Case Study #3 Building a Coalition MGMT 591-10559 Leadership & Organizational Behavior Part I: Group Development The group is at the forming stage. Our textbook states the forming stage is characterized by a great deal of uncertainty about the group’s purpose, structure and leadership. Members “test the waters” to determine what types of behaviors are acceptable. After reading over the case study I was torn between the group being at the forming stage or the storming stage. The group does have purpose as they plan to create an after-school program which will improve school performance both by the students and the teachers.
Critique of the article, ‘School transitions among military adolescents: A qualitative study of stress and coping.’ By: Holly Sandoval PSY 326 – Research Methods Dr. Jason Etchegaray [no notes on this page] -1- Critique of the article, ‘School transitions among military adolescents: A qualitative study of stress and coping.’ School transitions among military adolescents: A qualitative study of stress and coping by Bradshaw, et al (2010) explores the impact of high mobility on the educational success of military students.

Summative assessments are administered to students at certain times to find out what skills students already know and to find out those skills that they do not know. Some examples of summative assessments are: state assessments, district benchmark or interim assessments, end-of-unit or chapter tests, end-of-term or semester exams, and AYP report card grades. Summative assessments can act as tools to assist in evaluating the effectiveness of programs, school improvement goals set, alignment of curriculum, or student placement in programs. One major drawback of summative assessments is that they happen too late in the school year to offer information for classrooms, individualize learning, and provide student interventions. In contrast, formative assessment is a part of the instructional process and is able to provide essential leaning and teaching information to educators.

Program Evaluation (Module 8) Final Project August 15, 2008 Introduction This research paper seeks to analyze programs that assist students with their first year transition into college life. Successful programs can aid in fostering the character and moral development of first year students by providing an environment where students can enhance their social and academic skills within their institution. Oftentimes, a student’s first year in college is viewed as a “transitional year” that sets the foundation for a student’s subsequent years in college.
