Franklin Delano Roosevelt’S Historical Representation Within Children’S And Young Adult Literature, John Bickford, Megan Lindsay

Faculty Research and Creative Activity

Purpose – Education initiatives require substantive changes for history, social studies, English, andlanguage arts teachers of any grade level. History and social studies teachers are to integrate multiple textsfrom diverse perspectives, which increases teachers’ uses of trade books and primary sources; English andlanguage arts teachers are to spend half their allotted time on non-fiction topics, which enhances the positionof historical content. The compulsory changes are not accompanied with ready-made curricula. Trade booksare a logical starting point for teachers inexperienced with the new expectations, yet, research indicates thathistorical inaccuracies and misrepresentations frequently emerge. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach – …

The FLSA provides certain protections for individuals who are classified as employees. Employees are considered “non-exempt,” i.e., eligible for all of those protections (minimum wage and overtime) unless they fall within specific exemptions. The burden of proof is on the employer to establish that employees fall within an exemption.

Colleges and universities often struggle with unique challenges in determining whether certain jobs are exempt. The exemptions below only focus on the requirements under the FLSA. There are often different and more restrictive requirements under state law that must be considered as well.
