The document also notes debates around differentiating giftedness, genius, and talent emerged in the 18th century. It provides context on changing views in education around individualizing instruction to students' abilities.
This document analyzes a 6th grade mathematics module that incorporates Yup'ik culture and addresses goals of multicultural education. The module teaches concepts of proof, properties, perimeter, and area through having students model and analyze the construction of traditional Yup'ik fish racks. Analyzing the module shows how it connects mathematics learning to an authentic cultural activity, allowing Alaska Native students to learn in a culturally meaningful way while meeting state standards. Research found such culturally-based modules improved mathematics achievement for all students, especially Alaska Natives.

This article discusses the issue of college professors being stalked by students and provides recommendations to help prevent and address such situations. It notes that college environments can enable stalking behaviors among students. Professors are encouraged to maintain records of communications with students who become too attentive and to avoid private meetings or contact outside of school. The article also recommends that colleges implement clear policies prohibiting relationships between faculty and students to help prevent stalking and set boundaries.
This article argues that postmodernism can be used to improve educational practices and better serve students. It challenges the status quo in public schools by claiming that maintaining existing practices is easier and more cost effective but does not best serve students. The article advocates breaking rules and conventions to stimulate new ideas about how to reform educational systems and practices from a postmodern perspective in order to prioritize student needs.

Stress Research on Doctoral Programs by Priscilla Dawn JohnsonWilliam Kritsonis
This study explores the causes of stress and sources of healing for doctoral students in the Educational Leadership program at Prairie View A&M University. Through surveys of 28 students, the major findings were that stresses came from assignments, balancing work/family/school, time management, and fears of failing examinations or not completing their dissertation. Sources of healing included planning, exercise, religion, and social support from family, friends and professors. The study recommends that students increase personal reflection, set action plans, and build time management skills to help alleviate stress during their doctoral journey.
This article discusses strategies for utilizing the postmodern theoretical paradigm to close the achievement gap and increase student success. [1] It examines postmodern views of metaphysics, epistemology, axiology, futurism, constructivism, and the need for a diverse curriculum. [2] The postmodern paradigm believes that knowledge is constructed through social and cultural influences rather than being an objective truth. [3] Educational leaders must abandon old concepts and values and explore new strategies like those presented by Fenwick English to address the needs of all learners through curriculum and increase academic achievement.

This article discusses the issues and challenges faced by English Language Learners (ELLs) in public schools, particularly in Texas. It analyzes how standardized testing required by the No Child Left Behind Act has both positive and negative consequences, or "washback effects", for ELLs. While high-stakes testing is meant to improve outcomes for at-risk students like ELLs, it can also increase dropout rates, referrals to special education, and fail to account for the impact of student demographics on school performance rankings. The article calls for more data on both the intended and unintended consequences of standardized testing on ELLs and schools with large ELL populations.

Lunenburg, fred c[1]. sexual harassment an abuse of power ijmba v13 n1 2010William Kritsonis
This document summarizes a journal article about sexual harassment in the workplace. It defines sexual harassment as unwelcome sexual conduct that affects a person's job or creates a hostile environment. There are two main types: quid pro quo harassment, where job benefits are tied to sexual favors, and hostile environment harassment, involving offensive conduct that interferes with work. While quid pro quo is clearer, hostile environment is more subjective and open to interpretation. Sexual harassment negatively impacts victims' well-being and job performance, as well as the overall work environment. Managers must prevent these abuses of power to protect employees and the organization.
The document discusses the future of education in the United States. It notes that while difficult to predict, attempting to foresee future needs is important for proper preparation. Global issues like rising population, declining resources, and geopolitical tensions will impact education. Technological advances and changing demographics, like the slowing growth rate of the US population, will also influence education systems. The curriculum of the future will likely focus more on math, science, and technology to meet societal demands.

Two unique organizational communication systems are described: 1) a "Who has the Dean's Ear?" suggestion box program implemented at a university that received an average of 60 submissions per month over four years. Students received a personal response from the dean and many suggestions were implemented. 2) An "Express to the Top" employee feedback program created by a business to improve internal communication, where employees could submit questions and suggestions that reached the president. Both systems aimed to facilitate open communication and continuous improvement through approachable, responsive feedback channels.

Miles v. deutsche bank national trust company | find lawJustin Gluesing
This document summarizes a court case involving allegations of wrongful foreclosure. It discusses the plaintiff's claims that the loan servicer engaged in fraudulent behavior during loan modification negotiations, including changing the terms of agreements and demanding unnecessary fees. The court found that the plaintiff had adequately stated claims for breach of contract, fraud, and misrepresentation. It reversed the lower court's dismissal of these claims and the granting of summary judgment on the wrongful foreclosure claim, finding factual disputes remained. The court concluded the plaintiff may be entitled to damages beyond just the lost property value if the foreclosure was wrongful.
The Galveston Independent School District appealed the denial of its plea to the jurisdiction in a case brought by Brent Jaco under the Texas Whistleblower Act. Jaco, formerly the Director of Athletics for the District, reported a violation of a UIL residency rule by a student on the football team. As a result, the team was barred from the playoffs. Jaco was then reassigned and his positions were not renewed. He sued under the Whistleblower Act. The District argued the trial court lacked jurisdiction, but the Court of Appeals found the District failed to raise a jurisdictional issue as the Whistleblower Act waiver of immunity is broader than just the merits of the claim. The trial court's

