This paper describes implementation (fidelity, perceived acceptability) and tier 1 and Tier 2 outcomes of school‐wide positive behavior interventions and supports approach including mental health supports at Tier 2 in two K‐8 urban schools. Interventions for Tier 2 consisted of three manualized group cognitive behavioral therapy (GCBT) protocols for externalizing behavior problems, depression, and anxiety. Tier 1 and Tier 2 interventions were implemented with fidelity but program feasibility for Tier 2 was in question because school personnel needed a great deal of external support to implement the interventions. Tier 1 interventions were associated with a decrease in office discipline referrals. Students participating in GCBT showed a significant decrease in mental health diagnostic severity at posttreatment. A discussion of perceived and actual implementation barriers and how they were addressed is provided. Implications for practice in low‐income urban schools are discussed.  相似文献   

Academic Program Profile: Human Performance Technology in University of West Florida's Department of Instructional,Workforce and Applied Technology     

Nancy B. Hastings  Byron C. Havard  Courtney Hyland  Megan Podsiad 《Performance Improvement》2016,55(10):33-44

The University of West Florida instructional and performance technology (IPT) programs, currently housed in the Department of Instructional, Workforce and Applied Technology (IWAT), have been in place for over 20 years. Intense interactions with potential members of the target population including area public school teachers, school administrators, directors of instructional technology, the US Navy, the Chamber of Commerce, Pensacola State College, and others guided the initial planning processes, aiding in the identification of a framework for IPT competencies needed by regional partners. These same partners continue to provide input today, ensuring that the programs offered are preparing students to meet the demands of today's workforce. Coursework provides students with the critical thinking, communication, and project management skills to examine performance improvement opportunities holistically, taking a systems view and focusing on adding value by concentrating on results and working in partnership with clients and stakeholders.  相似文献   

Under the Magnifying Glass: An Examination of Fundamental Concepts in Mind,Brain, and Education     

Courtney Pollack  Meghan Taevs 《Mind, Brain, and Education》2011,5(3):105-107

This special section explicitly introduces aspects of Mind, Brain, and Education (MBE) in order to help those new to the field develop a better understanding of and participate effectively in MBE. Researchers, policy makers, and practitioners who are already active in MBE will also benefit from the varied perspectives on MBE fundamentals to better understand key concepts in the field. The current issue includes two articles concerning communication in MBE: The article by Tina Grotzer outlines potential barriers to understanding scientific work, and the article by Rebecca Martin and Jennifer Groff presents examples of MBE collaborations in action. Subsequent articles will focus on interdisciplinary work and communication among various stakeholders to address meaningful questions in MBE.  相似文献   

Incorporating Undergraduate Advising in Teaching Information Literacy: Case Study for Academic Librarians as Advisors     

Courtney L. Young 《The Journal of Academic Librarianship》2008,34(2):139-144

The National Academic Advising Association (NACADA) Council for the Advancement of Standards (CAS) provides program guidelines for student learning and development outcomes. These recommended academic advising guidelines parallel those of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) Information Literacy Competency Standards For Higher Education. Both standards focus on student behaviors and outcomes in higher education. The parallels that exist between academic advising and academic librarianship are confirmed by the case study described in this paper, in which an academic librarian served as an undergraduate academic advisor for one year.  相似文献   

Conservation of a contemporary lacquered screen: A collaborative,interdisciplinary, international project involving the artist,fabricators, and conservators from three different areas     

Julia Nagle  Lyndsey Morgan 《文物保护研究》2016,61(3):142-146

This paper discusses issues surrounding the conservation of contemporary art within the private sector using a real example, a freestanding hinged and lacquered screen. The artwork developed severe damage whilst on display in a private collection when a section of the lacquer cracked and delaminated from the bottom of one of the panels, taking paint with it. This significantly compromised its pristine appearance, and preliminary observations suggested that restoration using traditional consolidation, retouching and varnishing techniques was highly unlikely to be successful. Initial contact with the artist led to negotiation with the original fabricator's studio. This highlighted the challenges involved in reinstating the badly damaged paint and resin using an approach that would still be acceptable within the code of ethics of the conservation profession, and the potential problems of sharing information with experts who are not conservators. Part painting, part sculpture and part furniture, the screen does not fall into the standard divisions of conservation practice. Its eventual treatment demanded collaboration between specialists in paintings, sculpture, lacquer work, and conservation science. The paper addresses three areas of importance to the conservation of contemporary art: the challenges of working as an interdisciplinary team to deal with complex (and sometimes conflicting) ethical approaches and material requirements; the difficulty in balancing the desire to preserve original materials with the need to produce a pristine result, and the importance of the artist's ratification of conservation to the market value of the work.  相似文献   

