This document is the March 13th issue of the British International School - Ho Chi Minh City Secondary Campus newsletter. It provides updates on various school events, including sports teams competing in the FOBISIA games in Taipei, an update to the school website and new BIS Hub online platform, a cross-campus science experiment between year levels, several students' participation in the UNISMUN conference in Hanoi, upcoming sports day activities, an upcoming spring concert, upcoming Parent Teacher Group events, and the weekly menu from the school cafeteria.
Poughkeepsie Journal -Battles in Our Backyard
The document summarizes a youth conference called "Battles in Our Backyard" that was held in Poughkeepsie, NY to educate and inform teenagers on nonviolence as an alternative to the violence seen in their communities and in the media. The conference was organized by two recent Vassar College graduates and involved approximately 30 teenagers from Poughkeepsie and Lowell, MA. The teens socialized, watched a documentary on youth violence in Miami, and discussed their experiences with violence and possible alternatives. Throughout the day, the teens explored productive nonviolence as an alternative to confrontation and discussed local youth projects, like making and selling salsa, as positive ways to change their communities.

The document discusses the development of gendered dress styles for men/boys and women/girls over time. Originally, there were strict dress codes that differentiated men and women's clothing. In the 20th century, sportswear and casual styles replaced traditional attire and gendered clothing norms began to blur. Literature and media have played a large role in cultural changes to dress by promoting cross-gender styles. Religions have also influenced styles but their rules are becoming less defining as modernism and shared styles increase in societies. The future may see women continuing to wear men's clothing as influence of religion on gendered dress wanes.
Neighborhoods and Communities
Industrialization in the 19th century led to social and moral isolation as relations became based more on business than personal connections. Early community studies found that industrialization, urbanization, and consumerism weakened civic involvement. Researchers found that places seen as "disorganized" often contained diverse lifestyles based on class, ethnicity, gender. Later network analysis found that education level was a stronger predictor of social network size than location. Strong social networks in communities were linked to lower death rates.

Event & Society
Society shapes celebrations and events through its structures and norms. As society changed from pre-modern to modern to post-modern, celebrations also changed in nature. Pre-modern celebrations were tied to religion and agriculture. Modern celebrations emerged with industrialization but many traditional celebrations declined. However, since the 1970s, celebrations have experienced a resurgence as people sought community and questioned modernity. The forces of globalization, technology, and tourism have further changed the nature and spread of celebrations in post-modern society.

Musuems... So What?
A keynote for the 2015 We are Museums Conference in Berlin, Germany.
Museums… why should we care? Much has been written about the changes our culture is experiencing as institutions that once held a place of primary esteem have now somehow become less important than they once were. Museums are at the crux of this change and are wondering how we might preserve and bottle the relevance we hold with our audiences. At the same time, we find that relevance to be changing, ephemeral, and eroding.
How should museums answer these fundamental questions about our impact and why we matter at all? When challenged to defend the public investment and trust that we have stewarded for so many years, are we prepared to give a good account?
In this talk, Rob will expand on his seminal article about museum impact, Museums… So What? and will provide new insights and opportunities for museums to look towards to document and demonstrate actual real impact that museums provide and the tangible benefits museums can bring to their communities.
“Museums… so what?” will follow up on his much discussed article from the CODE|WORDS series on Medium.

The Impact of Media Censorship on Cuban Youth Politics
This document summarizes the impact of media censorship in Cuba on youth politics. It discusses how censorship began under Fidel Castro and expanded to all news outlets by 1960. It then examines how censorship policies have influenced Cuban youth, who have witnessed restrictions but still feel passionate about political and social goals. The document notes that youth today disregard state media and have developed their own ideas for a more open form of socialism with equality and freedom of expression. It concludes by outlining some of the political aims held by Cuban youth today.
Wednesdays in Mississippi: A Jewish Social Justice Case Study
2014 marked the 50th anniversary of Wednesdays in Mississippi, a little-known story of American housewives who created change in their communities. Learn about the contributions of and challenges for these women from interviews and historical documents that tell the story of how they organized across racial and geographic lines during the Civil Rights Movement.
Section 6 katie, dennis
The document discusses the moral revolution of the post-WWI younger generation. It states that younger generations abandoned old moral codes of innocence and decency through scandalous fashion and manners, starting a moral revolution. However, they did not replace the old moral code with a new one due to disillusionment. As a result, they fell into states of promiscuity, rudeness, and unhappiness.
Seattle art museum (sat sfo)
The document discusses the declining attendance and participation in fine arts institutions and activities in the United States. It notes that attendance for events like ballet, opera, classical music, theater, and jazz have all declined significantly from 1982 to 2008. The median age of attendees has also increased. On average, people now spend less than 10 minutes per week participating in fine arts. The document proposes a new vision and blueprint called S@SFO to help recreate fine arts institutions by making them more accessible, diverse, impact-focused, and innovative through strategies like becoming an arts concierge and cultivating young audiences.
Literature with local ties | Vox Magazine
Several nationally recognized authors have connections to mid-Missouri and Columbia specifically. Trudy Lewis, the creative writing program director at MU, notes that Columbia is an interesting place for writers because it is where the rural meets the urban due to the presence of the university, creating a lively environment. The article then highlights some notable literary works from the past 85 years that have ties to the area, including Tennessee Williams' first play Beauty is the Word from 1930. Williams studied journalism at MU for two years before having to leave to work in his family's shoe factory, but continued writing.

