    Motivation and reading in children and adolescents: An annotated bibliography
    (School of Education, UWI, St. Augustine, 2006) Fullerton-Rawlins, Janet
    This bibliography attempts to provide an overview of the literature available in the area of motivation and reading, and is not intended to be comprehensive. It focuses on reading as a lifelong habit and not as literacy development. The bibliography is intended as a basic research tool for researchers on the topic of reading and motivation in children and adolescents. The introduction provides a review of the literature on the topic and is followed by the bibliography itself, which is organized by some of the factors that affect motivation in reading--parental role, strategies, the library's role, and the role of technology. The final section identifies some websites that should be useful for Internet research on the topic. The strong North American perspective reflected in the bibliography underscores the paucity of Caribbean research on the topic

    The principal as instructional leader; An annotated bibliography
    (School of Education, UWI, St. Augustine, 2003) Fullerton-Rawlins, Janet
    This bibliography brings together a selection of works on the principal as instructional leader. It does not attempt to be comprehensive in coverage, but attempts to provide a basic research tool for researchers on this subject. The bibliography is divided into three sections. The first section deals with the literature of the Caribbean. Because of the paucity of literature on the region, it was decided to include most of the relevant literature for which annotations could be provided, regardless of the date of publication. Although the second section is international in scope, the majority of the entries relate to the United States (USA). This section is very selective and only includes literature from 1990, with emphasis on the more recent literature. It is organized by the following areas in which the principal exhibits his influence as an instructional leader: 1) general leadership, 2) staff development, 3) student achievement, and 4) community involvement. The final section identifies some websites that should be useful for Internet research on this topic
