New Jersey Superintendents’ Perceptions Of The Psel Standards And Their Application To The Summative Evaluation Process Of School Principals, Kevin Hajduk
Seton Hall University Dissertations and Theses (ETDs)
It is difficult to imagine a focus for research with greater social justification than research about successful educational leadership. Therefore, the purpose of this study is twofold. First, this study explores the “elements” of the Professional Standards of Educational Leaders (PSEL) from the perspective of New Jersey school superintendents to determine what they consider to be most important when formally evaluating New Jersey public school principals. Second, this study will also distinguish what are the essential, compared to important, leadership skills and responsibilities that a building principal must demonstrate as defined by the PSEL standards and determined by Chief School …
No License, No Problem – Is Qualcomm’S Ninth Circuit Antitrust Victory A Patent Exhaustion Defeat?, Jorge L. Contreras, Jorge L. Contreras
No License, No Problem – Is Qualcomm’S Ninth Circuit Antitrust Victory A Patent Exhaustion Defeat?, Jorge L. Contreras, Jorge L. Contreras
Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
The Ninth Circuit’s recent decision in FTC v. Qualcomm (9th Cir., Aug. 11, 2020) is generally viewed as a resounding victory for Qualcomm. But in praising Qualcomm’s egalitarian approach toward rival chip makers, the Ninth Circuit points out that instead of granting licenses to these rivals, Qualcomm merely “declines to enforce its patents” against them “even though they practice Qualcomm’s patents”. As such, the Ninth Circuit states that Qualcomm’s “policy toward rival chipmakers could be characterized as ‘no license, no problem’”. Yet, from the standpoint of patent exhaustion, this approach could actually be a very big problem, not only for …
A Historical Note On The Assignment Of Pesticide Common Names, Jorge L. Contreras
A Historical Note On The Assignment Of Pesticide Common Names, Jorge L. Contreras
Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
Thousands of pesticides, herbicides, and related chemical products are used today to control disease-bearing insect populations and enable large-scale agricultural production that feeds much of the world. This short note traces the history of one small but important aspect of this industry—the assignment of common names to pesticides and related products. The little-known history of pesticide common names is illustrative of a few important points. First, it demonstrates the trend exhibited in many fields for the development of standards to migrate from a governmental agency to a US-based standards organization to an international standards organization. Second, it evidences the concern …

Formative Assessment: What We Don't Learn From "Just Answers", Shelby K. Cole
Colorado Mathematics Teacher
High stakes summative assessments include questions that are proxies of expectations outlined in standards as evidence of students’ proficiency in mathematics. While these proxies can provide valuable snapshots of student learning, this does not always neatly translate to classrooms in support of formative assessment.
President's Message, Joanie Funderburk
President's Message, Joanie Funderburk

Assessment refers to more than just high-stakes tests. Teachers assess students every time they ask a question, have students share work on the board, review a homework assignment, or solicit student questions during a lesson.

Proceedings Of The Sixth National Developmental Conference On Individual Events, Karen Morris
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
The June 19-20 National Developmental Conference (NDC) on Individual Events (IE) was a series of free zoom webinars sponsored in a joint effort by AFA-NST, NFA, PKD, and PRP. The overall goal of the conference was to work together to set shared standards for the upcoming 2020-2021 season because of the uncertain times for intercollegiate forensics. The conference provided a collaborative space for the forensic community to discuss best and promising practices.
Prior to the conference, the NDC-IE planning committee sponsored a COVID-19 Coaches Webinar on May 1st, 2020. The recordings of the sessions by AFA-NST, NFA, PKD, and PRP …

Blockchain technology has great benefits such as decentralization, transparency, immutability and automation. Like any other emerging technology, the blockchain technology has also several risks and threats associated with its expected benefits which in turns could have a negative …
Possible Reliance: Protecting Legally Innocent Johnson Claimants, Keagan Potts
Possible Reliance: Protecting Legally Innocent Johnson Claimants, Keagan Potts
Michigan Law Review
The writ of habeas corpus presents the last chance for innocent defendants to obtain relief from invalid convictions and sentences. The writ constitutes a limited exception to the finality of judgments. Given the role finality plays in conserving judicial resources and deterring criminal conduct, exceptions created by habeas must be principally circumscribed. Since the Supreme Court’s invalidation of the Armed Career Criminal Act’s residual clause in Johnson v. United States, the federal courts of appeals have attempted to develop a test that protects the writ from abuse by Johnson claimants.
This Note first contributes a new understanding of the …
Looking In From The Fringe: A Need For Commonality And Accountability In Professional Ethical Standards In Forensics, Sujanet Mason
Looking In From The Fringe: A Need For Commonality And Accountability In Professional Ethical Standards In Forensics, Sujanet Mason
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
Our conceptions of honesty, decency, and integrity determine who and what we are. We should ask exactly what is our concept of "right" and "wrong." As we can seldom circumvent the level of our skills, talents, or conscience, our decisions and conduct are the product of moral reference. It is suggested that education and training are the means to earn what is wanted from life, therefore, the educated man, at least ideally, doesn't have the temptation to cheat or steal. Further, it has been said, "One need not be as worried about the multiplication of sinners as with the disappearance …

