Hello! I am a doctoral candidate with Northcentral University working on my dissertation research project. My study is designed to explore teachers and principals’ beliefs about their ability to positively affect student learning while operating under state and federal accountability sanctions. The purpose of this study is to identify critical behaviors or policies which may not have been considered when designing school reform.

This study will take place in two phases for participants. Phase 1 will involve completing a survey which measures self-efficacy of teacher or of principals. Phase 2 will involve interviews of 15 to 20 participants and will be conducted by phone or by webcam. The surveys consist of 24 questions and will take approximately 30 minutes or less to complete. The interviews will take no more than an hour.  The results from this study will be used to recommend targeted professional development in areas which teachers and principals identify as being critical to increasing their self-efficacy for raising student achievement.

If you have found this short description of my study to be intriguing and you are interested in being a part of it please click the appropriate link below to gain access to the letter of informed consent and the survey which pertains to your current position. I am most interested in teachers 3^rd through 8^{th grade}. For further information or questions please email me at tac014vr@gmail.com and I will respond back within 24 hours.

Really struggling with student growth models as they relate to teacher evaluation. The state of Illinois will be implementing this bin the next few years. So far there is very little guidance or models. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi Debra, A colleague and I mentor aspiring principals and network with practicing practicing principals using online tools.  If this is something that would be helpful to your cohort, please do not hesitate to contact me.  Happy to help!

My colleague and I in the process of creating a cohort of administrators within our school district who completed their admin internship but due to a shortage of new opening they returned to the classroom. We would like to provide for them professional growth opportunities and guide them through identifying their strengths and needs using the ISLLC frameworks. Has anyone provided a continued support system in their district for new administrators who are still in the classroom?

I've been working in federally-funded grant programs to support schools for the past few years. I'd like to share some free resources for administrators:  http://www.niusileadscape.org/pd offers ready-to-deliver professional learning on a variety of topics, and http://nichcy.org/schools-administrators has useful information on serving students with disabilities, including legal requirements, discipline, and effective use of paraprofessionals. I've worked with some really dynamic principals over the years, and I know that you all need a variety of tools at your fingertips to manage the complex work of schools (especially in these hard budgetary times).

Good morning.....calling all teachers, students, colleagues, etc...

I sincerely apologize if any of you are receiving this message more than once. We are trying to reach as many teachers/students as possible around the world. It's possible that you're a member of more than one of the groups I have joined. My apologies!

My name is Rossel Mulaire. I am a Canadian teacher who has been living and working in Monterrey, Mexico since 2004. For the past two years, I have been teaching 8th and 9th grade Social Studies/World History. My other responsibilities include being our school's Model United Nation's advisor and Social Studies Department Head. I have taught many different grade levels (first through tenth grades), in Canada, South Korea, and Mexico.

I recently started a little project on Twitter with my 8th and 9th graders, tweeting daily about historical facts and events, sort of like a "this day in history". We are wondering if you'd be able to give out our twitter address to students and teachers. Not only wherever you find yourselves now, but anywhere else you may have contacts. We see this as a great way to teach and appreciate history, bit by bit, one small step at a time. We are trying to use technology to reach more students, and to open dialogue with students and teachers around the world.

If you are in a position to help us, please do so by JOINING US ON TWITTER and by sending our twitter address to students and colleagues, past and present. Ask them to follow our many daily tweets. At the moment, we are tweeting about historical events and facts from around the world. We'd love to see students commenting on our tweets, and also, by adding to our project by posting historical content from their respected countries.

We are hoping to hear from teachers and students from all  parts of the world! The students are keeping a record of the various countries following us! Please help out by following us. The more people (students, teachers, family members, etc) we have following us, the more excited the students get. This excitement then becomes a motivator to continue! Help us make learning about history a little more interesting!

Our  twitter address is: www.twitter.com/rosselmulaire

Please feel free to contact me anytime. I'd be happy to answer any questions or doubt you may have.

Rossel Mulaire

Colegio Euroamericano,

8th and 9th grade Social Studies teacher

Social Studies Department Head and Model United Nations Advisor
