Separate & Unequal: How Higher Education Reinforces the Intergenerational Rep...CEW Georgetown
Despite growing minority enrollment in higher education, there remain two separate postsecondary pathways for whites and minorities. Whites are overrepresented at elite colleges while minorities attend open-access colleges in larger numbers. Elite colleges have greater resources which lead to higher completion rates, advanced degree attainment, and future earnings compared to open-access colleges. As a result, the current educational system reinforces racial inequality and low social mobility in the United States.
This is a good material to prepare for SAT writing test and the test of University of Washington called WSA. Hope you learn something from it and think this is useful, thank you!
Educational options for students with disabilities have come a long way in the last 30 years, and there are a great range of services available for students with disabilities at both the K-12 and postsecondary levels. However, HOW students go about getting those services is vastly different from high school to college. At the college level, receiving the accommodations and services a student deserves requires a lot more self-advocacy on the part of the student. This presentation gives a quick rundown of the differences between high school and college for exceptional learners, and steps they can take to support their success.
The document analyzes enrollment trends in higher education over the past 15 years and finds that the system reinforces racial inequalities. It finds that 82% of new white enrollments have gone to the most selective 468 colleges, while 72% of Hispanic and 68% of African American enrollments have gone to two-year open access schools. As a result, whites attend colleges with greater resources that lead to higher completion rates, graduate enrollment, future earnings and degrees - even for equally qualified students - perpetuating racial inequalities across generations.
Native American students face significant challenges in education. They have high school graduation rates around 50%, less than half the national average, and only about 10% go on to complete a college degree. Some key issues Native American students struggle with include low funding for schools, lack of encouragement to pursue higher education, cultural barriers, and lack of support systems. Organizations are working to address these challenges by providing support programs, college preparation resources, financial assistance, and creating a sense of community for Native students.
Time to TRANSform: Creating Transfriendly Spaces & PlacesDana D. Hines, PhD
The transgender population is increasingly becoming more visible, thereby increasing the need for gender diversity and inclusion education. Staff at institutions such as universities, places of employment, and health care settings should have a basic knowledge level regarding the transgender population, the differences between gender identity and sexual orientation, and ways to make their workplace setting more transgender friendly.

Indiana University Bloomington was founded in 1820 and is the flagship campus of Indiana University's eight campuses. It offers over 200 undergraduate and graduate programs across 12 schools and has around 32,000 undergraduate and 10,000 graduate students. Freshman applicants are typically required to have a B average or higher in academic classes as well as SAT scores between 1110-1290 or ACT scores of 25-30.
The article summarizes the top five liberal arts colleges in the United States according to U.S. News rankings. The rankings emphasized factors like class size, acceptance rates, and student outcomes over standardized test scores. The top five schools include Williams College, Amherst College, and Swarthmore College from the Northeast as well as Pomona College from California and Wellesley College from Massachusetts. All of the schools have small class sizes and score well in metrics like social mobility and improving student circumstances after graduation.
One in eight American youth will not graduate high school, dropping out every nine seconds. Certain high schools known as "dropout factories" disproportionately affect ethnic minority students from low-income families and neighborhoods. Poor academic performance, especially in reading and math, is a strong predictor of dropping out, as are lack of support systems and a challenging socioeconomic environment. Addressing dropout rates could boost the economy and break cycles of poverty.
This document summarizes information about the TRiO Student Support Services program at Eastern Illinois University. The TRiO program provides academic and personal support services to help students from low socioeconomic backgrounds succeed in college. Eligible students must be first-generation college students, meet income requirements, or have a documented disability. Services include academic assistance, career counseling, tutoring, financial guidance, and cultural enrichment activities. Studies cited have found students from low-SES backgrounds face barriers to academic success and need extra support to enhance their potential. The TRiO program aims to help students overcome challenges through personal growth and achieve their academic goals.
The document discusses efforts in Ohio to increase support for foster youth pursuing higher education. It outlines the purpose of establishing liaisons at universities, barriers faced by foster youth, available resources like tuition assistance, and the roles and responsibilities of campus liaisons in helping foster youth enroll and complete college degrees.
The document provides information about career and college readiness pathways, including the need for some college or job training, community college options like guided pathways programs, transferring from community college to CSU and UC schools, comparing CSU and UC requirements and admissions, considering private college options, and contacting the author for more information about applying to college.

Academic research on student college choice has expanded dramatically over the last five decades. Much of the impetus for this research was the growing interest among institutional policy makers on how they might influence student enrollments. In this webinar, we will provide an overview of research about college choice that is relevant for admissions and enrollment management professionals. In particular, we will review the factors that influence students’ decisions and the timing of their college choice process. We will discuss differences among white, African American, Latino, and Asian American students with respect to these factors, as well as research on the factors influencing nontraditional students’ college choice. Throughout this webinar, we will highlight the relevance of this body of research for institutional policies and practices.
The document summarizes niche data from surveys of students at multiple universities regarding why they chose those schools:
- For ISU students, top reasons were caring professors, specific majors like nursing and communications, variety of majors, career opportunities, and challenging but fair classes.
- At the University of Iowa, students cited athletics like football, proximity to friends/family, large campus size, and course offerings like pre-med and nursing.
- Mizzou attracted students with its traditions but progressive culture, campus beauty, program reputation, large campus size suited to its athletics, and strong Greek life.
- Location was the primary reason for choosing NIU, while familiarity, programs,

