The Art of Democracy / Democracy as Art: Creative Learning in Afterschool Comic Book Clubs
By Michael Bitz
Over the past three years, hundreds of community-based afterschool comic book clubs have been launched in cities across the United States. These clubs have drawn in thousands of underserved youths in grades 1–12. In these clubs, children plan, write, sketch, design, and produce original comic books and then publish and distribute their works for other children in the community to use as learning and motivational tools. This synthetic and analytic research project explores the dynamics, outcomes, and impacts of afterschool comic book …

I am very grateful to all the past Women’s Studies directors, particularly Joy Ritchie and Barbara DiBernard, who built such a healthy program.

Organizational Change Of Parking Systems At University Of Colorado Hospital, Sarah S. Kabat

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

During a move from the 9th Avenue campus to the new Fitzsimons campus, University of Colorado Hospital made improvements to the existing parking policies. The new parking policies were met with resistance and complaints by employees. This problem caused employee tardiness, lowered morale, and decreased job satisfaction. Data gathered through secondary data, questionnaires and group interviews provided information establishing the extent and nature of the resistance to the new parking policies. Validity was enhanced through multiple methods. Through action research, underlying reasons were investigated for these parking issues and the researcher proposed a collaborative strategy to improve the systems related …

Akron's "Better Half": Women's Clubs And The Humanization Of The City, 1825-1925, Kathleen L. Endres

University of Akron Press Publications

While the men of Akron busied themselves laying the economic, legal, and industrial foundations, their mothers, wives, sisters, and daughters were equally busy weaving the benevolent and cultural fabric of the growing city. It was a pattern replicated in scores of industrial centers across the nation.

This is the story of how it happened in Akron, Ohio. Akron's "Better Half": Women's Clubs and the Humanization of the City, 1825-1925 looks at how women brought much-needed services to the city, created health institutions that continue today, and built Akron's cultural and literary foundations. Akron's women seldom acted alone; they preferred to …

Application Of Differentiation And Universal Design For Learning In The Second Grade Science Curriculum, Tami Wootton Flach

Regis University Student Publications (comprehensive collection)

Differentiated instruction (DI) and Universal Design for Learning (UDL) are philosophies that serve as teaching methodologies that address the needs of diverse learners in the regular classroom. Furthermore, DI can be used to engage students in instruction through different modalities, appeal to different interests, and use varied rates of instruction along with varied degrees of complexity. Also, UDL is an extension of DI, wherein the teacher provides alternatives that are built into the curriculum and suitable for most students. Additionally, the UDL model can be supported by the six principles of effective curriculum (Kame'emui & Simmons, 1999) to design curricular …

The Role Of Transportation In Selected Syracuse Child Care Centers, Syracuse University. Maxwell School. Community Benchmarks Program

Community Benchmarks Program

This study examines the role of transportation for families with children enrolled in child care in Syracuse, New York. The focus of this report is 10 child care centers registered with Child Care Solutions of Onondaga County. The 10 centers were selected because 80% of the children enrolled are part of the federal free or reduced price lunch program. Child Care Solutions wanted to focus on this population because it has particular concern about enrollment in centers serving low-income children. One large inner-city center closed last spring due to lack of enrollment, a second came close to closing, and there …

Insurance Causation: Texas Law On First-Party Claims, Randall L. Smith, Fred A. Simpson

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

This Article is principally concerned with insurance causation in situations where concurrent and consecutive perils, one covered and one excluded, combine to cause a single loss to insured property. Under those conditions, the legally responsible cause of loss to insured property is identified under two distinctly different rules when both of these conditions exist: (1) there is no order of succession in time of two or more events; and (2) damages from each of the concurrent causes of resulting loss cannot be distinguished.

In The Shadowlands: Fisher And The Outpatient Civil Commitment Of “Sexually Violent Predators” In Texas, Ronnie Hall

Texas Wesleyan Law Review

This Note will suggest some possible improvements to Texas's approach to handling the offenders it and other states have chosen to label "sexually violent predators," including the option that Texas replace its SVP statute with an inpatient civil commitment regime similar to those in other states. Part II of this Note will reflect some historical background behind civil commitment, including the traditional rationales underlying it, the early emphasis on procedural due process in nineteenth century American jurisprudence, and the development of commitment laws specifically aimed at sex offenders in the twentieth century. Part III will address the state of the …
