Integrating Literacy Into The Math Classroom : A Staff Development For Innovative Educators, Kathryn Pollina Jan 2012

Integrating Literacy Into The Math Classroom : A Staff Development For Innovative Educators, Kathryn Pollina

Graduate Research Papers

With the collaboration and advice of several mentors and practicing teachers, I found using strategies proven to help students during literacy instruction also had the same effect during mathematics instruction. I took various instructional activities, focused around using reading and writing skills in math, and was able to effectively instruct this group of students. This experience piqued my interest in the connection between literacy and mathematics. As a result, I decided to continue my research into how to effectively integrate these two core subject areas, investigating the efficacy of combining mathematics with literacy instruction.

Online Learning: Exploring The Landscape, Jonathan D. Becker, Jesse Senechal, Charol Shakeshaft

MERC Publications

The Policy and Planning Council of the Metropolitan Educational Research Consortium (MERC) at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) rightfully identified online learning as an area ripe for study. This report summarizes findings from both phases of the research is the first report of the study that was ultimately commissioned. After a brief review of the literature, this report includes a description of the survey research portion of the study as well as findings from the statewide survey that was undertaken and then phase 2, which consisted of case studies of four Virginia school divisions. The report concludes with a brief summary …


Ptsd And Women Warriors: Causes, Controls, And A Congressional Cure, Olympia Duhart Jan 2012

Ptsd And Women Warriors: Causes, Controls, And A Congressional Cure, Olympia Duhart

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that the combat exclusion policy for women in the U.S. military contributes to higher rates of PTSD among female veterans and perpetuates gender-based discrimination. It asserts that this policy is unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment and advocates for its repeal to improve mental health outcomes and promote gender equality in the military.

A Tango Between Copyright And Choreography: Whiteness As Status Property In Balanchine's Ballets, Fuller's Serpentine Dance, And Graham's Modern Dances, Caroline Joan S. Picart Jan 2012

A Tango Between Copyright And Choreography: Whiteness As Status Property In Balanchine's Ballets, Fuller's Serpentine Dance, And Graham's Modern Dances, Caroline Joan S. Picart

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the intersection of race, gender, and copyright law in the context of modern dance in the United States. It argues that the legal battles over copyright protection for choreography were deeply influenced by racial and gender biases, with white male choreographers like George Balanchine securing ownership and control over their works, while female choreographers like Martha Graham faced significant challenges in maintaining control over their intellectual property. The article highlights how these dynamics shaped the legal framework for copyright protection in dance, emphasizing the role of whiteness and gender in determining ownership and legacy.


Predators In Paradise: Puerto Rico's Recent Sex Offender Problems And The Federal Government's Ill Suited Solutions, Adan Soltren Jan 2012

Predators In Paradise: Puerto Rico's Recent Sex Offender Problems And The Federal Government's Ill Suited Solutions, Adan Soltren

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the challenges and implications of implementing the Adam Walsh Act (2006) in Puerto Rico, particularly its Sex Offender Registration and Notification Act (SORNA) provisions. It highlights Puerto Rico's noncompliance with SORNA due to its less stringent sex offender laws and the economic and policy concerns surrounding full adoption. The analysis critiques SORNA's one-size-fits-all approach, especially its treatment of juvenile offenders, and proposes tailored solutions for Puerto Rico to address these issues while maintaining public safety.


Where Are They Coming From, Where Are They Going: Demanding Accountability In International Adoption, Elizabeth Long Jan 2012

Where Are They Coming From, Where Are They Going: Demanding Accountability In International Adoption, Elizabeth Long

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note advocates for the United States to exclusively permit international adoptions from countries that have ratified the Hague Adoption Convention (HAC). This approach aims to enhance accountability, prevent human trafficking, and ensure that adoptions are conducted ethically and transparently. The HAC provides a framework that protects the rights of children, birth families, and adoptive parents, addressing the shortcomings of non-HAC adoptions, which often lack sufficient safeguards.


"She Stedfastly Accused Him In The Time Of Her Travail": Women's Words And Paternity Suits In 18th-Century Massachusetts, Kristin A. Olbertson Jan 2012

"She Stedfastly Accused Him In The Time Of Her Travail": Women's Words And Paternity Suits In 18th-Century Massachusetts, Kristin A. Olbertson

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article examines the decline of women's testimony in bastardy cases in post-revolutionary Massachusetts, arguing that this shift was driven by changing gender ideologies, the Anglicization of legal procedures, and the increasing exclusion of women from authoritative roles. While women's testimony was once central to determining paternity, by the late 18th century, male jurors became the primary decision-makers, reflecting broader societal efforts to restrict women's public roles. The analysis highlights how this transition underscores the intersection of legal and cultural changes in early America.


Abandoning Women To Their Rights: What Happens When Feminist Jurisprudence Ignores Birthing Rights, Rebecca A. Spence Jan 2012

Abandoning Women To Their Rights: What Happens When Feminist Jurisprudence Ignores Birthing Rights, Rebecca A. Spence

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that feminist jurisprudence has neglected the critical issue of birthing rights, failing to integrate them into legal scholarship and education. This omission leaves women vulnerable to violations of their autonomy and dignity during childbirth, as courts and legislatures often prioritize fetal interests and medical authority over women's rights. The article emphasizes the need for a more robust legal framework that protects women's rights to make autonomous decisions about their care, including access to midwifery and the right to refuse medical interventions.


