  • An Examination of Standards-Based Evaluation Systems and School Staffing Practices in North Carolina Middle Schools
    QUALITY TEACHERS WANTED: AN EXAMINATION OF STANDARDS-BASED EVALUATION SYSTEMS AND SCHOOL STAFFING PRACTICES IN NORTH CAROLINA MIDDLE SCHOOLS Shanyce L. Campbell A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Public Policy Chapel Hill 2014 Approved by: Gary T. Henry Douglas L. Lauen Karolyn D. Tyson Lora Cohen-Vogel Steven W. Hemelt ! ! ! ! ©2014 Shanyce L. Campbell ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ! ""! ABSTRACT SHANYCE L. CAMPBELL: Quality Teachers Wanted: An Examination of Standards-Based Evaluation Systems and School Staffing Practices in North Carolina Middle Schools (Under the direction of Dr. Gary T. Henry) A quality education has substantial returns such as higher wages, improved health, reduced incarceration rates and increased civic engagement. While there are long-term benefits to obtaining an education, research continues to highlight disparities in the educational opportunities students receive. Recent, policy efforts to improve education for all students has focused on teachers, because they are the most influential school-level factor to student success. This dissertation examines the ways in which school leaders recruit, allocate, and evaluate beginning teachers across North Carolina’s middle schools in efforts to improve student success. Understanding these dynamics can help policy makers create and implement policies geared towards improving the quality of teachers in classrooms. In the first chapter, I use administrative data to examine whether principals’ evaluation ratings of teachers validly reflect teachers’ effectiveness, as measured by value-added scores. This chapter also examines whether principals fairly evaluate teachers based on teachers’ race, ethnicity, and gender.

  • A History of Black Women Faculty at Michigan State University, 1968 - 2009
    A HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN FACULTY AT MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, 1968 - 2009 By Marshanda Ann Latrice Smith A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY History 2012 ABSTRACT A HISTORY OF BLACK WOMEN FACULTY AT MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY, 1968 - 2009 By Marshanda Ann Latrice Smith This dissertation examines the careers of African American women faculty at Michigan State University from the 1960s through 2009. In mid-1960s, during the height of the Civil Rights Movement and the Women’s movement, the first generation of African American females gained employment as faculty members at Michigan State University. This study illuminates the obstacles which African Americans confronted and overcame in East Lansing during this tumultuous period. Moreover, this dissertation examines the coping mechanisms employed by some Black female faculty who encountered institutional racism and sexism on multiple levels at MSU. Finally, I highlight the careers and intellectual women who broke through racial, sexual, and class barriers to become successful scholars in the academy. Black women faculty members worked towards equality of opportunity and social justice accomplishments of African Americans in and out of the classroom. They contributed to changing curriculum and created diverse approaches to learning about race, class, gender and the experiences of other ethnic groups. Outside of the walls of the ivory tower, a number of Black women professors participated in community building by working in social, civic and religious organizations. It is important to note that several scholars published books and essays that sought to assist the African American community on local, national and international levels.

    H-SAWH Benson Brown on Chirhart and Wood, 'Georgia Women: Their Lives and Times, Volume 1' Review published on Monday, October 18, 2010 Ann Short Chirhart, Betty,eds. Wood. Georgia Women: Their Lives and Times, Volume 1. Athens: University of Georgia Press, 2009. 392 pp. $69.95 (library), ISBN 978-0-8203-3336-6; $24.95 (paper), ISBN 978-0-8203-3337-3. Reviewed by Amy Benson Brown (Emory University)Published on H-SAWH (October, 2010) Commissioned by Antoinette G. van Zelm New Collection on Georgia Women Covers Broad Territory Georgia Women offers rich essays on eighteen diverse women from the colonial era through the end of World War I. The depth of thought from the contributing scholars equals the complexities of the women they write about, which is no mean feat. These Georgia women come through the pages of history with elbows out--vivid, extraordinarily persistent, deeply flawed, sometimes funny, and uncommonly canny. The choice of Susie King Taylor's resolute face for the cover of this collection signals that this history of Georgia women is not limited to the real-life counterparts of Scarlett O’Hara or the women whose family names grace prominent buildings around the state. Catherine Clinton describes how as a mere fourteen-year-old Susie King Taylor escaped slavery in coastal Georgia and married a soldier in one of the first black Union regiments. She worked in the Union enclave of Port Royal, South Carolina, throughout the Civil War as a nurse, teacher, and laundress. The record of her life survives, as is the case with many of the other women in this collection, because she penned a memoir of her experiences.
