There are many reasons why someone decides to embark in a doctorial journey. I started this journey with aspirations to improve as a professional. To my surprise, this program has had a positive impact

not only in my professional life but also on a personal level. I don’t know what the future will bring, but I know that my way of seeing/perceiving things has been changed for the better.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Dr. Kelly: Don’t worry about where you are, it’s where you are going that matters. “Excellence is a choice.” Bridges and tunnels and

school reform: It’s the system stupid (p. 13 )

Dr. Inserra: If you are using a survey, FIND ONE. For your dissertation, do not

let it get away from you, do a little everyday.

Dr. Perry: Consider the mediator variables

Dr. Tatum: Words have meaning. Go as back as you need to, do the research,

find it- NO as cited in, get original source Dr. Morote: What would your epitaph read? “You are too philosophical.”

Dr. Walter: Teacher’s contract: If it is already a law, it does not need to be in it; be careful with preambles. Do you live what you

believe in?

Future Plans

I aspire to hold a leadership position in which I could use my experience as a technological educator and all of the leaderships skills that I’ve learned through this program to move any educational program from good to great

I would like to:• devote time, energy, and passion to help improve the

quality of teachers’ education using educational technology

• Make the world a better place through teachers ‘education

The Purpose of EducationWhat should be the aim of schooling in the United States?

To awaken within a child a passion for learning in order to develop lifelong learners

To help students see learning as life itself, and not just as a vehicle to a better future. The ride, as well as the destination, are equally important as both compose an individual’s life

To teach children about finding the balance of success, as determined by money and power, and success as determined by a person’s happiness and wellbeing by making a difference in ones own life as well as in others; to see success beyond a monetary value

To help students realize a teacher is a facilitator and they should be in charge of own learning and not to be afraid of taking initiatives

Skills, Strategies and Tactics of a Good Negotiator

This literature review identifies skills, strategies and tactics that good negotiators employ to achieve desire objectives:

Having strong alternatives (gives negotiator more power) Being aware of the opponent’s goals, (Tangible-financial outcome vs. Intangible- feelings of

winning/beating the other party) Planning strategies Observing for verbal and non-verbal cues Networking Articulation of goals Knowledge of the process Awareness of the negotiation stages

Stages:• Early Stage, the initiation in which each side states its positions• Second Stage, problem solving, in which parties are less competitive but each side is protective of its original

position• Final Stage, resolution, in which both parties work to achieve a joint solution trying to agree in order for

settlement to take place

Transformational LeadershipTransformational Leadership is stimulating followers to perform

beyond the levels of expectations

This literature review summarizes and analyzes the foundations of transformational leadership and how it is applied in school leadership.

It was concluded transformational leadership displays multiple intelligence qualities and that transformational leaders need to know when to make use of their managerial skills versus their leadership qualities.

Naïve Realism

• Also known as direct realism or common sense realism, is a common sense theory of perception

• “Naïve realism claims that the world is pretty much as common sense would have it. All objects are composed of matter, they occupy space, and have properties such as size, shape, texture, smell, taste and color” (Art & Culture,2011)

• Very often it is our previous experiences that shape the way we see, perceive things. Therefore, there are multiple ways to see things

For example, an experiment might be defined by two parameters, such as treatment and time point. One-way ANOVA tests would be able to

assess only the treatment effect or the time effect. Two-way ANOVA on the other hand

would not only be able to assess both time and treatment in the same test, but also whether

there is an interaction between the parameters. A two-way test generates three p-values, one for each parameter independently, and one measuring the interaction between the two

parameters. 9804

Superficial Learning “Although a good deal of money is spent on

staff development in the United States, most is spent on sessions and workshops that are intellectually superficial, disconnected from

• Management assumes employees are inherently lazy and will avoid work if they can and that they inherently dislike work

• Workers need to be closely supervised and comprehensive systems of controls developed

• A hierarchical structure

• Work is as natural as play (ambitious / self-motivated)• Employees seek out and accept responsibility to exercise

self-control & self-direction in accomplishing objectives to which they are committed

