Self-Efficacy Development of Aspiring Principals: The Perceived Impact of Principal Preparation Programming
Get PDFGood principals are the foundation of good schools and are important to student achievement. The principalship is becoming more complex due to increased student diversity, changing family dynamics, an increased reliance on technology, economic conditions, accountability measures, and changing cultural factors. At the same time there is an increased demand for principals due to retirement rates and a decreased number of applicants for the role. The purpose of this instrumental case study utilizing a mixed methods approach, was to investigate the impact of a school division’s principal preparation programming on the reported self-efficacy of participants preparing for their first principalship in a large urban division. A survey was distributed electronically to potential participants, all of whom had completed a division’s Aspiring Principal Development Program (APDP) over a three-year period. Of 85 potential participants, a return rate of 79% provided a final N value of 67 participants Twelve survey participants were chosen to participate in two focus group interviews. The findings of the study were summarized in three themes related to the development of self-efficacy by aspiring principals: (1) leadership identity, (2) process and content: critical components, and (3) context.
These themes contain elements related to Bandura’s (1986) four sources of self-efficacy development and the tenants of Knowles’ (1972) Adult Learning Theory. This study informs the design of principal preparation programming to ensure that participants develop not only the skills and knowledge needed to be successful in the principalship, but the self-efficacy to put the skills and knowledge into practice
Neuronal loss in the Prelimbic Cortex, not the Infralimbic Cortex in a mouse model of Huntington\u27s Disease
No full textWe utilized immunofluorescent techniques to investigate neuronal and glial changes in the infralimbic and prelimbic subregions of the mPFC, two regions that innervate the nucleus accumbens shell and core respectively. Results indicated significant neuronal loss in the prelimbic cortex of HD mice compared to controls at 15 weeks
Healthcare professionals perception of telehealth use in primary and specialty care settings
Get PDFThe advent of the Covid-19 pandemic at the onset of 2020 fundamentally altered and disrupted the health care industry. One key aspect of this disruption was the exponential use of telehealth. This explosion of telehealth use came mostly out of necessity. Therefore, it involves a lot of trial and error, so pinning down an optimal approach for using it during the pandemic and beyond becomes crucial. In this paper, critical aspects of telehealth via a practitioner survey are explored. The in-depth analysis of the data proceeded by using descriptive statistics and a data mining approach. The material synthesis concludes that understanding the concept of provider connectedness may be the key to better care coordination within and among large health systems for varying degrees of case complexity and case sharing. Also, that provider setting is likely the most important driving factor in any future optimization of telehealth
