...Tenesha Huffer Literature Review Teacher Retention in School System The school teacher turnover rates fluctuate each year the recruitment and retention problem varies across the United States. Due to the Adequate Progress objectives for improved achievements and No Child Left Behind Act, there is a great demand for qualified school teacher (Piecki 2003). These teachers across the nation are struggling to rethink middle school, particularly in cities were the challenge of adolescent volatility, spiking violence and lagging academic performances are more acute (Brown & Rollenfson 2001). Some external characteristics of school district are also related to school teacher retention rates. Many schools have a high number of minority student, low student achievement, and high poverty level. It had been know that individual school district attractiveness can affect current and prospective teachers. Teachers both old and new don’t want to remain at a school where the building is not kept clean (Newwell 2004). These are some things that effect school teacher retention rates. The school turnover rates comes a great expense, both in the negative cumulative effect on student achievement, and as a financial drain to the state and districts that repeatedly prepare, recruit and support teachers for the same position (Clark 2003). It is not the goal of any school district to lose teachers. Middle school teachers effect high school student’s achievement, which effect enrollment...

...and broadcast genres, that is anything from newspaper to chat show and, latterly, much more besides, as new media emerge in line with technological leaps. The study of ‘the media’ comes under the remit of media studies from perspectives such as their production and consumption, as well as their aesthetic form. The academic area of media studies cuts across a number of disciplines including communication, sociology, political science, cultural studies, philosophy and rhetoric, to name but a handful. Meanwhile, the object of study, ‘the media’, is an ever-changing and ever-growing entity. The study of ‘the media’ also comes under the radar of applied linguistics because at the core of these media is language, communication and the making of meaning, which is obviously of great interest to linguists. As Fairclough (1995a: 2) points out, the substantively linguistic and discoursal nature of the power of the media is a strong argument for analysing the mass media linguistically. Central to the connection between media studies and studies of the language used in the media (media discourse studies) is the importance placed on ideology. A major force behind the study of ideology in the media is Stuart Hall (see, for example, Hall 1973, 1977, 1980, 1982). Hall (1982), in his influential paper, notes that the study of media (or ‘mass communication’) has had a chequered past. He charts its early years from the 1940s to the 1960s as being dominated by what he terms sociological...

...| | | | | | | | The No Child Left Behind Act Outline “The No Child Left Behind Act” is the most recent reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) of 1965. This law holds the states as well as the schools accountable for the academic achievements of the students as funds are being supplied to the states for this purpose. This law requires quality teaching by highly qualified teachers and yearly assessment of student progress in English, mathematics and science skills. The progress of the students needs to be reported in terms of percentage of students scoring at the ‘proficient’ or higher level. Different subgroups categories need also report the progress annually. A standardized test method has been chosen in each state and based on the scores in that test the performance level of the students and their schools is judged. This law acquired huge range of controversy since its implementation...

...disclosures and the effect of these disclosures. There are various factors which determine the extent of disclosures like the size of the firm, industry, high visibility, etc. Introduction Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is now prominent and evident more than ever due to the emphasis laid on businesses regarding environmental, social and ethical issues. This is because over the recent years, there have been social, political and economic pressures on corporate management to pay attention on social and environmental consequences of corporate activities. These pressures motivated the corporate management to actively participate in a wide range of social welfare activities. CSR now-a-days covers almost all issues like the use of child labor; inequality of employment; environmental impact; involvement in local community; products’ safety; company cultures; brand image and reputation. Apart from this, companies are now disclosing these activities in their annual reports, and one of the parameters to judge the performance of a company is CSR reporting. Corporate Social Responsibility CSR is defined by Naylor (1999) and mentioned in the work of Douglas et al. (2004) as “the obligation of managers to choose and act in ways that benefit both the interests of the organization and those of society as a whole.” Commission of the European Communities defines CSR as a concept by which “companies decide voluntarily to contribute to a better society and a cleaner...