Sulphur Moutain vs. John Redmond, et al - B238767jamesmaredmond
This document summarizes a court case involving a dispute over the sale of a home to satisfy an unpaid judgment. The plaintiff obtained a judgment against the defendants and sought to enforce it by selling their home. The defendants claimed a homestead exemption to protect part of the equity in their home. The trial court approved the sale of the home, finding the defendants could not claim the exemption again since they used it in a prior bankruptcy proceeding. The appellate court reversed, finding no basis for the plaintiff's argument that the homestead exemption can only be used once. The appellate court also found the plaintiff's lien on the property was effective as of 2002, not the later date determined by the trial court. The case was remanded for further proceedings consistent
Defendants filed special exceptions, a motion to dismiss, an answer, and requests for disclosure in response to a lawsuit filed by Plaintiffs Sam and Rhonda Jenkins. The document argues that Plaintiffs are not entitled to damages for mental anguish or loss of consortium because Texas law requires proof of physical harm, which is lacking in this case. It specially excepts to Plaintiffs' claim of mental anguish stemming from economic losses, and moves to dismiss their loss of consortium claim for the same reason. Defendants generally deny Plaintiffs' allegations and request Plaintiffs prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence.

Court Case 3
1. Case One
Court of Appeals of Texas,
San Antonio.
NORTH EAST INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT, Appellant,
v.
John KELLEY, Appellee
No. 04-08-00162-CV.
LITIGANTS
Plaintiff’s-Appellant: John Kelly
Defendant-Appellees: North East Independent School District
BACKGROUND
Former school teacher filed suit against school district asserting claims for breach
of contract, quantum meriut, declaratory relief, and injunctive relief, after Commissioner
of Education denied his grievance seeking an additional day's pay. School district filed
plea to the jurisdiction, and parties filed competing motions for summary judgment. The
County Court at Law No. 7, Bexar County, David Rodriguez, J., granted summary
judgment to teacher. District appealed.
FACTS
Kelley was employed by the District pursuant to a written one-year probationary
contract. The contract provided that Kelley would be employed "on a 10-month basis for
the school year 2000-01, according to the hours and dates set by the district as they exist
or may hereafter be amended." The District adopted a teacher salary schedule that was
based on 187 working days and a work schedule that required teachers to work 187 days
during the 2000-2001 school year. The District required Kelley to attend a graduation
ceremony in addition to the 187 days he was required to work. Kelley filed a grievance
seeking an additional day's pay and appealed the District's decision to the Commissioner
of Education.
The Commissioner of Education concluded that Kelley's contract required him
*444 to work only 187 days; therefore, the contract did not require Kelley to work an
additional day by attending the graduation ceremony. The Commissioner also concluded,
however, that the District did not violate the contract by requiring Kelley to work an
additional day; instead, Kelley's claim would be a claim for quantum meruit over which
the Commissioner had no jurisdiction. Therefore, the Commissioner dismissed the appeal
for lack of jurisdiction.
2. Kelley then proceeded on two fronts. First, Kelley filed the underlying lawsuit in
Bexar County alleging claims for breach of contract, quantum meruit, declaratory relief,
and injunctive relief and requesting attorney's fees and costs. Kelley also filed an
administrative appeal of the Commissioner's decision in Travis County.
In the Bexar County lawsuit, the District filed a plea to the jurisdiction. The
parties also filed competing motions for summary judgment. The district court in Travis
County abated its case pending the outcome of the Bexar County lawsuit. The trial court
in Bexar County subsequently granted summary judgment in favor of Kelley, awarding
him: (1) damages for his breach of contract claim; (2) declaratory relief that the District
violated the contract; and (3) injunctive relief prohibiting the District from "illegal
conduct (as occurred in this case) in the future." The Bexar County trial court also
awarded Kelley attorney's fees and costs.
DECISION
The District contends that required Kelley to appeal the Commissioner's decision
to a district court in Travis County; therefore, the Bexar County court did not have
jurisdiction to consider Kelley's breach of contract claim. See Section 7.057(d) provides:
A person aggrieved by an action of the agency or decision of the commissioner may
appeal to the district court in Travis County. Kelley responds that the Bexar County court
had jurisdiction because the Commissioner dismissed his appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
Kelley's assertion ignores the basis for the dismissal by the Commissioner as stated in the
Commissioner's written decision. The Commissioner dismissed the appeal based on his
conclusion that the only claim available to Kelley was a quantum meruit claim. Any
complaint by Kelley that he had viable breach of contract claim had to be appealed to the
district court in Travis County pursuant to section 7.057. No other court had jurisdiction
to *445 consider the breach of contract claim. Similarly, a declaratory judgment action
seeking to determine whether the District's actions violated the contract could not be
brought in Bexar County because such a claim challenges the Commissioner's decision
that no such complaint existed Because the Bexar County court was without jurisdiction
to consider Kelley's breach of contract and declaratory judgment claims, it also was
without jurisdiction to award Kelley attorney's fees based on the judgment it entered on
those claims.
DICTA
Kelley contends that because he pled a quantum meruit claim in the alternative,
we can affirm the trial court's judgment on that basis. A party may recover under quantum
meruit only when there is no express contract covering the services rendered.
Accordingly, the trial court necessarily rejected the quantum meruit claim in
granting relief on the breach of contract claim. Because the existence of Kelley's quantum
meruit claim hinges on the non-existence of his breach of contract claim, and his breach
of contract claim is within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Commissioner under appeal in
Travis County, the Bexar County trial court was required to abate that claim until the
3. appeal of the administrative proceedings was concluded.
IMPLICATIONS
The trial court's judgment is reversed. Kelley's claims for breach of contract and
declaratory judgment are dismissed. The *446 cause is remanded to the trial court with
instructions to abate its proceedings with regard to Kelley's quantum meruit and
injunction claims pending the final resolution of Kelley's appeal of the Commissioner's
decision in Travis County.
