Impact Of The Social Construction Of Ld On Culturally Diverse Families: A Response To Reid And Valle, Maya Kalyanpur Phd, Elizabeth Harry Phd

School of Leadership and Education Sciences: Faculty Scholarship

This response focuses on the effects of the current construction of learning disabilities (LD) on families of children from devalued racial/ethnic groups. Agreeing with the arguments of Reid and Valle, we add that parents from such groups are further disenfranchised because they are not participants in the critical discourse surrounding LD and because of the persistent belief that their parenting skills are deficient. We also suggest that the expectation of parental advocacy may be alien to parents whose cultures do not embrace an individualist perspective. Professionals can improve their responses to such parents by an understanding of the principle of …

A Further Modified Ten-Square, Jeff Grant

Word Ways

The original ASTRALISED ten-square in the November 1990 Word Ways, and the modified DISTALISED square in February 2002. Inspired by Rex Gooch's recent groundbreaking discoveries, I have no further modified this square. The latest effort is an interesting mix of old and new. There are only two proper names, a place and a person, both American. Everything else is uncapitalized and, with one exception, solid-form. Every item in the square comes from America or Britain, and they can all be found either on the Internet (using the Google search program), or in major English-language references.

Are All Words Interesting

Word Ways

In the February '77 Word Ways (77-8), Dmitri Borgmann proposed as the keystone of logology that all words are logologically interesting, illustrating with twenty random words. Pamela Brang provided seventeen more examples by the same method (77-163). But thirty-seven out of some half a million words is not proof.

Fungal Community Diversity And Composition On Logs In Relation To Log Size And Penetrability, November 2004, Janaki Patel

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

Very little is known about how macrofungal communities on logs vary depending on different log characteristics. This study tested whether macrofungal communities on logs in premontane wet secondary forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica, vary significantly with changes in log size and penetrability. Additionally, this study determined the regional species diversity and turnover of macrofungal communities on logs, and determined whether there were trends between groups of macrofungal species growing on logs of different degrees of penetrability. One hundred logs with macrofungi were sampled randomly and measured for size and penetrability. The fungi on each were recorded according to morphospecies. A …

Comparison Of Protist Communities In Native And Exotic Bromeliad Species, November 2004, Michelle L. Rhoney

Monteverde Institute: Tropical Ecology and Conservation

In this experiment, I compared protist community and composition found in the tanks, or phytotelmata, of a native bromeliad species, Vriesea werckleana, and an unidentified exotic species. This study was conducted in Monteverde, Costa Rica, near the Estación Biológica Monteverde, between October 22 and November 11, 2004. Samples were taken from 20 individuals of each native and exotic species. The protist species composition and abundance were determined for each individual bromeliad. Local, regional, and metacommunity composition were evaluated and compared. Local (alpha) richness was the average of the protist communities, whereas regional (gamma) richness (or metacommunity) was the sum of …

Content Validity Of The Interstate School Leaders Licensure Consortium's (Isllc) Standards For School Leaders: To What Extent Do Isllc Skill Indicators Describe School Leaders' Instructional Leadership Work?, Jane Clark Lindle, Nancy Stalion, Lu Young

Publications

Most validity studies of ISLLC standards and indicators rely heavily on focus groups and perceptual surveys. This study included self-report and observational data on principals’ use of time. A content analysis tested ISLLC’s descriptions of instructional leadership with a related set of Kentucky’s Standards and Indicators for School Improvement (SISI) as well as across the observational job analyses of two sets of principals: (a) five elementary and secondary principals in a typical rural district and (b) five matched for school characteristics from high performing schools on Kentucky’s assessment system. Results reinforce early studies revealing the intense and fragmented nature of …

Getting Reparations For Slavery Right - Response To Posner And Vermeule, Roy L. Brooks

Notre Dame Law Review

Ambiguity aversion is a person's rational attitude towards the indeterminacy of the probability that attaches to his future prospects, both favorable and unfavorable. An ambiguity-averse person increases the probability of the unfavorable prospect, which is what criminal defendants typically do when they face a jury trial. The prosecution is not ambiguity averse. Being a repeat player interested in the overall rate of convictions, it can depend upon any probability, however indeterminate it may be. The criminal process therefore is systematically affected by asymmetric ambiguity aversion, which the prosecution can exploit by forcing defendants into harsh plea bargains. Professors Segal and …

University Students From Four Ethnopolitical Conflict Zones: An Exploratory Study Of Perceptions Of Self And Country, Sean Byrne, Colleen Mcleod, Brian Polkinghorn

Peace and Conflict Studies

This exploratory comparative case study examines hopes and fears for self and country of 300 students attending university in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Northern Ireland, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. Students report living in stressful societies where ethno political and state violence were the norm. The results of this qualitative study indicate that while the young people are optimistic about their life changes, they are concerned that the conflicts could re-ignite and spiral out of control. In particular, the students’ images indicate the importance of the self-society relationship and that these young adults relish the challenge of being productive citizens in their post-conflict …
