Using the American Speech Language & Hearing Association’s EBP Toolkit During Supervised School-Based Practicum: Is There an Impact on Student Clinicians’ Ratings of Self-Proficiency?
No full textThe current position statement on evidence-based practice (EBP) published by the American Speech-Language and Hearing Association (ASHA), the national certifying organization for the profession of speech-language pathology states that it is the expectation for those who hold the Certificate of Clinical Competency (CCC) in SLP that they incorporate the basic tenets of EBP including research, clinical experience and expertise, and client and family perspectives (ASHA, 2022). Anecdotally, direct instruction of EBP can be little more than embedded information prior to practicum experiences. This is not to say that EBP methodology was not or is not adequately taught; rather, that varying teaching methodologies across the current generations of speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have resulted in different degrees of exposure and competency. ASHA recognized the inconsistency of EBP practices as an area of need in the early 2000s with a publicized dedication of resources for developing a better understanding of what type of guidance clinical professionals need to apply EBP effectively during client care. Among several documented reasons behind recognized inconsistencies in this area, lack of a systematic framework and practice for using it among graduate level students during practicum is evident in the literature. The purpose of this study is to investigate relationships between these factors to add to the current body of literature and inform SLPs about best practice for educating graduate-level students. Such information is important for further developing EBP curriculum and universally recognized teaching methodology.Smeckova, GabrielaGorham-Rowan, MaryJohnson, KimberlySLP.D.Communication Sciences and Disorder
A Place to Call Home: An Evaluation of Family Promise of Brevard’s Homeless Self-Sufficiency Program
Full text linkHomelessness is on the rise around our nation, with the COVID-19 pandemic exacerbating the problem, and homeless families with children struggle to become self-sufficient through securing and maintaining stable housing and adequate employment. Local organizations are seeking ways to identify and meet those areas of need while making efficient and effective use of their resources. In Brevard County, Florida, Family Promise of Brevard (FPB) has implemented a transitional housing model in its stabilization program to provide support and services to families seeking to break thecycle of homelessness and achieve self-sufficiency. To determine the program’s effectiveness, an analysis of secondary data gathered from families who have transitioned to stable housing will determine if the length of time a family spends in the program affects their level of self-sufficiency in terms of stable housing and financial independence. Control variables of race and ethnicity of head of household, gender, age, number of people in the family unit, and the type of household structure are used to determine if they influence program effectiveness and family outcomes. While the results indicate that demographic variables have a limited impact on self-sufficiency over time, the two significant indicators of self-sufficiency through the Stabilization program are housing and employment. Additionally, the results indicate that the families who stay longer in the program are more likely to be the individuals/families who need more services and assistance to achieve self-sufficiency. Along with the secondary data analysis, a qualitative interview data with a family in the program was analyzed and it shows that relationship-building and life skills are important aspects of the program and FPB staff make a difference through their time, compassion, and dedication spent assisting families in breaking the cycle of homelessness.Lee, KeithKarazsia, ZacharyKanno, HanaeD.P.A.Public Administratio

From ‘Fans’ to ‘Fan’-tastic Writers: A Closer Look into Fanfiction and Legitimatizing Female Authorship through Fanfiction Writing
Full text linkThe increase in technology use remains constant and transforms how we interact, work, and access information in the digital age. As fanfiction grows in popularity, self-publishing platforms such as Archive of Our Own, Fanficiton.net, and Wattpad attracts the attention of big-name publishing houses. Fanfiction writing is a common way for young writers to experiment with writing at their own pace and advance into more difficult genres with a supportive community behind them. The audience for these stories is often other young female writers and readers, so this gives them the opportunity to build a strong rapport with other young readers who can relate to and engage with the narratives. Fan writing is important for young female writers and allows them to challenge gender norms, explore their sexuality, and can even be a gateway to professional writing. Most fanfiction writers included in this thesis concluded that writing fanfiction helped their writing tremendously and boosted their confidence in writing.Chapter I.

