Received: April 14, 2012; Revised: September 3, 2012
This paper reports the effects of annealing and age hardening heat treatments on the microstructural
morphology and mechanical properties of 7075 Al alloy. The material was cast in the form of round
cylindrical rods inside green sand mould from where some samples were rapidly cooled by early
knockout and others gradually cooled to room temperature. From the samples that were gradually
cooled some were annealed while others were age hardened. Both the as-cast in each category and
heat treated samples were subjected to some mechanical tests and the morphology of the resulting
microstructures were characterised by optical microscopy. From the results obtained there is formation
of microsegregations of MgZn

during gradual solidification which was not present during rapid
cooling. It was also found out that age hardening and annealing heat treatment operation eliminated
these microsegregations and improve mechanical properties of 7075 Al alloy. It is concluded that
microsegregation can be eliminated by rapid solidification and appropriate heat treatment process.

1. Introduction
Aluminium and its alloys are used in a variety of cast and
wrought forms and conditions of heat treatment. For over
70 years, it ranks next to iron and steel in the metal market.
The demand for aluminium grows rapidly because of its
unique combination of properties which makes it becomes
one of the most versatile of engineering and construction
material1-3.
The optimum properties of aluminium are achieved by
alloying additions and heat treatments. This promotes the
formation of small hard precipitates which interfere with
the motion of dislocations and improve its mechanical
properties4-7. One of the most commonly used aluminium
alloy for structural applications is 7075 Al alloy due to its
attractive comprehensive properties such as low density, high
strength, ductility, toughness and resistance to fatigue8-11. It
has been extensively utilized in aircraft structural parts and
other highly stressed structural applications12-16.
But aluminium-zinc alloy as it is in 7075 Al alloy is
susceptible to embrittlement because of microsegregation
of MgZn

precipitates which may lead to catastrophic
failure of components produced from it17,18. The alloy is also
susceptibility to stress corrosion cracking19,20. This is .

E-Government and Creating a
Citizen-Centric Government:
A Study of Federal Government CIOs
Christopher G. Reddick, The University of Texas at San Antonio, USA
Abstract
This chapter examines the relationship between e-government and the creation of a more
citizen-centric government. This study provides a conceptual framework showing a possible
relationship among management, resources, security, and privacy issues that would lead
to creating a more citizen-centric government with e-government. It explores the opinions
of chief information officers (CIOs) on e-government issues and effectiveness. A survey
was administered to federal government CIOs in June and July 2005. The survey results
revealed that CIOs who have higher management capacity and project-management skills
were associated more with creating a more citizen-centric federal government. The contri-
bution of this study to the literature on e-government is that it identifies two key attributes
that CIOs can attain in order to reach higher stages of e-government advancement for their
department or agency.

Introduction
Electronic government or e-government in this study is defined as the delivery of govern-
ment information and services to citizens through the Internet 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
This definition has been used in other empirical studies of e-government adoption (Moon &
Norris, 2005a). This research adds to this definition with Grant and Chau’s (2005) interpre-
tation of e-government as a broad-based transformative initiative, which is consistent with
creating more citizen-centric government. Gronlund (2005) reviews the various definitions
of e-government. That author has found they share a common theme of the need for organi-
zational transformation through technological implementation. We realize that focusing on
the Internet and e-government is a more limited way of examining e-government because
of the rise of non-Internet technologies (Gronlund & Horan, 2004).
Citizen-centric government is the delivery of government services continuously to citizens,
businesses, and other government agencies through the Internet (Seifert & Relyea, 2004).
Citizen-centric government through e-government acts more as a transformation tool that
provides a new government model based on being citizen focused (Schelin, 2003). Some
scholars have argued that for e-government to fully realize its capabilities, it must transform
government from agency centric to citizen centric (Seifert & Relyea).
The term e-government emerged in the late 1990s. It was born out of the Internet boom. The

