C-H-A-N-G-E Framework: EPIC - Engaging Parents in Curriculum
No full textThe Parent Engagement C-H-A-N-G-E Framework (Willis & Exley, 2020) documents research-informed practices from Engaging Parents in Curriculum (EPIC) research for schools and teachers wishing to establish and sustain parent and community engagement in student learning. The framework comprises six interconnected themes: Connections, Home-school alignment, Agency, New and different roles, Generative collaboration, and Empathy. The C-H-A-N-G-E Framework can be used at the macro level of school processes and policies, the meso level of teaching and leadership teams, and the micro level of the classroom. Previous research (Willis & Exley, 2022; Willis, Exley, & Daffurn, 2021a) highlighted how the framework assists teachers and school leaders to integrate parent engagement in the design and delivery of curriculum.Full Tex
A closer look at the gap. A comment on Cooper and Willis' 'mind the gap' paper
No full textRecently, there has been a lively debate between Cooper and Willis (2001,2002,2003a, 2003b) and Caballero and Engel (2004) about the apropriateness of the so-called 'gap approach' to labor adjustment. Cooper and Willis claim that the gap approach is unable to identify non- convex adjustment costs because of a measurement error under the alternative hypothesis of convex costs. This comment assesses the validity of Cooper and Willis' claim by providing evidence from a number of Monte-Carlo experiments. In contrast to Cooper and Willis findings from single simulations, the experiments reveal no tendency to falsely reject the convex-cost hypothesis if one uses the correct one-sided test for non-convexities. In fact, the parameter estimates are typically biased against the hypothesis of non-convex costs. Consequently, there is no tendency to falsely reject although the estimates show substantial excess dispersion as a result of a spurious regression problem.Employment Adjustment, Non-Convex Adjustment Costs, Monte- Carlo Experiments

Letter re: Amon Carter, Jr.
No full textLetter from Willis G. Lipscomb to Amon Carter expressing sympathy at the news that his son, Amon, Jr., had been reported missing in action in North Africa.Ft. Worth March 12, 1943 My dear Mr. Carter - Ever since hearing the first report yesterday about your son, you have been very much on my mind, and I don't want to leave Ft. Worth without telling you how much I've been thinking of you the past twenty four hours. Amon, Jr. will, undoubtedly, turn up before long - as a prisoner of war, or after having lost communication with his outfit, but I pray that such good news will soon follow the shocking advice of yesterday. All of us in the New York office, just like your thousands of friends all over the country, will be with you in spirit, confident that everything is going to be all right. Sincerely yours - Willis G. Lipscom
