Climb Above Addiction Image 047
No full textThe Climb Above Addiction cluster project addresses the need for awareness, support, and education for those affected by addiction. The event component of the project, similar to the Relay for Life but with climbing rather than walking a track, raised money to support a scholarship for the Plymouth House recovery program.

IRB Review and Cluster Pedagogical Techniques
No full textInstitutional review boards (IRBs) are facing large and small scope ethical challenges at Plymouth State University as we increasingly engage in Cluster Pedagogy. This 45-minute session will review common ethical issues emerging in classroom-based projects, federal human subjects protections regulations (45 CFR 46), discuss issues related to active and passive parental informed consent in New Hampshire, maintenance of confidentiality in a digital age, and conflict of interest as it relates to a cluster-based learning environment. In addition to the aforementioned important IRB issues, attendees will review several classroom activities that prepare students for future project-based learning endeavors, while not reaching the level of IRB review
Teachers’ Tales Go Online: Digitizing Oral Histories on Cassettes
Get PDFFor a time beginning in the 1970s, cassette tapes were very popular for recording oral histories. Today, these cassettes have exceeded their expected lifespan. Photographs, newspapers, and yearbooks fill many online repositories, but libraries and archives may find themselves wondering how to digitize an audio collection. This article presents a case study of one librarian’s effort to run a pilot digitization project for twenty-one oral history cassettes
How Does Local Land Use Planning Incorporate Land Conservation? An Assessment from New Hampshire
No full textThe development of land results in changes and impacts to the landscape. Conservation science has long recognized that development can alter habitats and ecosystems in numerous ways and land use planning has been promoted as a way to reduce impacts and protect our resources. In the United States, most development decisions are made at the local level by Planning Boards or Commissions and, therefore, it is at this scale where conservation principles often need to be adopted. Despite calls for incorporating principles of ecology and conservation biology in land use planning (Stokes et al., 2009; Miller et al., 2008), there has been little research to assess the extent to which this has happened. This project investigates if, and how, New Hampshire municipalities are using the local land use planning process to conserve land, to preserve biodiversity, and to protect natural resources. Municipal land use documents, such as Master Plans, land use regulations, and local Planning Board meeting records, are being analyzed to determine if conservation tools have been incorporated in the local planning process to help assess how conservation planning is being applied by New Hampshire communities
Theory to Practice: Exploring the Possible Misalignment Between Job Expectations and the Actual Work of the Assistant Principal through the Lens of Leadership Theory
No full textThe purpose of this sequential exploratory mixed-methods study was to explore the possible misalignment between the job expectations and the actual work of assistant principals (AP) in New Hampshire (NH), through the lens of leadership theory. Data from the quantitative Phase I addressed the research question, What is the alignment or misalignment, determined by ranking, of what NH APs anticipated their duties would be and the duties they actually perform? Sixty NH APs completed the survey. Spearman’s rank order coefficient was calculated to analyze Phase I data and resulted in a correlation coefficient value of .633. This value indicates that there is a measure of misalignment. Data was gathered in the qualitative Phase II and answered the remaining two research questions: How do current public school assistant principals in NH describe the alignment or misalignment between what they anticipated their duties would be and the actual duties they perform? How do current public school assistant principals in NH relate leadership theories to the alignment or misalignment between what they anticipated their duties would be and the actual duties they perform? New Hampshire APs reported that, although they view the role of the AP as primarily transactional in nature, they strive to incorporate transformational leadership whenever possible. Assistant principals also expressed their hope and belief that those serving in the role be granted increased decision-making authority, autonomy, in order to better meet the goals of the organization
