This is a story of how we become adults and get lost into the business stuffs. We forget enjoying life, making and listening stories. This is one reason why companies do not grow after a certain point.
Social Media is providing such a fantastic way to listen to customers in real time. It is the biggest boon for companies that is still not much exploited.
Iowa caring about our kids through culturally responsive teaching Andrea DeCapua
English learners are a diverse group who enter our schools with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. Many of them readily develop the necessary language skills, are able to access grade-level subject area content knowledge, and progress satisfactorily in school. However, there are other English learners for whom school presents major challenges, who do not progress smoothly, and who are at high risk. This is especially true for students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). Like all English learners, SLIFE need to develop language proficiency; in addition, unlike other English learners, SLIFE must also develop literacy skills and master new school-based ways of thinking and learning. Because of their prior learning experiences, SLIFE do not share our assumptions about teaching and learning, and when they come to our classrooms they are confounded by the ways in which language and content are presented, practiced, and assessed. The key to helping this population is culturally responsive teaching, which asks educators to develop a new level of awareness of both their own and the students’ culturally derived learning priorities. I examine these different priorities and present a culturally responsive instructional model, the Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP®). This instructional model promotes academic achievement by helping SLIFE access the literacy practices and school-based ways of thinking of our schools while honoring and respecting their own learning paradigm as they transition to our classroom expectations and demands.

The 2012 presidential election saw Barack Obama win re-election over Mitt Romney. It was a highly competitive race between the Democratic incumbent and his Republican challenger. Some of the key issues in the election included the state of the economy following the 2008 financial crisis, foreign policy decisions like the killing of Osama bin Laden, and debates around healthcare reform and taxes. The campaign energized supporters on both sides and saw billions spent on advertising. Ultimately, Obama was able to win key swing states like Ohio to secure a second term in the White House.

Douglas Hegley, Director of Media & Technology at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, summarizes key points from the report "Like, Link, Share" on developing a digital strategy for museums. The report stresses that digital should be a central, not peripheral, part of an organization's strategy. It also emphasizes starting with audience needs and engaging participants at multiple levels of involvement, from casual to in-depth. Developing digital strategies requires experimenting with new ideas, hiring curious generalists over specialists, and collaborating with other museums.

Latino Dropout: What are doing about it?Andrew Behnke
This document discusses Latino dropout rates and challenges. It notes that the Latino population in the US grew significantly from 13 million in 1980 to over 50 million in 2012 and is projected to reach 92 million by 2030. Latino youth are also growing rapidly. The document identifies some of the personal, family, peer, and discrimination-related reasons why Latino students dropout, such as teen pregnancy, economic issues, language struggles, peer influences, and lack of a safe school climate. It provides suggestions for how to address the high dropout rate, including focusing on building strong relationships through personalismo and caring, engaging both youth and their parents, using technology and media to retain youth, and conducting home visits.
This document discusses strategies for meeting the needs of students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). It begins by explaining the challenges SLIFE face in adapting to US classrooms, such as developing literacy skills and learning academic ways of thinking. It then introduces the Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP), an approach that accepts SLIFE's learning conditions, combines their processes with US classroom expectations, and focuses activities on using familiar language and content. The document provides examples of projects teachers can implement using MALP, which incorporate things like timelines and surveys. It emphasizes keeping projects simple, structured, and immediately relevant to students' lives.

