First discussion from another student(please respond) What are the conclusions about program performance in the report? Are they justified based on the available data or evidence? Overall, I was able to see that there was a significant amount of increase of students who were actually becoming part of the interactive opportunities provided within the school especially in the school years of 2015 and 2016. Even though there was a significant amount of increase, their involvement within student programs had some level of stability with reference to the retention rates. This is something that I do believe were more likely to be able to participate in even given the amount of recommendations provided with in the report. What did the evaluators identify as “issues they will need to manage over the next few years” that might conceivably be assessed at a later date? Be prepared to identify two and justify why you would make them a priority (OSU Student Affairs Annual Report, p. 11). I was able to see that the department and school environment did lack some IT positions. I think that this impacted the level of interactive web experiences in addition to the growing demand of the diverse student population group. Secondly, I do believe that the finances had a significant amount of impact on the way that individuals were able to create some level of revenue increase eventually. Even though this was a primary cause of the impact, not having enough funds was of course a fundamental principle for decrease in quality and accessibility. Which questions could you not answer? Where could you try to find information that is not in the document? I think the most important focus area that was not able to be reflected upon was the impact of understanding of the program, especially with reference to the criteria that were selected. This was a reference point that I do believe individuals should take into consideration given the outcomes of how these population groups were divided. 2nd response from another student (please respond) My responses to the analysis questions for Oregon State University's Division of Student Affairs Annual Report are below. 8. What are the conclusions about program performance in the report? Are they justified based on the available data or evidence? · After reviewing the report a few times, I found that there was a general increase in performance with the indicators and metrics being measured. For example, from 2016-2017 to 2017-2018 school years, there was an increase from 14 to 58 programs that offered a service-learning component (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 1). In 2017, 72% of students interacted with the student affairs department compared to 96% in 2018 (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 2). · The report also showed a decrease in performance for funding during the 2017-2018 year. The Oregon State University Foundation reported that the Division of Student Affairs raised $695,589.45 as opposed to nearly $3,000,000 .

The Importance of Higher Education Issues in America
Survey respondents were asked to rate the importance of 31 higher education issues, using a five-point scale of '1' equaling "not important" to '5' equaling "very important." Respondents were directed to consider the importance of these issues for the state overall, not simply to reflect their own viewpoints or their agencies' agendas. Readers should keep in mind that our sample size is small, even though it represents nearly the entire universe of state higher education agencies. Mean scores should be treated as approximate, and small differences between items should not be over-interpreted as representing meaningful differences or trends.
The top issues in the states are:
- teacher preparation and professional development
- workforce preparation
- effectiveness and accountability
- K-16 systems/linkages between K-12 and postsecondary
- instructional technology/distance learning.
Many other issues are rated high as well, revealing the large number of "front burner" issues facing higher education today.
Perhaps most interesting, however, is how issues are shifting in importance over time. When we last collected this information in 2014, the dominant issue was adequacy of overall state financial support, reflecting lean years in state appropriations. While this issue is still an important one, it ranks relatively lower than several other issues.
Several substantive issues have grown in importance over the years. Teacher preparation has made a dramatic comeback after declining in importance since 2014. Interest in workforce development and K-16 systems have both shown gradual increases over the past decade. Effectiveness and accountability, while a more important issue area than ten years ago, ranks relatively lower today than it did in 2014. Instructional technology/distance learning, a relatively new and quite important issue in 2000, still ranks very high but is no longer as singularly dominant on the policy agenda of states. Access and diversity, rated quite high in the early part of the last decade had dropped significantly the last time we surveyed. Now this issue area is rising again in importance, most likely a result of challenges to affirmative action being made around the country and consequent concerns. Finally, it is noteworthy that in 2020, concern about faculty salaries is slightly more important than concern about faculty workload and productivity, though neither issue is currently in the top half of the list. This contrasts with the policy environment in 2014 when concern about faculty workload and productivity was significantly higher than concern about faculty salaries.
We briefly explored differences between coordinating board states and governing board states, and found that by and large, the overall patterns are similar.

Data source in Evaluation
There are various sources of data that are used in the process of evaluation in that data is easily acquired in most convenient forms such that it can be used in proper evaluation that aids the best result (Long, et al 2015).
Current and Previous Data
An individual who is involved in an evaluation should start by considering data that is already available as well as the data that had been used previously. According to the program it has been out of operation for more than five years, therefore, being inactive. Knowing what program had been used by checking records that have been documented (Boulmetis et al, 2016). For example, looking at reports written previously allows the evaluator to have the whole idea.
Plan Recipient
The most convenient way to source data is when an evaluator relies on the plan or the program that the recipients have in existence. This is because this is a way that can provide a route way to achieve evaluation needs (Greene et al, 2017). Discussion together with the recipients is a better way to access information while surveys that are involved verify the whole process.
Records from observation
Images that have been recorded in various forms are essential data capturing sources (Greene et al, 2017). Some of these sources include pictures, stored clips, and videos which is the preferred data acquiring points that have been in use. This rationale provides well-elaborated information to the evaluator since well-represented data in form of images and videos that a good example of well-processed data that can be used in making the final resolution in management. However, other means of collecting data depend on the source and individuals that are being involved in their disposition and capacity to provide information (Boulmetis et al, 2016). Actual situations are preferred as they can give accountancy of the real experiences in the entire program and the reason behind occurrences.

