Teacher formative assessment: the missing link in response to intervention
Response to Intervention (RtI) focuses on the assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring of student academic performance and social behavior. Despite requiring highly-qualified personnel for successful implementation, the implementation of Rtl has not focused on applying its foundational principles towards promoting teacher effectiveness through assessment, intervention, and progress monitoring of teacher classroom practice. Compounding this problem is the lack of availability of reliable and valid teacher assessments to apply in an Rtl model for teacher professional development. This chapter provides a rationale for applying RtI principles to teacher professional development and how teacher formative assessment can improve educator effectiveness, student learning, and social behaviors. The Classroom Strategies Scale (CSS, Reddy & Dudek, 2014), a new multidimensional assessment of instructional and behavioral management practices is discussed as an example of one promising tool for promoting teachers professional development within an Rtl model. We offer a synthesis of the theory, research, and evidence of reliability and validity of the CSS. The application of teacher formative assessment in job-embedded professional development/coaching models for schools is discussed. Finally, implications for practice and research are outlined.Peer reviewe
MARKETING SHARE, MARKETING EFFICIENCY, MARKETING MARGIN, PRICE SPREAD OF TOMATO MARKETING CHANNELS IN RANGA REDDY DISTRICT, TELANGANA
The present study on Study On Marketing Of Tomato In Ranga Reddy District Telangana was carried out during the session2022-2023. The Descriptive research design was used in this study. Over all 100 respondents were selected by using random sampling method. The data were collected by personally interviewing the respondents with the help of structured questionnaire schedule. The data collected were carefully examined, classified, quantified, and tabulated. Frequencies, mean, standard deviation, percentage formula, marketing margin and cost of marketing were employed for interpreting the results. Marketing of tomato were estimated at grower level, during transportation, storage, wholesale, and retail trader level. This research is done to study the socio-economic conditions of farmers, marketing of mango in different stages, To identify the marketing channels, marketing cost, marketing efficiency, marketing share, marketing margin for tomato and the study was mainly aims to examine the constraints in marketing and suggest suitable measures to the farmers in the study area. The Producer who sold Tomato through the channel-I (Producer - Consumer) realized the highest share (87.66%) in consumer rupee as compared to other channels indicating the efficiency of channel compared to other channels. Small scale Tomato processing industry is growing significantly in Ranga Reddy district (3.82%) in terms of production and sale indicating potential opportunity for establishment of small-scale industries in district. Modem market infrastructure may be built in the regulated markets by the Telangana Board/State Government. Regular power supply may be ensured to the cold stores particularly in the summer months. The State/Union Government may provide financial/technical/logistic support to the tomato growers for cooperative/group marketing. Erratic electricity supply should be corrected so that farmers can adequately irrigate Tomato crop. The problem of shortage of labour can be countered by popularizing manually operating Tomato transplanted. Quality control of insecticide/pesticide should be ensured in the market so that farmers get quality products. The malpractices in the market should also be checked so that farmers get fair deal. Processing facilities should be developed
An introduction to continuum mechanics / J.N. Reddy.
engineering bookfair2015Includes bibliographical references and index.xxvi, 450 pages :"This best-selling textbook presents the concepts of continuum mechanics in a simple yet rigorous manner. The book introduces the invariant form as well as the component form of the basic equations and their applications to problems in elasticity, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer, and offers a brief introduction to linear viscoelasticity. The book is ideal for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students looking to gain a strong background in the basic principles common to all major engineering fields, and for those who will pursue further work in fluid dynamics, elasticity, plates and shells, viscoelasticity, plasticity, and interdisciplinary areas such as geomechanics, biomechanics, mechanobiology, and nanoscience. The book features derivations of the basic equations of mechanics in invariant (vector and tensor) form and specification of the governing equations to various coordinate systems, and numerous illustrative examples, chapter summaries, and exercise problems. This second edition includes additional explanations, examples, and problems"-
Advancing instructional coaching with teacher formative assessment and input
With increased attention to teacher quality and accountability, instructional coaching has emerged as a popular form of teacher support and professional development in literacy and other areas of instruction. Despite significant interest from school personnel, researchers, and federal funders, there remains a lack of consensus around the key components and activities of instructional coaching. To that end, studies that use quantitative and qualitative methods can offer valuable information on the development and validation of coaching practices. This chapter briefly describes the Classroom Strategies Assessment System Coaching Model that draws on the adult learning and formative assessment literature. We offer key observations of educators' knowledge of and experience in instructional coaching from focus groups conducted with teachers in high-poverty, urban elementary schools. Directions for practice and research are discussed.Peer reviewe
Service-oriented models for audiovisual content storage
What are the important topics to understand if involved with storage services to hold digital audiovisual content? This report takes a look at how content is created and moves into and out of storage; the storage service value networks and architectures found now and expected in the future; what sort of data transfer is expected to and from an audiovisual archive; what transfer protocols to use; and a summary of security and interface issues
Synthesis, Structural Elucidation and Bioassay of Morpholine/Thiomorpholine and Piperidine Containing Oxazoles
The series of novel oxazole derivatives (3-4) have been synthesized. All the entitles compounds were characterized by IR, 1H, 13C NMR, mass spectra. All the lead compounds were tested for antimicrobial activity. The compound 4f having chloro substituent on the aromatic ring displays greater antimicrobial activity particularly against P. aeruginosa and P. crysogenum. © 2020 Author(s).The authors G. Sravya and N. Bakkthavatchala Reddy are thankful to Ural Federal University, Yekaterinburg, Russia for giving postdoctoral fellowship

Female employment in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India and its two most urbanized districts (Ranga Reddy and Hyderabad): a 1991 census analysis, 1998
This research examined the relationship of female employment with three major contributing factors: ecological, motivational, and personal ability factors, in the state of Andhra Pradesh and its two highly urbanized districts (Ranga Reddy and Hyderabad). The 1991 census data were utilized as a major source. Specifically, the study tested the following six hypotheses: 1. Female work force participation rates vary by rural-urban residence, industrial categories, and National Industrial Classification (NIC). 2. Differential female work force participation rates can be observed by class of worker and occupational type. 3. Female workers vary by their educational attainment, age, and marital status. 4. The growth rate of female work force participation is significantly effected by change in industrial structure, time-period, and rural-urban residence over a period of time. 5. Female employment, especially in non-agricultural and non-household sectors, is significantly effected by education and urbanization, independently as well as combined. 6. The structure of female employment is the same between the state of Andhra Pradesh and its districts, Ranga Reddy and Hyderabad, but the size of participation may vary. The results of the data analysis confirmed all hypotheses