A Proposal For The Creation Of Uniform Judging Philosopy Statements In Individual Events Competitions: An Attempt To Empower Competitors, Coaches/Critics And The Forensics Activity, Rob Tucker
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
The judging of individual events has long been fraught with difficulty, with critics invoking their own idiosyncratic preferences and biases, instead of some form of consistent judging standard. Students have forfeited the advantage of having detailed information about a given judge's philosophy or criticism criteria. In 1984, forensics theorists produced a set of standards by which speeches could be constructed and subsequently evaluated. There exists little or no evidence that coaches/critics have actually adopted these standards, and so, as before, students are left without a guide. This paper examines the history of theory development concerning judging criteria and advances a …
The Individual Event Ballot: Pedagogical Tool Or Narcissistic Soapbox?, Kevin Jones
The Individual Event Ballot: Pedagogical Tool Or Narcissistic Soapbox?, Kevin Jones
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
Before developing some standards for evaluating/judging individual events, it is necessary to understand what exactly a ballot should do, and to look at some of the problems surrounding present standards and why new standards are in order. This paper will focus upon the pedagogical aspect of judging by first, examining the educational aspect of forensics; second, exploring the "useless ballot" issue and attempting to identify some causes of the problem; and finally, presenting some possible solutions and guidelines which might aid in correcting this concern. Hopefully, discussion will be generated from this paper and panel which will result in promoting …
Inter-Judge Agreement: An Analysis Of The 1990 Nfa And Afa-Niet National Individual Events Tournaments, Jon C. Bruschke, K. Jeanine Congalton, Robert H. Gass
Inter-Judge Agreement: An Analysis Of The 1990 Nfa And Afa-Niet National Individual Events Tournaments, Jon C. Bruschke, K. Jeanine Congalton, Robert H. Gass
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
Given the increasing concern about the judge's role in individual events tournaments, and given the paucity of literature specifically pertaining to inter-judge agreement, we sought to analyze the degree of inter-judge agreement at two national level tournaments which employ multiple judge panels in preliminary rounds. The results of the 1990 National Forensics Association Tournament and the 1990 American Forensic Association - National Individual Events Tournament serve as a basis for the analysis.
Developing Functional Standards As A Means To Greater Accessibility In Nfa-Ld, John M. Devine
Developing Functional Standards As A Means To Greater Accessibility In Nfa-Ld, John M. Devine
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
A consistent theme of debate league innovation and alternatives has been the attempt at an increased focus on "substantive" argument along with increased accessibility to the activity. The National Forensic Association's Lincoln-Douglas Debate (NFA-LD) is one of the more recent responses to the desire for an event which promotes topic specific argumentation, at a reasonable rate of delivery, which is accessible to students with no formal debate experience. NFA-LD's approach provides a reference point for examining the interaction of the league and event structure in the context of the desire for less speed, more substance, and, more accessibility.
The argument …
A "Pedagogy Of Freedom" For Forensics: Moving From Convention To Theory, Terry L. West
A "Pedagogy Of Freedom" For Forensics: Moving From Convention To Theory, Terry L. West
Proceedings of the National Developmental Conference on Individual Events
Even a brief survey of academic journals and communication convention programs will reveal that ethics is a major concern among forensics professionals. The 2008 National Developmental Conference in Individual Events is no exception. A panel has been convened to present papers, discuss implications, and suggest policy action regarding ethical procedures in competitive intercollegiate forensics. While much past discussion and action has occurred on the subject of rules violations—ethical issues which enjoy essentially consensual agreement in the discipline—there is also a substantial concern over normative standards. These normative standards, which I refer to as "conventions," largely govern what actually occurs during …