• the way in which political considerations are handled?
• the approaches that will be used?
• the involvement of stakeholders?
• who conducts them?
2. How is evaluation like some other activities in organizations?
3. How is evaluation viewed differently in other countries?
We have reached the last chapter of this book, but we have only begun to share
what is known about program evaluation. The references we have made to other
writings reflect only a fraction of the existing literature in this growing field. In
choosing to focus attention on (1) alternative approaches to program evaluation,
and (2) practical guidelines for planning, conducting, reporting, and using evalu-
ation studies, we have tried to emphasize what we believe is most important to
include in any single volume that aspires to give a broad overview of such a complex
and multifaceted field. We hope we have selected well, but we encourage students
and evaluation practitioners to go beyond this text to explore the richness and
depth of other evaluation literature. In this final chapter, we share our perceptions
and those of a few of our colleagues about evaluation’s future.

Predictions Concerning the Profession
of Evaluation
1. Evaluation will become an increasingly useful force in our society. As
noted, evaluation will have increasing impacts on programs, on organizations, and
on society. Many of the movements we have discussed in this text—performance
monitoring, organizational learning, and others—illustrate the increasing interest
in and impact of evaluation in different sectors. Evaluative means of thinking will
improve ways of planning and delivering programs and policies to achieve their
intended effects and, more broadly, improve society.
2. Evaluation will increase in the United States and in other developed
countries as the pressure for accountability weighs heavily on governments and
nonprofit organizations that deliver vital services. The emphasis on accountability
and data-based decision making has increased dramatically in the first decade of
the twenty-first century. Also, virtually every trend points to more, not less, eval-
uation in the public, private, and nonprofit sectors in the future. In some organi-
zations, the focus is on documenting outcomes in response to external political
pressures. In other organizations, evaluation is being used for organizational
growth and development, which should, ultimately, improve the achievement of
those outcomes. In each context, however, evaluation is in dema ...

1) Students reported an overall positive experience with the Student Success Program based on survey responses, with average scores in the high "A" range.
2) The most helpful aspects of appointments according to students were engagement conversations and resources provided.
3) While most students felt nothing needed to be improved, some suggested better connecting their major to career goals and improving appointment scheduling.
4) In response, the Student Success Program will overhaul its intake process, consider altering third-year appointments, increase collaboration with academic advisors, and conduct a more comprehensive assessment.

An effective recommendation for an academic program should have the following characteristics:
· Should consider the age of the learners
· Should consider the education requirements of the learners
· Should be geared towards improving the quality of education
· Should be realistic and have a time frame within which to achieve.
· Should go hand in hand with the way the world is moving
An example of such a recommendation is introducing a policy to ensure all students do a science subject to enhance innovation since the world is technology-based. This recommendation is effective since it goes hand in hand with the way the world is moving and is considering the education requirements of the learners. I will use the module resources to make my recommendation effective when implemented, will involve all people when making decisions regarding the improvement of the academic program.
The review of the undergraduate project is effective, and it is well organized. The review focuses on specific objectives that need to be met, and the writer is keen to note the objectives down and to make sure that the review achieves these objectives. It is also essential that the review was done after the report was conducted, and there was the involvement of all the members of the faculty. This is important as it helps the institution to develop a greater insight and to capture as much as possible opinions that will be used in the improvement of the program. This is great.
The document on the California state university is essential. This is because it brings out the report on the review in an authentic manner, and this is important for effective program improvement in the university. The review is essential as it helps to understand what can be done and what is necessary. The involvement of many of the people in the university is good as it helps even to bring out even a better review and improvement program.

