Supporting the Literacy Development of Low-Income Children in Afterschool Programs: Challenges and Exemplary Practices
By Robert Halpern
Erikson Institute for Graduate Study in Child Development

While much of the current concern over the literacy development of low- and moderateincome children focuses on schools (and, to a lesser degree, on parents), many observers are arguing for a role for other institutions. In particular, funders are turning to afterschool programs to address this critical developmental task. This paper explores the roles afterschool programs can and do play in the literacy development of low-income children, drawing on surveys and observations of afterschool programs …

Influences On Achievement In Literacy And Numeracy, Sheldon Rothman, Julie Mcmillan

LSAY Research Reports

This report examines the influence of a range of factors on the literacy and numeracy achievement levels of Year 9 students in Australia. The data were obtained from students in the first wave of LSAY and were analysed using hierarchical linear modelling to account for the sample design of LSAY. Modelling procedures followed a theoretical construct, incorporating variables believed to be important influences on achievement in literacy and numeracy. In addition, variables were selected to ensure consistency between cohorts and between literacy and numeracy. Included in the analyses were variables relating to students (gender, Indigenous background, language background, home location), …

Stock Market Liberalization And The Information Environment, Kee-Hong Bae, Warren Bailey, Connie X. Mao

CRIF Seminar series

We study the associations between openness to foreign equity investors and the information environment facing emerging market firms. Changes in openness are reflected in legal, regulatory, and cross-listing events, the fraction of stock available to foreign investors, and the size of U.S. portfolio capital flows. The information environment is reflected in firm-specific return volatility and in indicators of information production, uncertainty, and disagreement related to earnings announcements. We find that information measures typically increase with openness to foreign equity investment, particularly in the form of security cross-listings and aggregate portfolio flows.

Foreword: The Role Of Contract In The Modern Employment Relationship, Rachel Arnow-Richman

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

To be sure, many questions about the relationship between contract and employment remain unanswered. The complexity of employment issues-the inherent tension between public regulation and private ordering, between legal agreements and moral obligations, between business interests and human need-will doubtlessly continue to challenge courts and legal scholars. The voices collected here offer a first step toward a richer understanding of the contractual dimension of employment and employment's influence on contracts in addressing some of the most pressing issues of the contemporary labor economy.

Opposing Excessive Use Of Employer Bargaining Power In Mandatory Arbitration Agreements Through Collective Employee Actions, Michael Z. Green

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

In this Article, I focus on how employees can respond and address excessive bargaining power issues when employers require individual employees to agree to arbitrate employment disputes as a condition of employment. My thesis is that individual employees can and should seek self-help through collective action to level the playing field for bargaining about arbitration. Furthermore, I contend that the best collective action would be for unions to play a major role in how individual employee disputes, including the various statutory and tortbased exceptions to the employment-at-will doctrine, are negotiated and resolved in arbitration. Section II of this Article reviews …

Attention All Students: Please Deposit Your Constitutional Rights At The Door, Emily Crockett

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

This Note argues that the Court should return to the fact-specific balancing test utilized in Vernonia and close the door to the further expansion of suspicionless drug testing in public schools. Part II of this Note will discuss the steady erosion of Fourth Amendment protections in the school context, as well as the expansion of drug testing outside the school setting. Part III will discuss the factual and procedural background of Pottawatomie and will focus on the Supreme Court's analysis and the dissent's application of the Vernonia standard to Pottawatomie's facts. Part IV will explore the problems and ramifications of …

Deacylated Pulmonary Surfactant Protein Sp-C Transforms From Α-Helical To Amyloid Fibril Structure Via A Ph-Dependent Mechanism: An Infrared Structural Investigation, Richard A. Dluhy, Saratchandra Shanmukh, J. Brian Leapard, Peter Krüger, John A. Baatz

MUSC Faculty Journal Articles

Bovine pulmonary surfactant protein C (SP-C) is a hydrophobic, alpha-helical membrane-associated lipoprotein in which cysteines C4 and C5 are acylated with palmitoyl chains. Recently, it has been found that the alpha-helix form of SP-C is metastable, and under certain circumstances may transform from an alpha-helix to a beta-strand conformation that resembles amyloid fibrils. This transformation is accelerated when the protein is in its deacylated form (dSP-C). We have used infrared spectroscopy to study the structure of dSP-C in solution and at membrane interfaces. Our results show that dSP-C transforms from an alpha-helical to a beta-type amyloid fibril structure via a …

Unilateral Contracts Of Employment: Does Contract Law Conflict With Public Policy?, W. David Slawson

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

Section II will state cases from each of these groups to show the reasons the courts gave for reaching their decisions and some of the decisions' consequences. Section III will explain how existing contract law should apply both to the initial creation of employment rights and to their subsequent amendment. An explanation of the rights' initial creation is included because in my opinion, it was their misunderstanding of this that misled so many of the courts into allowing the employer to reduce or eliminate the rights unilaterally. Section IV will show that the new contract law the courts in the …

Home Equity Lending In Texas: Are Loan Origination Fees Interest?, Paul Hendry Ii

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

The constitutional amendment did not define what constituted a fee for purposes of a home equity loan, and this ambiguity has created much concern among lenders. This Comment argues that a loan origination fee charged by a lender in a home equity transaction should be considered interest and not a fee for purposes of the three percent fee limitation. Part II of this Comment will discuss homestead protection in Texas and the 1997 constitutional amendment authorizing home equity lending. Specifically, Part II will discuss the three percent fee limitation, the forfeiture and cure provisions contained in the constitutional amendment, and …

Materiality Guidance In The Context Of Insider Trading: A Call To Action, Joan Macleod Heminway

Scholarly Works

This article reflects upon certain negative effects associated with the ambiguity of the current legal standard for materiality in the insider trading context and suggests and demonstrates an approach to mitigating these negative effects. Specifically, after describing and illustrating the concept of materiality and its application in the insider trading context, this article identifies and assesses applicable regulatory policies, showing that these policies do not dictate an imprecise definition of materiality. Next, the article explains certain negative impacts on stockholder value emanating from the lack of predictability and certainty in interpreting and applying the existing materiality standard, including negative impacts …