This document discusses the shift from Keynesian economics to neoliberalism in urban politics and policy in the United States and Britain between 1976-2000. It argues that neoliberalism undermined cities' governing capacity and launched a new trajectory of political development that proceeded through two logics: neoliberalization by default through events like financial crises, and neoliberalization by design through targeted policy changes imposed by national elites. It provides examples of neoliberalization by design in London Docklands and neoliberalization by default through financial collapse and ideological shifts in Philadelphia.
Michael Meehan
The document discusses challenges with financing energy efficiency projects. It notes that two key challenges are a lack of quality data and low consumer engagement. It describes different models for direct financing to consumers and indirect financing of larger projects. Open energy data initiatives could help address data issues and allow better assessment of risks. Improving consumer engagement on energy use would also help promote direct financing options.
James Finlay: Top 10 EE Concept Missteps
This document summarizes the top 10 conceptual hurdles to greater investment in energy efficiency. It discusses issues such as how construction lending differs from lending on stabilized properties, the different risk cultures across real estate asset classes, the fallacy that if there is no market data the value is zero, focusing on low hanging fruit improvements over deep retrofits, timing efficiency upgrades with capital expenditure cycles, and only considering cost savings without other potential benefits. It also addresses issues like the simple payback fallacy of not including reversion, incentives needed for renewable energy similar to subsidies for fossil fuels, greater emotional impact of potential losses over gains, and how complex credit issues have been solved before through mechanisms like credit enhancement.
Matt Kwatinetz
The document summarizes a paper that proposes a new method for commercial mortgage lenders to explicitly factor energy risk and building energy efficiency into mortgage underwriting. It finds that standard underwriting does not account for risks from volatile energy prices, which can significantly impact building cash flows. The authors develop a model to simulate cash flows under different energy price scenarios and incorporate these risks into loan valuations. The results show loan valuations are 8.5% lower when accounting for energy, with larger reductions for larger buildings and loans. The paper concludes this method can help lenders more accurately price loans based on location-specific energy risks and efficiency levels.

The Great Depression
(1929)- The stock market crashed and “among the factors contributing to the crash were a trade imbalance following World War I, where the United States was exporting more than it was importing to nations that could not pay; an unregulated stock market; a weak banking system; growing government expenditures; overproduction in both the industrial and agricultural sectors; and growing unemployment” (Webb, section 7.1, 2014).
This impacted man people; public schools, colleges, and teachers.
The Civilian Conservation Corps
(1930s)- “one of the federal emergency agencies created under Roosevelt's New Deal to provide "work relief" for the unemployed. It provided temporary work for over 3 million young men aged 18 to 25, who lived in CCC camps and worked on various conservation projects like reforestation, wildlife preservation, flood control, and forest fire prevention (Webb, section 7.3, 2014). About 150,000 African American children were enrolled in 150 CCC companies and 85,000 Native Americans in a separate company.
Public Works Administration
(1933)- funded large-scale projects such as bridges, dams, hospitals, airports, libraries, and 7,500 schools that were built between 1933 and 1939. Webb (2014) Stated that “$1.7 billion in federal funds (with $300 million state and local matching funds) provided for the building of 102 public libraries and 59,614 classrooms between the years 1934-1939. Fourteen percent of all PWA funds were spent on school buildings, including the building of 225 Negro schools and the renovation of 118 others.”
The Civil Rights Movement
(1955)- was a movement that started with African Americans, but later advanced to rights of women, ethnic and racial groups, and people with disabilities. The goal was to secure the individual rights that are guaranteed by the US Constitution.
Indian Education Act
(1972)- “The IEA provided funds for supplemental programs to meet the special needs of Native American children in public schools both on and off the reservation (Webb, section 8.5, 2014).
I chose to do the difference and similarities of The Civilian Conservation Corps and the Indian Education Act.
These two are significant today because they are still they are still in order.
If I could change one outcome, it would be the Great Depression because when the market crashed, people lost money, jobs were low pay, and people were starving and becoming homeless.
The most important event that happened in each event is that if it wasn’t for these movements taking place, we would not have equalization in our education where it is needed.

