The effectiveness of 360-degree feedback in public schools

Three hundred and sixty-degree feedback is a compelling process for personal and professional development that draws upon the knowledge of people within a person\u27s circle of influence, including supervisors, peers, direct reports, and oneself. Traditionally, 360-degree feedback surveys were developed as an administrative tool to aid an organization\u27s executive leaders and managers in making decisions regarding employee promotions, salary raises, and other personnel incentives. Today, 360-degree feedback programs are used primarily as a leadership development strategy to help people and organizations meet their goals. However, the use of 360-degree feedback is not widely used in the education sector due to the need for schools to prioritize traditional federal, state, and local district evaluations. The G360 Surveys™ strategically designed their survey tools to be efficient and intuitive in use, while inducing meaningful self-awareness and behavior change that align with skills needed for 21st century workplace success in any industry in any setting. This study was structured to investigate the impact of 360-degree programs in public schools using the G360 Emerging Leader Survey as the instrument for research. This study was completed using a quantitative and qualitative research approach with 14 public school educators across the country. One hundred percent of raters found the G360 surveys to provide meaningful feedback for their development and believed that effective use of the instrument would have a positive impact on a school\u27s culture and goals. All participants also said that they would recommend the program to a school or school district for use

The Democratic Viability of Islamic Opposition in Egypt: A Theoretical and Comparative Perspective

In response to the increasingly authoritarian government of Hosni Muburak, Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood has emerged as the only meaningful opposition party—even though the Brotherhood has been illegal for the last 50 years. Despite its often violent and murky past, in the last 25 years the Brotherhood has preached a platform based on moderate and peaceful Islamic activism as well as the compatibility of democracy and Islam. However, there are still elements of the Muslim Brotherhood that suggest certain democratic values would be abandoned should the Brotherhood achieve power, as well as critics who contend that the recent changes in the Brotherhood are a ploy to achieve political power. A comparison to Bharatiya Janata Party, an Indian Hindu-nationalist party, as well as a vein of democratic theory known as moderation theory, are both useful tools to address these concerns. Both analytical tools suggest that the Muslim Brotherhood would likely positively contribute to a democratic system of governance in Egypt should it be legalized and the appropriate political reforms take place

The Stanley Kubrick Archive: A Dossier of New Research

An introduction to a co-edited Dossier of new research from The Stanley Kubrick Archive at University of Arts, Londo

In a nanoscience lab

The production, observation and manipulation of very small objects is a tour de force, but these objects, which could infiltrate anywhere without being seen, may arouse suspicion. To assess the situation at best, we describe the activity of a nanoscience research institution, some of the methods used there, the spirit of its researchers and their attitude towards risk.Comment: article accept\'e pour publication dans les C.R.
