An Exploration of Gifted Hispanic/Latino Students’ Educational Capital at One Title I Elementary School
Get PDFGifted programs, designed to enhance engagement and rigor for students exhibiting talent or potential beyond their peers in the general education classroom, are not equitably identifying and serving Hispanic/Latino students. This qualitative study explored gifted programming at a Title I elementary school located in a largely Hispanic/Latino community. Very few students received gifted services at the school, despite equity measures in place. Using a framework of educational capital, this study highlighted the cultural capital and community cultural wealth of gifted Hispanic/Latino students and provided suggestions for enhancing programming for this historically underidentified population of learners. Data were collected through semistructured interviews of parents and teachers of students receiving gifted services. Questions were aligned with concepts of capital, and a priori codes were used to analyze participant perspectives. Findings identified embodied cultural capital as the dominant gifted paradigm, but inequitable opportunities to learn hinder students’ ability to embody giftedness. Also, the linguistic capital of other cultures has been unrecognized by gifted testing, impacting access for gifted emergent bilingual students. Finally, barriers to success (e.g., low levels of rigor and engagement at the school, lack of opportunity to test for the gifted program, and lack of navigational capital for parents and teachers) threaten the vibrant hopes and dreams parents and teachers have for these students. Findings support the need for increased gifted programming in Title I schools and updated gifted policy to reflect culturally inclusive values
The Role of Equity Leaders in Implementing the Community School Policy Framework in California
Get PDFThis study explored the role of Equity Leadership in implementing the Community School Policy Framework in California, focusing on addressing systemic inequities. Using a qualitative approach, this research drew on six in-depth interviews with public sector leaders in the California Community School Partnership Program (CCSPP). Findings underscored the critical importance of equity-focused leadership, intentional collaboration, and data-driven accountability in advancing equitable practices within the community school model. The research highlighted that effective implementation of the framework depends on tailoring strategies to California’s unique community needs and centering on under-resourced students. Fostering cross-sector partnerships and actively engaging community partners were essential for embedding equity within educational policy and practice. This study provided valuable insights for leaders and policymakers to implement and scale community school initiatives in ways that prioritize equitable outcomes, supporting the development of more inclusive and responsive educational systems
Inflation Targeting and Output Stabilization in an Estimated Monetary Model
Get PDFThis paper studies determinacy conditions in a monetary model with an interest rate rule. In addition to the inflation rate as an argument of the policy rule, we introduce a second argument: output, a case empirically relevant but overlooked in the existing literature on monetary models with flexible prices. Firstly, we estimate a model with money in utility and the production function. We find that an aggressive response to inflation does not necessarily guarantee determinacy anymore. Secondly, we compare monetary policy in the pre-Volcker era and the post-Volcker era. We find that, after the appointment of Paul Volcker, the Federal Reserve started to respond more aggressively to inflation and less aggressively to output. Indeterminacy is pervasive: the equilibrium is indeterminate in both sub-samples. Thirdly, we estimate the impulse response functions. We find that monetary shocks, sunspot inflation shocks, and productivity shocks have long-lasting effects on inflation, output, and interest rates
Ignatian Values and International Conference on Disability
Get PDFThis essay focuses on the values of Ignatius Loyola (1491–1556) concerning the issues related to disability and how the mission of the “Conference on Disability at the Intersection of History, Culture, Religion, Gender, and Health” hosted by Marquette University embodies those values. This conference, which was first held in 2022 and planned to take place in 2025 again, serves several goals shared by Jesuit education, Catholic values and Ignatius’ philosophy. It aspires to contribute to social justice, deep thinking and reflection, and meaningful change in society. Above all, the conference is motivated by ‘service’ to humanity and thus to the Divine. It is a value-based initiative that aims to eliminate the socially constructed and thus man-made divisions and hierarchies based on material and physical characteristics. After probing into how the Disability Conference represents Ignatian values and contributes to their actualization in the society, the paper provides some examples from the conference presentations
Synod and the Arts Inspire Hope and Imagination
Get PDFThe process of journeying together, spiritual listening, discerning communally, and incorporating community art has kindled hope and imagination for Philadelphia-area university students during the ongoing, three-year global Synod on “Communion, Participation and Mission,” which Pope Francis convened in October of 2021. The SCHEAP leadership team desires to share what we have learned through our hope-filled and creative synodal process so that others may cultivate the protagonism of college students in imagining the future of the Church through synodal practices of spiritual listening, relationship-building, and creative communal discernment
