African Americans accounted for 71% of this population (CDC.gov, 2014). The METALS program was a prevention program in Shreveport, Louisiana targeting girls who exhibited delinquent behaviors as defined by Mellins (2011) and was designed to educate participants on the risks, effects, and ways to avoid contracting this virus. The nine African American girls, ages 12 through 16, from METALS served as the participants in this instrumental case study. The researcher so

Abstract:

This thesis explores the phenomenon of shared leadership as it emerged in three primary schools in Aotearoa/New Zealand, during the 1990s restructuring of educational administration. At this time, two 'mainstream' discourses of professional collaborative leadership and neo-liberal managerialism came into 'collision.' The principal's role was re-constituted from being a collaborative instructional leader, to being a chief executive, entrepreneurial manager. Separate contracts for principals and senior school managers detailed managerial tasks, performance standards and accountability lines that

One aspect of this contribution explicated in this thesis is its contribution to the field of Conflict Resolution.

The study was an investigation into the teaching decisions that mathematics teachers make over time.

Prior research has often investigated the teacher's role by comparing teaching practices nationally or internationally, but these comparisons have tended to use the lesson as the unit of analysis.