Rising Scholars is a program that aims to provide educational opportunities to high school graduates and GED recipients by helping them apply to and attend college. It seeks to level the playing field for students with a range of GPAs and give those who have underachieved or need a second chance the opportunity to obtain higher education. The program provides support services to students attending up to 12 partner colleges and aims to help students through the application process and continue extracurricular activities. It hopes to serve as many students as possible who want a college degree and support them from application through graduation.
There is a growing population of homeless college students in the United States that faces unique challenges compared to other students. These students must worry about food and shelter in addition to their studies. While some colleges have programs to help homeless students, there is no nationwide effort. The document argues that the Department of Education should investigate ways to assist homeless college students through dedicated campus offices and a federal commission to collect data and propose solutions. Having confidential campus resources could help homeless students complete their education despite their circumstances.
This document discusses the debate around single-gender education. It notes that while private schools commonly use single-gender models, public schools have also increasingly offered single-sex classrooms and schools. Research on the impact of single-gender versus coeducational learning has yielded mixed results. Advocates argue it can boost outcomes for girls in subjects like math and encourage collaboration among boys. However, critics assert it can promote gender stereotyping and not prepare students for diverse work and social environments. With valid arguments on both sides and no consensus from studies, the document concludes the decision comes down to each family choosing what style best suits their child's needs.
The document discusses the differences between education and schooling. Education refers to the social institution through which society transmits knowledge, skills, and values, while schooling refers to formal instruction under trained teachers. It then examines various functions of schooling, such as socialization, cultural transmission, integration, and social placement. It also discusses latent functions of schools and analyzes schooling through functionalist and conflict perspectives. Some key issues addressed are the reproduction of social inequality through schools, problems in schools like violence and discipline, and debates around academic standards, school choice, special education, and 21st century schooling with technology.
Young people's perspectives on fairness in education were explored through focus groups with students aged 15-18 from four different school settings in the North East of England. Analysis of 114 student statements found that approximately one third related to ideas of equal opportunity and distributional justice, one third concerned relational justice and challenging marginalization, and a smaller portion discussed fair process. Students provided examples of both fairness and unfairness from their own experiences. Current education policy focuses narrowly on closing achievement gaps and raising aspirations, but young people view fairness in more complex, personal terms that are not fully supported by policy approaches. A broader conceptualization of social justice is needed to ensure all students receive a good education.
The American school system consists of pre-school (ages 3-5), primary/elementary school (kindergarten ages 5-6 and grades 1-6 ages 6-12), middle school (grades 7-8 ages 12-14), and high school (grades 9-12 ages 14-18). After high school, students can attend colleges or universities for higher education.
The document discusses the "Top 10%" rule in Texas which guarantees students graduating in the top 10% of their high school class automatic admission to any public university in Texas. It was implemented in 1997 in response to a court ruling banning affirmative action. While improving diversity, it puts strain on UT-Austin's flexibility and attracts fewer out-of-state students. There are arguments that it encourages segregation and causes students to transfer schools for easier classes. The UT president and some studies argue for abolishing the rule to produce a more well-rounded student body.
Here are the key classist assumptions I see being made in some of the statements:
- Assuming low-income students would be unqualified and unable to do the academic work or articulate their views as well as others.
- Framing increasing socioeconomic diversity as necessarily coming at the expense of other types of students (e.g. athletes, legacies), rather than finding ways for all types to be represented.
- Implying low-income students' backgrounds would somehow damage the institution or student body.
- Failing to recognize one's own class privilege in critiquing proposals to increase accessibility.
- Denying that class still impacts students' experiences even if not explicitly discussed between friends. The campus
Schooling System In The USA | Mauric WigleyMaurice Wigley
The US education system is decentralized, with control at the state and local levels. It typically consists of elementary school (K-5), middle school (6-8), and high school (9-12). Education is compulsory until age 16 in most states. Standardized tests like the SAT and ACT are required for college admission. Parental involvement is encouraged through organizations like PTAs.
High school dropout rates have declined since the 1970s but remain a significant problem. Reasons students drop out include low grades, feelings of unsafety, inability to get along with peers, pregnancy, family issues, and substance abuse. Dropping out has negative lifelong consequences, including much lower annual and lifetime earnings, higher rates of unemployment, poverty, poor health, and incarceration. As teachers, addressing the dropout issue will be important to help students graduate and achieve better life outcomes.

The document is a satirical pitch from a fictional creative agency. It uses exaggerated language and nonsensical jargon to mock how some agencies try to impress clients with buzzwords rather than meaningful strategies. While providing no real insights or solutions, it touts the agency's intuition and promises to disrupt the client's business without understanding its needs. The tone grows increasingly absurd and confrontational as it lists arbitrary agenda items and signs off dismissively.
The document provides information about distance selling in Ukraine, including:
1) Distance selling in Ukraine has grown rapidly in recent years at 20-30% annually and now the association will publish regular info digests on the market.
2) Ukraine has a population of over 45 million people and distance selling offers opportunities to access this market as traditional retail is saturated while distance selling is still developing.
3) Ukrainian customers are loyal, especially when they feel attention from companies, and return rates are typically low at under 10%, showing potential for success in the market.

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
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.
How to Fix the Import Error in the Odoo 17Celine George
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.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