Hi everyone.
I chose to evaluate the English Program at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville for this discussion. Some of the characteristics of an effective program review will include whether or not student learning is assessed, how it is being assessed, any challenges to assessment from faculty or students, what is working well with the process, what did not work well, and recommendations for improvement. The assessment from this particular University was interesting because it seemed to be infused with a lot of personality from the assessors.
The assessment was conducted during 2009 and it also happened to be taking place while the department was introducing a new curriculum. The faculty were introducing this curriculum ...
Nonprofit Financial Information OnlineIn the United States, the .docx
Nonprofit Financial Information Online
In the United States, the IRS requires that all 501c3 organizations file a tax return of sorts. The form nonprofit organizations are required to fill out is called a 990, and as public organizations, these forms are available to the public. Since 1999, organizations that file 990s have been required to provide copies to anyone who requests. Unfortunately, some nonprofits weren’t aware of this, and when asked, they sometimes refused to disclose what they perceived to be private information (although it is NOT).
To ensure that the information is available, the IRS makes information from 990s available through two outlets.
· Guidestar: www.guidestar.org
· National Center for Charitable Statistics: http://nccsdataweb.urban.org/FAQ/index.php?category=31
Guidestar is the place to look if you want a scanned copy of the complete tax return for a single organization. NCCS is a national repository for compiled data on the nonprofit sector in the U.S., but the datasets do not include all of the information from the 990s. While Guidestar makes scanned copies of individual tax returns available, NCCS makes the data from 990s available in a database format. In other words, if I were interested in contributing money to the World Wildlife Fund and wanted to look at their financial information, I’d probably go to Guidestar. However, if I wanted to conduct an analysis of all nonprofit environmental organizations, I’d go to NCCS.
While Guidestar and NCSS are great sources for data, they do not help in evaluating the financial status of an organization. A good online source of evaluating nonprofit organizations is CharityNavigator.org. What makes charity navigator particularly interesting is its use of financial ratios and rating system. The financial ratios for each of these factors is calculated from financial data on each organization’s 990.
Individual Paper 3: Financial Analysis
One technique used to assess an organization’s financial management is ratio analysis, which focuses on mathematical comparisons between or among accounts on a set of financial statements. While an organization’s size must still be taken into account, financial ratios allow a rough comparison of both large and small organizations. For example, looking at the expenses for Marist and Harvard isn’t particularly useful. However, looking at the ratio of program expenses to total expenses allows us to determine how much of each organization’s budget is used for administrative expenses versus mission critical programs. Ratios also represent benchmarks that organizations can use internally to analyze themselves over multiple years. Fortunately for us, IRS form 990 represents a quick-and-dirty set of financial statements for nonprofit organizations in the U.S.
There are many types of financial ratios for evaluating nonprofit organizations. For this assignment we will examine four types:

Assessing Service-Learning
This document discusses tools for assessing cognitive outcomes of service-learning programs. It begins by explaining the importance of assessing service-learning and then provides a review of available assessment tools. The tools are organized into three categories: research scales, written essays/protocols, and interviews/qualitative approaches. Several tools are described in detail, including the Cognitive Learning Scale, Problem-Solving Analysis Protocol, and Problem-Solving Interview Protocol. The conclusion emphasizes that systematic assessment can improve service-learning programs and better demonstrate their impact on student learning.

This document provides guidance on developing effective community-based accountability reports. It defines community-based accountability and outlines key conditions needed for it to work. It also recommends including a "management letter" to discuss successes, failures, goals and strategies for improvement. Additionally, it suggests focusing reports on a few key metrics that demonstrate progress toward community values and priorities, rather than overwhelming data. Observations from sample reports note opportunities to improve focus, transparency on performance and improvement, addressing equity, and including meaningful narrative.
Understanding the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” 2007 - Handout
U.S. News & World Report ranks colleges based on factors like peer assessment, retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduation rates, and alumni giving. The methodology is controversial because it only includes certain institutions and the factors and weights change over time. Some criticize that it could incentivize colleges to manipulate data instead of improving quality. However, proponents argue it provides a useful overview of colleges using measurable indicators related to academic success.
Secondary Analysis Of Qualitative Data
This document discusses the usefulness of official crime statistics to sociologists. Official crime statistics are collected by the police and provide secondary data for sociologists to analyze. However, they are limited in that not all crimes are reported to the police. Victimization surveys and self-report studies aim to uncover the true amount of crime, but they also have limitations such as recall bias. While official statistics provide easily accessible standardized data, sociologists must approach them critically due to their inherent limitations in only representing reported crimes.

It provides a recipe for combining previously released test items, item parameter estimates, and other data to construct tests that produce scores on established state scales. These interim tests could help educators estimate student score distributions and identify needs, but should only be used for low-stakes monitoring with no consequences for students or educators.
Pt c final report revised (10-1-12)
This document analyzes data on the college pathways and outcomes of Philadelphia students. Some of the key findings include:
1) The number of college applications from Philadelphia students has increased significantly from 2003-2009, but acceptances and enrollments did not increase at the same rate.
2) Over 23% of Philadelphia students at four-year institutions required developmental education, especially in English. At the community college, over half of students required developmental courses in math or English.
3) While getting through the first year of college is important, students can fall off track even after the second year - 25% failed to complete within 6 years after the second year.
The document discusses these findings and poses questions to
Financial Education for School Youths Curriculum
There are still many prevalent problems surrounding the high school curriculum. This can be seen with
many teachers still struggling with students’ retention on subjects being taught, as well as students having
difficulty with test taking. A focal point with the matter is the subjects themselves that are taught, as both teachers
and students complain about how many of the school subjects do not object towards practical skill sets needed
towards real life. In several countries, students are taught subjects related to vocation, career, finances, and even
investment. A main reason as to why these countries suffer less from economic distress, as well as having more
successful outputs for students, is because financial education is well implemented into the high school curriculum.
The purpose for this paper is to show case studies of various countries showing success due to financial education
taught in schools, and to therefore prove the point that financial education is needed all around for the youth.

