The Role of Study Abroad Directors in the Internationalization of Higher Education
No full textThis study looks at the preparation and job description for those serving as directors of study abroad on the college campus. For this study three professionals who work in director positions were interviewed as well as their job descriptions were analyzed to determine what the expectations are for those in these positions. Study abroad professionals engage with students, faculty, external agencies, and other educational institutions worldwide. They are required to collaborate with many different constituents in the areas of program development, recruitment, risk management, program implementation, as well as pre- and post-departure orientations
Emailed Support for Implementation Fidelity: The Effects of Email Prompts on Teacher Use of BSP
Get PDFThis study sought to expand the literature on the effects of emailed implementation support on teachers’ use of behavior specific praise. The effects of the intervention on select student outcomes were also observed. Participants were four early elementary school teachers that sought support for implementing research-based classroom management practices. A concurrent A-B-C-D multiple-probe design was utilized to observe changes in the teachers’ behavior specific praise and correction frequencies and their students’ on-task and disruptive behaviors when didactic training, email prompting, and email performance feedback were introduced in separate phases. The results indicated that three of the four participants increased their BSP frequency from the baseline after the introductions of email prompts and email performance feedback, and two of the four participants decreased their correction frequency after the introductions of the emailed implementation supports. All four participants indicated a preference for email performance feedback. Additional effect size analyses indicated notable effects on students’ on-task and disruptive behaviors. Limitations and future directions for emailed implementation support are discussed
Student Perceptions of Inclusive and Culturally Responsive Teaching in the Elementary Classroom
Get PDFThe purpose of this research is to explore student perspectives, as it relates to inclusive and culturally responsive teaching practices. In order to uplift student voices in the elementary classroom, observations and interviews were conducted to collect data on student perceptions. This study found that students believe the teacher’s job is to help everyone, students want a sense of belonging, and students love when their teacher celebrates them. As this research followed students in a bilingual kindergarten classroom, further research is needed in order to grasp a deeper understanding of students, their view, and perception of inclusive and culturally responsive teaching practices

The article closes with Bill’s broader comments, that is, advice on negotiations and the handling of strikes from the administrative point of view
Money Path: A Tool for College, Financial, and Career Planning
Get PDFNumerous websites and applications are available to help college students select a major and future career. Some of these tools ask students about their interests and then make recommendations about occupations that might be aligned with their aptitudes and interests. However, most tools do not inform students about the amount of money they will need to borrow to obtain their college degree, nor do they help students understand the impact that student loan debt will have on their future budgets. This paper discusses another unique financial literacy tool called Money Path, which allows students to develop a personal budget that factors in postsecondary education costs, student loans, and starting salaries in selected occupations
Calming the Body, Calming the Mind: A Pilot Study on the Use of Zero Balancing to Reduce Anxiety
Get PDFBackground: The predominance of anxiety is currently at record levels, and the need for non-pharmaceutical approaches to help alleviate and decrease the harmful effects of anxiety on an individual and collective level is necessary. This study explored how Zero Balancing supports individuals with anxiety to manage their physical, mental, and emotional health more effectively. Researchers hypothesized that Zero Balancing would lower the perceived severity of general anxiety and lower perceived anxiety symptoms.
Methods: To honor the holistic nature of bodywork and the participants\u27 lived experiences, the researchers utilized a concurrent mixed-methods phenomenological research design. Each participant received one Zero Balancing session weekly for four weeks at the certified practitioners’ clinics, totaling 80 sessions for the entire study. Anxiety levels and symptoms were gathered via pre/post session Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) and the General Anxiety Disorder-7 item Scale (GAD-7). Face-to-face, semi-guided, video-recorded interviews were conducted. The quantitative aspect of this study included pre/post assessments reported with descriptive statistics and a paired samples t-test (one-tail). Qualitative data was assessed for themes.
Results: The t-tests (one-tailed) mean rating around the severity of generalized anxiety is (M= 4.75, SD= 5.34, N=20) and was significant (p\u3c.0004) with a A 95% CI [2.25, 7.25]). The t-tests (one-tailed) mean score surrounding the severity of perceived anxiety symptoms is (M= 7.1, SD= 6.987, N=20) and was significant at the (p\u3c.0001) with a 95% CI [3.83, 10.37). Participants reported a decline in the following anxiety symptoms: depressed mood (59%), difficulty in concentration (47%), fears (50%), somatic muscular issues (50%), and tension (49%). Four major themes emerged from the qualitative assessment: regulation, relational ease, resiliency, and wholeness.
Conclusions: Zero Balancing lowered the feeling and symptoms of anxiety. Adding the use of a skilled touch protocol, such as Zero Balancing, to the treatment of anxiety has positive benefits.
