Audit of Principal Effectiveness: A User's Technical Manual. Designed and Tested for Principal Assessment in Elementary, Middle and Secondary Schools (Revised)
(1986)
This technical manual is presented to assist those using the Audit of Principal Effectiveness, an 80-statement evaluation instrument designed to determine teachers' perceptions of principals' effectiveness, allow principals ...
Audit of Principal Effectiveness: Instrumentation for Principalship Research-A Research Project Report
(1988-01)
Using the literature and research on principal effectiveness as a foundation, the Audit of Principal Effectiveness was developed. Initially, 162 items forming 12 theoretical factors describing effective principal behavior ...
Performance-Based Principal Evaluation in Missouri: A Three-Year Report
(1988)
The performance-based principal evaluation (PBPE), passed as a section of the 1985 Missouri Educational Reform Act, is a process for professional development of principals through the identification and documentation of ...
Principal Effectiveness in "National Recognition" Schools -- A Research Project Summary Report
(1989-07)
Between 1982 and 1987, 1,500 outstanding schools were recognized by the School Recognition Program, based on an analysis of their leadership, order and discipline, community support, and high standards and expectations for ...
Audit of Principal Effectiveness: A Process for Self-Improvement
(1989)
Feedback data provide an avenue to improved perceptions; in the educational setting, improved perceptions translate into personal growth and more positive organizational culture. To provide a valid, reliable, and practical ...
Performance/Outcome Based Principal Evaluation: A Summary of Procedural Considerations
(1986-10)
Performance evaluation is designed to assist principals in better accomplishing their leadership role. Performance/Outcome Based Principal Evaluation (PBPE) is defined as "a process for the professional development of ...
Performance-Based Teacher Evaluation in Missouri: A Three-Year Report
(1988)
The teacher performance evaluation, mandated in Missouri by a bill that legislators enacted during 1983, is a process for professional development through the identification and documentation of job related expectations ...
School Improvement Surveys
(1986)
This is a collection of four school improvement surveys developed by the Middle Level Leadership Center. The Audit of Principal Effectiveness (APE) provides information about the effectiveness of principals in dealing with ...
Urea supplements for beef cattle (1983)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1983)
Urea supplies part of the protein equivalent in many of the commercial supplements formulated for beef cattle today. When soybean meal and other plant proteins are high in price, more urea is used to replace plant protein ...
Utilizing performance records in commercial beef herds (1989)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1989)
Herd profitability is based on costs and total herd production. Evaluation of herd production, in a simplified and straightforward way, can be extremely enlightening and result in obvious management deficiencies that can ...
Analyzing cropping systems (1983)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1983)
In tight financial times, businesses often try to reduce spending and improve their profits. Many farmers are currently operating their businesses under such conditions. Wise management decisions can improve profits in ...
Multilayer structure of nitrogen adsorbed on graphite
(American Physical Society, 1989)
Elastic neutron diffraction has been used to study the structure and layering of nitrogen films adsorbed on the (002) surfaces of an exfoliated graphite substrate. The neutron-diffraction pattern of the fully compressed ...
Detection of the gravitomagnetic field using an orbiting superconducting gravity gradiometer. Theoretical principles
(American Physical Society, 1989)
The angular momentum of the Earth produces gravitomagnetic components of the Riemann curvature tensor, which are of the order of 10-10 of the Newtonian tidal terms arising from the mass of the Earth. These components could ...
Descartes on Theological Knowledge
(International Phenomenological Society, 1982)
Arnauld charged Descartes with circularity in his theological proof. I argue that Arnauld was correct. I also make suggestions about why Descartes fails to see the circularity. Both points are important. Many are uncomfortable ...
A system for pond water purification (1980)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1980)
The purpose of this guide is to give information on collecting, storing and treating water from ponds for domestic use. Treated surface water may be the best solution for many Missourians.
High-pressure studies of GaAs-AlxGa1-xAs quantum wells at 300 and 80 K using photoreflectance spectroscopy
(American Physical Society, 1988)
A detailed photoreflectance study of a GaAs-Al0.3Ga0.7As multiple quantum well of well width 260 Å is carried out at 300 and 80 K. The pressure dependence of a large number of quantized states is observed. The sublinearity ...
Large round balers (1987)
(University of Missouri--Columbia. Extension Division, 1987)
The continuing search for a labor-saving method of hay harvest led to the development of the large round baler. At this time there are 15 manufacturers selling over 40 balers that produce large round bales of 400 to 2,300 ...
Pressure studies of impurity levels in AlxGa1-xAs
(Institute of Physics, 1989)
The authors present a study of the deep and shallow donor levels under hydrostatic pressure. The shallow levels follow the conduction bands, while the deep levels are strongly sublinear with pressure. The temperature ...
Effects of hydrostatic pressure on the low-temperature photoluminescence spectrum of heavily doped CdS
(American Physical Society, 1985)
The photoluminescence spectrum of heavily doped CdS is studied under pressure at 300 and 6 K in a diamond anvil cell. The pressure-induced shift of the broad green luminescence peak at 300 K is found to depend on the ...
High-pressure studies of GaAs-Ga1-xAlxAs quantum wells of widths 26 to 150 Å
(American Physical Society, 1986)
Photoluminescence spectra of GaAs quantum wells of widths 26 to 150 Å are studied as a function of hydrostatic pressure (0-70 kbar) at 80 and 150 K. The pressure coefficients of both the heavy- and light-hole excitons are ...