History of american education – chapter 7
This document provides a history of the influences on American education from the 1700s to the 20th century. It describes how education was originally primarily the responsibility of states and religious groups. Over time, compulsory public education expanded due to advocates like Horace Mann who argued education benefits society. Debates emerged around the purpose of education and different philosophies like vocational training versus classical education. Major 20th century influences included Brown v. Board of Education, which desegregated schools, and Sputnik, which increased the focus on academics and national defense. Progressive influences from philosophers like John Dewey also remained important. Ongoing debates around curriculum, standards, and accountability continue today.
My Take on Ginwright's Theory of Critical Social Capital
I explore the notion of Critical Social Capital through my lens of community engagement and parent support in education. I've felt this my entire life, and never knew there was a theory that was alive and well. My thoughts for my people is that we put too much of our faith, all of our eggs in the basket of the school house and don't put the same pressures/hopes into intergenerational mentorships, community-based organizations and the Black church.
10 idei care au influentat dezvoltarea sistemului de educatie american
The document summarizes 10 ideas that have influenced the development of American education. These include: 1) basic literacy for all supported by local communities in the 1640s; 2) the idea in the 1780s that education is essential for democratic government; 3) schools defining American identity in the 1790s; 4) the establishment of nonsectarian public schools in urban areas starting in the 1800s; 5) the common school movement of the 1830s-1900 to educate all children together; 6) the rise of the female schoolteacher from the 1840s-1950s; 7) schools and settlement houses assimilating immigrants while respecting cultures from the 1870s on; 8) John Dewey's progressive schools for
Presentation1
1) During the post-Civil War era, the US focused on Reconstruction and amending the Constitution. Schools aimed to assimilate new immigrants into American society through expanded curriculums promoting democratic values.
2) Progressive reformers believed in directing social change through science and education. Figures like Jane Addams established community centers providing educational opportunities for immigrants.
3) Major educational philosophers like Herbart and Froebel influenced American thought, emphasizing moral development, interest in learning, and viewing childhood as a distinct stage requiring play and self-guided learning tailored to development.
Modern American Education - Module 7
The document discusses the major changes in American education from the Progressive Era at the beginning of the 20th century to the present day, including the emergence of compulsory schooling, expanded curriculums, and the development of teachers' organizations like the NEA and AFT. It also examines key events like the Soviet launch of Sputnik that influenced education reform, as well as the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision that mandated desegregation of schools.
All slides (1940s 1950s)
The document summarizes key events in American history from 1940-1960, focusing on education. It describes how WWII dominated the 1940s, with women entering the workforce as men went to war. The GI Bill passed in 1944, allowing millions of veterans to attend college. In the 1950s, the baby boom increased demand for education. The 1954 Brown v. Board decision desegregated schools. The Cold War and Sputnik launch spurred the 1958 National Defense Education Act to strengthen math, science and foreign language education. Overall, this was a period of rapid expansion of education access and opportunities in the US.

The GI Bill passed in 1944, allowing millions of veterans to attend college. In the 1950s, the baby boom increased demand for education. The 1954 Brown v. Board decision desegregated schools. The Cold War and Sputnik launch spurred the 1958 National Defense Education Act to strengthen math, science and foreign language education. Overall, this was a period of rapid expansion of education access and opportunities in the US.
Module 7 modern_american_education
This document discusses the major changes in American education from the early 20th century through the present. It describes how education became compulsory nationwide by 1918 and began incorporating new subjects beyond basic academics. Significant events like the founding of teachers' organizations like the NEA and AFT helped professionalize teaching, while the Supreme Court's 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling declared racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional.
Education for All: The Push for Universal Schooling in 19th Century America
The 19th century was a period of profound transformation for American education. Amid the sweeping changes of the Industrial Revolution, the United States saw a fundamental shift from a loosely connected system of local, often voluntary schooling to a more standardized, state-supported public education system.
Education in the US
The document discusses education in the United States across five sections. It describes the public school system and its role in providing equal access to education. It outlines the educational ladder from elementary to post-secondary education, including different school types and inequalities. It discusses the history of racial inequality and segregation in education as well as efforts for desegregation. It also covers challenges with attending university, such as costs, and the emphasis on individual development. Finally, it defines multicultural education, its history and goals of respecting diversity and fair treatment for all groups.
History of education
The document provides a history of American schooling from the colonial period to the present. It outlines several major eras in American education including the colonial period, common school era, industrial era, progressive era, and post-World War II era. For each era, it describes changes to curriculum, teaching methods, and the societal factors influencing education. It also summarizes several major educational reform efforts from the 1950s to present such as No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top. In closing, it shares the author's perspective that educational reform should shift toward a more democratic and multicultural approach.

