Show moreThe purpose of this study was to determine through statistical analysis of a survey instrument the extent to which the 67 public school district superintendents in the state of Florida perceive the major areas of educational reform as falling into the same categories as does David T. Kearns, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Xerox Corporation, author of "An Education Recovery Plan for America" in Winning the Brain Race: A Bold Plan to Make Our Schools Competitive. Factor analysis was used to group the 36 specific recommendations into their "natural" groupings as perceived by the responding superintendents. This technique revealed that the natural psychological groupings in the eyes of the respondents were not the same as Kearns asserted. The study shows that the reform hierarchy, based on the perceptions of the superintendents, is actually three layers deep with Kearns' six categories being broken down into a bottom tier of 14 discrete areas.

Show moreThe purpose of this research was to assess how prepared Florida's State University System (SUS) institutions have been during the past five years (2008-2013) in responding to the challenges of globalization. The research also established institutional trends for the past five years (2008-2013) and projections for the next five years to seize the opportunities offered by globalization and to produce graduates with global competency skills. Ten of the 12 SUS institutions studied in this research were Florida A&M University (FAMU), Florida Atlantic University (FAU), Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCU), Florida International University (FIU), Florida State University (FSU), University of Central Florida (UCF), University of Florida (UF), University of North Florida (UNF), University of South Florida (USF), and University of West Florida (UWF). The research was conducted as a case study using multi-method approach. The quantitative analysis was based on the information collected from the institutions and from the integrated postsecondary education data system (IPEDS). The qualitative analysis was based on the institutional mission statements, vision statements, and strategic plans. The quantitative analysis used six data parameters to compute a globalization composite index (GCI) for institutional comparisons and for establishing trends and future projections. Integrating quantitative and qualitative analyses led to the research findings of this study. Based on this study, the institutional preparedness for globalization has been low for six SUS institutions (FAMU, FAU, FGCU, UCF, UNF, and UWF) and has been medium for the remaining four (FIU, FSU, UF, and USF). The trend analysis showed that institutional preparedness could be improved significantly if robust and focused efforts are made over the next five years. In that case, the institutional preparedness for FAMU, FGCU, UNF, and UWF could ascend to medium; for FAU and UCF, it could improve to medium+; and for FIU, FSU, UF, and USF, it could reach high. The research concluded with some recommendations to help the leadership of Florida and the SUS institutions in responding effectively to the challenges of globalization. A few recommendations for future research in this field also are provided.

Show moreThe advent of the global knowledge economy and changing demographics have pressured the American postsecondary system to develop flexible alternative educational opportunities for adult learners. One of the most widespread institutional responses has been the development of accelerated courses and degree programs. Accelerated degree programs offer educational opportunities in time frames of less duration than the traditional semester or quarter formats. Concerns for maintaining educational quality make it imperative to develop best practices for the effective design of time-intensive curricula. The study found a strong correlation between student experiences rated in terms of Donaldson's and Graham's principles and perceptions of the relevance and applicability of their learning in their "lifeworlds." No significant correlation was found with GP A. Additionally, no significant correlation was found between perceived success in learning and final GP A. The graduates of associate degree programs at a regionally accredited multicampus proprietary institution in Florida comprised the study sample.

Show moreAs the economy continues to struggle in its recovery from the recent recession, higher education institutions have been hard-hit, affecting stakeholders at all levels, including boards of trustees, students, faculty, and the surrounding communities. In the middle of the turmoil and period of change are the presidents, needing to answer to board members as well as other institutional stakeholders, while still maintaining a balance of organizational consistency and change. Nearly all organizational change literature incorporates interpersonal communication as an integral component in effective change efforts; therefore, the constantly changing higher education landscape necessitates presidents who are skilled in communicative leadership, of which interpersonal skills are a cornerstone. Although all presidents need these skill sets, this study examines only a newly appointed president and one of his change-initiative teams to capture the dynamic environment surrounding new administration.