An exploration of the interaction between global education policy orthodoxies and national education practices in Cambodia,illuminated through the voices of local teacher educators     

Jane Courtney 《Compare》2017,47(6):891-907

Abstract

This research is based on a multi-disciplinary and multi-levelled analysis of evidence to present the case that education reform needs to be contextualised far more widely than is currently practised. It focuses on the voices of Cambodian local teacher trainers through interviews over a five-year period. Interview data is triangulated against academic sources, national policy documents and classroom observations. The research reveals how notions of globalisation and knowledge economy have led to education being driven by measurable outcomes resulting in simplified educational policies that have a negative impact on teacher development. By allowing the Khmer teacher trainers to articulate their opinions on a wide range of themes, the interviews provide evidence to support historical and cultural theories proposed by academics working in the social sciences in Cambodia. This approach identifies that a deeper contextual analysis should enable teacher development programmes to be more closely aligned to national contexts.  相似文献   

Does partnership and sustainability really happen?: A case study of an in-service health education programme implemented in one province in Cambodia     

Jane Courtney   《International Journal of Educational Development》2007,27(6):625-636

This paper examines an in-service model of education based on a case study of a Cambodian provincial health project. The model was designed to take account of local experience in the education and health sector and to build effective partnerships between donors and Non-Government Organisations (NGO) working in one province. The aim of the project was to build on existing practices and the understanding, knowledge and attitudes of local communities. The data collected from classroom observations and interviews as the project was implemented was analysed and compared with responses from questionnaires 18 months after additional financial and external human resources had been withdrawn. This evaluation hopes to identify some of the elements necessary for sustainability.  相似文献   

Post-panopticism and school inspection in England     

Steven J. Courtney 《British Journal of Sociology of Education》2016,37(4):623-642

In this paper, I draw on a study of school leaders’ experiences of inspection to argue that repeated changes to school inspection policy in England constitute a post-panoptic regime. Thinking with and against Foucault, I elaborate post-panopticism, here characterised by: subjects’ visibility; ‘fuzzy’ norms; the exposure of subjects’ failure to comply; the disruption of identity-constituting fabrications; its dependence on external ‘experts’; and its neo-conservative devalorisation of the interests of the socio-economically disadvantaged. The paper argues that post-panopticism depends on subjects having become disciplined through panopticism, whose apparatus it employs, and reveals the state’s explicit exercise of power.  相似文献   

The ADHD label,analogue methodology,and participants' geographic location on judgments of social and attentional skills     

Danel A. Koonce  Michael K. Cruce  Jennifer O. Aldridge  Courtney A. Langford  Amy K. Sporer  Terry A. Stinnett 《Psychology in the schools》2004,41(2):221-234

Two hundred fifty‐nine preservice teachers at a medium‐sized university in the Southwest participated in the current study. The participants were randomly assigned to a labeled condition, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, or nonlabeled condition, and were presented a vignette in one of three forms: a written case study, a video clip, or a written case study with a video clip. The vignette described an elementary school aged child displaying disruptive behavior, while the video portrayed a similar aged child exhibiting disruptive behavior in the classroom. Following the presentation of the vignette, participants made judgments about the child's social skills and attentional skills by completing an examiner‐made rating scale. There was a significant main effect for the label condition on judgments of attention; participants in the labeled condition made significantly more negative judgment than did those in the nonlabeled condition. There were also significant main effects for the participants' high school location and vignette treatment. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Psychol Schs 41: 221–234, 2004.  相似文献   

Persuasive impact of loss and gain frames on intentions to exercise: A test of six moderators     

Jakob D. Jensen  Chelsea L. Ratcliff  Robert N. Yale  Melinda Krakow  Courtney L. Scherr  Sara K. Yeo 《Communication monographs》2018,85(2):245-262

The current study situated loss/gain-framing research in the extended parallel process model and tested whether two message features (dose, efficacy appeals) and four individual difference variables (walking self-efficacy, grit, consideration of future consequences, health information overload (HIO)) moderated the impact of message framing on intentions to engage in physical activity. Adults (N?=?341, M_age?=?38.09, SD?=?10.94) were randomly assigned to one of eight message conditions advocating exercise behavior. All four individual difference variables significantly moderated framing effects such that gain-framed messages were more effective for individuals with lower walking self-efficacy, grit, and consideration of future consequences and loss-framed messages were significantly more effective for individuals with higher walking self-efficacy, grit, consideration of future consequences, and for those with lower HIO.  相似文献
