...Suspension Nation Précis Lisa Bloom’s book, Suspicion Nation, provided insights to the story of the shooting of Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida in 2012. In the book, the author analyzed the underlying cause of the tragedy and the unfair treatment of African Americans ever since the era of slavery. The author also adopted many evidences and experiments to prove her statement and support her argument, so that readers can sympathize the unfairly treated African Americans and pursue true racial equality that contain no racial biases. In the beginning, the author cited the example of sociology professor LePiere and his survey conducted in 1930s. The example proved that the surveys often contain answers conformed by the society instead of measurement of actual situation. Although people don't want to be called racist, they still show certain racial biases. Some social scientists creatively put...

...Around 1981, Francis Ford Coppola received a letter from a librarian at Lone Star middle school. The text stated, “ We are all so impressed with the book, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, that a petition has been circulated asking that it be made into a movie. We have chosen you to send it to. In hopes that you might also see the possibilities of a movie, we have enclosed a copy of the book.” The written document was signed by 110 little signatures who were eager for Coppola to make a film. Since he couldn’t resist it, he decided to make one. Two years later, on March 25 The Outsiders was released. As any film director should, he tried to keep the movie close to the original novel by S.E Hinton. However, movies and books are two different ways...

...Plagiarism is defined as: the act of using another person's words or ideas without giving credit to that person: the act of plagiarizing something (Merriam-Webster.com). Many schools consider plagiarism to be their number one reported violation of the Honor Code. Plagiarism just doesn’t refer to the written word. Plagiarism can happen anytime you borrow from the original source and do not give proper credit. Music, images, videos, even tweets can be effected by plagiarism. Students can even plagiarize themselves. In May 2012, Turnitin.com conducted a survey called The Plagiarism Spectrum. They interviewed close to 900 educators and asked them to rank the 10 most common types of plagiarism they saw in their classrooms. The ten most common...

...Research Proposal Rhondalyn J. Cornett Grand Canyon University TCH-587 October 1, 2014 Abstract In this action research project the researcher talked to several teachers discussing the concerns they had in education. Most teachers cited discipline in the schools as the concern they most worry about in their classrooms. I researched several articles where schools have implemented School Wide Positives Behaviors intervention Supports (SPBIS) were put into place schools showed a decrease in discipline and an increase in academic achievement. In this action cycle we implemented the first intervention to see what significant data could be reviewed. Steps in Action Research Educators use action research just about every day they are working with students. The educator could be teaching a lesson or looking a class discipline you are using action research without realizing it. The steps in action research are: Identification of the problem area, Collection and organization of data, Interpretation of data, the action based on the data, and finally reflection (Ferrance, 2000). The first step in action research is to identify the problem. If there is a discipline problem in the classroom, the first question may be why? What is causing the inappropriate behavior? Is the problem something that the educator can help solve? When choosing where to begin in your research the educator will need to ask himself several questions. The questions should higher-order in nature. The questions...

...Creating a Returning Student Concierge position would be beneficial for Chattahoochee Technical College Angela C. Reisen SNHU HEA 520 Abstract Chattahoochee Technical College (CTC) would benefit from having a Returning Student Concierge in several different ways. A Returning Student Concierge “is the single-point of contact at a college or university who helps returning adult students navigate the application, enrollment, and registration processes and overcome barriers to college success” (Education, 2010). Through my research, the amount of material I found on this subject was limited, but what I did find has shown me this position is well needed at CTC. Being that I work with current students on a daily basis I feel this is what our college needs to keep our retention rate up for the returning population of our student body. After reading my point of view, I hope you will be persuaded to believe in the importance of this position as well.

I will go over the classroom rules as well as the schools rules and what is expected of them. In the beginning students will be allowed to pick their own desk. Each desk will have a desk name plate and a sharpie will be passed around so they can place their names at the spot they have chosen to be their seat for the school year unless changes have to made by me throughout the school year. We will also wear nametags and play a few games to introduce ourselves and to get comfortable in our class with each other. I am not collecting pencils and etc. those things are to be kept inside of the children’s desk so they have access to what they need. The only things I will collect are baby wipes, paper towels, Ziploc bags and sharpies.