States are increasingly focused on ensuring students graduate high school prepared for college and careers. To improve preparation efforts, stakeholders need information on student outcomes after high school. Many states now produce high school feedback reports using longitudinal data systems, but report quality and content varies. Most reports include indicators like college enrollment, remediation, credit accumulation and completion rates. Further development of these reports could help stakeholders better support student success.

Discussion #1
The stakeholder role I am assuming is the business leader. I am in support of increasing curricular focus, funding, and new hiring for professional and technical fields. In Document Set2 for this case study, it states there are 3.3 million job openings in the U.S., many going unfilled for months on end, as roughly half of employers now say they’re having a hard time finding qualified workers to hire, especially in technical fields. This information was retrieved from
White House Jobs Council
which is based on a reliable source. This information is extremely relevant to the issue because the solution to producing qualified workers is to equip students with the necessary skills and abilities. Those skills and abilities should align with the expectations established by industry leaders.
According to the White House Jobs Council in 2012
,
America is losing its position of global educational leadership in ways that could put our future living standards and business
competiveness
at risk.
This new information informs this position because without a change in focus to technical education those unfilled jobs will continue to increase.

All of them had a difficult time gaining employment directly related to their field of study after graduation. In one instance, there was a graduate who majored in anthropology and he now washes trash cans part-time. In another instance, there was a graduate who majored in history with a minor in political science who is a substitute teacher one day a week. Both of the graduates agree, that they do not regret going to college although they wished they would have pursued som.
A guide for comprehensive needs assessment
A comprehensive needs assessment should identify gaps between a school's current performance and its goals. It provides direction by determining priorities and resources to maximize impact. The assessment involves gathering both qualitative and quantitative data from multiple sources to develop goals and monitor implementation. It is critical for a planning team to conduct the needs assessment and analyze the data to identify root causes and priorities. The results should be used to create SMART goals and select strategies to meet identified needs.

Measurement Memo Re: Measuring the Impact of Student Diversity Program
This is a Measurement Memo that I developed for graduate course PAD 745 (Program Development and Evaluation). Addressed to the NYC Department of Education, it details baselines and benchmarks to measure my imaginary non-profit, Advocates for Student Diversity in Specialized High Schools (ASDSHS) against.
The organization was seeking funding from the NYC DOE in order to carry out its mission of expanding public and legislative support for the use of a holistic admissions approach in the city's specialized high school admissions process.
EM 500- 5 Stages of Educational Planning.pptx
The 5 main stages of educational planning are:
1. Collection and analysis of statistical information to understand the current state of education.
2. Evolving policy proposals to identify gaps and weaknesses and formulate strategies to achieve objectives.
3. Projections, programming and analysis of needed inputs like students, teachers, facilities under the strategies.
4. Costing of the educational plans and ensuring costs are consistent with objectives and available resources.
5. Decision making, implementation, and evaluation to create conditions for effective execution and assess accomplishment of objectives.
1 Modernizing Delivery Tools to Improve College of Bu
The document summarizes a study that examined the impact of online video lectures on improving financial literacy among college business students. The study involved 244 business students who were split into two groups - one group watched a 67-minute video on financial literacy concepts, while the other group did not. Both groups took pre- and post-tests to evaluate their financial literacy. The results showed that the students who watched the video had greater gains in their financial literacy scores compared to the control group, suggesting that video interventions can effectively teach financial literacy concepts to college students.

Write Sample-Spring 2016 Success Counseling Report
The Student Success Program at the University of Arizona's Honors College conducted an assessment of its program in Spring 2016. The assessment found that:
1) Students reported an overall positive experience with the Student Success Program based on survey responses, with average scores in the high "A" range.
2) The most helpful aspects of appointments according to students were engagement conversations and resources provided.
3) While most students felt nothing needed to be improved, some suggested better connecting their major to career goals and improving appointment scheduling.
4) In response, the Student Success Program will overhaul its intake process, consider altering third-year appointments, increase collaboration with academic advisors, and conduct a more comprehensive assessment.

Academic Program
An effective recommendation for an academic program should have the following characteristics:
· Should consider the age of the learners
· Should consider the education requirements of the learners
· Should be geared towards improving the quality of education
· Should be realistic and have a time frame within which to achieve.
· Should go hand in hand with the way the world is moving
An example of such a recommendation is introducing a policy to ensure all students do a science subject to enhance innovation since the world is technology-based. This recommendation is effective since it goes hand in hand with the way the world is moving and is considering the education requirements of the learners. I will use the module resources to make my recommendation effective when implemented, will involve all people when making decisions regarding the improvement of the academic program.
The review of the undergraduate project is effective, and it is well organized. The review focuses on specific objectives that need to be met, and the writer is keen to note the objectives down and to make sure that the review achieves these objectives. It is also essential that the review was done after the report was conducted, and there was the involvement of all the members of the faculty. This is important as it helps the institution to develop a greater insight and to capture as much as possible opinions that will be used in the improvement of the program. This is great.
The document on the California state university is essential. This is because it brings out the report on the review in an authentic manner, and this is important for effective program improvement in the university. The review is essential as it helps to understand what can be done and what is necessary. The involvement of many of the people in the university is good as it helps even to bring out even a better review and improvement program.