Show moreThe purpose of this qualitative study was to learn how high school mathematics teachers and school administrators perceived Florida's school accountability system, the A+ Plan. This inquiry was conducted during the spring of 2001, in one of the largest urban school districts in Florida, with a sample of 27 participants, 21 teachers and 6 administrators, pre-selected from a high, an average, and a low performing high school. Data was gathered in the form of tape-recorded interviews, hand written field notes, and document analysis. This study found that the school performance grade, teaching assignment course level, and race or ethnicity were not a source of variability in participants' perceptions. The A+ Plan was unanimously viewed as a bureaucratic reform initiative that used a power coercive approach to obtain compliance. Participants believed that the A+ Plan's fundamental belief that "every child can learn and that no child should be left behind" was unrealistic, and did not share the plan's central assumption that students' performance on the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test is the direct result of their performance as teachers. They believed that students' natural abilities and personal motivations to learn surpass any other variable in determining the students' level of achievement. The FCAT was judged as an ineffective and unfair tool for teachers' accountability purpose because it did not provide information about students' academic growth in a year, and also, because it compared schools that differed in their students' demographics. The participants believed that they should not be held accountable, punished or rewarded for their students' performance on the FCAT because their students' scores on the mathematics section of the test was the outcome of their previous mathematics experience and English language proficiency. They believed that the school grade was merely a reflection of the school population, and that publicizing grades made the hiring and retention of qualified teachers more difficult and damaged their professional reputation and esteem in the community at large. The participants held that the A+ Plan was creating an environment where teachers perceived their work as more stressful and less rewarding because of what they view as unfair and unrealistic standards.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to investigate and to explore the perceptions and experiences of selected educators on the infusion of multicultural education into the language arts curriculum in Broward County, Florida, Public Schools. This study also sought to discover the best practices of those language arts teachers who did infuse multicultural education into their curriculum. Little empirical data exists which elicits the views of language arts teachers about the infusion of multicultural education into the curriculum. Limited research on the middle school level is available. A qualitative single-case study design was used. The study was conducted at multiple sites; and the primary sources of data were interviews, document analyses, and researcher participant and nonparticipant observations. The sample of 48 participants was selected from 9 Broward County, Florida, Public Schools, including 6 middle schools. The sample included middle school language arts teachers, as well as principals, assistant principals, media specialists, teachers of English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), directors of multicultural education, and multicultural resource teachers. Based on the analysis of data, the perspectives and experiences of most teachers were multidimensional. Eight categories of findings relating to the perspectives of language arts teachers on the impact of multicultural education into the curriculum emerged: (a) multicultural education implementation; (b) the theoretical approaches used by language arts teachers to infuse multicultural education into the curriculum; (c) the impact of multicultural education on students, teachers, and the instructional process; (d) social and organizational factors that impact the infusion process; (e) the availability of resources, the authenticity of materials, and challenges encountered in the infusion process; (f) teacher needs; (g) the significance of the affective domain factors that teachers bring to the experience; (h) and standards and matrices. Overall, the participants in this study felt that the experience of teaching and learning from a multicultural perspective was enormously valuable to the self-concept, academic achievement, and the cultural appreciation among their students. The findings indicate that the curriculum that is presented or practiced is gradually moving beyond the lowest level of the additive approach toward a multicultural approach to infusion as suggested in the literature. Most practitioners are at Grant and Sleeter's (1999) single-group studies approach to multicultural education infusion which looks at the infusion of a single ethnic group.

Show moreThe purpose of this study was to discover how ethnicity, gender, and mentoring influenced the career experiences of Jamaican administrators in Sunshine County Public Schools (SCPS), a pseudonym that was used for a large public school district in Florida. This qualitative, phenomenological study focused on the career experiences of eight Jamaican administrators in SCPS. Seven of the participants were all native-born Jamaicans and one was a first generation Jamaican, born in England to Jamaican parents and raised in Jamaica until the age of 14. The researcher gained this understanding by interviewing participants in-depth about how their Jamaican ethnicity, gender, and personal mentoring experiences impacted their personal and professional journey as administrators in SCPS. Findings and conclusions will inform mentoring and educational leadership literature on strategies for success geared toward this understudied population.

Show moreAlthough temporal issues affecting organizations and leaders have been researched, time orientation (preference for one or more of the present, past, and future time frames) and visioning ability of change agents within organizations remain open for additional investigation. This exploratory survey study compared self-reported time orientation (TO) and visioning ability ratings of administrators and faculty at a community college. The research added to the extant literature by contextualizing the measures of the key constructs and extending the research to a novel setting. Scores for all three time frames were assessed in contrast to studies that emphasize future orientation. In addition, TO measures were obtained using an instrument constructed specifically for organizations (Fortunato & Furey, 2009). An adapted version of a visioning ability by Thoms and Blasko (1999) was constructed to address a specified time depth (the distant future) and domains relevant to higher education. Administrators reported significantly higher ratings than faculty on Future TO and visioning ability measures. Future TO scores for faculty were lower in relation to scores on the other two TO scales, but no within-group TO differences were found for administrators. A multiple regression model indicated that Future TO was the best predictor of visioning ability. Faculty teaching in the Associate of Science areas had higher Present TO scores than those teaching in the Associate of Arts programs. TO and visioning ability did not change as a function of gender, age, culture, and years of experience in higher education. The interpretation of the findings was limited by the lack of benchmarks that allow for meaningful comparisons across organizations, and by a continued need to establish construct and predictive validity for the key measures. The research has implications for hiring decisions, for staff development, and for temporal profiling in organizations interested in envisioning the distant future.

