...student in the secondary RE education indicated that the number of girls enrolled rose to almost 50% around 1959 from the 17% before then. This paper draws both theoretical and empirical literature in an attempt to unmask how family and consumer science education has addressed healthy relationship among youths in middle and high schools. Further emphasis is on the literature gaps that exist regarding this topic. Addressing concerns and problems using RE Kerpelman et al. (151-171), asserts that family and consumer sciences education is an important field that focuses on families, work, and their interrelationships with the aim of improving lives. At high school and middle levels, family and consumer sciences education play a vital rolse in the lives of the youths. For instance, the youths are empowered to have abilities in identifying and creating alternative solutions to common everyday challenges. Under this case, the author further indicates that family consumer education enables the youths to manage the resources at their disposal thereby being able to cope with challenging situations. Additionally, family and consumer science education at middle and high school levels is vital because of its broad range of contribution in the lives of youths. In coping with the everyday challenge, the youths are imparted with intellectual and moral concepts that enable them to understand and solve most of the challenging situations. In relating these two concepts, it can be concluded that...

...Introduction: Community based out of school time (OST) programs play an important role in the development of youth and the success of our communities. Though academics are a pivotal part of success, it is also the leadership and social interactions that can help provide real-world experiences (Nicholson, Collins & Holmer, 2004). This process of understanding the transformations that occur within some organizations is one of critical thinking and discovery. In addition, it provides a deeper perspective of how organizational stakeholders serve as change agents and improve the leadership abilities within the community. The organizational change that was examined over the course of this study was one connected to the request by York County SC community members. They wanted assistance in eradicating the high dropout rate. After reports from the SC Department of Education that the dropout rate in York SC was increasing, United Way of York County began to take a harder look at the educational needs of the local residents. This final paper will examine the dynamics of change to include the content, process and context of that change as well as the community reaction toward that change. Finally, I will share some of the conclusions and recommendations of how this change affects the structural configuration of programs and organizations. Significance of the Problem The United Way of York County, which was established in 2005, was previously viewed as a funding agency that provided...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Background of the study The middle school years are a critical turning point in young peoples’ lives. At ages 11-14 years, children go through the early adolescence stage. Adolescence is an important period when a child adjusts physically, learns new cognitive abilities, forms positive social relationships, develops a positive sense of self, and forges a personal code of ethics and morality (Eccles, Midgley,1989;Jackson & Davis,2000). Schools, along with peers and families, play an important role in fostering young peoples’ healthy development through the adolescent years (Meece, 2003). Thus, ignoring the developmental needs of students in school might result in the students developing a wrong notion of school until adulthood. Students’ eagerness and motivation to go to high school may decline as they go through their first year in high school if they may still lack the interaction they need to become familiar with and to be exposed to the high school’s norms and environment (Eccles & Midgley, 1989) (Barone, Aguirre-Deandreis, & Trickett, 1991). First year students tend to become lost in the “new world” they are in (Mizelle, 1995; Phelan, Yu, & Davidson, 1994) as they are expected to be more independent in high school, with less spoon-feeding of information and more application of good study habits. The new first year students are expected to be more mature as they deal with new classroom subjects, adopt a better value system, and be...

...scientists just because you do the right thing. As a youth, I learned both good and bad examples of academic success from my parents. The first thing I learned was that mom was a high school graduate but my dad had to drop out of school in the ninth grade. Discovering the educational levels of my parents was important to me because I felt their success in life would be the same as mine, all I had to do was get through school, graduating or not and I’d have money, cars, a house and a family. During my earlier years of learning (elementary school), my parents did not review my school work for accuracy, nor were they members of the Parent Teacher Association (PTA). My parents had hectic schedules; my dad would leave for work early in the morning and return late in the evening, while my mom would leave for work in the afternoon and return late at night. I didn’t have anyone to check to see if my homework was finished or help me with school work; my parents relied on the school system in order to make that happen. As my educational requirements began to get harder (middle school), my grades started to falter, all I could think about was having fun with my friends. My parents would always tell me that I could only blame myself if my grades did not improve but I felt that otherwise. Upon entering high school, I only cared about sports, girls and showing off around my friends, my...

.... Bullying is a major problem in schools today. Many states have made laws designed to protect students from being bullied and enabling them to punish students who are guilty of bullying their peers. Different schools have implemented different anti-bullying programs in order to stop bullying within their schools. There is a great deal of debate as to which of these programs are effective and which are ineffective and how to truly measure effectiveness. The Steps to Respect Bully Intervention program and the Safe School Ambassador Program are among the many programs that schools currently use to address the bullying epidemic. Steps to Respect Bully Intervention Program is a school-based bully prevention program developed for grades 3-6. The goal of the program is to decrease school bullying problems by increasing staff awareness and responsiveness, fostering socially responsible beliefs, and teaching social-emotional skills to counter bullying and promote healthy relationships. The program aims to promote skills associated with general social competence. The program consists of 3 main components. The first component is a school-wide program guide which provides an overview of the curriculum content, the goals of the program, the research foundations behind the program, and a blueprint for developing school-wide policy and procedure. The second component of the program is staff training which focuses on effective discipline policies, improved monitoring of students...

...SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS AS OPPOSED TO PUBLIC SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS KOBINA AMISSAH-AYIKU RHODA ANSU YEBOAH PROJECT SUPERVISOR DR. AMANKWAH INTRODUCTION “Reading habits” refers to the behaviour which expresses the liking for reading of individual types and tastes of reading (Sangkaeo 1999). More or less, it refers to the different tastes that individuals have in terms of reading. Book reading is an essential part of any developing nation. Iheanacho (2007) opined that a healthy reading culture has a pivotal role to play in the social, economic and technological development of any country. All the developed nations that exist in our world today are where they are because they managed to obtain a high level of reading and so therefore have expanded their understanding of life. To Holte (1998), the importance of reading is essential to full participation in modern society because it adds value to life and provides access to culture and cultural heritage. We can therefore see the importance of reading in our everyday lives. PROBLEM STATEMENT In the study, we intend to find out if our Senior High School students have been able to adopt good reading habits which might be beneficial to themselves and the nation as a whole. We raise the issue of book reading habits because we feel that our fellow Ghanaians do not actively engage themselves in reading which will be able to develop them really well. This statement is based on our experience in the Senior High School system coupled...

...will identify what is a leader. There are many definitions of leadership. “Leadership is the art of leading others to deliberately create a result that wouldn’t have happened otherwise (McKinney June2013) As I research and studying jobs and roles, I would choose a Principal as the job I would most like to have. There are several characteristics that would make a great principal. First a principal would take responsibility for their school’s success. The success rate of the school is lead upon how much the principal pushes and lead his teachers. Next a great principals leads teaching and learning in their school. Before a principal can assume the position they first must follow a prerequisite of a teacher. A principal has an idea of what and how to teach, because a principal has taught in a classroom they are able to have compassion for teachers. Lastly, great principals build a strong school community. Principals build strong communities and also have a high parental involvement in their school (Botha) The qualification that I have that would be grateful in achieving the role of a principal would be I am very ambitious, hard worker, I work well with others and I am a good listener. Being ambitious gives me the drive to pursue the best. I would try hard and study harder to obtain excellence of a principal. Secondly, hard worker and working well with others includes staying late or arriving early to work just to assist a coworker to complete a task. Lastly, to be a good leader...
