S-STEP 2.0 Finding our Way: Teaching in Alternate Modes of Delivery
No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has forced us to critically re-evaluate teaching strategies. This self-study of teacher education practices (S-STEP) builds on previous research to compare effective traditional lessons with alternate modes of delivery. In this interactive session, we share several lessons. Participants will be actively engaged. In S-STEP 2.0, we compare and contrast lessons such as ice-breakers, jigsaws, discussions and group activities, utilizing Moodle, Big Blue Button, Padlet, Slido, Google Docs, and other online tools. We critically analyze the teaching of graduate students through S-STEP with the help of a critical friend. In addition, we explore Comparative Ethnographic Narrative (CEN) as another way of knowing within the S-STEP space (Howe, 2010). “A critical friend acts as a sounding board, asks challenging questions, supports reframing of events, and joins in the professional learning experience” (Schuck & Russell, 2005, p. 107). CEN is well-aligned with LaBoskey’s (2004) criteria of self-study: “it is self-initiated and focused; it is improvement-aimed; it is interactive; it includes multiple, mainly qualitative methods; and it defines validity as a validation process based on trustworthiness” (p. 817). Data includes detailed weekly reflections and feedback from students. Students provide written feedback at the end of each class and at the end of term through a survey and course evaluation. E-journal reflections are shared with a critical friend via email and in person over MS Teams. Then, together we make meaning from them. The research text evolves from teacher-to-teacher conversations (Howe, 2010; Howe & Cope-Watson, 2020; Yonemura, 1982)

"Asset Poverty in The United States: Its Persistence in an Expansionary Economy"
No full textFrom this paper's Preface, by Dr. Dimitri B. Papadimitriou, President: Economic growth and a rising stock market in the 1990s gave the impression that everyone was accumulating wealth and asset poverty rates were declining. The impression was supported by the official, income-based poverty measure, which exhibited a sharp decline. According to Senior Scholar Edward N. Wolff and Research Scholar Asena Caner, poverty measures should include wealth as well as income. Their study of asset poverty in the United States between 1984 and 1999 focuses on the lower end of the wealth distribution and shows that asset poverty rates did not decline during the period studied, and that the severity of poverty increased. It also shows that asset poverty is much more persistent than income poverty.
The problem of the mystery of creation
No full textThe article deals with the problem of creation – a reality that has been talked about since ancient times. Many accept this concept, while some reject it as unjustifiable. The author tries to show where difficulties come from, and then generally say who the Creator is and what created reality is. He also raises the question of how what is general relates to marriage and the family.abp prof. dr hab.

Teachers' perceptions of principal leadership in relation to student achievement, 2005
No full textThe purpose of this study was to examine fourth grade students' achievement in relation to teachers' perceptions of the principals' leadership behavior and other selected variables in a metropolitan Atlanta school district. Student achievement was measured by the differences in the percentage of students who met or exceeded expectations on the Georgia Criterion-Referenced Competency Tests (CRCT) during the 2004-05 and 2005-06 school years. The Profile for Assessment of Leadership (PAL) instrument was used to measure leadership behavior. It consisted of six competencies: instructional leadership, interpersonal skills, making decisions, facilities planning and student behavior, teacher evaluation implementation, and school climate. The sample was 3900 teachers in 81 of the 84 schools. The schools' demographic variables were: percentage of students on free and reduced lunch, total number of discipline incidents, total number of retained students, absenteeism, enrollment, average teacher experience, average administrator experience, principal gender, and principal tenure. Pearson correlation analyses indicated the following significant relationships: (a) student achievement with: number of discipline incidents (r=-.31), percentage of students on free and reduced lunch (r=-.29), school climate (r=.05); (b) school climate with: principals' instructional leadership (r=.76), interpersonal skills (r=.74), making decisions (r=.72), facilities planning and setting student behavior expectations (r=.73), evaluation implementation (r=.65), number of discipline incidents (r=-.26), number of retained students (r=.28), enrollment (r=-.26), percentage of students on free and reduced lunch (r=-.39). The results of regression indicated that (a) student achievement was inversely explained by the number of discipline incidents (beta=-.31), and not by any of the other variables; (b) number of discipline incidents was explained by school enrollment (beta=.65), percentage of students of five or fewer days absent (beta=-.54), student achievement (beta=-.33), percentage of students of more than 15 days absent (beta=-.18), total retained students (beta=.11), principal tenure (beta=.11), teacher experience (beta=.06) and free lunch status (beta=.06)

Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edward Larson to present UGA Charter Lecture
Athens, Ga. – Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and legal scholar Edward Larson will return to the University of Georgia to deliver a Charter Lecture titled “George Washington and America\u27s Second Revolution.”
The lecture, open free to the public, will be held April 23 at 11 a.m. in the Chapel.
Larson is University Professor of History and Darling Chair in Law at Pepperdine University. Focusing on the issues of law, science and politics from a historical perspective, he is the author of more than 100 articles and nine books, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Summer for the Gods: The Scopes Trial and America’s Continuing Debate Over Science and Religion.” His latest book, “The Return of George Washington: 1783-1789,” has reached The New York Times best-sellers list.
Larson taught at UGA for two decades, serving as chair of the history department as well as the Richard B. Russell Professor of American History and holder of the Herman E. Talmadge Chair of Law. In 1992, he received the Richard B. Russell Award for Undergraduate Teaching, the university’s highest early career teaching honor.
“Dr. Larson joins a long and distinguished line of Charter lecturers, and we are delighted to have him back on campus to share his insights on a pivotal moment in our nation’s history,” said Pamela Whitten, senior vice president for academic affairs and provost.
Larson has lectured on four continents and has served as a visiting professor of law at Stanford University and as a visiting professor teaching American constitutional law at the University of Melbourne. He has delivered endowed or named lectures at more than 40 colleges or universities and is interviewed frequently by broadcast and print media.
Larson was a resident scholar at the Rockefeller Foundation’s Bellagio Study Center in 1996; held the Fulbright Program’s John Adams Chair in American Studies for 2001; delivered the American Association for the Advancement of Science’s Sarton Award Lecture in 2000; participated in the National Science Foundation’s Antarctic Writers and Artists program in 2003 and 2004; served as an inaugural Fellow at the Fred W. Smith Library for the Study of George Washington at Mount Vernon in 2013 and 2014; and received an honorary doctorate from Ohio State University in 2004. From 2006 to 2009, he was a panelist on the National Institutes of Health’s Study Section for Ethical, Legal and Social Issues of the Human Genome Project.
UGA’s Charter Lecture Series was established in 1988 to honor the high ideals expressed in the 1785 charter that created UGA as the first chartered state university in America. The series, sponsored by the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost, brings to campus speakers who discuss ideas of general importance to a free society. Previous speakers have included James R. Clapper, U.S. director of national intelligence; award-winning journalist Charlayne Hunter-Gault; as well as poet laureates, scientists, medical experts, leading attorneys and religious leaders.

Disruption of the developmental programme of Trypanosoma brucei by genetic ablation of TbZFP1, a differentiation-enriched CCCH protein
No full textThe regulation of differentiation is particularly important in microbial eukaryotes that inhabit multiple environments. The parasite Trypanosoma brucei is an extreme example of this, requiring exquisite gene regulation during transmission from mammals to the tsetse fly vector. Unusually, trypanosomes rely almost exclusively on post-transcriptional mechanisms for regulated gene expression. Hence, RNA binding proteins are potentially of great significance in controlling stage-regulated processes. We have previously identified TbZFP1 as a trypanosome molecule transiently enriched during differentiation to tsetse midgut procyclic forms. This small protein (101 amino acids) contains the unusual CCCH zinc finger, an RNA binding motif. Here, we show that genetic ablation of TbZFP1 compromises repositioning of the mitochondrial genome, a specific event in the strictly regulated differentiation programme. Despite this, other events that occur both before and after this remain intact. Significantly, this phenotype correlates with the TbZFP1 expression profile during differentiation. This is the first genetic disruption of a developmental regulator in T. brucei. It demonstrates that programmed events in parasite development can be uncoupled at the molecular level. It also further supports the importance of CCCH proteins in key aspects of trypanosome cell function

No full text« Document numérisé pour l\u27ENSSIB » - L\u27auteur de ce document, Edward Edwards, fut l\u27un des instigateurs et défenseurs des " Free Town Libraries " (bibliothèques municipales publiques) en Grande-Bretagne au milieu du XIXe siècle. Son ouvrage s\u27inscrit dans un contexte historique important pour le pays, faisant suite aux " Libraries Acts " de 1850, instaurant les bibliothèques publiques dans les villes anglaises. Edwards fut d\u27ailleurs le premier bibliothécaire de la bibliothèque publique de Manchester. L\u27objectif de son livre est de servir de manuel quant à l\u27organisation de ce type de bibliothèque et de promouvoir celui-ci plus largement. Dans un second temps, il vise à comparer les différents systèmes mis en place dans quelques pays étrangers, spécialement la France, l\u27Allemagne et les États-Unis. Composé de quatre livres, l\u27ouvrage offre une étude comparative des diverses expériences menées et s\u27appuie sur les textes législatifs, notamment en ce qui concerne la Grande-Bretagne. Cette oeuvre est fondamentale pour l\u27historien s\u27intéressant au développement des bibliothèques publiques au XIXe siècle. Elle est complétée par de précieuses notices sur les grands collectionneurs européens et américains (qui forment le quatrième livre)