Five Stages of Negotiating
All negotiations are different. Simple negotiations, such as choosing which movie to rent, need not require an extensive negotiation process. However, when negotiations involve significant or complex issues, you should consider using the five-stage process model
Negotiating consists of five stages: (1) preparation and planning, (2) defining ground rules, (3) clarifying and justifying your case, (4) bargaining and problem solving, and (5) closure and implementation.
These stages are described below. 1. Preparation and planning. Without question, preparation and planning are the keys to successful deal making. While some may think they can negotiate effectively “on the fly,” all negotiators benefit from thorough advance thought and preparation. Be clear about what you want and why. Gather data to support your position. Consider ways to present your arguments persuasively. Consider what the other party wants and why.
2. Definition of ground rules. Determining your own guidelines or rules for the negotiation helps you plan a strategy that can be successful. Establish who will or should be present and at what part of the negotiation. Decide where the meeting will be held and offer a possible agenda for how the time will be allocated and for which issues. The location has implications in terms of who’s in charge. While there may be a benefit to having the negotiation at your office—the home court advantage—agreeing to have the negotiation at the other party’s office might show flexibility and willingness to negotiate on your part. When the topic covered is potentially divisive or difficult, a neutral location might help level the playing field for both parties—an important consideration when an integrative solution is desired.
3. Clarification and justification. As the negotiation begins, state what you want and why. A key issue here is the difference between positions and interests. A position is a stance—typically a firm one—taken by a negotiator. “I’ll give you $4,500 and that’s my final offer.” An interest is the explanation behind the position, need, or desire that expresses why a negotiator wants what he or she wants. “I’m asking for $5,000 because the car has low miles, an u.

Dylan Rodríguez ends his essay with the following questions:
How has the state-structured influx of Asian and Pacific Rim migrant populations, and the subsequent emergence of contemporary Asian American communities, helped to further displace criminalized Black and Brown populations and amplify what Marable calls the ‘‘subtle apocalypse’’ of mass-based civic death?
How might the 1965 Immigration Act be re-narrated such that it is understood less as an ambivalent emblem of opportunity, liberal democracy, and freedom, and more as a fundamental facet of an American movement toward new forms of mass-based captivity and bodily immobilization, that is, as the harbinger of new forms of ‘‘unfreedom’’ as primary modes of social organization under the logic of white supremacist global capital?
Will it be possible to muster the intellectual creativity and political will to articulate a rupturing critique of the field’s operative structural, political, and theoretical assumptions, in order to develop a radical critique of the prison industrial complex that may fundamentally alter Asian American Studies (and Ethnic Studies) as attempted practices of social transformation?
Choose one of these questions, and give a preliminary answer. Do not worry if your answer is incomplete. It will be. That is fine. Do your best.

When I first told my mother—a liberal, secular New Yorker—that I wanted to cross
an ocean to study for a bachelor’s degree in theology, she was equal parts aghast
and concerned. Was I going to become a nun, she asked in horror, or else one of
“those” wingnuts who picketed outside abortion clinics? Was I going to spend
hours in the Bodleian Library agonizing over the number of angels that could fit on
the head of a pin? Theology, she insisted, was a subject by the devout, for the
devout; it had no place in a typical liberal arts education.
Her view of the study of theology is far from uncommon. While elite universities
like Harvard and Yale offer vocational courses at their divinity schools, and nearly
all universities offer undergraduate majors in the comparative study of religions,

Georgetown and Boston College) offer theology as a major, let alone mandate
courses in theology alongside other “core” liberal arts subjects like English or
history. Indeed, the study of theology has often run afoul of the legal separation of
church and state. Thirty-seven U.S. states have laws limiting the spending of public
funds on religious training. In 2006, the Supreme Court case Locke v. Davey upheld
the decision of a Washington State scholarship program to withhold promised
funding from an otherwise qualified student after learning that he had decided to
major in theology at a local Bible College.
Even in the United Kingdom, where secular bachelor's programs in theology are
more common, prominent New Atheists like Richard Dawkins have questioned
their validity in the university sphere. In a 2007 letter to the editor of The
Independent, Dawkins argues for the abolishment of theology in academia,
insisting that “a positive case now needs to be made that [theology] has any real
content at all, or that it has any place whatsoever in today's university culture.”
Such a shift, of course, is relatively recent in the history of secondary education.
Several of the great Medieval universities, among them Oxford, Bologna, and
Paris, developed in large part as training grounds for men of the Church. Theology,
far from being anathema to the academic life, was indeed its central purpose: It
was the “Queen of the Sciences” the field of inquiry which gave meaning to all
others. So, too, several of the great American universities. Harvard, Yale, and
Princeton alike were founded with the express purpose of teaching theology—one
early anonymous account of Harvard's founding speaks of Joh.