Demand Response Of Hvacs In Large Residential Communities Based On Experimental Developments, Huangjie Gong, Evan S. Jones, Rosemary E. Alden, Andrew G. Frye, Donald G. Colliver, Dan M. Ionel
Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky Faculty Publications
Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems contribute the largest electricity usage for a residential community. Modeling of the HVAC systems facilitate the study of demand response (DR) at both the residential and the power system level. In this paper, the equivalent thermal model of a reference house was proposed. Parameters for the reference house were determined based on the systematic study of experimental data obtained from fully instrumented field demonstrators. The aggregated HVAC load was modeled based on the reference house while considering a realistic distribution of HVAC parameters derived from data that was provided by one of the largest …

The Maine Press Association Takes A Stand: Promoting Professional Identity In The Nineteenth Century, Stephen Banning
Maine History
This research sought to examine the Maine Press Association in relation to its motivations, particularly in reference to whether the association members saw themselves as professionals. The only other nineteenth century press association which has been examined for evidence of professional aspirations is the Missouri Press Association, in which it has been found that members were actively seeking to professionalize, modeling themselves after the traditional professions of doctors, lawyers and the clergy. References to journalists as professionals are present at an early point in the Maine Press Association’s history, and the number of references increase within a few years after …

Intellectual Property Pools And Aggregation, Jorge L. Contreras
Intellectual Property Pools And Aggregation, Jorge L. Contreras
Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
This chapter in the forthcoming case book "Intellectual Property Licensing and Transactions: Theory and Practice" covers IP pooling, with an emphasis on patents. It begins with a discussion of the theoretical benefit of pooling, including efficiency gains and the avoidance of blocking positions, thickets and anti-commons. It then addresses antitrust analysis of pooling transactions from Standard Oil (Indiana) v. United States (U.S. 1931) through the 2017 DOJ-FTC Antitrust Guidelines. The chapter then turns to pools created to facilitate standard-setting, including the MPEG-2 and 3GPP Pools, and discusses the concept of complementarity and essentiality of pooled assets. It concludes with brief …
Sometimes Frand Does Mean License-To-All, Jorge L. Contreras
Sometimes Frand Does Mean License-To-All, Jorge L. Contreras
Utah Law Faculty Scholarship
FRAND commitments are creations of written policy documents and contract law. Accordingly, the existence of a “License to All” obligation under a FRAND commitment must arise from the relevant policy language. Numerous SDO policies expressly impose “License to All” requirements. Some SDO policies are ambiguous with respect to this requirement and such ambiguities should be resolved based on an examination of extrinsic evidence including the intentions of policy drafters, the shared understandings of SDO participants, and the historical precedents for such policies. In many cases, an examination of these factors should lead to the conclusion that “License to All” is, …

Records Of Engagement And Decision-Making: A Prototype And Guide For Digitally Recording Pm Experiences, Pete Dupen
Records Of Engagement And Decision-Making: A Prototype And Guide For Digitally Recording Pm Experiences, Pete Dupen
International Congress on Environmental Modelling and Software
Participatory Modelling (PM) engages a suite of conceptual and numerical modelling tools and techniques that assist stakeholders to understand a complex issue or system. Although the value of PM has been amply demonstrated in many policy settings and management contexts over more than 30 years, it is not yet widely known or used in stakeholder engagement processes such as citizens juries or planning proposal consultations. The lack of consistent, standardised reporting of PM processes and their outcomes is greatly restricting the dissemination of lessons learnt from past engagement efforts. Having a systematic way to document these lessons could help participatory …

Quality Assurance Of Higher Education Governance And Management: An Exploration Of The Minimum Imperative For The Envisioned African Common Higher Education Space, Lazarus Nabaho, Wilberforce Turyasingura, Alfred Kenneth Kiiza, Felix Andama, Adrian Beinebyabo
Higher Learning Research Communications
In 2018, as part of the African higher education harmonisation drive, the African Union Commission (AUC) issued the African Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in Higher Education (ASG-QA). Within the ASG-QA, the AUC commits to promoting good governance and management in higher education institutions and provides governance and management as the second standard. However, there is a dearth of knowledge about the governance and management architecture for higher education institutions in the African higher education landscape that is either implicit or explicit in the ASG-QA. Against the above backdrop—using the ASG-QA as a source of data and content analysis …
A Methodology For Implementing The Standardized Statistical Measures And Metrics For Public Services In Archival Repositories And Special Collections Libraries, Melanie Griffin
Journal of Contemporary Archival Studies
The Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) and the Society for American Archivists (SAA) joint standard, Standardized Statistical Measures and Metrics for Public Services in Archival Repositories and Special Collections Libraries, provides a shared vocabulary and set of statistical measures that help archival and special collections repositories articulate their value as they share concrete evidence demonstrating the impact of their services. The standard is specifically designed to be system agnostic so that all repositories can use it. Many of the standard’s recommended measures, particularly those related to users and circulation, …
