Paper #1 SCHOOL DROPOUTS
Some statistics about student dropouts follow. The task is to decide what you would do to keep students in schools. In other words, what can be done to improve these statistics?
The national dropout rate is between 25 and 30 percent of students. The typical high school graduation includes only 70 percent of its ninth-grade class members. One result is that approximately one-third of the adult population is functionally illiterate.
States with the lowest dropout rates:
North Dakota
Minnesota
Delaware
Iowa
South Dakota
States with the highest dropout rates:
Louisiana
Florida
Nevada
Mississippi
Tennessee
Georgia
It is possible to spot regional differences in dropout rates, but even more noticeable is the effect of family economics on dropout statistics.
Are there differences by ethnic groups within these statistics?

CHILDERN AND ANXIETY
CHILDREN AND ANXIETY
The prevalence of anxiety disorders among children seems to be on the rise. Children are being treated for obsessive-compulsive disorder, for post-traumatic stress syndrome, and generalized anxiety disorders. Some authors have suggested that the world is a far more frightening and stressful place for children now than in previous generations. Recent historical events, such as the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, the war in Iraq, and similar events that receive heavy media coverage, may present children with things to think about that previous generations did not experience. In addition, children are exposed to many more graphic images of violence and victimization in their media. These factors, plus the fact that their parents, teachers, and caregivers are also experiencing stressors, might contribute to children’s anxiety.
What did you fear as a child? What things might children fear? Consider the definition of .

To be certain you understand how courts are organized in other states, you must research at least three current state court systems, within the United States, and use those systems to create Puerto Rico’s system. Do not use Puerto Rico’s current system as one of your examples. You must describe your proposal for creating Puerto Rico’s municipal courts, major trial courts, appellate courts, and the state’s highest court. Include geographic jurisdictions.
You must also describe how judges will be chosen for each court and must discuss how judicial and attorney ethical standards will be structured and enforced. You should conduct basic research on Puerto Rico (size, geography, population, existing counties or municipios, etc.) to be certain your proposed system will actually work.
Remember to provide citations when you borrow some idea or structure from another state.

You must complete an Electronic Presentation on Black Culture.docxdavezstarr61655
You must complete an
Electronic Presentation on Black Culture
. You will select and present on the significances of two works of black culture. The first work you select must be a work of African-American literature, poetry, music, fashion, dance, or some other cultural art form that was created and/or popularized by an
African American
during the time periods of the Harlem and Chicago Renaissances (1917-1949). Your second work of black culture must have been created and/or popularized by a black person (but not necessarily an African American) within YOUR lifetime. For example, if you were born in 1999, your second cultural selection needs to have been created by a black person between 1999 and the present. The two works you select to present do not have to share a cultural form (i.e. one work can be a poem and the other can be a song; one work can be a painting and the other can be a fashion trend). Nor do the two works have to share a particular theme. You may choose to do a compare-and-contrast type presentation. But, you do not have to. In presenting the works, you will need to provide background information on your chosen works (i.e. when where the works created; who created them or made them famous; and, what impact did the works have on the cultural landscape when and since they first appeared?). You will also have to briefly explain why you made those particular selections, and explain what you think each work tells people about the ways in which African-American/Black culture and experiences remained congruent and/or changed from the eras of the Harlem and Chicago Renaissances to the modern era. Moreover, your Electronic Presentation on Black Culture must be creative in both style and substance.
Your Electronic Presentation should have a run time of 7-10 minutes.
And, it must contain both audio and visual components.
When delivering your Electronic Presentation, you will serve as the professor for the class. So, give a Presentation that your temporary students (i.e. your classmates and Dr. Brown) will find to be both impressive and informative. The more creative, interesting, organized, and informative your Presentation is, the higher your grade will be. If your Presentation is disorganized, bland, lacks imagination, or does little more than echo information and ideas that have already been presented through the course texts, media, and PowerPoint lectures, you should not expect to earn a stellar grade on it.
Your presentation should add information, details, and/or perspectives that we did not cover in class. As such, I strongly recommend that you research and select cultural works that we did not discuss in class. In other words, avoid selecting a poem by Langston Hughes or a song we covered in class. Be more creative. Do more research. And, you should use and cite outside sources for the Electronic Presentation.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