Abstract
Objective This review investigated the effect of the various models of nursing care delivery using the diverse levels
of nurses on patient and nursing outcomes.
Methods All published studies that investigated patient and nursing outcomes were considered. Studies were
included if the nursing delivery models only included nurses with varying skill levels. A literature search was
performed using the following databases: Medline (1985–2011), CINAHL (1985–2011), EMBASE (1985 to current)
and the Cochrane Controlled Studies Register (Issue 3, 2011 of Cochrane Library). In addition, the reference lists of
relevant studies and conference proceedings were also scrutinised. Two reviewers independently assessed the
eligibility of the studies for inclusion in the review, the methodological quality and extracted details of eligible studies.
Data were analysed using the RevMan software (Nordic Cochrane Centre, Copenhagen, Denmark).
Results Fourteen studies were included in this review. The results reveal that implementation of the team nursing
model of care resulted in significantly decreased incidence of medication errors and adverse intravenous outcomes,
as well as lower pain scores among patients; however, there was no effect of this model of care on the incidence of
falls. Wards that used a hybrid model demonstrated significant improvement in quality of patient care, but no
difference in incidence of pressure areas or infection rates. There were no significant differences in nursing outcomes
relating to role clarity, job satisfaction and nurse absenteeism rates between any of the models of care.
Conclusions Based on the available evidence, a predominance of team nursing within the comparisons is
suggestive of its popularity. Patient outcomes, nurse satisfaction, absenteeism and role clarity/confusion did not differ
across model comparisons. Little benefit was found within primary nursing comparisons and the cost effectiveness
of team nursing over other models remains debatable. Nonetheless, team nursing does present a better model for
inexperienced staff to develop, a key aspect in units where skill mix or experience is diverse.

During
Week 5, we studied social stratification and how it influences what goes on in many social interactions among people. After you have read the reading assignment and lecture for this week, please respond to all parts of the discussion by the due date assigned:
What are some of the factors that affect social mobility? Can these be overcome?
Do you believe the structural-functionalist or the social conflict approach best explains social stratification? Why?
How does the media reflect attitudes on gender as far as depicting women and men in very traditional roles? Provide two detailed examples that substantiate your points—these can be an advertisement, television show, website, or magazine.
When you think of various groups (race, class, and gender) in society, which ones have the most power and which ones have the least? Using Intersection Theory, identify two groups that have unequal amounts of power and resources, being specific and using the text and outside resources. For each group, has the power dynamic changed over time? Do you think it will change in the future? Why or why not?

San Pedro is one of the busiest ports in the United States. Environmental justice activists are gaining influence, taking on the San Pedro Bay ports over contamination of the neighborhoods along transportation corridors. Soot and nitrogen oxides from ships, trains, and trucks are linked to asthma, cancer, and heart disease. Last year, 5,339 ships docked at the two ports. The new rules are forcing ships to switch to low-sulfur fuel within 24 miles of the coast and to plug into electrical outlets while they are docked. The ports pledge to cut pollution by 45% by 2012.

Lobbying and Advocacy
Based on what you have read this week describe the difference between lobbying and advocacy. Discuss an issue that you strongly believe should be advocated for in your field or by your discipline or community.
What data or evidence would you provide to your Congressperson, Senator or Community representative if you were going to lobby or advocate on behalf of that issue?
Analyze the role a human service provider plays in influencing policy decisions on a Federal, State and/or local level.
HUM5300 Week 1 Instructor Guidance
Throughout this course you will get a broad overview of the laws and regulations that govern human services disciplines. Some of you will be pursuing social services which are governed by county laws and regulations which typically stem from federal regulations. Some of you will be pursuing non-profit work which also has a different degree of governing and bylaws. We will explore how they govern and change from a state to state level and national level. In this first week, “It all begins with policy” you will gain an understanding of the foundation on which human services derives. Building upon this foundation is an understanding of the process of legislative and community advocacy: a process where human service and professional organizations engage in lobbying efforts to encourage action on current issues affecting the provision of services, consumer rights, or professional autonomy. Some of you may be able to relate it to work or agencies you are currently employed in or be able to understand how it relates to areas you wish to pursue once your degree is completed.
There is no written assignment for the first week (don’t worry, there will definitely be some coming!) so I encourage you to put critical thought and perspective into your discussion post and your replies to your classmates. Your discussion for this week will center on lobbying and advocacy which you will find is a major component in human services work.

