This phenomenological study investigated the lived experiences of 6 African American women in predominantly white doctoral programs in educational leadership. The findings showed the women dealt with issues like discrimination from white professors and a sense of white privilege/entitlement from white students. However, they thrived due to mentoring from black professors and bonding with black students. The study aims to give voice to these women's experiences and help universities support minority students and reduce feelings of marginalization.

This article summarizes research on the effects of labeling students as learning disabled. The author reviewed 34 studies from 1970 to 2000 that addressed the impact of the learning disabled label. Four key themes emerged from the literature: 1) Labels can influence the expectations, stereotypes and attitudes of teachers and peers towards students; 2) Labels may lead to stigmatization, rejection and social distance from others; 3) There is a disconnect between expressed attitudes towards labeled students and actual treatment of them; 4) The influence of a label depends on other salient information provided about the student. The author aims to synthesize both qualitative and quantitative research on this topic.

This document discusses two models of decision making - the rational model and bounded rationality model. The rational model involves 6 sequential steps: 1) identifying the problem, 2) generating alternatives, 3) evaluating alternatives, 4) choosing an alternative, 5) implementing the decision, and 6) evaluating effectiveness. However, the bounded rationality model recognizes limitations in people's rationality. Decisions are made at all levels in schools and affect outcomes. Effective problem identification, consideration of alternatives, implementation, and evaluation are essential for quality decision making.

The first framework is for course instructors to balance instructional events, learner interactions, and technologies. The second framework is for administrators to create a simple, stable, sustainable, and scalable technology infrastructure that enables important learner interactions. The frameworks are intended to facilitate constructive dialogues between instructors and administrators regarding technology-related decisions and support for online courses.
Does it Matter? Effects of Language Programs on Hispanic Academic Achievement...William Kritsonis
This document summarizes a study that examined the effects of language support programs on Hispanic student achievement. The study analyzed standardized test score data from 381 Texas school districts with at least 20% Hispanic students. It found a moderate positive correlation between participation in bilingual programs and student achievement. It also found a very strong positive correlation between participation in ESL programs and student/district achievement. Students who did not receive language support showed no significant correlation with achievement. The study concluded that participation in language support programs, especially ESL, is beneficial for Hispanic students' academic performance. However, it noted limitations and a need for further research.

This article discusses the dangers of the synthetic drug K2, also known as synthetic marijuana. K2 was created in the 1990s by chemist John Huffman as part of pharmaceutical research but has since been abused as a legal alternative to marijuana. While K2 mimics the effects of THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, it is potentially more dangerous due to unknown toxins and a longer lasting high. The study assessed 246 college students' knowledge of and experiences with K2. Most students were unaware of K2 or its dangers, though a few reported trying it due to peer pressure. The authors recommend further research on the effectiveness of drug education programs and monitoring trends in K2 use over time as its legal status
This document outlines a service learning project pairing leadership students with a special education classroom. The project aims to create meaningful relationships between students, expose leadership students to careers in teaching, and provide new learning opportunities for both classes. Leadership students will volunteer one-on-one as tutors and assist with art projects, cooking, and classroom tasks over a 12 week period in the fall semester. The goals are to increase interaction, time on task, number of tasks completed, and response time for the special education students.

This study examined predictors of student achievement success related to principal leadership. It analyzed dispositional characteristics like a principal's experience, education level, and self-efficacy. It also considered environmental predictors like gender, school location, and student population. The results showed that a principal's self-efficacy has a moderate influence on student achievement. Gender and student population also demonstrated some predictive influence. The study aimed to determine which principal characteristics most influence student achievement success and to what degree a principal's self-efficacy impacts achievement.
