Perceptions of Experienced Secondary School Counselors from Competency-Based Education Schools Regarding Competitive College Admissions Practices
Get PDFCompetency-based education (CBE) is a movement gaining momentum nationwide. CBE is built upon development of curricula, instructional methods, and assessment of certain skills and abilities, not purely knowledge. These skills and abilities are called competencies. Grading in a CBE-method school is often non-traditional. Rather than traditional A-F grades that appear on non-CBE transcripts, students in some CBE schools receive numeric course grades such as a 2.8 or 3.2. Educational leaders and parents have raised concerns regarding the impact these nontraditional grades may have on students during the college admissions process, particularly when applying to competitive schools.
The purpose of this qualitative interpretative phenomenological study was to examine how school counselors from competency-based schools described their lived experiences during the college admissions process while working with competitive institutions. Findings included the following: Competitive colleges initiate only limited communication with school counselors; colleges outside New England are less familiar with CBE; counselors know that colleges convert student grades to a unique number used to compare student-applicants; and a perception that their efforts to improve documentation were successful, allowing student-applicants from CBE schools to be judged on a level playing field as compared to students from more traditional schools. Recommendations for action included creation of formalized communications pathways between school counselors and admissions staff; development of more commonality in high school profiles and transcripts; distribution of this information to concerned parties; organization of public forums to discuss the impact on college admissions; and professional development for school counselors relative to these findings

Lived Experiences Of Adults Formally Raised By Grandparents On Their Connection To The School Community While In High School
Get PDFThis qualitative interpretative phenomenological analysis sought to understand the lived experiences of connectedness to the secondary school community of children raised by grandparents, told from the reflective viewpoint of the grandchildren now as adults. Although the relationship between grandparents and the grandchildren they raise has been studied, how those grandchildren connect to the school community has yet to be explored and was the focus of this study. Research on grandchildren raised by grandparents and student connection to the school community provided valuable insight, highlighting the need for additional exploration in this area. Education researchers have studied student engagement quite thoroughly, discovering the connection between students and the school community to be a crucial relationship and an essential aspect for all school personnel to consider. Student connection to the school community is key to ensuring successful learning. This connection becomes critical as students progress through high school; however, student engagement has mystified parents and educators for decades. The connection to the school community becomes even more challenging when a student is raised out of the home, either in foster care or relative placement, such as with grandparents. By conducting semi-structured interviews, this qualitative interpretative phenomenological analysis examined the connectedness to the school community of students raised by grandparents and, subsequently, how the relationship with grandparents contributed to connection to the school community. After reviewing and analyzing the transcripts of the interviews, four major themes emerged from the data: (a) compassion for people, (b) loyalty in relationships (c) individual determination and resiliency and, (d) school personnel lack of awareness of students’ support needs. The most noticeable finding in which the study participants unanimously agreed was the need for programs in schools to address the specific academic and emotional needs of students raised by grandparents. All participants reported that generally, educators did not know they were raised by grandparents, and unless they self-identified, educators made the assumption they lived in a traditional family. Each noted there were support programs for students of divorced parents, students who were homeless, or students who were in Department of Children and Families (DCF) or Department of Youth Services (DYS) custody, yet there were no programs or support services for students raised by grandparents. Because of the vulnerability of this population, programming designed to work with these students requires thoughtfulness at local and state levels
Strategies Ambulatory Practice Leaders Use In Optimizing Electronic Medical Record Systems
Get PDFElectronic medical record systems (EMRs) were quickly adopted by ambulatory care practices due to federal government programs encouraging their rapid adoption and implementation. The accelerated implementation and adoption of these digital care systems introduced new forms of administrative burdens that have become negatively associated with the practice of medicine. Research regarding the challenges related to implementing and adopting EMR systems has been abundant. However, there is little research on EMR optimization strategies within ambulatory practice settings. This qualitative phenomenological study explored the lived experiences of ambulatory practice leaders and the strategies they used to optimize EMR systems. The data collected for this study included individual semi-structured interviews with senior leaders throughout a multi-site ambulatory practice in the northeastern United States. Kotter’s (1996) eight-step process for leading change served as the conceptual framework for this research study. The findings revealed several themes and subthemes associated with ambulatory practice leaders and their strategies to optimize EMR systems. This study supported various concepts in leading change that can potentially offer more effective strategies ambulatory practice leaders can use to optimize EMR systems
Needs-Based Standards Of Practice For The Use Of Forensic Genetic Genealogy In Investigations Of Violence Toward Marginalized Victims
Get PDFThe purpose of this qualitative narrative study was to identify strategies by which forensic genetic genealogy can be applied to cases of unidentified decedents who are from marginalized populations. Three research questions guided this study: (1) What is each affected group most concerned about regarding the use of forensic genetic genealogy to identify marginalized unidentified decedents or perpetrators of violent crime against marginalized group members?, (2) How have the past experiences of individuals in the affected groups contributed to their stance on the use of forensic genetic genealogy?, And (3) How do stakeholders’ opinions on the use of forensic genetic genealogy change when applied to cases involving marginalized victims of violent crime versus white, heterosexual, cisgender European-descended victims? Dual process theory and terror management theory were the basis of the theoretical framework.
Narrative surveys were used to gather data. Marginalized respondents were aware of the greater difficulties faced in resolving cases involving a marginalized victim, while non-marginalized respondents generally took a tone of asserting that there are not, or should not be, any differences in the difficulty of resolving these cases. Respondents were unaware of what can and cannot be done with an individual’s autosomal DNA, fueling anxiety and hesitation to contribute genetic genealogical information to forensic investigations. Marginalized respondents were also more likely to respond with empathy to prompts regarding hypothetical victims that belonged to their same marginalized communities, while non-marginalized respondents tended to respond with greater interest in their own personal genealogy following the prompts
Educators’ Perceptions Of The Universal Design For Learning Framework In Support Of Economically Disadvantaged Third And Fourth Grade Students
Get PDFUniversal Design for Learning (UDL) is a set of principles that provides an innovative curriculum and instructional design framework. By eliminating learning barriers across a wide range of learner variations, UDL implementation can enhance teaching and learning. This study explored the perceptions of a sample of third and fourth-grade school teachers in a suburban school district outside of Boston, Massachusetts, implementing the principles of UDL to support the achievement of economically disadvantaged students. The constructivist theories of Vygotsky and Piaget guided the study\u27s conceptual framework. The five prominent themes that emerged from the semi-structured interviews were (1) classroom learning environment, (2) teaching and learning strategies, (3) identifying and supporting economically disadvantaged students, (4) obstacles to implementing the UDL framework, and (5) application of the UDL guidelines. After examining the perceptions of the UDL framework through an interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA), the researcher gathered three findings which were (1) an inconsistent means of identification of economically disadvantaged students, (2) inadequate differentiated instruction for economically disadvantaged students, and (3) a general dissatisfaction with professional development to support continued UDL implementation