The Recipe (Instructions):
Give the
analytical
definition of "mayonnaise." It's easier than you might think, but search the Internet!
Describe the latitude in the types of products that can count as mayonnaise in light of this analysis of what mayonnaise is. In doing this, use the language of
necessary and sufficient conditions
. Give examples if you can. (To be clear, I am assessing for whether you understand the role that necessary conditions, and sufficient conditions, play in the role of giving an analysis of a definiendum.)
Create your own
neologism
and write it into your response

Do

include its definition. A fun way to do this is to think in terms of
portmanteaus
. Portmanteaus are single words that are the result of fusing portions of two others. For example (this is my example, so make up your own - we want 100% individual originality here!), consider a

While you won't be giving us the definition of your own neologism right away, I will spill the beans - metaphorically speaking - about what I mean by mine: It's a really thick belt that I am also able to use to provide me with shade. So: shade + belt = shelt. There's my neologism! (That took about 10 seconds to come up with. Do you think I could market these?!)
Explain the strengths and weaknesses of
stipulative definitions

___________________________________________________________________________________
information that can be helpful
Analytical definitions are the definitions most commonly prized by mathematicians and Western philosophers and scientists. The reason is that these definitions state the
necessary and sufficient conditions (Links to an external site.)
for the definiendum – that is, they do precisely what ostensive definitions inherently fail to do. In the West, their strength has often been thought to be that if you have given a genuine analytical definition of a concept, then by the same token, you guarantee genuine understanding of the definiendum. In other words, to successfully analyze a concept, is (at least by Western standards) to have knowledge of the definiendum. Ask yourself if knowing something is always a matter of “breaking a thing down” into its parts. (
For skepticism about this so-called "Western Assumption," see Australian philosopher Frank Jackson's article, "The Qualia Problem."
The weaknesses of such definitions are that they are extraordinarily hard to arrive at, and even if you do, one might wonder how you would
know
that you had done so! (John Rawls, a well-known political philosopher, tried to give an analysis of justice in his famous book published in 1971,

ROSEMARY’S POST:
Help Ingrid to understand how the district’s CFA can assist her instructional efforts. Given her current second-quarter goals, offer one suggestion for an appropriate formative assessment strategy in Language Arts and Math.
The tricky thing would be spending time on a lesson while having students understand the material. However, more than half may fail or barely pass on the assessments. As a new teacher, I know that she may feel a little bit more pressure. Mentoring Ingrid includes explaining to her that Common Formative Assessments (CFAs) are provided to the students multiple times a year for several reasons. One of the main reasons would be to ensure that every student in the classroom is at the same level. This means that she will know if a student is falling behind or working ahead of the other students, meaning they may need more attention. Another reason would be a perpetual configuration of the classroom, school, and district assessments to prepare students better for success on the state assessments, according to Ainsworth (2008). Basically, she could do a practice test for the state assessment at the end of the year. Ingrid would ensure all her students will pass since she knows what needs to be worked on to prepare them for testing. One formative assessment strategy for Language Arts and Math would be to set daily assessments such as one or two questions on the material being taught. This way, she knows who is grasping the material and where they may be lost. According to Hansen (2015), for math, the assessment will include adding, subtracting, and multiplying fractions, dividing a whole number by a fraction, and estimating.
What advice would you give Melanie for developing assessments for learning that encourage and bring smiles to her kindergartners?
The advice that I can give Melanie is that every kid loves playing games. My favorite thing about students in kindergarten is that they have the wildest or craziest imaginations ever. I would use those towards any assessment because she could ask them what they think the number one looks like. She can have them draw what the number looks like to them. I would also tell her not to give up on helping them learn because within the first 5-6 years of anyone’s life is where we will learn the most.
Discuss how and why formative assessment is considered an evaluation for learning and why summative assessments are considered assessments of learning. What advice would you give these teachers to help them evaluate the advantages of each?
Formative assessments refer to various methods that teachers use to conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs, and acad.

