1. Connecting the Dots: Progress toward the Integration of School Reform, School-Linked Services, Parent Involvement and Community Schools.

Author

Miami Univ., Oxford, OH. School of Education., Lawson, Hal, and Briar-Lawson, Katharine

Abstract

This report describes the outcomes of research that investigated school reform, school-linked services, parent involvement, and community school programs in schools in 36 states. Results found that services were often added on to school sites without any intent to integrate them with school reform; teachers were not directly involved in services; co-locating service providers did not guarantee better quality of services; and technical assistance, capacity-building, and time for teachers were in short-supply. A model comprised of 10 strategies, "The Family-Supportive Community School," is presented to enhance learning experiences for all students, including students with disabilities. The strategies include: (1) parent empowerment and family support; (2) paraprofessional jobs and career ladders for parents; (3) school readiness, parent education, and family support; (4) caring classrooms that improve children's learning while enhancing teachers' and parents' efficacy; (5) improved classroom supports for teachers and children; (6) collaborative leadership; (7) educational communities; (8) neighborhood development and community organization; (9) simultaneous renewal of higher education; and (10) technology enhancement and use. Appendices include family support premises and principles of family-centered practice, and examples of knowledge needs and orientations of teachers, principals, service providers and parents in three kinds of schools.

3. Sex Differences in Adjustment to Widowhood.

Author

Miami Univ., Oxford, OH. and Kunkel, Suzanne

Abstract

Areas of morale, health, perceived income adequacy, stress, interaction with family and friends, and attitude toward life in retirement, were examined to determine the existence, degree, and direction of sex differences among widowed persons. Survey data from 161 widowed respondents from a study of 1100 adults aged 50 or older were analyzed. Married respondents (N=707) were also examined as a basis for comparison. Hypotheses tested were drawn from Berardo's thesis that greater adjustment difficulties occurred among male survivors. Nearly all hypotheses were rejected. The only significant differences between widows and widowers were in the areas of stress (with higher proportions of women reporting stress-related symptoms) and interaction (men had lower levels of frequency of interaction but higher satisfaction with the amount of contact).
