The College Success Foundation (CSF) is a nonprofit organization that works to inspire underserved, low-income students in Washington D.C. to graduate from high school and complete college. It focuses on early college readiness programs, college advising, scholarships, alumni services, and advocacy. CSF's main programs are the Higher Education Readiness Opportunity program in 10 schools and the Achievers Scholar program in 6 east D.C. schools. These programs provide academic and social supports to help first-generation and underprepared students progress through high school and enroll in and complete college at high rates. Non-cognitive skills are also emphasized as important factors in college success.
Come hear the story about how four different education institutions in Rochester, NY - an independent K-12 school, a university, a community college, and a small, private college - joined forces through a summer learning program to support K-8 public school students in their community. We will share how this innovative partnership evolved, the diverse reasons for which each institution entered the partnership, the unexpected synergies that have developed, and how this model is being replicated throughout the nation.
Low-income students who have been accepted to college face significant challenges
during the summer after high school. Preliminary research findings across studies indicate that
up to one-third of college-intending high school graduates either change their planned college
during the summer or fail to enroll at any college in the fall. Neither the high school nor the
college takes responsibility for students during the vulnerable summer period. This workshop
introduces participants to program interventions conducted in multiple regions in the summer of
2011 for the purpose of stemming the “summer melt” of college-intending students. Attendees
will use a model of summer intervention practices to consider the elements of effective summer
assistance and apply these principles to their own work. Detailed research results from the 2011
Boston Summer College Connects intervention will form the foundation of discussion and
group case study about best practices in summer programs and evaluation research design.
Have you or your colleagues grappled with the most effective ways to engage parents in the education of their students? Do you feel like your strategies have little impact? The primary goal of Families United in Educational Leadership (FUEL) is to involve families in the process of helping their student’s access higher education. This workshop will outline FUEL’s program model, explain the strategies used to engage families, and guide workshop participants through the process of determining how to most effectively reach families in their own communities. Through revealing the successes and challenges of implementing this program at nine schools and community organizations, workshop participants will leave this session with a set of steps to implement in their own contexts to encourage and incentivize family engagement.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence.