BRIDGET’S POST:
In listening to the lectures and reading over Writing Contexts in The Little Seagull Handbook, one of the things that struck me is the idea of critical thinking and how it relates to critical reading. I've always thought of myself as a critical thinker. I enjoying trying to understand why people do the things they do or why things happen the way they do, but I realize now that I can apply critical thinking to the things I read as well as what I write. I have been out of school for over 20 years and training myself to be a student again is going to be a struggle, but hopefully I can apply my own critical thinking skills to other areas like writing and reading as well. I want to be able to ask myself if there is a deeper meaning in what an author wrote or how a character reacts? I also want to try and write in a way that is more than just superficial and at-face-value.
DILLON’S POST:
Module 1 has covered the basics of effectively writing and organizing parts of what you read and also covering the basics of plagiarism. I feel that critical reading is a very important stepping stone to apply what you have learned onto paper. It should involve you getting a deep understanding of what the writers main purpose is. You should do so by taking notes, highlighting important topics, thoroughly analyzing the writers thoughts, and considering reference works.
Ive also learned that is is important to prepare for what you are going to write. It should start with brainstorming and getting an abundance of important ideas that fit the target topic. After getting ideas you should break down these ideas into different sections to effectively apply them into well worded paragraphs. I find it is also important to go over what you have wrote multiple times by proof reading and fixing any spelling or grammatical errors that you can find.
Although I have learned much in this module, I have a very long way to go to become a good writer. This subject is something I have always struggled with, but I hope this course will better my knowledge and capabilities.

HAILEY’S POST:
Literacy holds a special place in everyone’s life, whether they believe it or not. From the fairytales and bed-time stories, my father would read to me every night to the poetry we write and share now. For me, writing is a way of facing my fears as well as expressing the emotions I could not say aloud while being able to accept the grievances and losses I have overcome. In school, we explored many different genres and time periods in which we compared authors, poets, and even playwrights with one another, seeking their true meanings behind each line or phrase. We would analyze the author’s every thought from sentence to sentence, sometimes even word to word within a sentence. When it co.

Abstract
Objective This review investigated the effect of the various models of nursing care delivery using the diverse levels
of nurses on patient and nursing outcomes.
Methods All published studies that investigated patient and nursing outcomes were considered. Studies were
included if the nursing delivery models only included nurses with varying skill levels. A literature search was
performed using the following databases: Medline (1985–2011), CINAHL (1985–2011), EMBASE (1985 to current)
and the Cochrane Controlled Studies Register (Issue 3, 2011 of Cochrane Library). In addition, the reference lists of
relevant studies and conference proceedings were also scrutinised. Two reviewers independently assessed the
eligibility of the studies for inclusion in the review, the methodological quality and extracted details of eligible studies.
Data were analysed using the RevMan software (Nordic Cochrane Centre, Copenhagen, Denmark).
Results Fourteen studies were included in this review. The results reveal that implementation of the team nursing
model of care resulted in significantly decreased incidence of medication errors and adverse intravenous outcomes,
as well as lower pain scores among patients; however, there was no effect of this model of care on the incidence of
falls. Wards that used a hybrid model demonstrated significant improvement in quality of patient care, but no
difference in incidence of pressure areas or infection rates. There were no significant differences in nursing outcomes
relating to role clarity, job satisfaction and nurse absenteeism rates between any of the models of care.
Conclusions Based on the available evidence, a predominance of team nursing within the comparisons is
suggestive of its popularity. Patient outcomes, nurse satisfaction, absenteeism and role clarity/confusion did not differ
across model comparisons. Little benefit was found within primary nursing comparisons and the cost effectiveness
of team nursing over other models remains debatable. Nonetheless, team nursing does present a better model for
inexperienced staff to develop, a key aspect in units where skill mix or experience is diverse.

