence the importance and value of community relationships and collaboration, both of which are significant and meaningful daily as a leader. Under your leadership, I have grown to lead by example serving our students and staff to the best of my personal and professional abilities. Your belief in me and your support will forever be cherished in my life. To Dr. Janet Sardon, my superintendent and mentor, thank you for steadfast support and encouragement that has been a catalyst to my professional growth and development. Not only did you demonstrate consistent belief in my growth process, ability, and personal transformation as a leader and scholar, but you encouraged me to focus on clear and measurable goals, one day at a time. Your patience, compassion, knowledge, and fortitude are key examples of your excellence in leadership that have been guiding lights on my professional journey. It has been an honor and a true priviledge working with you and becoming a leader that thinks with her mind, heart, and vii spirit in all that I do. I am truly grateful for the learning opportunities you have shared with me. You are the epitome of leading with your mind, heart, and spirit in a moment of action. I am a better person because of your investment in my journey. Special thanks to my dear and close friends and mentors: Dr. Stephanie A. McHugh, Dr. Eva Allen, Dr. Marguerite Haldin, Dr. Fran Serenka, Ms. Shannon Small, Kelly, Amanda, Jeri, Jenn, Dana, Nicole, Barb, Jackie, Roger, Rebecca, and Becca. All of you have provided friendship, life inspiration, work inspiration, and have been ideal examples of leadership within my life. I love all of you. Also, I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Dr. Launcelot Brown, chair of my dissertation committee for believing in me, guiding me, and having patience with me. Every email, every conversation, and in every meeting, you had a clear set of expectations and goals for me. Your leadership philosophy allowed me to continually move forward and gain vast amounts of momentum. Thank you for choosing to be my chair and for developing me into a scholar practitioner. A sincere thank you to Dr. Gretchen Generett, for being an active and valued member of my committee. Your encouragement and commitment to my process have been greatly appreciated. viii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page Abstract .............................................................................................................................. iv Dedication .......................................................................................................................... vi Acknowledgement ............................................................................................................ vii List of Tables .................................................................................................................... xii List of Figures .................................................................................................................. xiii Chapter 1: Moving from a Problem to a Problem of Practice .............................................1 Social, Cultural, and Historical Perspectives on the Problem ................................1 Theoretical Frameworks of the Study ....................................................................4 Local Contextual Perspectives on the Problem ....................................................10 Challenges in Rural Yough School District .........................................................11 Leadership Perspective on the Problem: .............................................................16 Specific Problem in the Yough Elementary Schools ...........................................18 Central Research Questions ..................................................................................19 Evaluation of

Kirk, Clinical Associate Professor, Teaching, Leading, and Learning ii Copyright © by Jamie Lusebrink 2021 iii Abstract Evaluating a School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports Program for System Improvement Jamie Lusebrink, EdD University of Pittsburgh, 2021 The place of inquiry implemented a School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS) plan in 2016 with the goal of building a positive organizational climate while reducing the number of discipline infractions and office referrals. Although interventions and supports have been in place since the original implementation of the SWPBIS programming, suspensions and office referrals continue to occur at an alarming rate, particularly in third through fifth grades. These suspensions were creating gaps in learning for students due to the loss of instructional time without effectively addressing the behaviors to reduce further occurrences. This mixed methods study evaluated the current School-Wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (SWPBIS) programming and implementation at the building of inquiry against best practices based on a state-wide model of SWPBIS with the purpose to make recommendations for improvement.

  • 2014-2015 Pennsylvania School District Medicaid Reimbursements for School Based ACCESS Services
    2014-2015 Pennsylvania School District Medicaid Reimbursements for School Based ACCESS Services For nearly 30 years, schools across Pennsylvania have used Medicaid to fund the School Based ACCESS program to cover certain health-related services for Medicaid eligible children. Children covered by Medicaid may receive primary or preventive services in a school-based center, such as hearing and vision screenings. Pennsylvania also uses Medicaid dollars to help schools provide services described in a child’s special education plan under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This includes services such as occupational and physical therapy, nursing, mental health, and aides in the classroom. Medicaid also covers health services for eligible children through the Early and Periodic Screening Diagnosis and Treatment Services (EPSDT). In Fiscal Year 2014-2015, the Federal share of Medicaid funding for Pennsylvania School Based ACCESS services was nearly $145 million. Under the Republican plan to cap Medicaid expenditures, state elected officials may be forced to cut funding to schools that provide special education services to students with disabilities. Below you will find a district by district breakdown of PA school-based Medicaid funding. Intermediate Units highlighted in yellow.
