Kouzes and Posner Exemplary Leadership • Overall, it is difficult to ignore the combined views of 75,000 people. CA 670, Aitken
Model the way • Going first, living the behaviors you want others to adopt. This is leading from the front. • People will believe not what they hear leaders say but what they see leader consistently do. CA 670, Aitken
Inspire a shared vision • People are motivated most not by fear or reward, but by ideas that capture their imagination. • Note that this is not so much about having a vision, but communicating it so effectively that others take it as their own. CA 670, Aitken
Challenge the process • Leaders thrive on and learn from adversity and difficult situations. • They are early adopters of innovation. CA 670, Aitken
Enable others to act • Encouragement and exhortation is not enough. • People must feel able to act and then must have the ability to put their ideas into action. CA 670, Aitken
Encourage the heart • People act best of all when they are passionate about what they are doing. • Leaders unleash the enthusiasm of their followers this with stories and passions of their own. CA 670, Aitken
Basic concepts of statistical analysis and measurement for course survival. • No, there is no relevance to this picture except my concession that statistics and measurement may be hazardous to your sense of humor. CA 670, Aitken
Examples of Measurement Error • Using instruments in the assessment process solely because those instruments are stipulated by the organization or an administrator(s). • Regularly using instruments for purposes other than those for which test have been validated. • Using the quickest instruments available even though those instruments may not assess the areas of concern. CA 670, Aitken
More errors • Using currently popular instruments for assessment. • Failing to establish effective rapport with the examinee. • Failing to adhere to standardized administration rules. • Making various scoring errors. CA 670, Aitken
What are numerical scales? • Nominal scale consists of numbers used only for identification purposes (numbers that cannot be used in mathematical operations such as your student ID). • Ordinal scale uses rank (does not have the quality of equidistant units). • Interval scale are equidistant units (numbers that cannot be used in mathematical operations). • Ratio scale does have an absolute zero and can be used in mathematical operations. CA 670, Aitken
What are descriptive statistics? • Descriptive statistics are used to organize and describe data. • Measures of central tendency are statistical methods for observing how data cluster around the mean. CA 670, Aitken
Mean • The mean is the average, which can be affected by an extreme score, especially if the group is composed of only a few people. CA 670, Aitken
Mode • Mode is the most frequently occurring score in a set of scores. CA 670, Aitken
