Abstract:

Educational Administration<br>Ed.D.<br>This study was designed to identify factors that might influence Pennsylvania public school superintendents in the decision regarding the potential use of single-subject acceleration as a practice for meeting the needs of students in the elementary setting. The research targeted public school superintendents in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, gifted education is mandated by Chapter 16 of the Pennsylvania School Code, yet acceleration policy is left to the local education agency (LEA), the school district.

Abstract:

The focus of this research was to provide recent descriptive information about acceleration policies and practices in Florida elementary schools.

Also, school district policies were examined to determine which types of research-based acceleration options were more frequently used and what procedures were in place to guide the decision-making process. Results from this study indicated that extant acceleration policies only

Abstract:

As the prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) increases, School Psychologists (SPs) and Educational Psychologists (EPs) have an increasing role in assessing children with ASD. The systematic literature review aimed to provide an overview of the tools and processes EPs and SPs are using to assess children with ASD or possible ASD. Studies published between 1996-2016 were identified from four databases. Eight studies met the inclusion criteria, and were analysed using quality and relevance frameworks. Six studies were included in the final review. Commonly used tools are identified and dis

Abstract:

The most thoroughly researched topic in relation to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) is the evaluation of interventions. Despite there being systematic literature reviews identifying evidence-based interventions (EBIs) for students with ASD, it is not clear to what extent educational psychologists (EPs) are using EBIs in their practice. The first paper in this thesis is a systematic literature review exploring which school-based interventions are reported in educational and school psychology journals and highlights the challenges of applying research data to idiographic individual casework.

Through the study, the researcher was able to provide insight on the differences in specific classroom management processes between teachers who had a high number of Positive Behavioral Interventions and Support (PBIS) classroom discipline referrals versus those who had a low number. The phenomenon studied was how the classroom management practices and culture that the teachers developed in their classroom influenced the eff

Abstract:

<p> The purpose of this study was to analyze the research-based leadership practices demonstrated by principals; in addition to how principals managed to lead others to become involved in student achievement. The participants of this study consisted of school principals from seven successful schools in Saint Louis City and Saint Louis in Missouri and Madison County, Illinois. For this study, a successful school can be defined as a school where student achievement met or exceeded the Adequate Yearly Progress targets set by the No Child Left behind Act of 2001. There were also 71 teachers who pa
