Perceptions of Trust and Teacher Collaboration during the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated teacher collaboration in unprecedented ways, ensuring students continued to learn amid unforeseen obstacles. In this study, I explored how trust relationships were perceived within Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and with building administrators during the COVID-19 pandemic using a theoretical framework built on social constructivism and Tschannen-Moran’s five facets of trust. This study addressed the following research question: What perceptions of trust within PLCs were reported by teachers and building administrators during the COVID-19 pandemic in a small, suburban K-2 school in the state of Wisconsin? I conducted a qualitative case study of five kindergarten through second-grade teachers on collaborative grade level teams, as well as their two building administrators. Key findings from the study indicated that (a) definitions of trust varied by positionality; (b) the shifting work and purpose of PLCs positively affected trust; (c) perceptions around equity of the workload was dependent on technology skill sets that decreased trust and seeking help when needed that increased trust; and (d) conflict and venting were outcomes of unmet appreciation, decreasing trust. Recommendations for stakeholders included the following: (a) building capacity for trust based on essential elements of benevolence, honesty, openness, reliability and competence; (b) reorienting the work and purpose of PLCs post-pandemic; (c) providing train- ing around conflict resolution to thwart unproductive venting; (d) establishing a culture where asking for help is seen as an asset; and (e) being specific when communicating appreciation. At the time of this study, schools remained in the COVID-19 pandemic; it was my aim that educators might benefit from this study in present and future crises.

Enter Helen : the invention of Helen Gurley Brown and the rise of the modern single woman
\"This female Mad Men-like story chronicles the legendary Cosmopolitan magazine editor's rise to power as both a cultural icon and trailblazer who redefined what it means to be an American woman.In the mid-Sixties, Helen Gurley Brown, author of the groundbreaking Sex and the Single Girl, took over the ailing Cosmopolitan magazine and revamped it into one of the most successful brands in the world. At a time when magazines taught housewives how to make the perfect casserole, Helen reimagined Cosmo and womanhood itself, championing the independent, ambitious, man-loving single woman. Though she was married, to Hollywood producer David Brown, no one embodied the idea of the Cosmo Girl more than the Ozarks-born Helen, who willed, worked, and--yes--occasionally slept her way to the top, eventually becoming one of the most influential media players in the world.Drawing on new interviews with Helen's friends and former colleagues as well as her personal letters, Enter Helen brings New York City vibrantly to life during the Sexual Revolution and the Women's Movement and features a cast of characters including Hugh Hefner, Nora Ephron, and Gloria Steinem. It is the cinematic story of an icon who bucked convention, defined her own destiny, and became a controversial model for modern feminism, laying the groundwork for television shows like Sex and the City and Girls.\"Bad Feminist\" or not, Helen Gurley Brown got people talking--about sex, work, reproductive choices, and having it all--forever changing the conversation\"-- Provided by publisher.
