From Equity To Adequacy: The Legal Battle For Increased State Funding Of Poor School Districts In New York, Brian J. Nickerson, Gernard M. Deenihan

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article evaluates the influence of federal courts' school finance cases on the New York school finance groups' decision to litigate in the New York courts. It then analyzes the importance of other states' legal precedents in school finance cases as a factor influencing interest groups in New York to challenge the state's public education funding formulas. This Article discusses the progression of public elementary and secondary school funding formula litigation in New York, focusing on the legal arguments raised by various interest group-plaintiffs and tracing the development of those arguments to school finance cases in other states. The conclusion …

Examining How The Inclusion Of Disabled Students Into The General Classroom May Affect Non-Disabled Classmates, Marissa L. Antoinette Jan 2003

Examining How The Inclusion Of Disabled Students Into The General Classroom May Affect Non-Disabled Classmates, Marissa L. Antoinette

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Comment discusses the effectiveness of the inclusion of disabled students in general classrooms, focusing particularly on the effects on non-disabled classmates. Part I of this Comment outlines the history of inclusion as established through federal legislation, as well as its gradual implementation in New York City. Part II examines the issues concerning inclusion, looking at the consequences inappropriate inclusion of disabled students may have on the non-disabled ("general") student. Finally, Part III proposes a solution, suggesting that a school district give a disabled student a "three strikes" policy regarding disruptions, after which she may be removed, permanently or temporarily, …

An Effective Drug Policy To Protect America's Youth And Communities, Asa Hutchinson Jan 2003

An Effective Drug Policy To Protect America's Youth And Communities, Asa Hutchinson

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Drug abuse and addiction, and the government's response to these problems, are frequently and appropriately a topic for public debate. Law enforcement has made significant advances in both reducing the number of people using illegal drugs and in the fight against traffickers. Legalization of illegal drugs would not elinate the black market or eliminate drug-related violence. The facts on the issue make a strong case for a national policy geared toward effective drug abuse education and prevention, and treatment for people dependent on illegal drugs. Our nation should also continue to conduct research to determine the most effective means of …

Teachers' Perceptions Of Societal Factors In Teacher Education During The 1980s, Suzanne Michele Katz Jan 2003

Teachers' Perceptions Of Societal Factors In Teacher Education During The 1980s, Suzanne Michele Katz

UNLV Retrospective Theses & Dissertations

Over the past 150 years teacher education has continually been accepted as a necessity for those charged with instructing the young, especially when paired with the common school movement. If all school-aged children were to be in classrooms it followed that teachers trained in educating students needed to be available. As school populations exploded from the mid 1800s to the early 1900s, most communities called for teachers in increasing numbers. Such is an example of the link between societal factors and the education of teachers. The political, historic, and societal foundations on which the practice of teacher education is grounded …

Plagiarism And Its (Disciplinary) Discontents: Towards An Interdisciplinary Theory And Pedagogy, Lisa Maruca Jan 2003

Plagiarism And Its (Disciplinary) Discontents: Towards An Interdisciplinary Theory And Pedagogy, Lisa Maruca

English Faculty Research Publications

Despite the abundance of literature on the topic, there is very little that can be called “common” about our common sense understanding of plagiarism. Taking a closer look at the history, rhetorical uses, and cultural practices of plagiarism, this essay reveals that this concept is multiple and heterogeneous, riddled with contradictions and blind spots. As a result, the article argues the overlapping, inter-related, yet distinct discourses of plagiarism that circulate within the academy can be usefully described as a “complex system.” In positing plagiarism as a complex system, this article has several goals. First, it shows how singular approaches to …

Randomized Comparisons Among Health Informatics Students Identify Hypertutorial Features As Improving Web-Based Instruction, Craig W. Johnson, Yan Xing, Lan Yang Jan 2003

Randomized Comparisons Among Health Informatics Students Identify Hypertutorial Features As Improving Web-Based Instruction, Craig W. Johnson, Yan Xing, Lan Yang

Faculty, Staff and Student Publications

Hypertutorials optimize five features - presentation, learner control, practice, feedback, and elaborative learning resources. Previous research showed graduate students significantly and overwhelmingly preferred Web-based hypertutorials to conventional "Book-on-the-Web" statistics or research design lessons. The current report shows that the source of hypertutorials' superiority in student evaluations of instruction lies in their hypertutorial features. Randomized comparisons between the two methodologies were conducted in two successive iterations of a graduate level health informatics research design and evaluation course. The two versions contained the same text and graphics, but differed in the presence or absence of hypertutorial features: Elaborative learning resources, practice, feedback, …

Local Learning And Employment Partnership: North Metro: Environmental Scan, Beth Walker, Beverley Webster, Alan Charlton

Research outputs pre 2011

Young people are vital to all communities and encouraging and supporting them to participate in education and training is a significant way to ensure that communities maintain a skilled workforce. However, there are many barriers to young people staying in the community, not the least of which is a lack of appropriate jobs. That is, jobs that the young people want to do, but are sustainable for the individual as a career path and not on a casual basis. These jobs normally involve some form of training or further education. Marrying the needs of industry in terms of their current …

William Small 1734-1775: Teacher, Mentor, Scientist, Martin Richard Clagett Jan 2003

William Small 1734-1775: Teacher, Mentor, Scientist, Martin Richard Clagett

Theses and Dissertations

Several studies have examined the life of William Small but only in respect to certain phases of his life, particularly Small's connections to Thomas Jefferson, James Watt, or the Birmingham Lunar Society. In 1758 William Small was recruited for the post of professor of mathematics at the College of William and Mary. From 1760 through 1762, he was Thomas Jefferson's only professor at the College of William and Mary. In 1764 Small returned to England and, with the assistance of Benjamin Franklin and others, became physician and scientific advisor to Matthew Boulton, a wealthy industrialist. Small, Boulton, and Erasmus Darwin …

(2003) Transforming How Teachers Teach And How Students Learn, Laurance J. Splitter Jan 2003

(2003) Transforming How Teachers Teach And How Students Learn, Laurance J. Splitter

Collected Papers of Laurance J. Splitter

For some time, I have been interested in taking the idea of the community of inquiry (COI) beyond the context of philosophy and philosophy for children, to other subject areas and learning areas. We sometimes speak in impressively general terms about transforming "the classroom" into a community of inquiry assuming, perhaps, that once the practice of collective inquiry is established in one domain (eg philosophy), it will inevitably spread to others by the community itself. Another, somewhat more provocative way of stating this claim is to say that not only can subjects other than philosophy be taught as modes or …

Chunking Multisyllable Words Into Word Parts To Increase Reading Fluency And Spelling Accuracy, Joan Muriel Hutchinson Jan 2003

Chunking Multisyllable Words Into Word Parts To Increase Reading Fluency And Spelling Accuracy, Joan Muriel Hutchinson

All Master's Theses

The purpose of this study was to examine the statistical significance between the instructional strategies of the REW ARDS program and a control group by teaching word chunking, or multisyllablism, to increase struggling middle school readers' decoding, reading fluency, and spelling accuracy. An experimental design of pretest, intervention (REW ARDS), and posttest with non-random groups, including a control group, was utilized. The study included three teachers and 23 sixth and seventh graders from two middle schools to test the null hypothesis. The null hypothesis was accepted, not rejected, which used five separate t-tests to statistically prove significance in the areas …