Julia Discussion:
Hi everyone.
I chose to evaluate the English Program at Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville for this discussion. Some of the characteristics of an effective program review will include whether or not student learning is assessed, how it is being assessed, any challenges to assessment from faculty or students, what is working well with the process, what did not work well, and recommendations for improvement. The assessment from this particular University was interesting because it seemed to be infused with a lot of personality from the assessors.
The assessment was conducted during 2009 and it also happened to be taking place while the department was introducing a new curriculum. The faculty were introducing this curriculum ...
Nonprofit Financial Information OnlineIn the United States, the .docx
Nonprofit Financial Information Online
In the United States, the IRS requires that all 501c3 organizations file a tax return of sorts. The form nonprofit organizations are required to fill out is called a 990, and as public organizations, these forms are available to the public. Since 1999, organizations that file 990s have been required to provide copies to anyone who requests. Unfortunately, some nonprofits weren’t aware of this, and when asked, they sometimes refused to disclose what they perceived to be private information (although it is NOT).
To ensure that the information is available, the IRS makes information from 990s available through two outlets.
· Guidestar: www.guidestar.org
· National Center for Charitable Statistics: http://nccsdataweb.urban.org/FAQ/index.php?category=31
Guidestar is the place to look if you want a scanned copy of the complete tax return for a single organization. NCCS is a national repository for compiled data on the nonprofit sector in the U.S., but the datasets do not include all of the information from the 990s. While Guidestar makes scanned copies of individual tax returns available, NCCS makes the data from 990s available in a database format. In other words, if I were interested in contributing money to the World Wildlife Fund and wanted to look at their financial information, I’d probably go to Guidestar. However, if I wanted to conduct an analysis of all nonprofit environmental organizations, I’d go to NCCS.
While Guidestar and NCSS are great sources for data, they do not help in evaluating the financial status of an organization. A good online source of evaluating nonprofit organizations is CharityNavigator.org. What makes charity navigator particularly interesting is its use of financial ratios and rating system. The financial ratios for each of these factors is calculated from financial data on each organization’s 990.
Individual Paper 3: Financial Analysis
One technique used to assess an organization’s financial management is ratio analysis, which focuses on mathematical comparisons between or among accounts on a set of financial statements. While an organization’s size must still be taken into account, financial ratios allow a rough comparison of both large and small organizations. For example, looking at the expenses for Marist and Harvard isn’t particularly useful. However, looking at the ratio of program expenses to total expenses allows us to determine how much of each organization’s budget is used for administrative expenses versus mission critical programs. Ratios also represent benchmarks that organizations can use internally to analyze themselves over multiple years. Fortunately for us, IRS form 990 represents a quick-and-dirty set of financial statements for nonprofit organizations in the U.S.
There are many types of financial ratios for evaluating nonprofit organizations. For this assignment we will examine four types:

Assessing Service-Learning
This document discusses tools for assessing cognitive outcomes of service-learning programs. It begins by explaining the importance of assessing service-learning and then provides a review of available assessment tools. The tools are organized into three categories: research scales, written essays/protocols, and interviews/qualitative approaches. Several tools are described in detail, including the Cognitive Learning Scale, Problem-Solving Analysis Protocol, and Problem-Solving Interview Protocol. The conclusion emphasizes that systematic assessment can improve service-learning programs and better demonstrate their impact on student learning.
Tasa presentation version 2
This document provides guidance on developing effective community-based accountability reports. It defines community-based accountability and outlines key conditions needed for it to work. It also recommends including a "management letter" to discuss successes, failures, goals and strategies for improvement. Additionally, it suggests focusing reports on a few key metrics that demonstrate progress toward community values and priorities, rather than overwhelming data. Observations from sample reports note opportunities to improve focus, transparency on performance and improvement, addressing equity, and including meaningful narrative.
Understanding the U.S. News & World Report “Best Colleges” 2007 - Handout
U.S. News & World Report ranks colleges based on factors like peer assessment, retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources, graduation rates, and alumni giving. The methodology is controversial because it only includes certain institutions and the factors and weights change over time. Some criticize that it could incentivize colleges to manipulate data instead of improving quality. However, proponents argue it provides a useful overview of colleges using measurable indicators related to academic success.
Secondary Analysis Of Qualitative Data
This document discusses the usefulness of official crime statistics to sociologists. Official crime statistics are collected by the police and provide secondary data for sociologists to analyze. However, they are limited in that not all crimes are reported to the police. Victimization surveys and self-report studies aim to uncover the true amount of crime, but they also have limitations such as recall bias. While official statistics provide easily accessible standardized data, sociologists must approach them critically due to their inherent limitations in only representing reported crimes.

