¶ … learning environment requires a consistent and fair approrach to those learning. However, the exact relationship between learning and classroom leadership has not yet been defined. However, Drs. Brown (university of Saskatchewan) and Posner (Santa Clara University) investigate how the templates of learning and leadership interact and are related. Using a quantitative approach with learning tactics inventory and leadership practices inventory, they note that with a sample of 312 individuals the more active and versailte learners and both engaged in robust leadership behaviors and respond to leadership techniques. When one looks at the changes in contemporary culture (e.g. adult learning, life-long learning, change of career, educational budgets), this becomes even more imporant.
Ironically, in a speech John F. Kennedy was prepared to give on that fatefully Dallas day in 1963, he noted, "leadership and learning are indispensable to each other." As the goals of education are more...
276-7). In addition, within any organization, motiviations are critical for the health of the organization and the ability for those involved to actualize (e.g. students).
For students to be successful, the very focus of their environment must be pro-learning. Teachers cannot "learn" for the student, but as leaders they must provide the Vygotskian (constructivist) approach to a learning environment. We know that management (in this case classroom management) and leadership are not the same. Management is tactical, leadership strategic. A true educational leader looks to the future and adapts the learning goal and target to the need of the student, creating a synronicity that benefits both parties.
Authors of this study use their expertise in education and business to provide a thorough, well-documented study showing the critical interrelationship…

To some, learning is a cognitive function -- a physical and biological function of dealing successfully with environmental stimuli. Piaget, for one, believed that it was organization and adaption that separated the human individual from other animals because humans could remember and learn - and hypothesize the future. Organization as Piaget saw it said that humans are designed to organize their observations and experiences into coherent sets of meanings. Adaptation is the tendency to adjust to the environment - a process by which we create matches between our original observations and new ones that might not seem logical at first, but provide new solutions to unique problems.
But there are other ways of looking at the broad picture of education outside the cognitive norm. Once we have a basic understanding of how learning occurs, we must then turn to the subject of why learning occurs. Richard Rodriguez, in The Achievement of Desire, takes the view that more formalized education (e.g. outside Vygotsky's environmental zone into a more artificial sense of cognition). For Rodriguez, "A primary reason for my success in the classroom was that I couldn't forget that schooling was changing me and separating me from the life I enjoyed before becoming a student" Therein lies the conundrum for Rodriguez; on one hand, it is absolutely necessary for an individual to move forward with their life and education, and particularly so, he says, for minority
Although the teacher is the authority figure and the rules are clearly established, the students are allowed to voice their opinions. This setting creates the best learning environment because the children know their boundaries but are able to participate in the decision-making process. In addition, the teacher can improve instruction by generating feedback about lesson delivery and instructional techniques from his or her students. Question 3: Assessment Standardized testing is a
For countries such as the U.S. And France, these needs can be reasonably expected to relate to the respective national cultures involved. For instance, in their book, Education in France, Corbett and Moon (1996) report, "An education system needs to justify itself constantly by reference to the values which underpin a nation's culture. In a democracy it is expected to transmit a range of intellectual, aesthetic and moral values
Women in Film Noir Teaching is in many ways a solitary profession: A teacher in his or her own classroom spends hours in contact with students but often relatively little time talking to other teachers and educators. Administrators are also in many ways isolated from the teachers. Perhaps because of this fact, the administrators interviewed for this project emphasized the personal importance of collaboration with other members of the professional and
1. Name and describe impact(s) you have had on students' learning or growth as a result of coursework.Currently, the education industry is going through a very contentious and polarizing period. In many instances, the United States is behind many other developed countries as it relates to the quality of its education, particularly k-12. This has sparked a very vicious debate as pundits are looking to engage in an advanced overhaul
Business Leadership Learning & Development The reorganization of a business can take many forms. One of the most crucial areas for reorganization when expanding a business, buying a new business, or even restructuring because of bankruptcy, is to focus the new management team and to incorporate viable solutions for leadership learning & development protection. This report aims to draw up a management development program, devise a program that ensures that the learning
Adults With Learning Disabilities It has been estimated (Adult with Learning Disabilities) 1 that 50-80% of the students in Adult Basic Education and literacy programs are affected by learning disabilities (LD). Unfortunately, there has been little research on adults who have learning disabilities, leaving literacy practitioners with limited information on the unique manifestations of learning disabilities in adults. One of the major goals of the (Adult with Learning Disabilities) 1 National Adult Literacy
