- Examining Unique Domestic Migration Processes and Relationships between Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties.

The Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) known as Miami Fort Lauderdale Pompano Beach consistently gains migrants from both the United States and abroad. However, despite the constant increase in population, the domestic out-migration for Miami-Dade County has consistently been more than the domestic in-migration.

Show moreThe Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) known as Miami Fort Lauderdale Pompano Beach consistently gains migrants from both the United States and abroad. However, despite the constant increase in population, the domestic out-migration for Miami-Dade County has consistently been more than the domestic in-migration. Recently a similar trend is occurring in Broward and Palm Beach Counties. The continual gain in population despite the domestic out-migration is mostly due to the large international in-migration for the region. Using data from the Internal Revenue Service, this paper discusses the migration of domestic populations and determines if possible new trends exist for this MSA. Furthermore, income data collected from the IRS was used to establish any possible relationship between migration and income.

Show moreParent involvement literature reveals that parents play an important role in student academic achievement. The School Advisory Councils are the major outlet for parents to engage in decision-making and advocacy skills in Broward County. The School Improvement Plans are the major output of the School Advisory Councils and this document contains many strategies that schools should follow in order to increase achievement. The purpose of this study was to determine if School Improvement Plans and school decision-making and advocacy had any correlation to academic achievement. The researcher investigated this utilizing two research methods: a survey to investigate if school decision-making and advocacy were correlated to student academic achievement; and content analysis to investigate if School Improvement Plans were correlated to student academic achievement. The study gathered data from 38 middle schools and 29 high schools in Broward County, Florida, during the academic year of 2004-2005. The researcher used standard five of the National PTA Standards for Parent/Family Involvement Programs to design the Decision-Making and Advocacy Survey to determine the perceptions of decisionmaking and advocacy. The researcher surveyed two of the key players with leadership roles of the School Advisory Council: the principal and the SAC chairperson. The survey was pilot tested for its reliability. The researcher also used the School Improvement Plan from each middle school and high school in Broward County in order to conduct the content analysis. The survey and content analysis data were analyzed using linear correlation, multiple correlation, and multiple regression. A major finding of this research was the significant correlation between the Math strategies found in the School Improvement Plans and the Math achievement scores, as well as the correlation between the Writing strategies found in the School Improvement Plans and school grades. In general, it can be concluded that the strategies found in the School Improvement Plans may increase student achievement, particularly in Math and Writing.

The son of poor dirt farmers, Clark won a surprising upset victory in the 1932 election and began serving the first of five consecutive terms in office. Noted for his personal generosity toward residents, Clark became politically powerful in the state and used his influence to provide economic benefits for the county. He also permitted illegal gambling because it provided revenue and jobs for residents. After the Second World War, many residents wanted illegal gambling to end. Clark was suspended from office by Governor Fuller Warren after a U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee investigation exposed his ownership of the Broward Novelty Company, which allegedly owned slot machines and administrated an illegal lottery.

This study aimed to analyze factors that predict job satisfaction and stress among Broward County teachers. A modified version of the WeBS survey was used to collect data on teachers' demographics, attitudes, and experiences related to job satisfaction. The sample used in this study was delimited to include only full-time teachers in Broward County Schools.

A modified version of the WeBS survey was used to collect data on teachers' demographics, attitudes, and experiences related to job satisfaction. The sample used in this study was delimited to include only full-time teachers in Broward County Schools. Six research questions provided the foundation of the study, which was operationalized by Astin's (1993) input environment outcome model (IEO). A descriptive analysis described the sample's individual and institutional characteristics and demographics. Correlational analyses were conducted to determine the strength of the relationship between variables. Finally, the data were analyzed using hierarchical, multiple regression. The regression model explored factors predicting job satisfaction and job stress among teachers. This study reported statistically significant results for each regression model. Statistically significant at p < .001, the factors that explained 55% of the variance in the final job satisfaction model included: How do background characteristics (e.g., sex, ethnic origin, and age), behavioral factors (e.g., openness, intrinsic motivation), and institutional variables (autonomy, student behavior, leadership, and school climate and culture) predict teacher job stress in Broward County? Implications for policy, practice and future research regarding job satisfaction and stress are included.

This thesis is a study of economic forecasting in a regional context~ Its main concern is the exposition of the models and the feasibility of the techniques, rather than the actual forecast. The study should be of interest to students of forecasting or regional economics, or to planners interested in the region examined. A shift-share model is presented as an alternative to other regional forecasting techniques, and an application of it is performed on a region consisting of Broward and Dade...

- Abstract/Description
-
An input-output model was applied to 1972 Florida Gold Coast regional data, by reducing the 1967 National Input-Output table using the simple location quotient technique of Schaffer and Chu. Input-Output theory and several location quotient techniques were presented prior to the actual exposition of the Gold Coast model. Examples of applications of the model to problems of the region, such as the impact of tourism and housing developments were presented, along with results of the model, and a...

Show moreDuring the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, Broward County blacks established their place in the ranks of freedom fighters. The Supreme Court decision of 1944 in the case of Smith v. Allright opened the door for the black community to become involved in the political process. Jim Crow laws were eliminated throughout the south. Other covert barriers are now being overcome. At-large elections that prevent black representation are being overturned. Annexation of black neighborhoods has still not been accomplished to any great extent. As a result, thousands of Broward's black residents have no voice in municipal government. Qualified black residents are not registering to vote in numbers that reflect their population. Despite fair housing legislation, discrimination in housing is rampant. Police departments have yet to meet agreed quotas of black officers under federal consent decrees. Overt racism is not an acceptable attitude today, but covert racism is alive and well.