Benchmarking is presented as a way to maintain viability by comparing performance to peers. Examples of common higher education KPIs and benchmarking groups are provided.

This document discusses how released state test items can be used to create interim assessments to estimate student achievement levels during an educational crisis like the COVID-19 pandemic. It provides a recipe for combining previously released test items, item parameter estimates, and other data to construct tests that produce scores on established state scales. These interim tests could help educators estimate student score distributions and identify needs, but should only be used for low-stakes monitoring with no consequences for students or educators.
Pt c final report revised (10-1-12)
This document analyzes data on the college pathways and outcomes of Philadelphia students. Some of the key findings include:
1) The number of college applications from Philadelphia students has increased significantly from 2003-2009, but acceptances and enrollments did not increase at the same rate.
2) Over 23% of Philadelphia students at four-year institutions required developmental education, especially in English. At the community college, over half of students required developmental courses in math or English.
3) While getting through the first year of college is important, students can fall off track even after the second year - 25% failed to complete within 6 years after the second year.
The document discusses these findings and poses questions to
Financial Education for School Youths Curriculum
There are still many prevalent problems surrounding the high school curriculum. This can be seen with
many teachers still struggling with students’ retention on subjects being taught, as well as students having
difficulty with test taking. A focal point with the matter is the subjects themselves that are taught, as both teachers
and students complain about how many of the school subjects do not object towards practical skill sets needed
towards real life. In several countries, students are taught subjects related to vocation, career, finances, and even
investment. A main reason as to why these countries suffer less from economic distress, as well as having more
successful outputs for students, is because financial education is well implemented into the high school curriculum.
The purpose for this paper is to show case studies of various countries showing success due to financial education
taught in schools, and to therefore prove the point that financial education is needed all around for the youth.

States are increasingly focused on ensuring students graduate high school prepared for college and careers. To improve preparation efforts, stakeholders need information on student outcomes after high school. Many states now produce high school feedback reports using longitudinal data systems, but report quality and content varies. Most reports include indicators like college enrollment, remediation, credit accumulation and completion rates. Further development of these reports could help stakeholders better support student success.

(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)· Teleconsultation Cons.docx
(Glossary of Telemedicine and eHealth)
· Teleconsultation: Consultation between a provider and specialist at distance using either store and forward telemedicine or real time videoconferencing.
· Telehealth and Telemedicine: Telemedicine is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients' health status. Closely associated with telemedicine is the term "telehealth," which is often used to encompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services. Videoconferencing, transmission of still images, e-health including patient portals, remote monitoring of vital signs, continuing medical education and nursing call centers are all considered part of telemedicine and telehealth. Telemedicine is not a separate medical specialty. Products and services related to telemedicine are often part of a larger investment by health care institutions in either information technology or the delivery of clinical care. Even in the reimbursement fee structure, there is usually no distinction made between services provided on site and those provided through telemedicine and often no separate coding required for billing of remote services. Telemedicine encompasses different types of programs and services provided for the patient. Each component involves different providers and consumers.

Introduction
Explore the cultural and intercultural communication dimensions of place, space and location. We will examine:
The dynamic process of placing and displacing cultural space in the context of globalization.
How people use communicative practices to construct, maintain, negotiate, and hybridize cultural spaces
How segregated, contested, and hybrid cultural spaces are both shaped by the legacy of colonialism and the context of globalization.
How Hip hop culture illustrates the cultural and intercultural dimensions of place, space, and location in the context of globalization

Placing Culture and Cultural Space
Culture, by definition, is rooted in place with a reciprocal relationship between people and place
Culture:
“Place tilled” in Middle English
Colere : “to inhabit, care for, till, worship” in Latin
In the context of globalization, what is the relationship between culture and place?
Culture is both placed and displaced

Cultural Space
The communicative practices that construct meanings in, through and about particular places
Cultural space shapes verbal and nonverbal communicative practices
i.e. Classrooms, dance club, library.
Cultural spaces are constructed through the communicative practices developed and lived by people in particular places
Communicative practices include:
The languages, accents, slang, dress, artifacts, architectural design, the behaviors and patterns of interaction, the stories, the discourses and histories

(chapter taken from Learning Power)From Social Class and t.docx
This document summarizes Jean Anyon's observations of 5 elementary schools that served different socioeconomic classes. In working-class schools, classroom activities focused on rote memorization and following procedures without explanation of underlying concepts. Work involved copying steps and notes from the board. In contrast, more affluent schools emphasized conceptual learning, creativity, and preparing students for professional careers through activities like experiments and projects. Anyon concluded schools were preparing students for different roles in the economy and society based on their social class.

