Davol Square Shopping Center
No full textHome to the Davol Rubber Co. from 1884 until 1977, the complex were rehabilitated and reopened for mixed retail and office use in 1982. However, despite high occupancy and easy highway access, the shops slowly disappeared and the mall closed down in 1991. Davol Square was Providence’s first attempt of converting factory space into retail/office use based on the model of San Francisco’s Ghirardelli Square (1962) and was meant to rival Boston’s Quincy Marketplace/Faneuil Hall which opened in the late 1970s. According to Jordy, the most original aspect of the complex is the overhead glazing of an alley between three- and four-story buildings which had created the core shopping arcade. Since the 1990s, the buildings have reverted as a permanent display center for the wholesale jewelry trade and is therefore closed to the public.https://digitalcommons.ric.edu/smolski_images/1101/thumbnail.jp

Judging Competence
Get PDFThis study analyzed written records created by college clinical supervisors, of student teaching observations carried out during the Fall 2008 and Spring 2009 semester. Observations, conducted in public schools in a Northeastern state, reflected the dual enrollment status of each student teacher; that is, each candidate was observed, multiple times, in both a general elementary or middle level classroom and in a setting focused on students with special educational needs. The purposes of the analysis were to 1) examine the language used by the observer that both describes and evaluates the student teacher_s performance, particularly as it differentiates levels of expertise; 2) explore the level of agreement offered within and across (multiple) reports about the same teacher candidate; and 3) outline the development of meaningful processes for evaluating teacher candidates during the student teaching experience
Resurrecting Smelser: Collective Power, Generalized Belief, and Hegemonic Spaces
Get PDFWhen people mobilize for collective action, it is because they want something. These wants are known as grievances, and in order for them to emerge, collectivities must break free of hegemonic power to see their true interests. This paper takes a new look at Smelser\u27s The Logic of Collective Action and finds that by incorporating a robust understanding of power, Smelser\u27s framework can provide an understanding of grievance emergence

Determining Eligibility
Get PDFThis investigation examined the relationship between school-based evaluations and private-agency educational evaluation (IEEs) written reports regarding the identification of children with specific learning disabilities (SLD). Analyses included determining the level of agreement between evaluations, and the procedures used to evaluate the special educational needs of the students assessed. Satisfactory agreement between evaluations was found when a broader spectrum of disability categories was compared, while less agreement was indicated when identifying SLD. The private agency used almost twice as many assessment tools than school-based evaluators to determine eligibility. The need for definitive assessment criteria, and the importance of collaboration among evaluators to enhance student achievement and family understanding of need were noted as implications. The utility of evaluation reports for schoolbased practitioners as they determine eligibility for special education services, which affects educational programs/interventions designed to support children/adolescents in school, was viewed as additional implications of the study
The Rebellious Angel
Get PDFExamines Virginia Woolf\u27s writing and her anger in historical contexts, revealing that circumstances dictated that she deflect this volatile emotion. Focuses on the ways in which this deflection of anger illuminates the fictional dynamics of Woolf\u27s autobiographical novel, To the Lighthouse and analyzes the concept of the Angel in the House, posited to be at the root of Woolf\u27s anger. Argues that anger exists on three levels in the novel and that the main character, Mrs. Ramsay, is a victim of the Angel in the House ideology