Chapter 17 Lecture Notes.pptx
Education has evolved over time in relation to societal and economic changes. In early societies, education was informal and focused on skills needed for survival. With industrialization, there was a need for universal education to create an educated workforce. Public schools aimed to assimilate immigrants through "Americanization." While education systems differ across countries in relation to their level of industrial development, schools generally serve functions like knowledge transmission, socialization, and perpetuating social inequalities through factors like unequal funding and teacher expectations. New technologies are changing education but many argue changes so far only make minor adjustments without addressing deeper flaws.
Curatorial Project 1 Presentation
The document provides an overview and outline of the chapters in the book "The One Best System: A History of American Urban Education" by David B. Tyack. It discusses the origins of rural education and the transition to urban school systems in the late 19th century. Key topics covered include the creation of centralized school boards dominated by business interests, conflicts over control and policies around issues like religion, ethnicity, and race in schools. Later sections address teacher training/certification reforms and challenges urban schools and students faced through the mid-20th century like overcrowding and struggles for racial justice and teachers' rights.

This document discusses establishing living historian clubs for youth interested in history. It suggests finding potential members at schools, reenactments, history competitions, and scouting programs. The document provides examples of existing living historian clubs and proposes developing an exchange program between groups. Overall, the goal is to create clubs that bring history to life for young people through hands-on experiences like reenacting and visiting historic sites.Gentrification in DC
Gentrification in Washington DC has occurred in waves since the 1930s. While often portrayed as inevitable and beneficial, gentrification actually imposes significant costs by displacing long-time residents and destroying communities. It is part of a global urban strategy that restructures cities in favor of wealthy residents at the expense of low-income populations. However, gentrification is not inevitable, as grassroots organizations have successfully fought displacement in the past by pressuring politicians. Alternative policies are needed that allow long-time residents to remain in their neighborhoods.
Education, Very Final
The article discusses the opportunity that Education Secretary Arne Duncan has to reform the American education system. Duncan sees the current economic crisis and national consensus for change as creating the perfect environment for significant education reform. Previous administrations focused more on elementary test scores, while Duncan wants to raise standards and graduation rates. However, experts question how the goals will be achieved and funded. The Obama administration believes education reform does not require major new legislation, but can be advanced through funding in the budget and using the bully pulpit. Duncan views the situation as an extraordinary chance to overhaul the uneven U.S. education system.

Gilt by Association
From 1945 to 1970, a new set of problems helped to transform higher education. After 1949, there was an explosion of enrollments due to governmental agencies that recognized that higher education had been proven effective, even duriing the war. This led to the creation of public policies at both state and federal levels.
Describe the "Golden Age" in American higher education. Then, analyze the impact of demographics and funding on higher education. Why do you think the GI Bill gained so much momentum? What are its benefits and drawbacks? How is it influenctial today?

This document discusses human capital-centered regional economic development and analyzes Philadelphia's biosciences sector as a case study. It outlines several analytical approaches used to understand regional occupational clusters and gaps, including occupational cluster analysis, industry/occupation cluster analysis, and gap analysis. These techniques help identify regional strengths and opportunities but require strong institutions to effectively translate analysis into coherent policy. The case of Philadelphia's early 2000s efforts shows how analytical results may be irrelevant without such institutions, due in part to challenges of regional governance and ambiguity around workforce development goals.The Bull & the Ballot Box: Art Museum Economic Strategies

From the Penn IUR and Penn GSE sponsored conference:
“Preparing Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Jobs in Metropolitan America: The Policy, Practice and Research Issues"
May 25-26, 2011
Organized by Laura Perna, a professor in Penn GSE, and Susan Wachter, a professor in Penn’s Wharton School, “Preparing Today’s Students for Tomorrow’s Jobs” explores the most effective institutional and public-policy strategies to be sure high school and college students and adult learners have the knowledge and skills required for future employment.
“The conference addresses such critical questions as: How do we define success with regard to the role of education in preparing students for work?” Perna said. “How well are different educational providers preparing future workers? What is the role of public policy in improving connections between education and work?
“It seeks to improve our understanding of several fundamental dimensions of this issue through insights from federal, state and local policy leaders, college administrators and researchers.”
Guest speakers include Eduardo Ochoa, assistant secretary of the U.S. Department of Education; former Pennsylvania Gov. Edward Rendell; Lori Shorr, chief education officer to Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter; Charles Kolb from the Committee for Economic Development in Washington, D.C.; Claudia Neuhauser from the University of Minnesota; Bethany Krom from the Mayo Clinic; and Harry Holzer from Georgetown University.
“Much recent attention focuses on the need to improve high school graduation and college degree completion. But, relatively less attention has focused on whether graduates and degree recipients have the skills and education required by employers,” Perna said.
The event is sponsored by the Penn’s Pre-Doctoral Training Program in Interdisciplinary Methods for Field-Based Research in Education, with funding from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute for Education Sciences in collaboration with Penn’s Institute for Urban Research.

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
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

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.
