The document discusses the impact of mentoring on academically at-risk students and their academic outcomes. It summarizes several studies that found mentoring can positively impact students' attitudes, behaviors, and academic performance by improving relationships with teachers and parents and boosting academic self-confidence. However, one large study found no significant impacts of mentoring on academic achievement, engagement, or behavior. The effects of mentoring depend on characteristics of the students, mentors, and program context. The document also provides resources for mentors and an overview of a K-12 journey map for college and career planning.

This document summarizes a discussion about accountability challenges for schools serving opportunity youth. It outlines fundamental considerations for authorizers, including clearly defining these student populations and establishing enrollment thresholds. While authorizers typically require consistent performance measures, some request additional school-designed measures aligned with the mission. Reasons for charter denial include lack of focus on challenges, reliance on anecdotes over progress, and insufficient capacity evidence. Schools are advised to proactively work with authorizers to negotiate distinct measures using comparable schools. The discussion addressed developing comprehensive definitions, quantifying school design, and involving stakeholders in negotiations.

Recommendation presentation on a program to help aid in reducing high school drop out rates around the country.

The document summarizes three programs that aim to reduce high school dropout rates: Communities in Schools, Career Academies, and GradNation. It finds that Career Academies is the best option as it offers comprehensive resources and pathways at the lowest cost of around $159,000 per 200 students. While all three programs have helped reduce dropout rates, the author recommends implementing Career Academies on a national level through the Department of Education due to its combination of impact and affordability.

A college degree is one of the largest purchases of your life… Was your degree a good value? Do you feel like you got what you paid for? Anyone want a refund??? This presentation digs into consumerism and Student Return on Investment (SROI), and what it means for institutions.

This document summarizes a study examining the effects of institutional spending and resource allocation on cohort default rates at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The study was motivated by the fact that HBCUs have much higher cohort default rates than average, putting some at risk of losing federal student aid eligibility. It analyzes factors associated with reducing default rates at HBCUs that have been successful, hoping to identify practices that could help other HBCUs. The study uses a conceptual framework focusing on student retention to identify factors potentially related to default rate reductions. It analyzes spending in areas like instruction, academic support, and student services to determine which are most closely correlated with lower default rates. The

The document discusses the Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program's drug enforcement policy. The policy requires that current and new recipients be screened for drug use, and mandates drug testing if drug use is suspected. Those who refuse or test positive can have their benefits declined for at least six months. Legal action may also be taken depending on how their drug abuse impacts women and children. Adhering to the policy has been associated with improved health outcomes for recipients.

1) Community college students, especially low-income students, face high dropout rates due to both academic and non-academic challenges. Non-academic challenges include financial difficulties, food insecurity, homelessness, and lack of access to social services. 2) Single Stop aims to address this issue through a "one-stop shop" model that connects students to existing social services and benefits through screenings, applications assistance, and referrals. This helps students meet basic needs so they can focus on their studies. 3) By helping students access financial resources, handle other life challenges, and feel supported by their college, Single Stop hopes to increase persistence and completion rates. However, the impact may vary between colleges

Assuming most or all of you have a college degree or two and that your degree was the second or third biggest purchase of your life… Was your degree a good value? Do you feel like you got what you paid for? Anyone want a refund??? Are you still deriving benefits from the degree – or has the dividends shrunk over time? Do any of you wish you had shopped around more before attending the institution? What additional questions would you have asked? This presentation examines the rise of students as informed consumers.

