A Survey of General Education Teachers\u27 Knowledge of Students with an Emotional Disability in the General Education Classroom
Get PDFThis study aims to understand Secondary General Education teachers’, 9th through 12th grade teachers of subjects such as math, English science, etc., perceptions and approaches to students with ED. A mixed methods approach was used to survey General Education teachers in a Midwestern high school.
General education teachers did not feel adequately prepared to meet the needs of students with an Emotional Disability. Teachers identified many challenges in working with students with ED. Teachers identified how to keep these students engaged in the classroom and interested in learning as a struggle. They also acknowledged the managing the classroom after an outburst from the student as a struggle
Social Media in Employee Selection and Recruitment: Theory, Practice and Current Challenges
No full textThis timely resource offers fresh research on companies’ use of social media platforms―from Twitter and Facebook to LinkedIn and other career sites―to find and hire personnel. Its balanced approach explains why and how social media are commonly used in both employee recruitment and selection, exploring relevant theoretical constructs and practical considerations about their appropriateness and validity. Contributors clarify a confusing cyberscape with recommendations and best practices, legal and ethical issues, pitfalls and problems, and possibilities for standardization. And the book’s insights on emerging and anticipated developments will keep the reader abreast of the field as it evolves
Uniting Students to Fulfill the Common Goal of Online Reputation Management
No full textMost college students are at least somewhat aware that negative personal information online can hinder their future employment prospects. In this session, we highlight a project that was designed to help management students recognize the potential pitfalls of their personal social media usage and how to be proactive about establishing a positive online reputation. In turn, these same management students are also assigned the task of helping others on campus achieve such awareness. This project therefore unites students across majors in a mutually beneficial way that serves both and deepens student learning
Universal Lower Bounds for Potential Energy of Spherical Codes
No full textWe derive and investigate lower bounds for the potential energy of finite spherical point sets (spherical codes). Our bounds are optimal in the following sense – they cannot be improved by employing polynomials of the same or lower degrees in the Delsarte-Yudin method. However, improvements are sometimes possible and we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of such better bounds. All our bounds can be obtained in a unified manner that does not depend on the potential function, provided the potential is given by an absolutely monotone function of the inner product between pairs of points, and this is the reason for us to call them universal. We also establish a criterion for a given code of dimension n and cardinality N not to be LP-universally optimal, e.g. we show that two codes conjectured by Ballinger et al to be universally optimal are not LP-universally optimal