During this time when the Internet provides essential communication between literally billions of people and is used as a tool for commerce, social interaction, and the exchange of an increasing amount of personal information, security has become a tremendously important issue for every user to deal with.
There are many aspects to security and many applications, ranging from secure commerce and payments to private communications and protecting health care information. One essential aspect for secure communications is that of cryptography. But it is important to note that while cryptography is necessary for secure communications, it is not by itself sufficient.

San Pedro is one of the busiest ports in the United States. Environmental justice activists are gaining influence, taking on the San Pedro Bay ports over contamination of the neighborhoods along transportation corridors. Soot and nitrogen oxides from ships, trains, and trucks are linked to asthma, cancer, and heart disease. Last year, 5,339 ships docked at the two ports. The new rules are forcing ships to switch to low-sulfur fuel within 24 miles of the coast and to plug into electrical outlets while they are docked. The ports pledge to cut pollution by 45% by 2012.

Lobbying and Advocacy
Based on what you have read this week describe the difference between lobbying and advocacy. Discuss an issue that you strongly believe should be advocated for in your field or by your discipline or community.
What data or evidence would you provide to your Congressperson, Senator or Community representative if you were going to lobby or advocate on behalf of that issue?
Analyze the role a human service provider plays in influencing policy decisions on a Federal, State and/or local level.
HUM5300 Week 1 Instructor Guidance
Throughout this course you will get a broad overview of the laws and regulations that govern human services disciplines. Some of you will be pursuing social services which are governed by county laws and regulations which typically stem from federal regulations. Some of you will be pursuing non-profit work which also has a different degree of governing and bylaws. We will explore how they govern and change from a state to state level and national level. In this first week, “It all begins with policy” you will gain an understanding of the foundation on which human services derives. Building upon this foundation is an understanding of the process of legislative and community advocacy: a process where human service and professional organizations engage in lobbying efforts to encourage action on current issues affecting the provision of services, consumer rights, or professional autonomy. Some of you may be able to relate it to work or agencies you are currently employed in or be able to understand how it relates to areas you wish to pursue once your degree is completed.
There is no written assignment for the first week (don’t worry, there will definitely be some coming!) so I encourage you to put critical thought and perspective into your discussion post and your replies to your classmates. Your discussion for this week will center on lobbying and advocacy which you will find is a major component in human services work.

The Recipe (Instructions):
Give the
analytical
definition of "mayonnaise." It's easier than you might think, but search the Internet!
Describe the latitude in the types of products that can count as mayonnaise in light of this analysis of what mayonnaise is. In doing this, use the language of
necessary and sufficient conditions
. Give examples if you can. (To be clear, I am assessing for whether you understand the role that necessary conditions, and sufficient conditions, play in the role of giving an analysis of a definiendum.)
Create your own
neologism
and write it into your response

Do

include its definition. A fun way to do this is to think in terms of
portmanteaus
. Portmanteaus are single words that are the result of fusing portions of two others. For example (this is my example, so make up your own - we want 100% individual originality here!), consider a

While you won't be giving us the definition of your own neologism right away, I will spill the beans - metaphorically speaking - about what I mean by mine: It's a really thick belt that I am also able to use to provide me with shade. So: shade + belt = shelt. There's my neologism! (That took about 10 seconds to come up with. Do you think I could market these?!)
Explain the strengths and weaknesses of
stipulative definitions

___________________________________________________________________________________
information that can be helpful
Analytical definitions are the definitions most commonly prized by mathematicians and Western philosophers and scientists. The reason is that these definitions state the
necessary and sufficient conditions (Links to an external site.)
for the definiendum – that is, they do precisely what ostensive definitions inherently fail to do. In the West, their strength has often been thought to be that if you have given a genuine analytical definition of a concept, then by the same token, you guarantee genuine understanding of the definiendum. In other words, to successfully analyze a concept, is (at least by Western standards) to have knowledge of the definiendum. Ask yourself if knowing something is always a matter of “breaking a thing down” into its parts. (
For skepticism about this so-called "Western Assumption," see Australian philosopher Frank Jackson's article, "The Qualia Problem."
The weaknesses of such definitions are that they are extraordinarily hard to arrive at, and even if you do, one might wonder how you would
know
that you had done so! (John Rawls, a well-known political philosopher, tried to give an analysis of justice in his famous book published in 1971,

