  • The most recent distance technology, the Internet, adds an interactive component not possible with the other technologies - collaborative communication over a prolonged period of time. Traditionally, distance education has been primarily between the instructor and the student, and there has been little or no opportunity for interaction among students.
  • Students are able to read and respond to all correspondence, thereby learning from each other as much as from the instructor.
  • Another clear advantage of asynchronous communication is that it allows students more time to think about questions posed, thus promotes higher quality responses.

    "The efficacy construct refers to peoples' beliefs about and confidence in their abilities to attain success in their actions. The purpose of this research is to advance the study of school administrators' efficacy through a unique model and measure designed to target the confidence of school administrators in performing a variety of leadership/management tasks. An instrument was created to measure school administrators' efficacy levels, based on the Educational Leadership Constituent Council (ELCC) Standards. A sample of 367 early career principals and principal trainees was surveyed. Through factor analysis, eight dimensions of school administrator efficacy were derived. Based on Cronbach's Alpha, the instrument has high reliability; thus, this instrument can serve as a consistent tool in evaluating school administrators' efficacy levels."

  • No Child Left Behind is largely based on the belief that setting high standards and establishing measurable goals can improve individual outcomes in education. The act requires states to develop assessment tests in basic skills to be given to all students in certain grades if those states are to receive federal funding for schools. The act does not set a national achievement standard but rather leaves standards to each state.
