WeValue for Business offers values-based organizations the tools to identify, through broad participation and a combined bottom-up and top-down process, how they wish to give expression and life to their values, to assess the current reality, to listen to the expectations of their people and to embark on a journey of continuous improvement.
The document discusses different educational philosophies and provides definitions for key terms related to philosophy. It begins by outlining some basic philosophies like idealism and realism. It then discusses specific educational philosophies such as essentialism, progressivism, pragmatism, and existentialism. The document also provides definitions for analytical philosophy, axiology, behaviorism, epistemology, metaphysics, ontology, and other terms relevant to the study of educational philosophies.

This document provides guidance on developing institutional effectiveness and assessment plans. It begins with an introduction to assessment planning at Prairie View A&M University, including the creation of an assessment coordinator position. It then discusses the purpose of assessment and institutional effectiveness in meeting accreditation standards. Finally, it outlines Prairie View A&M University's mission, core values, goals, and a brief history to provide context for developing effective assessment plans.
Financial controls a safeguard against misuse of public funds-nfeasj v27 n4...William Kritsonis
The document discusses two methods of financial controls used by school districts: internal control and financial audits. Internal control involves policies and procedures implemented by the accounting unit, such as formal organization, separate financial accounts for each unit, and separation of asset handling from record keeping. Financial audits, which can be external or internal, independently verify that accounting principles were correctly applied and financial reports are accurate. Both types of audits examine areas like cash flow, accounts receivable, inventory, fixed assets, loans, and revenues/expenditures. Financial controls help administrators safeguard resources and ensure their efficient and effective use.
This document discusses Ayn Rand's philosophy that the ultimate moral value of man is his concern for his own well-being, which allows him to live a purposeful and fulfilling life. Rand rejects the idea that a man's self-interest can be determined by desires or feelings alone, but rather must be guided by rational principles chosen by the individual. The document outlines Rand's argument against the ethics of altruism, which requires self-sacrifice, and instead promotes selfishness and individualism as virtues when guided by reason. The purpose is to bring clarity to ethical issues confused by altruism through discussing Rand's view of man's right to a moral existence and code of values.
This document analyzes student mobility rates and academic achievement at a selected elementary school. It finds that 17-18% of students experienced mobility in recent years. The highest rates of mobility occurred between pre-K to 3rd grade. State test scores declined significantly from 3rd to 5th grade in math and reading, coinciding with increased mobility. While more research is needed, the findings suggest student mobility may impact academic achievement and should be more closely examined.
The document summarizes a research paper that explores performance or variable pay for teachers. It discusses how performance pay is common in business but rare for teachers, who are typically paid on a fixed salary schedule. There is growing political and business pressure to implement teacher performance pay to improve outcomes. The paper reviews the limited existing research on the impacts of performance pay on teacher recruitment, retention and student achievement, and calls for additional quantitative studies to evaluate these impacts, particularly in large school districts with high teacher turnover at high-poverty and minority schools.

This article analyzes student mobility rates and academic achievement at a selected elementary school. It finds that the school had a 17% student mobility rate in 2003-2004, increasing to 18% in 2004-2005. Most mobile students moved 2-3 times between pre-K and 5th grade. Mobility was highest in pre-K and K but increased in later grades. State test scores declined significantly from 3rd to 5th grade in the same period that mobility rates increased. While the relationship between mobility and achievement cannot be proven, the findings suggest student mobility may impact academic performance and should be studied further.
This document discusses the use of problem-based learning in teacher education programs. It notes that teacher education programs face many challenges in preparing teachers, such as high-stakes testing, classroom diversity, and scrutiny over teacher quality. Problem-based learning is presented as a way to better equip teacher candidates by having them solve real-world educational problems rather than just memorizing standards and strategies. Two models of instruction are compared, with problem-based learning argued to be more effective because it immerses students in research and helps them develop into teacher leaders better prepared to meet today's educational challenges.

This study examined school board presidents' implementation of continuous improvement practices in their leadership. A survey of 164 school board presidents in Illinois found they perceived moderately high implementation of continuous improvement. However, survey items did not load clearly into the 7 categories of a continuous improvement model. Additionally, no relationships were found between implementation and board members' experience or district characteristics. The study identifies areas for further developing board members' continuous improvement skills, such as evaluating meetings, benchmarking other boards, and engaging communities in goal-setting.