Old Berrien Newsletters Vol 6. No.2.
No full textThis item contains 1 PDF with 4 pages in additions to 4 JP2 FilesThis document details the complex history of land acquisition and distribution in Georgia, particularly focusing on the territory that would become Berrien County. Initially, Georgia claimed vast lands from the Atlantic to the Mississippi River, often overlapping with Native American claims. This led to early controversies like the 1795 Yazoo land fraud, where 35 million acres were controversially sold for a mere $500,000, eventually leading to its repeal and federal intervention. A major turning point was the Red Stick War (1813-1814) between Creek factions and American forces, culminating in General Andrew Jackson's victory at Horseshoe Bend and the Treaty of Fort Jackson, which forced the Creek Nation to cede nearly 22 million acres to the United States. This massive land acquisition was primarily distributed through a series of Georgia Land Lotteries, allowing "fortunate drawers" to purchase lots, though most did not homestead but rather sold their prizes, leading to a vibrant land office business. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 and subsequent smaller conflicts like the Battle of Brushy Creek further solidified white settlement. Initially, much of this land was virgin timber, but the late 1890s saw a boom in turpentining and lumbering, which drastically cleared the forests by 1930, followed by cash crops like cotton and tobacco, profoundly transforming the landscape and economy of Berrien County
Old Berrien Newsletters Vol 6. No.3.
No full textThis item contains 1 PDF with 4 pages in addition to 4 JP2 files.This document traces the evolution of agricultural practices and dominant cash crops in Berrien County, Georgia, from early subsistence farming to a complex, market-driven economy. Initially, homesteaders focused on self-sufficiency, but by the mid-1800s, cotton emerged as the primary cash crop, heavily reliant on manual labor, including slave labor initially and then sharecropping families after the Civil War. However, falling prices and the devastating arrival of the boll weevil by 1917 severely impacted cotton production, forcing farmers to seek alternatives. Following the decline of cotton, tobacco became the next major cash crop proving highly profitable by the 1920s despite its intense manual labor requirements. The Great Depression era saw tobacco production boom, with Nashville marketing 8 million pounds in 1933, and the introduction of New Deal subsidies through the Agricultural Adjustment Administration helped stabilize farmers. This period also marked the transition from animal-powered equipment to tractors, which significantly reduced labor needs and increased efficiency, though mules remained prevalent until 1954. By the latter half of the 20th century, changing demographics, off-farm employment, and government buyouts for tobacco in 2005 led to the consolidation of farming into larger operations, leaving cotton, peanuts, pecans, and some tobacco as the dominant cash crops for those who can afford modern farming
College Completion and Combat Veterans: Barriers and Institutional Efforts to Facilitate Successful Completion
No full textSince the signing of the Post-9/11 GI Bill in 2008, veteran enrollment in college has increased to numbers not seen since the end of World War II. This most recent iteration of the GI Bill provides education benefits for thirty-six months at a great cost to the taxpayers. Student veterans are a unique class of non-traditional students due to their military experiences and use of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. This qualitative study was conducted using the CIPP evaluation model to assess the needs of the student veteran, what measures the institution has in place to meet those needs, and if the veterans thought the institution’s procedures, programs, and services facilitated degree completion within the timeframe of the Post-9/11 GI Bill. Data were collected through individual interviews of current and recent graduates using open-ended questions. After respondent validation of the interviews, thematic analysis was used to code the data from which the researcher identified several themes. The themes identified were mandatory policies and processes and optional services. The data and participant responses indicate that some institution services, those specifically for veterans, can be very beneficial toward degree completion. However, the policies and processes of the institution geared toward traditional students can inhibit timely progress toward degree completion for veterans. Some of these processes and policies are outside the institution’s ability to change, though there are institutional requirements for programs which should look at the veteran’s whole life experience, not only their transcripts.Ott, KennyBond, SarahWaugh, C.Ed.D.Adult & Career Educatio

Fanfiction writing has led young writers into and through their careers as respected authors as well as careers involving academic and legal writing. Specific copyright laws and procedures have been put in place to protect the original works as well as the fanfiction writers and as long as proper protocol is followed, fan writers can avoid legal trouble and copyright issues. Further, fanfiction empowers young female writers by providing a creative outlet for expression, developing creative and critical writing skills, encouraging support through fan communities, and encouraging critical engagement through narratives and society.James, ChristineHall, DeborahBlix, EricM.A.Englis
