As a result, the author began experimenting with a leadership approach forclassroom management that applies leadership behaviors to manage student conduct andperformance.In the paper, the author will compare behaviors used in leadership with the managementof student classroom conduct and performance. The paper will identify the benefitsderived from the leadership approach to classroom management. The author will describethe leadership behaviors used in his course to manage student conduct and performance.Also, the paper will provide ideas for engineering and technology faculty on how theycan integrate the leadership approach with their courses.IntroductionThroughout the author’s academic career

We were also interestedin obtaining a broader understanding of how students felt about their experience with STEMhomework assignments at the university level. Getting a comprehensive understanding of students’perspectives about STEM homework could provide insight into how all members of the STEMcommunity could work to make the experience better, which could lead to deeper learning,stronger connections, and increased excitement in students about their STEM

Perhapsthe biggest difference has to do with the level of “faculty culture” regarding outcomesassessment. While the engineering faculty have reached a high and stable level of conductingdirect and indirect assessment as a response to ABET’s accreditation criteria, the physics facultylag significantly in this respect, perhaps because their programs are not held to a similar level ofscrutiny for accreditation. A strong culture of assessment is a very good prerequisite to havebefore initiating a program like the SFIP as it exposes the faculty to the shortcomings in their
