Discussions about how to motivate educators to change their practices often overlook opportunities provided by employment contracts, human relations policies, and job descriptions. These legal documents are designed to protect both employer and employee. But they can also be used to encourage certain professional behaviors. When constructed appropriately, they can become tools that help teachers understand job expectations and tools that help administrators focus teachers' and principals' work in a new direction. Teachers are increasingly being viewed as Contracts, Policies, and Job Descriptions Can Encourage a Different Kind of School Accountability Employment contracts, human relations policies, and job descriptions can be powerful tools for spelling out changes in expectations for teacher and principal work.
The comparison of quality between public and private college education is a topic of intense interest, and one that continues to generate ongoing research. This study utilized the General Social Survey 2012 Merged Data to determine if significant difference exists in graduates' longterm outcomes between public and private college bachelor's degree holders in the United States. A sample of 132 bachelor's degree holders of public and private institutions from 1980 to 2010 was selected from the cross-section cases interviewed in 2012 for the MANCOVA analyses using health situation as a covariate. Results indicated that bachelor's degree holders from private colleges are significantly more satisfied with their careers and overall quality of life than those from public colleges. However, no significant difference was found in financial satisfaction between these two groups, even when the effect of their health situation was controlled in analysis. Implications were discussed regarding weighing the cost and value when students make decisions to attend either public or private institutions.
