Leaders learning from leaders as an emergent action learning strategy     

Carol A. Mullen  Mariela A. Rodríguez  Tawannah G. Allen 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2015,12(3):344-355

This account of practice describes what three executive leaders in a professional association have learned about action learning and their own practices of organizational renewal. Data are approached narratively and stories are told from the perspectives of diverse educators’ experiences, agency, and expertise. Mature organizations can be revitalized and diversified through the action learning of executive leaders who integrate a new and diverse faculty body into the governance structure and decision-making process. The goal of facilitating diversity goals for established organizations has relevance for universities, schools, businesses, and other learning environments. Public conversations can strengthen the diversity-oriented outreach missions of professional organizations.  相似文献

Handedness has been studied for association with language-related disorders because of its link with language hemispheric dominance. No clear pattern has emerged, possibly because of small samples, publication bias, and heterogeneous criteria across studies. Non-right-handedness (NRH) frequency was assessed in N = 2503 cases with reading and/or language impairment and N = 4316 sex-matched controls identified from 10 distinct cohorts (age range 6–19 years old; European ethnicity) using a priori set criteria. A meta-analysis (N_cases = 1994) showed elevated NRH % in individuals with language/reading impairment compared with controls (OR = 1.21, CI = 1.06–1.39, p = .01). The association between reading/language impairments and NRH could result from shared pathways underlying brain lateralization, handedness, and cognitive functions.  相似文献

An Exploration of the Use of Break Times to Promote the Social Curriculum in Secondary Schools     

Carol Hurni 《Pastoral Care in Education》2001,19(1):3-8

The social curriculum is taught implicitly in many schools and, whilst the new 'citizenship education' attempts to structure this 'hidden curriculum', secondary school break times seem to be providing pupils with opportunities to learn social and citizenship skills. The writer suggests that break times, especially in secondary schools, are an unused resource for developing values inherent in citizenship education. Currently there is little research which includes an investigation into the secondary school break time and which aims to understand the social value of break times. This paper reports such an investigation and suggests that break time is a potential location for the development of skills relating to citizenship.  相似文献   

Excluding Primary School Children – The Outcomes Six Years On     

Carl Parsons  Ray Godfrey  Keith Howlett  Carol Hayden  & Tim Martin 《Pastoral Care in Education》2001,19(4):4-15

This article reports and discusses a study which followed up, through case records, 726 children excluded permanently, indefinitely or for fixed–term periods in 1993/4 in 10 LEAs. The outcomes at secondary level in 1998/9 were found to be moderately poor with the problems intensifying for half the sample. Forty six per cent had further primary school exclusions and 36 per cent received exclusions in their secondary education. Looked–after children and those with special educational needs fared worse and achieved less. Case studies showed the kinds of commitment and support that can work even with very difficult cases.  相似文献   

Partnerships in Learning: A Collaborative Project between Higher Education Students and Elementary School Students     

Peggi E. Hunter  Nisha D. Botchwey 《Innovative Higher Education》2017,42(1):77-90

Higher education and K-12 school partnerships are typically designed with an end-goal that serves the instructional needs of one group over the other. For this project, a university professor and elementary school instructor used problem-based and project-based learning strategies to design a curriculum that served the academic needs of both groups of students. Undergraduate students in an urban planning course partnered with elementary students from a local school to work on an interdependent civic engagement project. The partnership provided innovative, twenty-first teaching for both groups of students while also reinforcing public service.  相似文献   

Action learning as an element within an assessed and supported year in employment for newly qualified social workers: a three-role perspective     

Carol Wells  Ikedola Animashaun  Anneliese Gibb 《Action Learning: Research and Practice》2017,14(2):167-173

The assessed and supported year in employment (ASYE) is employer-led and provides a programme to support and assess newly qualified social workers (NQSWs) working with children and families and adults during their first year of employment. Action learning was brought into Cambridgeshire County Councils ASYE programme as a 12-month pilot from October 2015 to September 2016, with the view of providing an opportunity for the 55–60 NQSWs to develop critical thinking, problem-solving and leadership skills. This paper gives an account of the journey from the perspective of the roles of the accoucheur and action learning lead, ASYE Programme Lead and Evaluator and identifies key learning points. In writing this paper, the authors acknowledge the contribution of their colleague facilitators and the NQSWs who participated in action learning sets.  相似文献