Show moreThis dissertation addresses the structural components of education in the United States and how they have hindered the ability of a community's black and brown children to obtain the knowledge and resources needed to succeed and adapt to the changing circumstances of their region and beyond. It will do so through a case study of a small community in the American South, where the failure of education to provide access to the American dream has been clearly demonstrated in persistent poverty and lack of opportunity available to its residents. Belle Glade, Florida is a rural community centrally located within the Everglades Agricultural Area. Fifty years after the historic 1954 Brown vs. Board decision, which outlawed school segregation and the separate but equal claims of Plessy vs. Ferguson, little has changed in this poor rural community. This study shows that this community, rather than representing an isolated case, is reflective of many small non-metro communities of the American South. Though integration initially intended to balance the great disparity that existed between the schools for black children and schools for white children in regards to facilities, materials, and curriculum, in Belle Glade and throughout the South those same disparities still exist today. This study argues that current state education policies, modeled after the federal government's "No Child Left Behind Plan," are a veneer for a separate and unequal educational policy and practice in the state of Florida. It seeks to explore and document why this has occurred, and place this case study within the larger context of structural inequalities on the local, national and global levels. How is it that the "freest nation in the world" with the largest gross national product has yet to fulfill its most fundamental promise to this community---equal opportunity and access to quality education? Thus, this dissertation asks why regardless of the policies, plans, curricula and tests the district and state adopt, at times with the best of intentions, nothing seems to improve the conditions of these black citizens? More importantly, when these issues are addressed, who speaks, under what conditions and for whom?

Show moreSchool choice is a fast growing alternative to traditional public school education across the nation. According to the Florida Department of Education, school choice policies and laws are rapidly moving Florida away from more traditional forms of schooling toward an increasingly evolving school choice state landscape. The purpose of this study was to examine school choice in Florida by investigating the school choice policies enacted by the Florida legislature leading to the school choice environment in Florida today. Specifically, this investigation was limited to legislation in Florida between 1997 and 2014 and further limited to charter schools, home schooling, virtual education, and two choice options specific to Florida in which public dollars follow students to private schools, the Tax Credit and McKay Scholarship programs. These particular school choice options were chosen as the focus of this study because they change the where of education outside of tradit ional public schools. Other choice options such as magnet schools, inter-district choice, and intra-district choice simply move students among traditional public schools but keep them enrolled in traditional public schools. Ultimately the study hoped to provide a possible road map for the future of school choice policies in Florida. This study utilized a qualitative methodology utilizing document reviews and interviews. This study found that school choice policies in Florida have continued to expand and evolve over the years to increase the liberty available to families to choose the education of their children. This study also found that the Florida legislature has laid the groundwork for Florida school districts, through a focus on equality, to take advantage of a portfolio management model to increase student achievement. Although a focus on equality led to the enactment of various school choice options, some of these options have moved away from their original intent to financially benefit specific organizations and groups. Finally, as reported by Holme, Frankenberg, Diem, and Welton (2013), Florida's charter school, virtual education, and home education policies have been enacted as race-neutral policies that have no regard for diversity, which could lead to resegregation.

Show moreStates, districts and schools continuously institute school reforms that propose to meet the needs of all students. Reform efforts come and go at such a rapid pace, it is often difficult for a school to participate in a reform effort long enough to give it a chance to succeed. This study looked at the internal and external contextual factors that contribute to the sustainability of a reform effort within a school. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of the level of integration of the core values of the Coalition Of Essential Schools (CES) into the management and instructional practices of the school and sustainability of the reform effort. This research is based on the belief that reform efforts must be maintained long enough to become the "way we do things" to have a significant impact on student achievement. Thirty schools within Broward County participated in this study. A survey questionnaire was developed by the researcher and 252 responses were returned. This study employed a quantitative study that was correlational in nature. Principal turnover results were surprising, as principals changed, sustainability rates rose. Findings indicate principal turnover and coordinator turnover had little impact on integration levels of the core values into the school's practices. The correlation between a school's socio economic status and sustainability found that schools with high numbers of students on free and reduced priced lunch had lower rates of sustainability. Research also indicated schools who were CES members for more than four years had high levels of integration of the core values into the school's practices. Finally, research showed that teacher turnover had a significant relationship to the level of integration of the core values of the CES into the school's practices and to the sustainability of the reform effort within the school.

The purpose of the research was twofold. First, the research was conducted for the purpose of trying to discover characteristics common to the CES facilitators and coordinators used in this study. Second, the research was conducted to describe the experiences and attitudes of these CES facilitators and coordinators in regard to their school reform efforts. Thirty-seven CES facilitators and coordinators participated in the quantitative part of the study. Thirteen of those 37 were interviewed for the qualitative portion of the research. Research showed that the participants in this study were highly self-directed, lifelong learners who were committed to education and school reform. Besides revealing the participants' perceptions of the benefits of involvement in school reform, the research also showed that many of the participants spent less time in the classroom as their role in school reform increased. Finally, the research showed that there are a growing number of teacher leaders who, having taken on new roles and responsibilities, do not fit in the present school organizational structure.