...were tested. The grade levels were between 2-5. The study took place over 16 weeks across 24 teachers. 8 teachers were assigned randomly to just explicit teaching. 8 were assigned to explicit teaching and peer tutoring, and 8 teachers served as the control. Explicit teaching occurred during group reading instruction, and peer tutoring occurred during independent reading time. There was no significant increase in reading achievement on explicit teaching but the study did indicate an increase in achievement in the experimental classrooms which included the peer tutoring piece. This showed that peer tutoring was beneficial to the students and increased their achievement. A limitation of the study was the size of the experiment, although 24 teachers is sizable to many of the other studies, it is not comparable in an absolute sense, it is still a small representation of the whole. All of the teachers were also volunteer which does not give a good sample of general education classroom with LD students as well. This study was able to show how same age peer tutoring can have a successful impact on reading achievement, specifically on students with learning...

Fisk, University of Central Florida INTRODUCTION Services marketing play a major role in the economies of the United States and the entire world, this has been indicated by the increased interest in the etiquette of how most people are taking it up, the past decade reflects a growing appreciation of the part they play in the frugalities. Lovelock 1991, states that services are said to be approximately amounting to seventy per-cent of the Gross National Product of the United States and the world, and supporting the same notion is Bateson 1989 who indicates that three quarters of those employed in some countries labour in service sector occupations Berry 1980, Sasser 1976, Zeithaml, and Parasuraman 1985 have given significant attention to how the marketing of services is distinguishing from the marketing of goods. The simultaneity of production and consumption of the service product is one key characteristic that differentiates services marketing, according to the above mentioned scholars and researchers. They noted that services exist only in the time in which they are rendered and they cannot be disassembled. Essentially, services are fashioned from the interaction between service providers and customers and, as such, service quality is comprised of both process and outcome dimensions. These various aspects of service delivery underscore the notion that services are complex, behavioural...

...SPOTLIGHT ON THE NEW MARKETING ORGANIZATION Spotlight HBR.ORG ARTWORK Markus Linnenbrink DIEDRITTEDIMENSION, 2011 JVA/Prison, Düsseldorf Rath, Germany The Ultimate Marketing Machine Most marketing organizations are stuck in the last century. Here’s how the best meet the challenges of the digital age. by Marc de Swaan Arons, Frank van den Driest, and Keith Weed July–August 2014 Harvard Business Review 55 SPOTLIGHT ON THE NEW MARKETING ORGANIZATION In the past decade, what marketers do to engage customers has changed almost beyond recognition. With the possible exception of information technology, we can’t think of another discipline that has evolved so quickly. Tools and strategies that were cutting-edge just a few years ago are fast becoming obsolete, and new approaches are appearing every day. Yet in most companies the organizational structure of the marketing function hasn’t changed since the practice of brand management emerged, more than 40 years ago. Hidebound hierarchies from another era are still commonplace. Marketers understand that their organizations need an overhaul, and many chief marketing o cers are tearing up their org charts. But in our research and our work with hundreds of global marketing organizations, we’ve found that those CMOs are struggling with how to draw the new chart. What does the ideal structure look like? Our answer is that this is the wrong question. A simple blueprint does not exist. Marketing leaders instead must ask, “What...

...CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION Rock Music in the Philippines is performance arts composed in various genre and styles. The rock music of the Philippines is a mixture of indigenous foreign countries. The United States occupied the Islands in 1898 until 1946, and introduced American blues folk music, Rock &Blues, and rock and roll became popular. In the late 1950s, native performers adapted Tagalog lyrics for North American rock and roll music, resulting in the seminal origins of Philippine rock. The most notable achievement in Philippine rock of the 1960s was the hit song "Killer Joe," which propelled the group "Rocky Fellers" which reached number sixteen on the American radio charts. Up until the 1970s, popular rock musicians began writing and producing in English. In the early 1970s, rock music began to be written using local languages, with bands like the Juan Dela Cruz Band being among the first popular bands to do so. Mixing tagalog, and English lyrics.