Ask Michael E. Mark about his company’s procedures for making a big capital investment, and he is likely to refer you to the Flextronics International Corporate Policy Manual. It has 80 pages – all of them blank. Although Marks is Flextronics’ chairman and CEO, he says he sometimes lets subordinates such as Humphrey W. Porter, the head of Flextronics’ European operations, do multi-million dollar acquisitions without showing him the paperwork.  He disdains staff meetings at his San Jose (Calf.) headquarters, and he refuses to draw up an organization chart delineating his managers’ responsibilities.      One might think Marks’ style is too casual for a growing conglomerate. This is a giant that owns dozens of factories scattered over four continents and has big contracts with some of the most demanding corporate customers on earth, from Cisco Systems Inc. to Siemens. In recent years it has acquired manufacturing plants, design firms, and component makers in the United States, Europe and Asia. It also has landed huge manufacturing contracts with Motorola Inc. and Microsoft Corp.     As Marks sees it, the business of global contract manufacturing is all about speed. The time it takes to get a prototype into mass production and onto retail shelves across the globe can determine whether a leading-edge digital gadget succeeds or flops. And with the Internet and corporate makeovers rapidly reconfiguring entire industries, Marks thinks it’s a bigger sin to miss important opportunities than to make a mistake or two. So he doesn’t want to tie down his top managers with bureaucracy. One of Marks’ favorite dictums: “It’s not the big who eat the small. It’s the fast who eat the slow.”      So far Marks has managed to craft the right balance. A Harvard MBA who had run several small electronics makers, Marks helped engineer a takeover of Singapore domiciled Flextronics in 1993, when it was nearly bankrupt. After turning the company around, he began to rebuild. Flextronics became a favored supplier to companies like Cisco, 3Com, and Palm. Flextronics is poised to become the world’s second-largest contract manufacturer, after Milpitas (Calif.) based Solectron Corp. Beside the industrial parks in Hungary, it also has huge manufacturing campuses in Mexico, China and Brazil.      The basketball hoop hanging in Marks’ modest, somewhat disheveled office seems to sum up his self-image. Marks is a passionate player – even though he stands all of 5 ft. 2 in. Likewise, in the business world Marks seems determined to prove a point. One way or another, he’s convinced he can retain the agile management style of a start-up, while making Flextronics a global enterprise that can play in the big leagues.     1. Based on your reading of the case, describe Marks’ leadership process, style, behavior and the text term that best defines it. Do you think he is successful because of or in spite of his leadership approach?      2. What leadership theories covered in the chapter.

Nurses should advocate for policy issues by getting involved in lobbying. The American Nurses Association believes it is nurses' responsibility to advocate for patient safety, care standards, and healthy work environments. Nurses can make a difference by participating in professional organizations, staying informed on issues, and contacting legislators. When lobbying, nurses should keep messages short and focused, build relationships with legislative staff, and time requests appropriately in the legislative process.

Asian American Research Hello class, I hope this finds you all well!  For this week and the last we have been looking at an overview of Asian American Theatre, some of its origins, traditions, the rise of xenophobia against specific yet different Asian cultural groups, and Asian immigration over the last 150 years, as well as a brief look at where this culturally specific kind of Theatre and cinema stands today nationally and more locally with respect to the kinds of stories that are being told that are from an Asian P.O.V. as well as the actors that are cast to play these roles in the last 80 years of cinema, television and theater.   Consider your own overall outlook, knowledge and familiarity (including from our class) with Asian history in the U.S. and the potential struggles that Asian Americans have endured in the last century(s) with the  mass migrations in the middle of the 1800’s, the struggle of the Gold and Railroad industries,  the rise of wars and conflicts that set Asian Americans and immigrants against the prevailing attitudes in the U.S. about race in the last 150 years.   Looking at the Asian American experience in the U.S. is important as we consider the building blocks of our nation, with railroads, industry, wars, working and labor rights,  internment camps during WWII, the deep culture of education and rich traditionalism  that is so socially important to the overall history of this group of study, and the important contributions that we as a society have enjoyed from key figures in Asian American history.  We can all speak with a certain level of experience and knowledge, either directly or indirectly, to what we think would be important elements and issues to discuss within the Asian American culture. Your assignment for this week is to research our topic of Asian American Arts and find an article or video link that deals with this topic in some way and then respond to it with a response paper.  This can be topics of: 1. The Issue of "Yellow Casting" and it's affects on modern Cinema  2. Insufficient roles for Asians in Cinema, T.V. and Theatre  3.  Pay gap for Asian actors compared to white actors,  4. How many of the common stereotypes that we discussed are still seen and expressed in film and TV. today.  5. Highlighting an Individual Artist and their impact on pop culture and elevating Asian culture in some way:                     - Director(s)                     - Actor(s)                       - Playwright(s)/Screenwriter(s)                        - Any article or video you feel are relevant to our topic and this assignment that                             you can write a reaction to in line with this assignment Please upload your link with your 2-3 page reaction paper. (double space / MLA format) .

Asian Americans had been excluded from entering the U.S. for more than half a century through the litany of anti-Asian immigration legislation passed in the years (1882, 1917, 1924, 1934) leading up to WWII.  How did the 1965 Immigration Act (Hart-Cellar Act) change this situation? Why have so many well-educated Asians immigrated into the U.S. after the passage of this act? To what extent will Asian immigrants continue to enter the U.S. in the 21 st  century? Drawing upon evidence presented in the course reading (Fong's chapter), make a case that Asian immigrants will continue to come in a steady pace to the U.S., or slow down significantly, or halt altogether. .