Ain't I A Victim? The Intersectionality Of Race, Class, And Gender In Domestic Violence And The Courtroom, Geneva Brown Jan 2012

Ain't I A Victim? The Intersectionality Of Race, Class, And Gender In Domestic Violence And The Courtroom, Geneva Brown

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The legal system systematically fails to protect marginalized groups, particularly African American women, from intimate-partner violence due to entrenched race, gender, and class biases. These biases manifest in the courts' disregard for the unique experiences of African American women, as highlighted by Kimberlé Crenshaw's intersectionality theory. The article examines how systemic discrimination and the courts' failure to enforce protective orders perpetuate violence against this vulnerable population, emphasizing the lethal consequences of these failures. The analysis also critiques the Supreme Court's narrowing of constitutional protections in cases like DeShaney v. Winnebago County and Castle Rock v. Gonzales, which further erode …

The Internet And The Evolution Of Library Research: The Perspective Of One Longitudinal Study, Paul T. Jaeger, Kim M. Thompson, Jonathan Lazar

Faculty Publications

The article discusses the impact of the Internet on library research, public libraries, and public library research. It examines the methods of the Public Library Funding and Technology Access Study. The authors assert that the Internet has allowed libraries to add capacity to library research. The article briefly discusses the technological environment prior to the Internet and studies sponsored by the U.S. National Commission on Libraries and Information Science (NCLIS) and the American Library Association (ALA).

Examination Of Factors Impacting Student Satisfaction With A New Learning Management System, Lucy Santos Green, Fethi A. Inan, Bree Denton

Faculty Publications

The purpose of this study was to determine factors that influenced student satisfaction with a new learning management system and to identify which of these factors were most important. The data was collected using an an online survey tool that was administered to students enrolled in courses designed and taught by faculty who participated in a pilot group testing a new learning management system (LMS). The findings support previous research in this area, indicating that usability of the LMS and availability of technical assistance is strongly correlated with student satisfaction. Study findings will be used to improve LMS training and …


The Tokyo Trial At Richmond: Digitizing The Sutton Collection Of Documents From The International Military Tribunal For The Far East, Suzanne Corriell Jan 2012

The Tokyo Trial At Richmond: Digitizing The Sutton Collection Of Documents From The International Military Tribunal For The Far East, Suzanne Corriell

Law Faculty Publications

As an ongoing project, the effort to digitize and present the Sutton Collection is far from complete. Our effort has the potential to become a leading resource for materials relating to the Tokyo trial and, with the help of our faculty partners, to demonstrate relevancy of the trial to current issues in international criminal law and to the development of Japan’s role in modern East Asia. As the project team learns more about the collection, consults with similar projects, and continues to implement innovative applications, processes are constantly updated. The coming year should bring further progress, and we look forward …


The Land Of Give And Take, Tyler Farrell Jan 2012

The Land Of Give And Take, Tyler Farrell

English Faculty Research and Publications

In The Land of Give and Take, Tyler Farrell’s second collection of poems, a variety of characters appear as on a stage: teenagers and grandparents, priests and poets, the wise and the foolish, professors and proles. Their stories are told by an acute narrator, or often by the characters themselves, and as one poem says, “someone buys the story.” The reader buys these stories for their authenticity and pathos. Shadowing many of the poems is a conflicted Catholicism, sometimes resentful of the churches claims, but recognizing that nothing else gives weight and meaning to the lives of these transient …


Bargained Justice: Plea Bargaining's Innocence Problem And The Brady Safety-Valve, Lucian E. Dervan Jan 2012

Bargained Justice: Plea Bargaining's Innocence Problem And The Brady Safety-Valve, Lucian E. Dervan

Law Faculty Scholarship

If any number of attorneys were asked in 2004 whether Lea Fastow’s plea bargain in the Enron case was constitutional, the majority would respond with a simple word – Brady. Yet while the 1970 Supreme Court decision Brady v. United States authorized plea bargaining as a form of American justice, the case also contained a vital caveat that has been largely overlooked by scholars, practitioners, and courts for almost forty years. Brady contains a safety-valve that caps the amount of pressure that may be asserted against defendants by prohibiting prosecutors from offering incentives in return for guilty pleas that are …

Can We Regulate Our Way To Energy Efficiency? Product Standards As Climate Policy, Noah M. Sachs Jan 2012

Can We Regulate Our Way To Energy Efficiency? Product Standards As Climate Policy, Noah M. Sachs

Law Faculty Publications

In this Article, I demonstrate that the regulatory strategy for energy efficiency is working. Although information disclosure, financial incentives, and other softer alternatives to regulation play a vital role in reducing energy demand, these should be viewed as complements to efficiency regulation, rather than replacements. The regulatory approach has led to substantial cost and energy savings in the past, it has enjoyed bipartisan political support, and it targets products and behaviors that are difficult to address through other policy tools. Given the politics of climate change in the United States, which make federal carbon taxes or a cap-and-trade system infeasible, …
