Linking Transition Best Practices To Student Outcomes For Students With Mental Retardation, Deborah Joy Kennedy

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The purpose of this study was to focus on best practice components in transition programs for students with mental retardation. This was accomplished by determining: (a) post school outcomes; (b) the extent to which the transition plan reflected current best practices; (c) which predictor variables were the most important in predicting positive outcomes; and (d) the extent of student, parent, and agency involvement in the transition process; The participants in this study (n = 16) were parents of students with mental retardation who graduated, dropped out, or aged out in the 1999--2000 and 2000--2001 school years in a southwestern state. …

Alternative Route To Licensure In Special Education: A Program Evaluation, Karen Y Kennedy

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Special education teachers are needed nationally. For several reasons, there are not enough special education teachers to accommodate the growing number of students with special education needs. The Clark County School District (CCSD), in Las Vegas, Nevada, suffers from this teacher shortage; The need for special education teachers in CCSD has grown tremendously with the population growth in the past decade. The Alternative Route to Licensure (ARL) Program in Special Education was a response to this need. The ARL program provides CCSD with teachers to fill vacancies in the resource room setting that otherwise may be filled by long-term or …

Evolutionary And Biogeographic Histories In A North American Rodent Family (Heteromyidae), Lois Fay Alexander

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

The family Heteromyidae includes six genera of rodents traditionally placed in three subfamilies endemic to the Nearctic and northern Neotropical biogeographic regions. Although several of these taxa represent intensively studied members of North and Central American ecosystems (e.g., kangaroo rats, pocket mice), phylogenetic relationships within and among subfamilies, genera, and species-groups are poorly understood. Here, I used maximum likelihood (ML), Bayesian, and maximum parsimony (MP) analyses of sequence data from two mitochondrial DNA genes---COIII (699 bp) and cytochrome b (1140 bp)---to investigate phylogenetic relationships among 55 species-level taxa. I found robust support for monophyly of genera Dipodomys, Microdipodops, Chaetodipus, and …

Individual Professional Development Plans: In Search Of Learning For Teaching, C. Richele O'Connor, Janet Herrelko

Mid-Western Educational Researcher

This study is the continuation of a 1999 qualitative study in which the researchers examined the implementation of Local Professional Development Committees in the state of Ohio. This descriptive study examined the Individual Professional Development Plans (IPDP) of 133 teachers. Resultant data indicated that, from the wide array of possible selections for professional development (PD) including many that did not have any associated cost, thirteen different types of activities were chosen. The majority of teachers selected the traditional means of earning PD credit: university course work, inservice workshops, and conferences. The research revealed teacher confusion with this new form of …

Wealth Creation For Acquirers Of Listed And Unlisted Targets, Mara Faccio, John J. Mcconnell, David Stolin

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

We examine announcement period excess returns to acquirers of listed and unlisted targets in 17 Western European countries over the interval 1996 through 2001. Acquirers of listed targets earn an insignificant average excess return of –0.38%, while acquirers of unlisted targets earn a significant average excess return of +1.48%. This “listing effect” in acquirers’ returns persists through time and across countries and remains after controlling for method of payment for the target, the acquirer’s size and Tobin’s Q, the “liquidity” of the target, whether the acquisition created a blockholder in the acquirer’s ownership structure, whether the acquisition was a crossborder …

One Minute In The Life Of The Dm/Us$: Public News In An Electronic Market, John A. Carlson, Melody Lo

Purdue CIBER Working Papers

Public news can be expected to change market prices but, unlike “public information,” there are differing expectations about the full impact and hence trading is necessary for the market to process these divergent views. A good illustration of this is a surprise announcement of an increase in German interest rates coupled with remarkably detailed concurrent transactions data from an electronic market. After initial trades hollowed out the market, a large volume of seller-initiated trades removed most of the existing demand, without many of the prior bids being withdrawn. While this is contrary to a rational expectations view of public information, …

The Use And Productivity Of Verb Morphology In Specific Language Impairment: An Examination Of Swedish, Kristina Hansson, Laurence B. Leonard

Purdue Center for Early Learning Faculty and Staff Publications

In an earlier study, we found that Swedish-speaking children with specificlanguage impairment (SLI) differ from younger normally developing com-patriots on only a subset of verb morphemes characteristically problematicfor children with this type of disorder. In the present study, this finding wasreplicated, using a carefully devised set of tasks to elicit attempts at thetarget morphemes. The children with SLI used present copula forms andregular past-tense inflections with lower percentages than both younger andsame-age control children. However, the children with SLI were as proficientas the younger controls in the use of present-tense inflections and irregularpast forms. Given the pattern of the children’s …

Harper & Brothers’ Family And School District Libraries, 1830-1846., Robert S. Freeman

Libraries Faculty and Staff Scholarship and Research

In the 1830s, at the dawn of mass-market publishing, J. & J. Harper of New York began publishing several libraries, including Harper’s Family Library and Harper’s School District Library. A “library” in this sense is a series or set of uniformly bound and uniformly priced books issued by the same publisher. A leading publisher and a major force in the broad religious and social reform movements of the period, the Harper brothers helped to shape education in American homes and schools. As Methodists they were advocates of reading for moral improvement. As innovative publishers, they made full use of the …
