The Impact of Grit and Non-Cognitive Skills on High School Special Education Student Success
No full textThis study investigated whether a link may exist between the grit level of students who require special education services and their assignment completion rate and occurrence of in-class behaviors. The study was performed over a ten-week period between October 2017 and December 2017 in a high school in New Hampshire. The study comprised both pre and post-study grit surveys, the delivery in-class grit lessons and assignments specific to the grit lessons. The lessons specifically targeted the development of non-cognitive skills such as perseverance, resilience and motivation. The grit lessons were delivered by the principal investigator to a population of 15 participating students. The results of this quasi experimental study indicate that the grit level of the participating students increased after receiving ten-weeks of grit training. The increases in the grit level of the students did not appear to have an immediate impact on either the assignment completion rate or frequency of in-class behaviors exhibited by the students in the study population. Additional analysis of student grade point averages before and after the study period showed no statistically significant changes as a result of grit training
A Comparison Between Gender and Years of Experience on School Principal\u27s Job Autonomy and Social Support
No full textEfforts to address high levels of principal turnover in the United States have been largely focused on indicators of principal dissatisfaction as reported by those principals who left the position. Using a subset of the National Center for Education Statistics\u27 (NCES) 2011-2012 School and Staffing Survey (SASS) and 2012-2013 Principal Follow-up Survey (PFS) dataset, this study provides an examination of indicators of principal satisfaction as reported by those principals who chose to remain in the position. Descriptive statistics and multiple independent samples t-tests are used to compare the mean levels of job autonomy and social support reported by principals in gender and experience groups. The results of the study can be used by state agencies and local school districts when predicting and examining principal turnover and retention
