No full textAre you interested in using expanded learning time to increase student achievement?In this archived webinar, Ben Lummis, Vice President for the National Center on Time & Learning (NCTL), and Sarah Gallagher, Program Associate at NCTL, discuss effective uses of additional learning time to:offer additional blocks of time for academic supportprovide interventions for struggling studentsmake available additional supports before the school year, after school, and on SaturdaysYou will learn key principles to guide the development of these learning time strategies and will find out about examples from elementary, middle, and high schools
Using Additional Teacher Collaboration Time to Improve Student Achievement
No full textWould you like to know more about using additional teacher collaboration time effectively to improve instruction and accelerate student achievement?In this archived webinar, Ben Lummis, Vice President for the National Center on Time & Learning (NCTL), and Sarah Gallagher, Program Associate at NCTL, share how more time can be best used to improve teacher collaboration and professional development.The webinar explores the essential components of productive teacher time through examples of effective practices at both elementary and high schools.The key principles for effectively expanding learning time are highlighted:Add significantly more learning time for all studentsMake every minute countCapitalize on increased learning time by using data to individualize instruction and provide tiered supportProvide more time with quality teaching when allocating resource
Making Choices to Prioritize Learning Time for Students
No full textHow can school districts, unions, and schools collaborate to create innovative time and prioritize expanded learning time for students?Budgets, staffing, and negotiated agreements don't have to place strict limits on the length of the school day.In this archived webinar on expanded learning time, Ben Lummis, Vice President for the National Center on Time & Learning (NCTL), and Sarah Gallagher, Program Associate at NCTL, share a framework for flexibly thinking about resources to maximize the length of your school day.Lummis and Gallagher discuss strategies that have allowed expanded time schools to stretch their resources and gain additional learning time for students while staying within their budgets and abiding by their contracts.Some strategies explored are:Leveraging partnershipsUse of technologyAdjusting staff schedule

Memo from Ben B. Lummis, Sr. Engineer, Public Works Division, Heart Mountain Relocation Project, to Janitors Superintendents, January 26, 1943
No full textMemorandum of understanding from Ben Lummis to janitors and superintendents regarding the duties and workload of janitors and boiler firemen at Heart Mountain incarceration camp.The Japanese American Archival Collection documents the people, places, and daily life of Japanese Americans, primarily those who lived in the once thriving community of pre-war Florin in the Sacramento region, as well as the conditions in American incarceration camps during World War II. The approximately 7,000 original items include personal and official letters, photographs, diaries, arts and crafts, newsletters, textiles, camps artifacts, yearbooks and other publications
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
