Subjects: African American Students,Socialization,Middle School Students,Educational Environment,Hispanic American Students,Males,Interpersonal Competence,Self Esteem,Academic Ability,Questionnaires,Early Adolescents,White Students,Student Attitudes,Racial Differences,African American Culture,School Culture,Cultural Influences,Academic Achievement

The purpose of this study was to assess the socialization skills, self-esteem, and academic readiness of African American males in a school environment. Discussions with students and the School Perceptions Questionnaire provided data for this investigation. The intended targets for this investigation were African American students; however, there were 21 students: 18 African American males in grades 6 to 8 from a middle school in eastern North Carolina; in addition, one Hispanic American male and two White males were also observed. The African American males tended to enjoy school, yet they lacked the social skills for effective classroom learning.
Higher Education, Globalization and Economic Development in Virginia

In early 2009, the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia (SCHEV) initiated an effort to assess the status of the Commonwealth's international education programs. A survey was distributed to the public and private institutions, focusing on critical aspects of contemporary international education programs as identified by an ad hoc group of university-based international program directors. The survey inquired about: (1) internationalization efforts of their institutions as reflected by mission statements and strategic plans; (2) inclusion of global concepts in the General Education curriculum; (3) foreign language and study abroad requirements and participation; and (4) international student populations. Institutions were also asked about funding and administrative structure of international program offices, and economic development efforts. This paper contains key findings that will be useful to state decision makers seeking to understand the connection between international higher education and economic development. The paper describes current worldwide and national trends that have given rise to efforts by governments and educational systems to globalize higher education. It examines the current and projected impact of these trends on Virginia's economy, its institutions of higher education, and their students. Lastly, it highlights current successful economic development projects that have aligned with globalized higher education and shapes the lessons learned from these projects into recommendations for Virginia's higher education and economic development leaders.

In Virginia, sufficient state support is essential to the vitality of the state's network of public higher education institutions as it currently exists. Unfortunately, a crisis in the funding of Virginia's public higher education system has been evolving over the last two decades. Between 1992 and 2010, general fund appropriations to public higher education in Virginia fell from 14% to 11% of total state appropriations. It should be noted that Virginia's General Assembly has worked to increase base adequacy funding from 85% of guideline-calculated need in 2004 to 92% as of fiscal year 2008. However, the fact remains that the Commonwealth's support for higher education continues to lag behind most of the country. This report examines how state support for public higher education in Virginia has evolved over time to its current state, as well as the steps being taken by one of its neighboring states to address a similar crisis in the funding of that state's public higher education system. Appended are: (1) Percent of General Fund Support to Public Higher Education in Virginia; (2) Average Funding per FTE Student at Four-Year Institutions (in 2009-10 constant dollars); (3) Average Funding per FTE student at Virginia Community Colleges (in 2009-2010 constant dollars); (4) FY2008 Public Higher Education Support per Student; (5) Resolution from SCHEV Council Meeting Minutes for October 21, 2008; and (6) Eight general principles of higher education funding of the 1973 Carnegie Commission on Higher Education. (Contains 1 table and 12 endnotes.)
Preparing Superintendents for Building Teacher Leadership: Implications for University Programs
Author: Wells, Caryn M.
Date: 2010-00-00
Type: Reports - Evaluative
Subjects: Teacher Leadership,Instructional Leadership,Superintendents,Educational Research,Administrator Education,Higher Education,Educational Administration

This conceptual paper integrates the literature from several research bases: teacher leadership, the superintendency, and university preparation of superintendents. Currently little information exists in the literature relative to the involvement of the superintendent in promoting teacher leadership programs. This paper concludes with suggestions for how university professors can best meet the needs for training superintendents for these transformative roles.

Underfunded Teacher Pension Plans: It's Worse than You Think. Research Brief
Author: Foundation for Educational Choice
Date: 2010-04-00
Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Elementary Secondary Education,Teaching (Occupation),Retirement Benefits,Funding Formulas,Legal Responsibility,Debt (Financial),Financial Problems,State Government

The Foundation for Educational Choice and the Manhattan Institute recently commissioned a new study to examine the emerging crisis of underfunding public teacher pension plans in the states. The implications for public policy will likely be severe in the coming years. Public funding for K-12 education, and the potential for new reforms hang in the balance. In their report entitled, &quot;Underfunded Teacher Pension Plans: It's Worse Than You Think,&quot; authors Josh Barro and Stuart Buck reveal the major disparity between what states report and the true value of unfunded liabilities for teacher pensions. States put the price tag at teacher pension liabilities at $332 billion. The study shows the red ink is actually $933 billion, nearly three times greater, when applying more cautious and realistic accounting methods. This research brief presents the following: (1) a snapshot of the study's key findings; and (2) a list of structural changes that state governments can make that would avoid funding shortfalls and rein in out-of-control public pensions.
