The Economic Challenges For The New Chinese Leadership, Yue Ma, Ping Wang

"The Impact of China's Accession to the WTO" 中國入世後的初步分析

This paper will first review the early concerns about China's entry to the WTO. Then we will evaluate the preliminary impact of the WTO membership on the Chinese economy, which turned out to be better than expected. We also discuss the current international debate on the Chinese currency renminbi revaluation and suggest that a gradual improvement of the current Chinese rigid exchange rate system will be inevitable.

Finally we will explore the potential problems and challenges to both economies of mainland China and Hong Kong in the future. We argue that …

Chinese Environmental Attitudes And Climate Change : Survey Findings On Precursors Of China's Domestic And International Policies On Global Warming, Paul G. Harris

CAPS Working Paper Series

Attitudes toward the environment in China are ambiguous at best and anti-environment at worst. These attitudes are indicators of how the Chinese view the natural environment and how they are likely to behave toward it and respond to efforts to protect it—whether they will practice "green" development and preservation of nature, or instead contribute to practices that are turning China's air, land and water brown (or even black) with pollution. These attitudes are also important precursors to individual Chinese behaviours and the policies and actions of the Chinese government to combat global warming and climate change. As such, attitudes toward …

A Monopole Solution From Noncommutative Multi-Instantons, Diego H Correa, Peter Forgács, Enrique F Moreno, Fidel A Schaposnik, Guillermo A Silva

Faculty & Staff Scholarship

We extend the relation between instanton and monopole solutions of the selfduality equations in SU(2) gauge theory to noncommutative space-times. Using this approach and starting from a noncommutative multi-instanton solution we construct a U(2) monopole configuration which lives in 3 dimensional ordinary space. This configuration resembles the Wu-Yang monopole and satisfies the selfduality (Bogomol'nyi) equations for a U(2) Yang-Mills-Higgs system.

Reluctant Participants In Restorative Justice? Youthful Offenders And Their Parents, David R. Karp Phd, Gordon Bazemore

School of Leadership and Education Sciences: Faculty Scholarship

This paper examines offender and parental involvement in the Vermont Juvenile Restorative Panels Program. In this program, juvenile offenders on probation appear before citizen-run boards to negotiate the terms of their probation, which may include apologies, community service, restitution, and competency development tasks. Victims and parents of the offender also participate. This study reports findings from a qualitative analysis of 22 cases, including observations of panel meetings and interviews with program coordinators, offenders, parents, and victims. We find that offenders vary in the level of participation as well as in their willingness to take responsibility. Parents do not understand the …

The "C" Word: Collegiality Real Or Imaginary, And Should It Matter In A Tenure Process, Leonard Pertnoy

Faculty Articles

For over two thousand years, since the times of Jesus Christ, society has valued collegiality as one of its pillars in advancing human relationship: "Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same and in the same judgment." Collegiality is "cooperative interaction among colleagues. Put another way, collegiality results when two or more individuals who are willing to engage in a common enterprise (the "cooperative" component), actually engage or participate …

Cancer in Louisiana

At a time when many Louisianans have been touched by the effect of cancer either personally or among family or friends, medical science has continued to wage war against this important public health problem. High quality cancer registries are essential to those efforts.

With the participation of researchers, physicians, hospitals and cancer patients, these data, taken collectively, provide information contributing to the knowledge and understanding of cancer and its causes and treatments.

Validation Of A Formative Student Teaching Performance Assessment: Meeting State Standards, Kirk E. Mathias, James L. Depaepe

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

Recent efforts undertaken to improve the quality of teachers in the state of Washington, have resulted in the development of pedagogical performance standards for student teachers. These standards are the result of a collaborative effort between the Washington Association of Colleges for Teacher Education (WACTE) and the Office of the Superintendent (OSPI). These two groups have specifically attempted to create an instrument/standards that would enforce the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001" and decrease the achievement gap. Student teachers are required to meet all of the standards while teaching p-12 students. Based on teacher preparation programs and the stage …

Perceptions From A University Field Supervisor's Perch, Barbara A. Phillips

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

The face of teacher supervision has changed tremendously in the past decades. That, of course, has impacted the supervision of student teachers as well. Supervision has evolved from a relatively unimportant role to a major one that assists in the school improvement process. A veteran student teacher supervisor chronicles stu{fent teacher assignments that have been amended, created, or deleted to meet changing needs. 1hese changes have been fashioned by multiple sources: the needs of student teachers, the teacher education program, district and state requirements, as well as a sh(ft in educational paradigms. Supervision is crucial to the improvement of teaching …

Effective Methods Of Supervising Student Teachers In Special Education Environments, Tina Georgeson, Cory Gann, Steve Nourse

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

Although cooperating teachers design and implement model programs of inclusion and special instruction, the supervision of student teachers requires an entirely other "trunk full of unique tools." Successfully facilitating the student teacher's development requires not only good modeling, but also meaningful feedback that is honest and constructive. Such mentoring holds the most promise when the intern receives maximum experience with the tenets of a constructivist teaching philosophy and the implementation of best instructional and management practices. The cooperating teacher is ideally situated to interpret the contours of constructivist theory as it is manifested in daily classroom discourse and activity. Careful …

Teaching Portfolios: Reflective Practice Of One's Own Learning, Kim Flottemesch

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

Looking beyond the actual product, the process of creating a teaching portfolio can have multiple benefits for the preservice teacher. Throughout the process, the individual is able to reflect on their own needs and strengths, offering an opportunity to reflect on one's learning and to articulate who one is as a teacher. It is this personal and individual portrait of one's self as a teaching professional that is a powerful tool of inquiry of the teacher as learner. This study examined preservice teacher; personal experiences of creating their own teaching portfolio. The study concluded that the process of portfolio creation …

Team Teaching In An Online Environment: Effects On Instructors And Students, Cheryl White Sundberg, Michael R.L. Odell, Dennis W. Sunal, Allison Mays, Wendy Perry Ruchti

Northwest Journal of Teacher Education

As demand for online programs and courses increase, institutions of higher education are faced with the challenge of delivering sufficient numbers of high quality online courses to meet the demand. Team teaching is one avenue to address harriers and assist faculty in retooling to deliver online courses. Team teaching can take several forms but always includes sharing responsibility of planning and providing instruction and feedback for the same students by two or more teachers. This study included participants enrolled in a graduate online earth science for in-service middle school teachers at three major research universities located in the Northwest, Midwest, …

This paper will present a brief history of the role of service in higher education, and demonstrate its effectiveness as a full partner to teacher education.