ROSEMARY’S POST:
Help Ingrid to understand how the district’s CFA can assist her instructional efforts. Given her current second-quarter goals, offer one suggestion for an appropriate formative assessment strategy in Language Arts and Math.
The tricky thing would be spending time on a lesson while having students understand the material. However, more than half may fail or barely pass on the assessments. As a new teacher, I know that she may feel a little bit more pressure. Mentoring Ingrid includes explaining to her that Common Formative Assessments (CFAs) are provided to the students multiple times a year for several reasons. One of the main reasons would be to ensure that every student in the classroom is at the same level. This means that she will know if a student is falling behind or working ahead of the other students, meaning they may need more attention. Another reason would be a perpetual configuration of the classroom, school, and district assessments to prepare students better for success on the state assessments, according to Ainsworth (2008). Basically, she could do a practice test for the state assessment at the end of the year. Ingrid would ensure all her students will pass since she knows what needs to be worked on to prepare them for testing. One formative assessment strategy for Language Arts and Math would be to set daily assessments such as one or two questions on the material being taught. This way, she knows who is grasping the material and where they may be lost. According to Hansen (2015), for math, the assessment will include adding, subtracting, and multiplying fractions, dividing a whole number by a fraction, and estimating.
What advice would you give Melanie for developing assessments for learning that encourage and bring smiles to her kindergartners?
The advice that I can give Melanie is that every kid loves playing games. My favorite thing about students in kindergarten is that they have the wildest or craziest imaginations ever. I would use those towards any assessment because she could ask them what they think the number one looks like. She can have them draw what the number looks like to them. I would also tell her not to give up on helping them learn because within the first 5-6 years of anyone’s life is where we will learn the most.
Discuss how and why formative assessment is considered an evaluation for learning and why summative assessments are considered assessments of learning. What advice would you give these teachers to help them evaluate the advantages of each?
Formative assessments refer to various methods that teachers use to conduct in-process evaluations of student comprehension, learning needs, and acad.

READER RESPONSE- comment on the posts of two classmates
BRIDGET’S POST:
In listening to the lectures and reading over Writing Contexts in The Little Seagull Handbook, one of the things that struck me is the idea of critical thinking and how it relates to critical reading. I've always thought of myself as a critical thinker. I enjoying trying to understand why people do the things they do or why things happen the way they do, but I realize now that I can apply critical thinking to the things I read as well as what I write. I have been out of school for over 20 years and training myself to be a student again is going to be a struggle, but hopefully I can apply my own critical thinking skills to other areas like writing and reading as well. I want to be able to ask myself if there is a deeper meaning in what an author wrote or how a character reacts? I also want to try and write in a way that is more than just superficial and at-face-value.
DILLON’S POST:
Module 1 has covered the basics of effectively writing and organizing parts of what you read and also covering the basics of plagiarism. I feel that critical reading is a very important stepping stone to apply what you have learned onto paper. It should involve you getting a deep understanding of what the writers main purpose is. You should do so by taking notes, highlighting important topics, thoroughly analyzing the writers thoughts, and considering reference works.
Ive also learned that is is important to prepare for what you are going to write. It should start with brainstorming and getting an abundance of important ideas that fit the target topic. After getting ideas you should break down these ideas into different sections to effectively apply them into well worded paragraphs. I find it is also important to go over what you have wrote multiple times by proof reading and fixing any spelling or grammatical errors that you can find.
Although I have learned much in this module, I have a very long way to go to become a good writer. This subject is something I have always struggled with, but I hope this course will better my knowledge and capabilities.
LIFE & LITERACY - comment on the posts of two classmates
HAILEY’S POST:
Literacy holds a special place in everyone’s life, whether they believe it or not. From the fairytales and bed-time stories, my father would read to me every night to the poetry we write and share now. For me, writing is a way of facing my fears as well as expressing the emotions I could not say aloud while being able to accept the grievances and losses I have overcome. In school, we explored many different genres and time periods in which we compared authors, poets, and even playwrights with one another, seeking their true meanings behind each line or phrase. We would analyze the author’s every thought from sentence to sentence, sometimes even word to word within a sentence. When it co.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdf
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...
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.
