Note-Taking and Literacy in Algebra 1 Linear Equations
Get PDFThis curriculum project presents four sequential lessons designed to help students develop a deeper understanding of linear equations through scaffolded instruction and purposeful note-taking strategies. Lessons guide students from foundational concepts to more complex applications, with note formats evolving alongside the content. The first lesson introduces core concepts and key vocabulary using highly guided notes. The second lesson shifts to partially guided notes, giving students more independence while maintaining structure. In the third lesson, students use graphic-style notes to make visual connections between equations, graphs, and tables. The final lesson incorporates process-oriented notes, encouraging students to explain their reasoning, reflect on each step, and apply learning to real-world scenarios. These varied note-taking approaches support mathematical literacy by helping students recognize patterns, connect ideas, and engage actively with content. Complete, teacher-ready lesson plans outline objectives, materials, instructional steps, and formative assessments. Student-ready materials—including note sheets, practice problems, and exit tickets—are fully included, with answer keys for all student-ready materials provided in the appendix to support monitoring and feedback. Together, this curriculum offers a practical, flexible resource for teaching linear equations that fosters clarity, conceptual understanding, and confidence while promoting active engagement and reasoning skills essential for future algebra learning.SUNY BrockportDepartment of Education and Human Developmen
The Social and Academic Needs of SLIFE
Get PDFStudents with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE) are a growing yet underserved population in U.S. schools. Many arrive with disrupted schooling, limited literacy, and experiences of trauma that create barriers to academic achievement and social integration. This thesis examines the dual needs of SLIFE, social and academic, through a review of current research to highlight both persistent challenges and effective practices for support. Working with a student identified as SLIFE during the previous academic year significantly deepened the understanding of the complexities involved in educating learners with interrupted formal schooling. Within the district and in the local BOCES network, no formal SLIFE program or established framework currently exists to guide educators in developing appropriate systems of support. In the absence of a structured model, effective practice emerged through the cultivation of a supportive, trusting, and affirming classroom environment in which the student’s voice and cultural identity were intentionally valued. This experience demonstrated that meaningful progress for SLIFE extends beyond academic interventions alone; it depends equally on creating conditions that address both their social-emotional development and academic growth. This study underscores the need for equity-driven practices that move beyond remediation to empowerment, recognizing SLIFE not as deficient learners but as resilient, capable individuals whose experiences enrich our classrooms and communities.SUNY BrockportDepartment of Education and Human Developmen
Empathy and its Effect on One’s Preference Towards a Particular Model of Addiction
Get PDFThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between empathy and one’s preference towards a particular model of addiction. The models of addiction specified for this study, were the disease model and the psychosocial model. The participants used in this study consisted of 28 college students from psychology classes at a college in Upstate New York. These participates were given course credit if they chose to participate in this study. The study was given online and responses were kept confidential. The results indicated that no significant effect exists between level of empathy with either the disease or psychosocial model.SUNY PlattsburghPsychology Departmen

The relationship between specific language background, stimulus modality, and false memory
No full textMemory is extremely fallible. It is easy to create a false memory (i.e., a memory of something you did not experience) using the DRM paradigm. Research shows that the semantic priming is likely the source of the classic false memory effect that leads to misremembering a word like “shirt” after seeing a list of words like “dress, coat, and pants.” Semantic priming is also present cross-linguistically, such that in an English/French bilingual, dog in English primes chien (dog) in French or even related words like chat (cat). A second robust finding is that the DRM effect is larger when stimuli are presented auditorily vs. visually in languages that use alphabetic writing systems (e.g., English). However, it has been reported that the opposite effect was observed in Chinese, which has a very different writing system, such that false memories were recalled more visually than auditorily (Mao et al, 2010). The current study recruited bilingual participants who have the common language of English, but whose second language is either Chinese or a language that uses an alphabetic script (e.g., French or Spanish), to test if these modality effects also transfer cross-linguistically. Results did not support our hypothesis. Interestingly, the predicted modality x language group interaction was present in the memory for old words, where alphabetic bilinguals were more accurate for visually than auditorily presented words, but English-Chinese bilinguals were equally accurate for visually and auditorily presented words. These results suggest that the languages you know may influence how you use your memory.NASUNY College at New PaltzHonorsN/AHirshorn, ElizabethGrossi, Giordan
Survival and feeding preferences of Gammarus exposed to saline pollution
Get PDFRoad salt from winter de-icing pollutes negatively impacts aquatic ecosystems and biota. We measured Gammarus survival and leaf herbivory on green and yellow watercress (Nasturtium officinale) leaves at different salinity levels. Survival decreased significantly at 4 ppt salinity, and yellow leaves experienced more herbivory than green leaves across all conditions.Biological SciencesHellquist, C. Eri
Molecular Identification of Egg Samples to Identify Lake Trout Spawning Habitat in Lake Ontario
Get PDFAssessing natural reproduction of fish is important for fisheries management. Because of the visual similarity of eggs we are developing a genetic test to differentiate between Lake Trout and other Lake Ontario species. We are exploring methods and possibly have found a mutant Lake Trout strain that has complicated differentiation.Biological SciencesSard, NicholasHellquist, C. Eri

Art Repatriation in Senegal
No full textThe issue of art repatriation in Senegal has emerged as a serious conversation, this paper explores the multiple layers of art repatriation in Senegal, diving into the historical contexts, and the socio-cultural involvement. By examining articles and case studies, first-hand experiences, podcasts, etc, this study seeks to illuminate the challenges and solutions in the repatriation process. As a student, I was drawn to exploring the historical context surrounding art repatriation but for me it goes far deeper than that due to my experience traveling and working in Senegal.Purchase College SUNYArts ManagementBachelor of ArtsForstrom, Meliss