Nonprofit Photography: Ethics
and Approaches
Best practices and tips on ethics and approaches in
humanitarian photography for social impact.
The first moon landing. The Vietnamese ‘napalm girl’, running naked and in agony. The World
Trade Centers falling.
As we know, photography carries the power to inspire, educate, horrify and compel its viewers to
take action. Images evoke strong and often public emotions, as people frequently formulate their
opinions, judgments and behaviors in response to visual stimuli. Because of this, photography
can wield substantial control over public perception and discourse.
Moreover, photography in our digital age permits us to deliver complex information about
remote conditions which can be rapidly distributed and effortlessly processed by the viewer.
Recently, we’ve witnessed the profound impact of photography coupled with social media:
together, they have fueled political movements and brought down a corrupt government.
Photography can - and has - changed the course of history.
Ethical Considerations
Those who commission and create photography of marginalized populations to further an
organizations’ mission possess a tremendous responsibility. Careful ethical consideration should
be given to all aspects of the photography supply chain: its planning, creation, and distribution.
When planning a photography campaign, it is important to examine the motives for creating
particular images and their potential impact. Not only must a faithful, comprehensive visual
depiction of the subjects be created to avoid causing misconception, but more importantly, the
subjects’ dignity must be preserved. Words and images that elicit an emotional response by their
sheer shock value (e.g. starving, skeletal children covered in flies) are harmful because they
exploit the subjects’ condition in order to generate sympathy for increasing charitable donations
or support for a given cause. In addition to violating privacy and human rights, this so-called
'poverty porn’ is harmful to those it is trying to aid because it evokes the idea that the
marginalized are helpless and incapable of helping themselves, thereby cultivating a culture of
paternalism. Poverty porn is also detrimental because it is degrading, dishonoring and robs
people of their dignity. While it is important to illustrate the challenges of a population, one must
always strive to tell stories in a way that honors the subjects’ circumstances, and (ideally)
illustrates hope for their plight.
Legal issues
Legal issues are more clear cut when images are created or used in stable countries where legal
precedent for photography use has been established. Image use and creation becomes far more
murky and problematic in countries in which law and order is vague or even nonexistent.
Even though images created for no.

(1) How does quantum cryptography eliminate the problem of eaves.docx
Quantum cryptography eliminates eavesdropping by using the principles of quantum mechanics, where any interception of encrypted information can be detected. However, quantum cryptography has limitations in the distance over which it can be effectively implemented and requires specialized equipment. Developments in both theoretical and applied cryptography will be influenced by advances in computing power, communication technologies, user needs for security and privacy, and socioeconomic or geopolitical factors.

10 Event Trends for 2019
I am very glad to welcome you to the 8th edition of our annual
event trends. This is going to be a different one.
One element that made our event trends stand out from
the thousands of reports and articles on the topic is that we
don’t care about pleasing companies, pundits, suppliers, star
planners and the likes. Our only focus is you, the reader, to
help you navigate through very uncertain times.
This is why I decided to bring back this report, by far the most
popular in the industry, to its roots. 10 trends that will actually
materialize between now and November 2019, when we will
publish edition number nine.
I feel you have a lot going on, with your events I mean.
F&B, room blocks, sponsorship, marketing security, technology.
I think I failed you in previous editions. I think I gave you too
much. This report will be the most concise and strategic piece
of content you will need for next year.
If you don’t read anything else this year, it’s fine. As long as you
read the next few words.

// When the function returns, the string pointed to by the

// slot will point to the first non-null character in the string
// pointed to by <line>, the oneth slot will point to the second
// non-null character in the string pointed to by <line>, and so
// on. In other words, each subsequent pointer in argv will point
// to each subsequent "token" (characters separated by white space)
// IN the block of memory stored at the pointer <line>. Since all
// the white space is replaced by '\0', every one of these "tokens"
// pointed to by subsequent entires of argv will be a valid string
// The "last" entry in the argv array will be set to NULL. This

void parse(char *line, char **argv)

// We will assume that the input string is NULL terminated. If it
// is not, this code WILL break. The rewriting of whitespace characters
// and the updating of pointers in argv are interleaved. Basically
// we do a while loop that will go until we run out of characters in
// the string (the outer while loop that goes until '\0'). Inside
// that loop, we interleave between rewriting white space (space, tab,
// and newline) with nulls ('\0') AND just skipping over non-whitespace.
// Note that whenever we encounter a non-whitespace character, we record
// that address in the array of address at argv and increment it. When
// we run out of tokens in the string, we make the last entry in the array
// at argv NULL. This marks the end of pointers to tokens. Easy, right?
while (*line != '\0') // outer loop. keep going until the whole string is read
{ // keep moving forward the pointer into the input string until
// we encounter a non-whitespace character. While we're at it,
// turn all those whitespace characters we're seeing into null chars.
while (*line == ' ' || *line == '\t' || *line == '\n' || *line == '\r')
{ *line = '\0';
line++;
}
// If I got this far, I MUST be looking at a non-whitespace character,
// or, the beginning of a token. So, let's record the address of this
// beginning of token to the address I'm pointing at now. (Put it in *argv)

