How do on-site teacher educators approach professional development? A study of insider/outsider hybridity

ABSTRACT In-service professional development is important for improving teaching. However, little research has examined how the roles, beliefs, and backgrounds of the individuals providing professional development can best be leveraged to create effective professional development programmes. A particularly understudied group are community-based On-Site Teacher Educators (OSTEs) who can serve as the bridge between university-based faculty and school employees. OSTEs are aware of the realities of classroom spaces, yet work outside of them, giving them a hybrid capacity to support teacher learning. In this exploratory qualitative multiple case study, the perspectives and practices of three OSTEs are examined as they supported elementary science teachers (n = 119) in multi-year professional development. Findings indicate that OSTEs have strong alignment between their professional development practices and their beliefs about knowledge and learning. OSTEs revealed that they are introspective about managing the gap between university faculty and classroom teachers. Cross-case analysis revealed that OSTEs identify a tension between affirming teachers as professionals and productively challenging teachers’ assumptions. To address this, they use modelling, co-teaching, and dialogue inside a stance of teaching as intellectual work. In sum, this research suggests that professional development provided by OSTEs can lead to transformative change in schools.

Abstract 13107: Addressing Sudden Cardiac Arrest: An Analysis of the Efficacy and Implementation of Automated External Defibrillators in New Jersey Schools

Introduction: Out of hospital sudden cardiac arrest is a major health concern with a low survival rate. Proper Automated External Defibrillator use has been shown to decrease mortality associated with OHCA. In 2014, New Jersey passed Janet’s Law to mandate automated external defibrillator access in all public and private schools. Our project surveyed NJ schools to evaluate the implementation of AEDs and to analyze their usage and outcomes. Hypothesis: Schools that were adherent to AED placement and training as outlined in Janet’s Law will likely have more positive outcomes from sudden cardiac arrests on school properties than schools that do not. Methods: An observational, cross sectional study was conducted via an online form (Redcap 12.4.2) sent to New Jersey public school nurses. Data was collected from February to June 2023 and analyzed using SAS version 9.4. Results: 301 (99.7%) responses reported having automated external defibrillators. 85.3% of schools provided AED staff training. 42 schools (14.4%) utilized an AED in a cardiac emergency, most often occurring to students in classrooms. An AED was administered by school employees 95.8% of the time. In 80.5% of cases, the patient was resuscitated on scene with no long term neurological complications. 87.2% of schools have an emergency response plan. Conclusions: Our data highlights the impact of proper AED utilization to positively influence out of hospital sudden cardiac arrest outcomes in pediatric populations. Despite Janet’s law being an unfunded mandate, we found near complete compliance among New Jersey schools. The majority of reported sudden cardiac arrests occurred in a classroom setting, necessitating available resources throughout school facilities. In these events, the percentage of positive patient outcomes in our study was significantly higher than the national average with excellent neurological recovery. This discovery may be a product of excellent response rates by trained staff as mandated in Janet’s law. Our findings highlight the need for awareness, training, and accessibility regarding AEDs.

Gatekeeping structures and trust development in public sector organizations

PurposeThis paper aims to examine the interaction between gatekeeping and trust in a public sector organization, where employees at lower hierarchical levels are expected to autonomously translate and transform directives into public services. This requires them to have access to operational steering information, i.e. information about directives and how to interpret and apply them. This study focuses on how gatekeeping structures regulate flows of operational steering information and how the gatekeeping structures affect the development of trust.Design/methodology/approachThe research design is qualitative. The data material consisted of semi-structured interviews with 26 employees in home care and schools and of eight complementary nonparticipant observations. Thematic analysis revealed the presence of static and dynamic gatekeeping structures, which are characterized by fixed and variable arrangements of information sources and channels, respectively.FindingsIn static gatekeeping structures, managers or domain experts typically act as gatekeepers, and employees also perform gatekeeping activities collectively. Gatekeeping structures allow employees to switch between acting as gatekeepers and being gated, depending on the situation. The results show that gatekeeping structures for intermediation of operational steering information may support or impede employees' work, thus affecting their trust in their peers and their work organization.Research limitations/implicationsAlthough the present study included both interviews and observations, these primarily occurred within scheduled and prearranged activities rather than capturing the nuances of the typical daily work of teachers and home care employees. As a result, certain perspectives may have been unintentionally omitted.Practical implicationsThe participants were recruited through the City of Oslo contact people, which may have impacted their status or perception in some way. Moreover, the study was conducted in the City of Oslo, a specific organization with its own unique set of values, norms and processes. The trust-based management in the City of Oslo is likely not representative of all public sector organizations.Originality/valueThis study contributes conceptually by introducing gatekeeping structures and operational steering information and empirically by providing evidence of their relationship to trust development in public service delivery. Thus, it contributes to the research fields of information management and public administration.

