Hello everyone, I hope you are all off to a good week! As you know, the Educational Leadership Program underwent some major changes this past fall to meet PDE requirements. As a result, there have been a few changes to the internship. Interns are now required to use the following textbook:

Cunningham, W.G. (2007). A handbook for educational leadership interns: A rite of passage.

Hello Interns:
I have attached Part B in the doc file. Enjoy! Have a 1derful weekend...

Here's the SAS Conference I spoke about Sunday...

PDE's SAS Institute, Bridging Research and Practice, is scheduled for December 5, 2010, through December 8, 2010. The Institute will highlight the Standards Aligned System as a vehicle to enrich curriculum and provide resources for effective classroom delivery. Districts, intermediate units and higher education teacher preparation institutions are invited to attend this four-day event that promises to provide information on current topics, an opportunity to collaborate with colleagues from across the state, and participation in breakout sessions linking SAS to everyday practice. A range of sessions from curriculum mapping to Curriculum Framework to SAS teacher tools will give educators the opportunity to enjoy hands-on experiences and delve more deeply into available resources. All sessions will focus on three overarching Institute goals:

* Use SAS to enhance current practice and improve student achievement

* Use SAS as a resource to facilitate and guide implementation of the National Common Core Standards

* Analyze how the Keystone Exams will aid students in becoming college and career ready

Keynote speakers Jay McTighe and Charlotte Danielson will share their expertise as related to curriculum and teaching while panel discussions will provide in-depth awareness of Common Core Standards and Keystone Exams. This year's Institute will offer small group sessions to both debrief on general session topics as well as delve more deeply into SAS and available resources to enhance professional practice.

----Hope everyone is having a great week! I am in the midst of reading your papers and will be providing feedback soon. As always, email me or call if you have questions.

Section III. Methods and Procedures

Section III describes, in detail, how the study of the problem will be conducted. The research approach and design is clearly identified and justified in this section. This section is typically divided into subsections, and may contain the following, depending upon the approach used: research approach and design, sample and population, data collection and instruments (including scoring methods), procedures (when, where, and how data will be collected), limitations of the research, data analysis methods and procedures, validity and reliability issues as applicable to the method, and ethical considerations.

Critical questions to consider include: Where will the project take place? What population (students, faculty, community) will be used? What instruments (tests, surveys, student records) will be used for data collection? How will the data be analyzed? What tasks will be used in the implementation of the project? How will collaboration with administrator(s) take place?
