1. Professional Learning Communities in an Elementary School Setting: A Qualitative Case Study of Characteristics and Effects

Author

Laura Gore

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify characteristics of effective professional learning communities while learning their impacts on staff members. The study also discovered the role of educational leaders during an effective implementation of professional learning communities. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with staff members of an elementary school. The results of the qualitative research aimed to determine the experiences of teachers while discovering specific ways educational leaders can further support implementations. Hipp and Huffman (2010) identified a conceptual framework for the dimensions of PLCs. This framework identified the dimensions as (1) shared and supportive leadership, (2) shared values and vision, (3) supportive conditions, (4) shared personal practice, and (5) collective learning application. The qualitative data retrieved from the interviews correlated with the work of Hipp and Huffman in specific relation to the five dimensions of PLCs. It is evident that these characteristics are necessary to establish effective PLCs. The findings of the research provided insight into the needs of an effective PLC while expanding how current experiences affected teachers. Data from interviews revealed that participants identified collaboration, purpose, structure, and willingness to learn as characteristics of effective PLCs. Participants also acknowledge improved instruction, relationships, and negativity as ways PLCS affected teachers. This study's findings identified specific areas that need further research and the need to create a comprehensive survey tool to assess all members of the organization. Training and development opportunities would be beneficial in moving beyond compliance and establishing PLCs that influence student success, teacher efficacy, and climate.

Abstract

Pete Anderson, Patricia Wells, Theresa Lazarte, Laura Gore, Laura Salvador, Maritza Salazar-AbshireMD Anderson Cancer Center, Pediatrics, Houston TX, USAAbstract: Current osteosarcoma chemotherapy is “standard” (doxorubicin, cisplatin, high-dose methotrexate ± ifosfamide-mesna, and etoposide ± mifamurtide), but current regimens have many short-term, medium-term, and long-term side effects. Generally 12–15 cycles of chemotherapy are given in the hospital over 7–10 months. Even in the absence of new research protocols, improvement in quality of life is now possible, with all osteosarcoma chemotherapy agents now being able to be administered in the outpatient setting. Outpatient chemotherapy is not only less expensive, but in the adolescent and young adult population can result in better quality of life for some. In this paper, we share information to help reduce the frequency of hospitalization and review some tools and strategies to facilitate communication when providing outpatient chemotherapy, family-centered care, and information/education. These include antiemetics with both longer-acting 5HT antagonists and aprepitant, outpatient chemotherapy guidelines, and a 5-week editable calendar that is part of our electronic medical record. Sharing information on absolute lymphocyte count recovery is another means of maintaining hope and increasing understanding of the prognosis of osteosarcoma. Finally, this paper shares an advanced directive/palliative care “checklist” of issues for patients and caregivers to consider at end of life, ie, when “cure of cancer is not the answer”. In summary, better communication at all stages of osteosarcoma care can help reduce hospitalization, improve quality of life, and maintain hope in the adolescent and young adult population with osteosarcoma.Keywords: family-centered care, adolescent and young adult, flash drives, chemotherapy calendars, outpatient, osteosarcoma, chemotherapy

Abstract

This is part 2 of 6 of the dossier What do we talk about when we talk about queer death?, edited by M. Petricola. The contributions collected in this article sit at the crossroads between thanatology, gender studies, and LGBT+ studies and tackle questions such as: how can queer death studies problematise heteronormative/cisnormative constructions of dying, death, and mourning? How can queer death studies approach the post-mortem manipulation of transgender identities? How can this discipline change the current cultural perception of the link between queerness and suicide? The present article includes the following contributions: – Alasuutari, V., Queering the heteronormative and cisnormative lifeworld of death; – Whitestone S., Queering as identity preservation: transgender identity after death; – Goret Hansen L., When i talk about queer death, I talk about trans-necropolitics and suicide prevention; – Jaworski K., Notes towards rethinking the agency of queer youth suicide; – Doletskaya O., Queer death and victimhood in Russia: ‘westernised queer activism’; – Zubillaga-Pow J., Lesbian Liebestod: sapphic suicide in chinese society.