Addressing inequality: a school-based intervention to improve pupils’ well-being and social inclusion

Abstract Issue Educational achievement, health, and well-being among children varies greatly. Early interventions in primary education are among the most effective policy tools to reduce such gaps. A coherent and cross sectoral school approach, as well as a specialized school leadership, can promote social equality among pupils. Description of the problem A lower secondary school in Mid-Norway discovered problems related to social exclusion and well-being among the pupils. Between 2020 and 2023 the school engaged its employees, pupils, parents, and broader local community in a common dialogue and learning process about diversity and mental health. In order to understand whether and how this intervention impact on a) pupils’ well-being, sense of inclusion and social cohesion, and b) attitudes and behavior among pupils, parents, school employees and the community members, interviews with principal and pupils were conducted, as well as surveys among pupils, school employees, parents, and local community members. Results The pupils experienced that the school environment became more inclusive, positive, and supportive. They reported less bullying, bad language and social exclusion, and improved cohesion and wellbeing at school. The problems turned out to be embedded in both the school and broader local community context. A large share of the pupils, school employees, parents, and local community members reported that they had changed towards more inclusive attitudes and behavior, and that they had become more socially included in the local community. Lessons The intervention promoted a culture of inquiry within the school context, where active and critical engagement generated personal meaning and mutual understanding. The school became a ‘community active school', linking pupils, parents, school employees and the extended local community in meaningful dialogue and activities, promoting social inclusion and wellbeing in a powerful way. Key messages • A culture of inquiry in the school context can address and promote public health issues among pupils. • A ‘community active’ school can be a powerful means to promote social inclusion and well-being in school as well as within the broader local community context.

Americans with disabilities act cases initiated by individuals with cochlear implants in the United States

ObjectiveThe Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that forbids discrimination against individuals with certain disabilities, including hearing impairment. This study aimed to determine the nature of ADA discrimination complaints in individuals with cochlear implants. MethodsA search for court decisions containing the terms “cochlear implant” and (“Americans with Disabilities Act” or “ADA”) from 1985 to 2021 was performed with the Westlaw Campus Research legal database. Cases were included and analyzed if at least one of the plaintiffs had a cochlear implant and was claiming discrimination related to their hearing impairment based on the ADA. Results24 cases initiated between 2003 and 2021 in 19 US states were identified based on inclusion criteria. The highest number of cases occurred in California (N = 4, 16.7 %). The alleged discrimination most frequently took place at a K-12 school (N = 9, 37.5 %), workplace (N = 7, 29.2 %), or during an encounter with police/correctional officers (N = 4, 16.7 %). Fourteen (58.3 %) cases involved complaints under Title II (Public Services) of the ADA. Seven (29.2 %) involved Title I (Employment) and 4 (16.7 %) involved Title III (Public Accommodations). Summary judgment was given in favor of the defendant or the case was dismissed entirely in 16 (66.7 %) of the cases. ConclusionPatients with cochlear implants are still at risk of discrimination because of their disability. Cochlear implantees, school employees, workplace supervisors, and law enforcement personnel can benefit from ADA education.

Experiences with regular testing of students for SARS-CoV-2 in primary and secondary schools: results from a cross-sectional study in two Norwegian counties, autumn 2021

