Kouzes and Posner Exemplary Leadership Overall, it is difficult to ignore the

combined views of 75,000 people.

CA 670, Aitken 9

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 10

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 11

Challenge the process  Leaders thrive on and learn from

adversity and difficult situations. They are early adopters of

innovation.

CA 670, Aitken 12

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 13

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.

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 15

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.

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.

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 18

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. 

 

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.

Mode Mode is the most frequently occurring

score in a set of scores.
