Abstract/Notes: Outdoor learning is one of the newest terminologies and implementations of using the outdoors as a part of education. This paper provides an in-depth overview to answer the question, is outdoor learning a pathway to transformational learning or another educational gimmick? To answer this question, this paper will focus on six fundamental sections. This paper begins by highlighting the ambiguity throughout history in defining education outside the classroom, with more than 75 different terminologies used to refer to education in the outdoors. The second theme is that despite this contemporary emergence, outdoor learning has a long and varied history within education, with modern elements of outdoor learning being traced back thousands of years in indigenous cultures. Then being refined throughout the 21st century before settling on the current contemporary form of outdoor learning. The third theme of this paper looks at the benefits of outdoor learning, summarized into six critical sections. These benefits include health and wellbeing, social-emotional and cognitive development, academic and behavioral benefits, memory benefits, increased positive attitudes towards the environment, and positive teacher benefits. The fourth theme of this paper reviews the barriers and challenges to implementing outdoor learning within schooling, with four primary barriers being identified. These barriers include outdoor learning having no formal status in teachers’ educational practice, a lack of teacher confidence in their outdoor teaching expertise, difficulty in starting an outdoor learning program, and physical restraints such as school grounds and weather. The penultimate theme of this paper reviews critical considerations that must be addressed when implementing an outdoor learning program; this includes cost, student numbers, transportation, insurance, time, framework, skills, assessments, the curriculum, and training. The final theme of this paper unpacks the effects of COVID-19 on outdoor learning within all levels of schooling. Initially seen as a method to return to school by being outdoors, outdoor learning has since demonstrated to educators worldwide that it deserves to be embedded as an everyday part of education even after the pandemic subsides.

Abstract/Notes: The present study is to find out influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children, and its purpose is to find out relations between the language control type of a mother and leadership of an children and to find out about how much the language control type affects leadership of an children. Hence, if the research results are summarized in the present research, it is as follows. First, as a result of investigating a relationship between the language control type of a mother and leadership according to a gender of children of 4 years old, it appeared that there is no statistically significant difference in all of the language control type of a mother. Also, the leadership according to a gender of children showed that a boy children is higher than a girl children in only pro-social leadership, and it appeared that a girl children is higher than a boy children in the proactivity, creativity, cognitive abilities and decision-making leadership and there was signigicant difference. Second, the results of analyzing the influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children according to a gender of an children are as follows. 1) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type of parents of all boy and girl children is higher, the pro-social leadership of children is raised. 2) It appeared that as the imperatives language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of a boy children gets lower. It appeared that as the status-oriented and person-oriented language control types are higher, the proactive leadership of a children gets higher. It appeared that as the status-oriented language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of a girl children gets lower. It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the proactive leadership of an children gets higher. 3) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type of parents of all boy and girl children is higher, the creative leadership of an children gets higher. 4) It appeared that as the imperatives language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of a boy children gets lower, and it appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of children gets higher. It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the leadership of cognitive abilities of a girl children gets higher. 5) It appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of boy infants gets higher, and it appeared that as the imperative and status-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of girl children gets lower. And it appeared that as the person-oriented language control type is higher, the decision-making leadership of children gets higher. Third, as a result of analyzing the influence that the language control type of a mother affects leadership of an children of 4 years old, it appeared that as the language control type of a mother gets more person-oriented, the leadership of an children is enhanced.

Abstract/Notes: Stress and burnout among teachers are serious problems because of the negative consequences associated with them that have contributed to the current crisis in the American education system. Until the problems of teacher stress and burnout are understood and addressed, efforts to restructure American education cannot succeed. This study assessed the relationships among perceived autonomy, perceived transformational leadership style and burnout in public elementary teachers, and the moderating/mediatinginfluence of teacher orientation (Montessori and traditional) on burnout levels. An integration of Maslach’s multi-dimensional burnout theory, self-determination theory, and the theory of transformational leadership formed the theoretical foundation of the study. A nonexperimental correlational design was used with survey methodology. A convenience sample of 82 public elementary teachers were recruited via educator social media sites and professional associations. Participants completed an online survey viaSurvey Monkey. Multiple regression analyses determined strong negative relationships among the predictor variables and the three dimensions of burnout as well as the significant predictive power of the independent variables. Moderation analyses determined a significant influence of teacher orientation across these relationships. The mediation analysis determined that teaching autonomy was a significant mediator between teacher orientation and emotional exhaustion burnout. The results from this study may be used for positive social change by developing strategies to mitigate burnout in public elementary teachers, increase engagement, improve teacher retention, ultimately improving student achievement and engagement.

Abstract/Notes: This action research project was conducted to see if participation in an online leadership cohort would affect the self-efficacy of school leaders. Using an online platform, seven Montessori heads of schools from the United States gathered to discuss topics of greatest importance to them. The schools represented were public, private, non-profit, proprietary and charter. The heads of schools ranged in experience from 3 to 33 years. They met once a week, for four weeks, for an hour each session to discuss four topics most relevant to the group, as determined by their suggestions. Data was collected using pre and post intervention self-assessments and surveys, as well as field notes, observation records, and tally sheets taken during the four leadership cohort sessions. The researcher facilitated the group and guided the conversations with prompts and continued questions. The heads of school asked questions of each other, offered answers, and shared resources. The intervention was shown to increase the self-efficacy of some participants, decrease the self-efficacy of some participants, and not affect the self-efficacy of others. However, the participants all reported feelings of gratitude for the opportunity to come together, citing community and collaboration as the most positive rewards.