BackgroundTo allow for normal school attendance during the COVID-19 pandemic, regular testing of students was introduced in the autumn 2021 in Norway to manage COVID-19 transmission. We mapped the experiences of five stakeholders (parents, students, school staff and administration, contact tracing teams) regarding the implementation of regular testing in primary and secondary schools in Oslo and Viken counties, to assess the acceptability through different indicators and improve future guidelines.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted between October and November 2021 to explore experiences of implementation, compliance, satisfaction, difficulties, concerns, confidence in regular testing, quality of teaching and school attendance. Five stakeholder groups were invited to participate: contact tracing teams; school administrators and employees in primary, lower secondary, and upper-secondary school; students in upper-secondary school and parents of primary and lower secondary students. Bivariate analyses were performed for students, parents, and school employees groups. Descriptive analyses were done for contact tracing teams and school administrators.ResultsFour thousand five hundred sixty-five participants were included in our study. School attendance increased for most of the students in primary and lower secondary schools in Oslo and Viken after the implementation of regular testing. Students across all school levels reported high testing compliance and satisfaction with the implementation. Compliance was significantly associated with an increasing number of weekly tests across all school levels up to two weekly tests. Contact tracing teams were less satisfied with the cooperation with the educational authorities compared to the school employees. Higher educational level of parents was significantly associated with decreased concern of their children getting infected at school after regular testing implementation. Concerned parents were more likely to keep children at home from school, to protect all household members from becoming infected. Lack of time and communication were reported as challenging factors to implementation.ConclusionCompliance, satisfaction, and confidence in regular testing of COVID-19 were high among stakeholders. An acceptable testing regime for a future regular testing implementation would be a home-based, bi-weekly test. Increased awareness of the importance of school attendance, safety of regular testing along with good communication and role clarification should be prioritized for stakeholders involved in regular testing.

An agricultural community's perspectives on COVID-19 testing to support safe school reopening.

School-based COVID-19 testing may be an effective strategy for reducing transmission in schools and keeping schools open. The study objective was to examine community perspectives on school-based COVID-19 testing as a mitigation strategy to support safe school reopening. We conducted a qualitative study in Yakima County, an agricultural region of Washington state, where over half of residents are Hispanic/Latino. From June to July 2021, we interviewed 18 students (13 years old, on average) and 19 school employees, and conducted four focus groups (2 in Spanish, 2 in English) with 26 parents. We audio-recorded the semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions which were then transcribed. We used an inductive, constant comparison approach to code the transcripts and conducted a thematic analysis to generate themes. We identified four main themes. Students, parents, and school employees desired a return to in-person learning (Theme 1). Schools implemented numerous COVID-19 mitigation strategies (e.g., masking) to facilitate a safe return to school but felt that adding testing would not be feasible due to a lack of resources and overworked staff (Theme 2). Parents and school employees' familiarity with COVID-19 testing procedures influenced their support for testing (Theme 3). Parents and school employees felt there were inadequate resources for individuals who test positive for COVID-19 (Theme 4). Schools require adequate resources and medical personnel to implement COVID-19 testing. Individuals also need resources after testing positive, including physical space to isolate, financial resources for those without paid time off, and delivery of food and other necessities to households in rural communities.

Influence of Motivational factors on Productivity of Employees in secondary schools in Ogun State

Employee commitment and job satisfaction are traits of motivated workers. These traits translate into increased job productivity and, as a result, improved organisational performance. Employee motivation does not simply come from monetary incentives like salary, fringe benefits, bonuses, commission, etc. In light of this, a study was conducted in selected private secondary schools in the Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State, Nigeria, to examine the effects of identified motivational factors on employees' productivity. The purposive sampling was used in the study to select eight private secondary schools. The research design for this study was a descriptive survey design. Employees of all privately owned secondary schools in Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State make up the study's population. 25 of these employees served as the study's sample. The 125 questionnaires that were distributed were returned. For the analysis of the hypotheses. The descriptive statistics and Pearson Product Moment of Correlation (PPMC) were used. The findings showed that employee productivity in a limited group of private secondary schools was strongly positively correlated with both the work environment (r=0.965; p<0.05) and training (r=0.852; p<0.05). Thus, organisations should create an environment that is friendly for both teaching and non-teaching staff members in order to increase their job satisfaction.

The Influence of Servant Leadership and Organizational Commitment on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) of Employee of Minhajul Haq Islamic Boarding School Purwakarta

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is a work behavior that is highly expected to achieve goals in the organization. In its implementation in the workplace, organizational citizenship behavior can affect the atmosphere of a rigid organization or institution into a pleasant and comfortable atmosphere among fellow employees with a strong teamwork atmosphere. This study aims to determine the effect of servant leadership and organizational commitment on OCB. The research method used in this research is descriptive and verification with a quantitative approach. The subjects studied were employees of the Minhajul Haq Islamic Boarding School with a total sample of 78 people using a stratified random sampling technique. The results showed that partially servant leadership had no significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior. However, simultaneously servant leadership and organizational commitment have a significant influence on the organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) of Minhajul Haq Islamic boarding school employees. Organizational commitment has a more dominant influence which is the accumulation of the influencing variables (51.9%).