9. Surrealism
(c. 1925-45)
definition: Breton’s First Manifesto of Surrealism
(1924)“Surrealism rests in the belief in the superior reality of
certain forms of association neglected heretofore; in the
omnipotence of the dream”
definition: Breton’s Second Manifesto of Surrealism (1930)“…
a certain state of mind from which life and death, the real and
the imaginary, past and future, the communicable and the
incommunicable, height and depth, are no longer perceived as
contradictory”

révolution (1930-33)process: “pure psychic automatism”high
degree of immediate absurdity“a monologue poured out as
rapidly as possible, over which the subject's critical faculty has
no control”“The dictation of thought, in the absence of all
control by reason, excluding any aesthetic or moral
preoccupation”
10. Surrealismcontext: Freud’s The Interpretation of Dreams
(1899)Surrealists preoccupied w/ F’s methods of
unconscious to resolve a conflict, whether something recent or
something from the recesses of the past unconscious must
distort and warp meaning of its information to make it through
censorship of preconsciousimages in dreams are often not what
appear to be and need deeper interpretation if they are to inform
one symbol or image may have multiple meanings

“Pointillism" systematic application of isolated, tiny dots
(pixels) of pure color to canvas subtle differences in size,
thickness and direction when viewed from a distance, dots
cannot be distinguishedblend in viewer's eye (rather than
mixing color on the palette) to produce a coherent image effect:
vibrantbrighter or more luminous generates different range of
colors, when compared to artists using traditional color-mixing
and lighting techniques (e.g., chiaroscuro)themes: scenes of
everyday life (see Baudelaire)exhibition history: first exhibited

proletarian life; what mattered was simply that I found it
beautiful."

Fauvism
(French Expressionism)
Fauvism
(c. 1904-07)principal artists: Matisse, Derain, Vlaminck,
Dufydefinition: “the wild beasts” pejorative label coined by
critic Louis Vauxcelles anything but an opponent general tone
far from unfavorable; emphasized his close association w/
artistsdemise: Cezanne retrospective 1907 presented at Salon
d’Automne changed emphasis to concern w/ form over
colorcontext: Anarchismdefinition: political theory that aims to
create a society w/out political, economic or social
hierarchiesaim: to oppose government &
capitalismmethodology: critiques current society, while at same
time offers vision of potential new
societyFauves:purely artistic radicalismsubject matter does not
approach urban & labor issues color as “sticks of dynamite”
(Derain)
Henri Matisse
(1869-1954)training: student of Redonclosely studied work of
Manet and Cezannebought a small Cézanne Bathers in
1899became interested in Divisionism (c. 1904) became friends
w/ Signac & painted w/ him @ St. Tropez role: leader of
Fauves (“The Wild Beasts”)tendency: Romantic tradition aim:
expressiveness of colormotto: art as being like “a good
70. armchair”“Instinct … thwarted just as one prunes the branches
of a tree so that it will grow better”
Matisseinfluence of Signac:subject: pastoral & classical
landscapes (c. 1890s)in decades before 1880, avant-garde
painters rarely depicted France’s southern shore due, in part, to
cultural affiliation between southern France and academic
classicismlinked w/ cultural and political conservatism
represent anarchist ideal of natural order and harmony that
would be found in golden age to comeradicalizes seemingly
innocuous depictionsMatisse’s Luxe, calm et volupte (1904-
05)title inspired by Baudelaire’s “L’invitation al
Voyage”dreamy idyll of languorous nudes far less specified by
time, place or politics“mixed” brushwork & completely
arbitrary use of color condemned as a lifeless theory of
paintingmore belligerent critics recommended Matisse exile
himself to “land of the Bushmen,” where he’d surely be “taken
for a master”

Dadaaim: destruction of bourgeois values in art and society
credo: “Everything the artist spits is art”
significance: first art movement to turn avant-garde weapons of
confrontation & contradiction
against itself
aesthetic: nihilistic & iconoclasticno formal aesthetic no use for
the person of “sensibility” to take refuge in beauty to attack the
icons of the old culture
methods: a kind of “anti-art”iconoclastic attitude toward
traditionexalts commonplace objects, by taking them out of

Cubism
ART HISTORY 132
*
Cubismleaders: developed by Pablo Picasso and Georges
Braque (c. 1907)
definition: “The art of painting original arrangements
composed of elements taken from conceived rather than
perceived reality.”
-- Guillaume Apollinaire, The Beginnings of Cubism
(1912)
significance: marks a rupture w/ European traditions traceable
to Renaissance of pictorial illusionism and organization
of compositional space in terms of linear perspective
technique: breaks down subjects into geometric facets,
84. showing several different aspects of one object
simultaneously
context: physicsEinstein’s Theory of Special Relativity (1905)
reinterprets classical principle of relativityidea that we can
formulate rules of nature which do not depend on our particular
observing situation quantities such as length and time must
change from one observer to another
