Item Concussion education practices among high school coaches in Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2021) Hughes, Patrick Michael; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Tricia SeifertConcussions in high school sports present a legitimate threat to athletes across the United States. In the absence of qualified healthcare providers, coaches are most often the individuals who are tasked with making sideline analyses of removing the injured athlete from participation. To help ensure the most optimal outcomes for these athletes, it is important to accurately determine the most effective ways of training coaches. This study analyzed high school coaches in the state of Montana to determine their familiarity with different types of concussion education programs. In addition, particular focus was placed on determining if coaches' familiarity of concussion education programs differed significantly between coaches in urban versus rural school settings and between coaches of different sports.Item Principal leadership, collective teacher efficacy, and high reliability organization principles : creating high-performing high schools(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Education, Health & Human Development, 2016) Filpula, Linda Ruth; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Tena VerslandThe purpose of this multiple embedded case study is to understand how principal leadership develops and maintains collective teacher efficacy (CTE) in rural high schools, and how CTE and high reliability organization (HRO) principles contribute to the development of a high-performing rural high school. Four Montana high schools were selected for this study based upon students above average composite ACT scores and graduation rates for two consecutive years. The third criterion was that each school's principal had to have been in that leadership position longer than four years. Each school completed Goddard and Hoy's Collective Efficacy Scale (2003) to ascertain the level of the teaching staff's collective efficacy and provide descriptive data. The principal and a teacher focus group from each school were then interviewed separately. From the data analysis, three themes emerged across all four schools. First, principals had developed 'situational awareness' to effectively manage their schools. Second, principals had well established and effective formal and informal channels of communication. Third, principals had a continuous school improvement process in place to make improvements. Principals have a key role to play in the development of CTE as well as the implementation of HRO principles in their schools to create a high-performing school. The results of this study can provide new insights on how principals develop collective teacher efficacy (CTE) and utilize the five high reliability organization principals to create a high-performing high school in rural Montana.Item A survey of head coaches in major sports of selected high schools in the state of Montana(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1969) Gerke, Harold D.Item The medical resources available during selected varsity athletic events in Montana's Class AA and A schools(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1969) Deglow, Hubert A.Item Feasibility of eight-membered athletic conferences for the state of Montana /(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1958) Curry, Graydon LeslieItem Pilot high schools in Alaska(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1957) Gilbertson, HenryItem Participation of Montana high school principals in community organizations(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1965) Friedt, HenryItem A study of New Salem High School drop-outs for the years 1952-1962(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1962) Engelhardt, Anton A.Item An evaluation of Montana high school physical education programs by Northern Montana College freshmen(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1958) Edwards, Donald W.Item High school detention and discipline problems(Montana State University - Bozeman, 1979) Comstock, James Rodgers
