How we measure 'reads'
A 'read' is counted each time someone views a publication summary (such as the title, abstract, and list of authors), clicks on a figure, or views or downloads the full-text. Learn more

Completed manuscript accepted for 2019 publication, math instrument study with federal accountability test scores
A 10 question algebra mathematics instrument (multiple choice) using ‘metric sense’ to measure/inventory subject specific domain knowledge base items (cognitive ability in algebra/math expressions). Derived from a theoretical manuscript. Math underpinnings: A vector space with the usual metric (distance) explored in secondary mathematics education....
This theoretical manuscript reports on (a) a definition of ‘metric sense’ [9], (b) specific roles of mini-experts in Second Generation Instructional Design (ID2) [11], and, (c) creates a mathematics instrument using ‘metric sense’ to inventory

Mathematics learning outcomes have specific cognitive development implications [2], [9]. Empirical studies in mathematics learning have contributed greatly in our understanding of mathematical spaces, structures, and learning. Key contributions in ‘structure sense’ studies build upon a theoretical manuscript detailing a conceptualization of ‘thinki...

Lear, Jeffrey. (2017). An Examination of How and Why Teachers Participate in Instructional Leadership. (Dissertation) East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania, PA, USA. Available ProQuest #13423605 Summary Findings
This configurative systematic literature review synthesizes manuscripts on (a) mathematics/physics cognitive development, (b) subject specific autonomy supportive behavior, and (c) physics learning gender gap reduction.
Physics and mathematics learning outcomes have specific cognitive development implications. Some empirical studies in the learning of physics have focused on gender gap reduction using interactive engagement (IE) learning environments. Interactive engagement classrooms differentiate by dialectic approach and autonomy supportive behavior; seeking to...
Factors contributing to school improvement continue to garnish international interest. The problem is school leadership teams possess little information on 'distributed leadership systems' which engage teachers in sustainable school reform. This manuscript continues a line of literature initiated to develop an instrument for measuring instructional...
In the United States, there is a continued interest in factors that contribute to school improvement. The problem is that teachers and administrators within our schools possess little information on 'distributed leadership systems' which engage teachers in leadership activities toward sustainable school reform. Instructional Leadership studies usin...
The purpose of this study is to examine specific mathematical instructional practices that can be aligned with one of the CCSS Standards for Mathematical Practice, in particular “look for and make use of structure” (2010 Common Core State Standards Initiative, 2010). The structure inherently identified with Euclidian Geometry and high school algebr...

The topic of this thesis is Barrelled spaces, a locally convex topological vector space. The uniform boundedness principle is one of the most important theorems in functional analysis. This thesis will provide a review in the theory of topological vector spaces, present the uniform bo...

The purpose of this investigation is to develop an instrument that captures the perceptions of instructional teacher leadership behaviors in schools in which there is no formal distributed leadership initiative driving school reform. This research will inform on standardized teacher leadership activities consistent with a shared responsibility of instructional leadership. Regional instrument use may measure teacher leadership activity toward sustaining school improvement.