• Given the right conditions, most people will want to do well at work

• The satisfaction of doing a good job is a strong motivation

Philosopher/ Theorist/ Theory

Notes

Bell Hooks (1952- ) (nee Gloria Watkins) Hopkinsville, Kentucky

Anecdotal giving examples from her own experiences/ education of young human beings should involve much more than simply molding them into future workers or citizens/Education should be understood as the art of cultivating the moral, emotional, physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions of the developing child

Ivan Illich (1926 - 2002)From Vienna (father engineer)

Deschooling: learning institutions are incapable of providing the best possible education/ Life long learner

Paulo Freire (1921 - 1997) Brazilian educationalist

Pedagogy of the Oppressed dialogue has struck a very strong chord with those concerned with popular and informal education praxis (idea action)/ Practice is often depicted as the act of doing something

Erich Fromm (1900-1980) psychoanalyst social theoristMexico

faith means to dare, to think the unthinkable; The Art of Loving individual troubles and public issues/ religious understanding, a humanistic ethic & a vision of possibility -Man For Himself (1947)

ConfucianismConfucius twin concepts of jen & li

Jen- that which makes us most human; human-heartedness; benevolence.Li- general principles of social order; the five relationships.Yi- the moral disposition to do the right thing; the moral senseHsiao- reverence, especially filial piety; reverence for parents.Chih- moral wisdom: knowledge of the principles of right and wrong

Nel Noddings (1929– ) American feminist

feminine" ethic of caring/ caring and relationship both as an educational goal, and as a fundamental aspect of education

Yaqui (Native American Community, Arizona)

YAQUI WORLDThe Surem are little people, somewhat like the leprechauns of Ireland/ Ecological balance is still a very strong notion in the Yaqui value system/ Five separate worlds: the desert wilderness world, the mystical world, the flower world, the dream world, and the night world.

Summary of Ethical Principles Philosopher/Theorist

9816

Aristotle (384 BC - 322 BC)Greek critic, philosopher, physicist, & zoologist

• Education is the best provision for the journey to old age

• All men by nature desire knowledge

• Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work

Happiness depends upon ourselves

Multiple Regression

• The multiple linear regression model is an extension of a simple linear regression model to incorporate two or more explanatory variable in a prediction equation for a response variable. It helps to estimate very complicated models with large numbers of variables.

• Which variables are significantly contributing to the dependent variable?

9804

APA Style Is there any mean differences between the pre and post

technological test after on semester of training in instructional technology?

A paired-sample t-test was conducted to evaluate whether one

semester of training if instructional technology changed the frequency of technology used in the classroom. The results indicated that the mean of the post –test (M= 3.63, SD=1.01) was significantly greater than the mean of the pre test (M=1.15, SD = 0.36), t(26)=13.22, p<0.01. The standardized effect size index, d, was 2.54 which was a large effect size.9803

Beneficence

An action that is done for the benefit of others. Beneficent actions can be taken to help prevent or remove harms or to simply improve the situation of others. Beneficence can also include protecting and defending the rights of others, rescuing people who are in danger & helping individuals with disabilities

9816

Consequentialist

• A theory of value that judges the rightness or wrongness of an action based on the consequences of the action. For example, utilitarianism ``that action is best that produces the greatest good for the greatest number'' (Jeremy Bentham)

Example: Teleological

• A non-consequentialist theory of value judges the rightness or wrongness of an action based on properties intrinsic to the action, not on its consequences.

Example: Deontological

9816

Virtues

• Prudence: foundational virtue permeating all decision making

• Justice: distributive, legal, and commutative• Fortitude: helping administrators overcome

obstacles and look beyond fears• Temperance: balance between responsibility

The Policy Primeval Soup I took (the draft bill) into the Senator- I was an eager young fellow at the time- and we engaged in pleasantries. After about twenty minutes, he indicated that I should leave. I said to him, “But senator, don’t you want to ask me any questions about this, discuss

the policy implications or anything?” “No,” he said, “I’ll just introduce it tomorrow.” “But Senator,” I said “aren’t you even going to read the bill?” “No,” he said, “I’ll just

introduce it tomorrow.” Then he said, “Let me tell you something. We’ll introduce this tomorrow, but it will take twenty to twenty-five years for it to be brought into being. If

it takes that long, there’s not much point in my looking at the bill now, is there?”
