Show moreThis study is a descriptive analysis of a population of public secondary school administrators in the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The Southern Association is composed of eleven states in the southeast region of the United States and presently consists of 2,939 schools. The purpose of the study was to reveal practices which school administrators may follow to improve the management of extracurricular activities in the schools which they administer. The author determined the present status of activities in the schools of The Southern Association with regard to 25 validated principles of management gleaned from the literature. The information collected in 1944 by J. Lloyd Trump in a similar study of the North Central Association was updated and the two studies were compared to determine the differences in the data of 1944 and 1975. The instrument was returned by the administrators in 334 schools in the Southern Association. Practices revealed in the study were evaluated in relation to the 25 principles of management and compared to the data given in the report of 1944. The following conclusions are stated: 1. There is not as much need for precise definition of the place and function of extracurricular activities as there was 30 years ago but some need remains. The place and the function of activities is well defined and accepted in most schools . 2. There is still a need for increased concern over the management of the extracurricular program. The management of finances shows the greatest improvement. Some gain is shown in other areas as well. 3. There is continuing need for frequent evaluation and follow-up in the entire extracurricular program. There has been significant improvement in this area but much more needs to be done. The management of extracurricular activities continues to be a major concern of the public high schools of today. Increased understanding of successful strategies in management will enable administrators to improve the effectiveness of the extracurricular activities program.

This study was designed to examine the perceptions of secondary school assistant principals and deans in Palm Beach County to determine the extent that they perceived their involvement in the decision-making process. Conclusions. It is concluded from the results of these analyses that there are significant differences between the perceptions of assistant principals and deans relative to their involvement in the decision-making process. There are significant differences in their perceptions of the following variables used to measure the perceived extent of involvement in decision making: l) Communication; 2) Motivation; 3) Accountability; 4) Interaction-Influence; and 5) Involvement In Decision Haking. There are no significant differences in their perceptions of the Discrimination variable used to measure the perceived extent of involvement in decision making. It is also concluded from the results of these analyses that there are significant differences between the perceptions of black deans and white deans relative to their involvement in the decision-making process. There are significant differences in their perceptions of the following variables used to measure the perceived extent of involvement in decision making: l) Accountability; 2) Motivation; 3) Communication; and 4) Discrimination. There are no significant differences in their perceptions of the Interaction-Influence and Involvement In Decision Making variables used to measure the extent of involvement in decision making. Additionally, the analyses also indicate significant correlations between the years of administrative experience of assistant principals and deans and their perceptions with regard to their involvement in the decision-making process. There are significant correlations relative to the following variables used to measure the correlations: 1) Involvement In Decision Making: 2) Interaction-Influence; 3) Motivation; and 4) Discrimination. There are no significant correlations relative to the Accountability and Communication variables used to measure the correlations. Finally it is concluded that deans are no less reluctant to assume responsibility in decision making than assistant principals.

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.
