  • Directing Focus and Enabling Inquiry with Representations of Practice: Written Cases, Storyboards, and Teacher Education
    Preservice Teacher Education 789 DIRECTING FOCUS AND ENABLING INQUIRY WITH REPRESENTATIONS OF PRACTICE: WRITTEN CASES, STORYBOARDS, AND TEACHER EDUCATION Patricio Herbst Nicolas Boileau Lawrence Clark University of Michigan University of Michigan University of Maryland [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Amanda Milewski Vu Minh Chieu Umut Gürsel University of Michigan University of Michigan University of Michigan [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] Daniel Chazan University of Maryland [email protected] We discuss affordances and liabilities of using a storyboard to depict a written case of a teacher’s dilemma that involves race, opportunity to learn, and student community. We rely on reflections by the teacher educator who authored the written case and later depicted it as a storyboard to use it with his preservice teachers (PSTs). The analysis involved, first, organizing the signifiers in each of the two representations of practice into what we call concentric spheres of stratification, and secondly, contrasting the various meanings attributed to signifiers by both the author and his PSTs. We suggest that the resources of storyboard allow for more inquiry and alternative narratives than is available from the single modality of text in the written case. Keywords: Equity and Diversity, Teacher Education-Preservice, Technology Introduction Motivated by the increasing use of multimodal representations of practice (e.g., video, animations, storyboards) in mathematics teacher education, we discuss affordances and constraints of such media and propose a framework for analyzing them. This contribution helps address the challenge of anticipating what meaning a group of preservice teachers (PSTs) will attribute to the complex system of signifiers included in a representation.

  • Reagan's Victory
    Reagan’s ictory How HeV Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison Foreword by William J. Bennett Reagan’s Victory: How He Built His Winning Coalition By Robert G. Morrison 1 FOREWORD By William J. Bennett Ronald Reagan always called me on my birthday. Even after he had left the White House, he continued to call me on my birthday. He called all his Cabinet members and close asso- ciates on their birthdays. I’ve never known another man in public life who did that. I could tell that Alzheimer’s had laid its firm grip on his mind when those calls stopped coming. The President would have agreed with the sign borne by hundreds of pro-life marchers each January 22nd: “Doesn’t Everyone Deserve a Birth Day?” Reagan’s pro-life convic- tions were an integral part of who he was. All of us who served him knew that. Many of my colleagues in the Reagan administration were pro-choice. Reagan never treat- ed any of his team with less than full respect and full loyalty for that. But as for the Reagan administration, it was a pro-life administration. I was the second choice of Reagan’s to head the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). It was my first appointment in a Republican administration. I was a Democrat. Reagan had chosen me after a well-known Southern historian and literary critic hurt his candidacy by criticizing Abraham Lincoln. My appointment became controversial within the Reagan ranks because the Gipper was highly popular in the South, where residual animosities toward Lincoln could still be found.

  • Clinical Associates
    CLINICAL ASSOCIATES A New Kind of Health Professional in South Africa “Clinical Associates will be competent, professional members of the public healthcare sector. They have the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes to function effectively in the district health system, primarily working under the supervision of qualified medical practitioners, to assist with emergency care, procedures, and inpatient care.” – Dr. Aaron Motsoaledi, National Minister for Health, South Africa. “In the Eastern Cape where our Clinical Associates are working, patients often travel great distances to go to hospital because local healthcare clinics are so understaffed. The Clinical Associates will help the doctors by relieving their workload, which will allow doctors to focus on more complex cases. Patients will be treated sooner and closer to their homes and that will help reduce the disease burden in South Africa and help improve overall patient outcomes. – Prof. Khaya Mfenyana, Executive Dean, Faculty of Health Sciences, Walter Sisulu University. “Clinical Associates will play a vitally important role in rural healthcare. From the outset, rural doctors have welcomed this new cadre of workers and have looked forward to working with them. Their support of the team in rural district hospitals will ensure better care for patients and will also enable doctors to engage in greater outreach to clinics.” – Prof. Ian Couper, Director, Centre for Rural Health, University of the Witwatersrand. “The Faculty is proud of the quality of its Clinical Associate Programme, and of the standards achieved by the first cohorts of students. We look forward to the graduates playing a vital role in ensuring access to quality care for all South Africans.” – Prof.

