Leafy Sea Dragon, Phycodurus sp.
Get PDFArtist Statement
Leafy sea dragons, Phycodurus sp. are part of the Syngnathidae family. Syngnathidae is a genus made up of seahorses, pipefishes, and sea dragons. All three of the species are known to have beautiful patterning. However, leafy sea dragons got their name from their leafy appendages like their fins and limbs. The reason I chose to draw a leafy sea dragon is due to my own interest in astrobiology. Astrobiology is the study of life in the universe and astrobiologists look for signs of life within the universe. I would like to be an astrobiologist one day and focus my time on looking for life in the suboceans of other planets and moons, like Saturn’s moon Enceladus. Our oceans are filled with life that ranges in size, color, and shape. That biodiversity leads to species of animals that look like they are from out of this world which is why I draw my inspiration from our oceans here on Earth. Even with species we do know about in our oceans, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) states that scientists estimate 91% of species still haven’t been found. When I first came upon the picture of a leafy sea dragon, its unique beauty and body made me think of something out of a scientific novel and I could imagine someone finding something similar to it on another watery planet. I wanted to showcase the beauty of leafy sea dragon with a drawing technique my late mother used while working as a landscape architect, stippling. Using stippling allows the viewer to see the intricate patterning of the sea dragon as well as show the curvature of its leafy fins and limbs
Florida’s Principals’ Perceptions of Their Principal Preparation Program: A Study of How Preparation Programs Impact Efficacy as a School Principal
Get PDFIn 2020, the National Association of Secondary School Principals revealed that a staggering 42 percent of principals plan on leaving the profession and that compounds the already alarming rate of teachers leaving the field (National Association of Secondary School Principals, 2020). More locally in Florida, the landscape of educational leadership has changed quickly also adding to this problematic exodus of principals. In order to better understand the principal experience in Florida, particularly with principal preparation, this study seeks to understand how principal preparation, specifically Level II certification preparation, influences efficacy once at the helm of a school. This research uses a modified version of Megan Tschannen-Moran’s Principal Sense of Efficacy Scale survey to gauge the perceptions of current principals to inform practice of preparation for leaders of tomorrow. Results reveal that descriptive statistics provided valuable insights into how principals across Florida perceive the impact of their preparation program on their effectiveness. Notably, the utilization of independent-samples t-tests uncovered a significant correlation between gender, particularly female gender, and principal perception. However, when examining the relationship between race and years of service through one-way ANOVA statistics, no significant connections were found, suggesting that these factors did not strongly influence principal perception of their preparation. In a conclusive manner, regression analysis indicated that gender, race, and years of service did not serve as significant influencers on principals\u27 perceptions of their preparation program\u27s efficacy impact. Overall, findings from this study indicate additional research is needed to better understand how efficacy can increase in not just all principals as the result of preparation but also specifically with female principals. Research consistently indicates that principals have the second greatest impact on student outcomes, just behind teachers. When Florida principals express only moderate confidence in their leadership abilities, it raises concerns about their performance in schools. This gap between theoretical knowledge and practical implementation negatively affects students, who deserve better. To address this issue, more attention should be given to developing robust preparation programs that are meaningful and impactful in shaping and sustaining effective principals. By doing so, we can ensure that students receive the best possible educational leadership and support for their academic journey
