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
Effective Willis constitutive equations for periodically stratified anisotropic elastic media
No full textA method to derive homogeneous effective constitutive equations for periodically layered elastic media is proposed. The crucial and novel idea underlying the procedure is that the coefficients of the dynamic effective medium can be associated with the matrix logarithm of the propagator over a unit period. The effective homogeneous equations are shown to have the structure of a Willis material, characterized by anisotropic inertia and coupling between momentum and strain, in addition to effective elastic constants. Expressions are presented for the Willis material parameters which are formally valid at any frequency and horizontal wavenumber as long as the matrix logarithm is well defined. The general theory is exemplified for scalar SH motion. Low frequency, long wavelength expansions of the effective material parameters are also developed using a Magnus series and explicit estimates for the rate of convergence are derived.Peer reviewedReceived July 22, 2010; accepted December 15, 2010; published online April 21, 2011.

Sketches at Home and Abroad: A Critical Edition of Selections from the Writings of Nathaniel Parker Willis
No full textCritics and general readers highly regarded the poetry and prose of Nathaniel Parker Willis (18061867) during the American Renaissance of creative literature in the decades before the Civil War. As an editor and frequent contributor to one of the young nation\u27s most successful and elegant literary magazines, The New-York Mirror, Willis achieved an international reputation for his witty and worldly tales and letters.
This new edition collects outstanding examples of Willis\u27s short fiction written at the peak of his abilities. These tales of adventure embellish and improve Willis\u27s own experience as a bachelor adventurer during the 1830s, relating, for example, the comical to harrowing experience of American stagecoach and international sea travel of the era. Several tales of courtship and romance, set at Saratoga and other resort towns, show the charm and wit that made Willis so popular with nineteenth-century readers. Good examples of Willis\u27s horror stories, written in a style that we associate today with Edgar Allan Poe, can also be found in this essential collection.
This scholarly edition of important short fiction by N. P. Willis includes a general introduction as well as many short essays describing literary and historical contexts that provide information for the contemporary reader.https://ideaexchange.uakron.edu/uapress_publications/1132/thumbnail.jp
"Turn around, Queen, look at yourself": A Look at Eunice N. Finch as Mrs. Willis in Coming of Age in Mississippi
No full textCopyright (c) 2018 by Roscoe Barnes III#AnneMoodyThis article presents new information on Mrs. Willis of Willis High School in Anne Moody's, Coming of Age in Mississippi. The author contends that Mrs. Willis was actually Eunice N. Finch, whose husband, Anselm J. Finch, served as principal of Finch High School, aka Willis High, in Centreville, Miss. Moody changed the names of many people -- and a few places --in her book.#ComingOfAgeinMississippi</div
