quantitative data about educational professionals’ solutions, with the survey also
originally created. Results from various elementary school professionals provide
interesting insights regarding parental attitude of education, teaching issues, and child

guidelines to be implemented. (Human Behavior in the Social Environment, 2014).
“Organizational Development Structure: Improvements for Service Agencies Aiding
Women of Abuse”. Systems-based structures provide enhanced care for women of

models of the agencies, results indicate that systems-based structures are the most
beneficial design to enhance service to women as they require simultaneous, complex,
and multifaceted care. Inter-agency structure provides women with comprehensive,
collaborative, and effective care. (Human Behavior in the Social Environment, 2013).