Students with Limited/Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE)Andrea DeCapua
Lecture at the University of Cologne, Germany - Discussion of the dissonance between the learning paradigm of students with limited/interrupted formal education and the learning paradigm of formal education; overview of how to address the needs of SLIFE through the Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP).
Challenging the Deficit View of English Learners with Limited or Interrupted ...Andrea DeCapua
Given the challenges SLIFE encounter when they enter U.S. schools, a deficit view frequently pervades educators’ attitudes toward SLIFE because their assets are almost always invisible when viewed through the lens of formal education. This lens identifies and labels SLIFE based on what they don’t have: no or low language proficiency, no or low literacy skills, significant gaps in subject-area knowledge, and not knowing how to “do school”. However, it is not the students who are the “problem,” but rather the structure and constructs of formal education. After examining who SLIFE are, I briefly outline a culturally responsive instructional model that provides a ramp for SLIFE to formal education. This model promotes academic achievement by helping these students access the literacy practices and academic ways of thinking of Western-style formal education while honoring and respecting their language(s), existing skills, knowledge, and lived experiences to avoid the alienation, disenchantment, and failure SLIFE too often experience. By focusing on assets and by building bridges, SLIFE are granted a voice otherwise silenced in institutionalized educational practices that all too often paint them as intellectually inferior.

This document discusses strategies for teaching students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE) in US classrooms. It introduces the Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP) approach, which focuses on making instruction immediately relevant, incorporating both shared and individual responsibilities, and using familiar language and content. Several hands-on activities are described that use this approach, such as collecting objects to build vocabulary and develop definitions through classification. Sentence frames are provided to scaffold academic tasks. Overall, the document provides research-based strategies for connecting SLIFE students to the classroom.

This document discusses culturally responsive teaching for students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). It defines SLIFE students and contrasts them with non-SLIFE learners. SLIFE students often have gaps in their education due to factors like limited schooling, low literacy, and unfamiliarity with Western academic expectations. The document outlines SLIFE students' needs and the cultural differences between their learning experiences and formal Western education. It proposes using a Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm instructional model to help SLIFE students transition successfully to school in a new cultural context.
Meeting the needs of slife de capua sc 09 03-15 Andrea DeCapua
This document discusses meeting the needs of students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). It notes that in 2012-2013, 9.2% of US public school students were English language learners (ELLs), estimated at 4.4 million students. In South Carolina in 2010-2011, ELL enrollment was over 36,000 students, accounting for 5.1% of the K-12 population. The document discusses SLIFE students' lack of formal education, low literacy, and missing content knowledge. It proposes an approach called the Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm to help SLIFE students by combining familiar and unfamiliar learning processes and activities.
Navigating Unseen Navigating Unseen Cultural Dissonance for Students with L...Andrea DeCapua
As immigration to the U.S. continues to grow, more and more students with interrupted or limited formal education (SLIFE) enter secondary schools and adult education programs. These learners face major challenges, including the need to develop literacy skills and a content knowledge base, often in a limited timeframe. Beyond this, however, SLIFE come to formal education unfamiliar with classroom tasks and behaviors, and with little or no experience in expected types of learning and thinking. Dominant Western-style pedagogical practices derive from culturally- based priorities for learners and learning, priorities intrinsic to this style of schooling. Educators are often unaware how pervasive these priorities are and how much they shape pedagogical practices. I explore the priorities of both US mainstream educators and those of SLIFE, and discuss how each can accommodate the other’s priorities through a culturally responsive, mutually adaptive approach, thereby reducing the cultural dissonance SLIFE confront in formal educational settings. I conclude by considering how educators can bridge the gap to culturally new ways of learning by transitioning SLIFE from their preferred ways of learning to those deemed necessary for literacy and academic attainment in formal education.
Students with limited or interrupted education (SLIFE) often come with different learning paradigms from those their teachers know and expect. I present the Intercultural Communication Framework (ICF), which takes a cultural approach to helping teachers better understand SLIFE in order to plan and implement appropriate teaching practices.

This document summarizes a presentation on teaching students with limited or interrupted formal education (SLIFE). It discusses key differences between SLIFEs' backgrounds and a typical U.S. education, including their emphasis on oral transmission versus literacy. It also introduces the Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP) approach, which accepts SLIFEs' cultural learning conditions while combining processes and focusing activities on new academic tasks made accessible through familiar content. MALP provides a culturally responsive alternative to deficit views of SLIFEs' ways of learning.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