Executive Board of the Boy Scouts of America
Francis R. McAllister, Chairman
David Biegler Ronald K. Migita
Dennis H. Chookaszian David Moody
Report of Independent Auditors
To the Executive Board of the National Council of the Boy Scouts of America
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the National Council of the Boy Scouts
of America and its affiliates (the National Council), which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position
as of December 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of revenues, expenses, and other changes in net
assets, of functional expenses and of cash flows for the year then ended.
Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the
design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors’ Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We
conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of
the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making
those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the National Council’s preparation and fair
presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the
circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the National Council’s
internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of
accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as
evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial sta.

How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17
An import error occurs when a program fails to import a module or library, disrupting its execution. In languages like Python, this issue arises when the specified module cannot be found or accessed, hindering the program's functionality. Resolving import errors is crucial for maintaining smooth software operation and uninterrupted development processes.

First discussion from another student(please respond)What are t.docx
- 1. First discussion from another student(please respond) What are the conclusions about program performance in the report? Are they justified based on the available data or evidence? Overall, I was able to see that there was a significant amount of increase of students who were actually becoming part of the interactive opportunities provided within the school especially in the school years of 2015 and 2016. Even though there was a significant amount of increase, their involvement within student programs had some level of stability with reference to the retention rates. This is something that I do believe were more likely to be able to participate in even given the amount of recommendations provided with in the report. What did the evaluators identify as “issues they will need to manage over the next few years” that might conceivably be assessed at a later date? Be prepared to identify two and justify why you would make them a priority (OSU Student Affairs Annual Report, p. 11). I was able to see that the department and school environment did lack some IT positions. I think that this impacted the level of interactive web experiences in addition to the growing demand of the diverse student population group. Secondly, I do believe that the finances had a significant amount of impact on the way that individuals were able to create some level of revenue increase eventually. Even though this was a primary cause of the impact, not having enough funds was of course a fundamental principle for decrease in quality and accessibility. Which questions could you not answer? Where could you try to find information that is not in the document? I think the most important focus area that was not able to be reflected upon was the impact of understanding of the program, especially with reference to the criteria that were selected. This was a reference point that I do believe individuals should take into consideration given the outcomes of how these population
- 2. groups were divided. 2nd response from another student (please respond) My responses to the analysis questions for Oregon State University's Division of Student Affairs Annual Report are below. 8. What are the conclusions about program performance in the report? Are they justified based on the available data or evidence? · After reviewing the report a few times, I found that there was a general increase in performance with the indicators and metrics being measured. For example, from 2016-2017 to 2017- 2018 school years, there was an increase from 14 to 58 programs that offered a service-learning component (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 1). In 2017, 72% of students interacted with the student affairs department compared to 96% in 2018 (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 2). · The report also showed a decrease in performance for funding during the 2017-2018 year. The Oregon State University Foundation reported that the Division of Student Affairs raised $695,589.45 as opposed to nearly $3,000,000 for the 2016-2017 school year (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 4) · For some metrics, there were no previous school years to compare data to evaluate for effectiveness or if improvements needed to be made. For example, during the 2017-2018 school year, 230 staff members attended the 3 Student Affairs Educators Forum sessions, "some attending more than one" (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 3). No other information is given regarding goals to increase attendance among staff members, or other metrics to establish that this data point as being successful. 9. What did the evaluators identify as “issues they will need to manage over the next few years” that might conceivably be
- 3. assessed at a later date? Be prepared to identify two and justify why you would make them a priority (OSU Student Affairs Annual Report, p. 11). · One issues listed was the number of first-year to graduating undergraduate students interacting with diverse others given a specific category of difference. The National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE) first conducted this analysis in the Spring 2016 (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 1) According to the report, the number of diverse interactions will increase as students progress through their program. The data is scheduled to be updated Spring 2019 and will be used to report to the U.S. News and World Report for the university's ranking (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 1). · The second issue was a "10-year divisional capital plan totaling over $360 million that will be funded through self- support revenue and student-voted fees" (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 8). The plan is aimed to prioritize projects that are going to be help in projecting cash availability and identify capital investments that will help preserve buildings on campus (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 8). Over time, this plan is projected to improve student fee processes and help "institutional leaders preserve assets instead of hiring more personnel or funding additional programs" (Division of Student Affairs, 2019, p. 8). 10. Which questions could you not answer? Where could you try to find information that is not in the document? · I had trouble answering question 8 as there were a few metrics that had apparent improvements for the department, whereas other data seemed to stand alone as new initiatives the department was trying to implement in order to keep on track with their mission and goals. The student affairs website would be my next source to elaborate on any information detailed in this report, or even visit the main homepage of OSU to see if any performance goals are described there.