  • Physician Assistant History Society, Celebrating 15 Years: 2002-2017
    Physician Assistant History Society Physician Assistant History Society Celebrating 15 Years: 2002-2017 Issued: April 8, 2017 The Society for the Preservation of Physician Assistant History, Inc. - or more simply, the PA History (PAHx) Society - was incorporated on January 17, 2002. It was established to oversee and to provide funding for the Physician Assistant History Center established at Duke University in May 2001. On June 15, 2011, the Society became a supporting organization of the National Commission on Certification of Physician Assistants (NCCPA) located in Johns Creek, GA. Today, the Society is recognized as the preeminent leader in fostering the preservation, study and presentation of the history of the physician assistant profession. One of the Society’s missions is to illustrate how PAs have and continue to make a difference in the delivery of accessible, affordable and high quality health care services to American Society. 1 2 Foreword The history of the PA profession is a rich and compelling story that should never be lost, or forgotten. Dr. Reginald Carter, PhD, PA, had that foresight in 2000 when he published an article suggesting that a national office be established to “study, preserve and present the history of the PA profession.” With his strong commitment and dedication, Dr. Carter saw his vision come to fruition in 2002. As the PA History Society celebrates its 15th Anniversary in 2017, the interesting stories of the people, places and events that have shaped our profession for the past 50-years have been safely maintained for future generations to enjoy. Equally important, the history that PAs make today will continue to be safeguarded in the future.

  • Reagan Ranch Visit April 2018 by Kenneth W
    Reagan Ranch Visit April 2018 by Kenneth W. Barbi Summary I had the opportunity to visit the Reagan Ranch (Rancho del Cielo) on April 21st as a guest of Young America’s Foundation to see the preservation efforts of Ronald Reagan’s Santa Barbara White House where many of us worked in the 1980's. The Ranch was purchased from Ronald and Nancy Reagan in 1998 to provide the family financial resources to care for President Reagan’s health. Its new owner, Young America’s Foundation WWW.YAF.ORG, is a conservative youth centered political action organization. Background Quoting from author Brad Thor, “Young America’s Foundation is the largest youth outreach organization in the Conservative Movement and the only group that uses the power of the Reagan Ranch to shape future generations. The Foundation is the exclusive owner and operator of the Reagan Ranch, having worked with Ronald Reagan and the Reagan family since 1962 to advance freedom. Today, Young America’s Foundation hosts conferences and seminars at the Reagan Ranch to inspire young people and policy makers with President Reagan’s freedom philosophy of limited government, free enterprise, and a strong national defense.” The foundation hopes to make Rancho del Cielo the Mount Vernon and Monticello of the 20th Century. When the Ranch originally came on the market in the mid 1990's before Young America’s Foundation purchased it, there were unsuccessful efforts to have the Federal or California State Government buy it to preserve it as the real life home of a great US President. My April Visit When WHCA folks worked in Santa Barbara and at the Ranch, we learned a great deal about our humble President and no doubt have many fond memories of those days.

  • Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan
    OECD Development Pathways Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan OECD Development Pathways OECD Development Pathways Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan Social protection is at the heart of Kyrgyzstan’s development and is a priority of public policy. Pension coverage among today’s elderly is universal and a large number of contributory and non-contributory OECD Development Pathways programmes are in place to cover a wide range of risks. Kyrgyzstan has succeeded in maintaining the entitlements dating from the Soviet era while introducing programmes appropriate for its transition to a market economy. However, severe fi scal constraints have limited the coverage of these new arrangements and their capacity to adapt to challenges such as poverty, pervasive informality and emigration. Social Protection System The Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan comes at a time when imbalances and fragmentation of social protection provision are undermining its impact and jeopardising its long-term sustainability. This Review of Kyrgyzstan Review proposes a systemic approach to addressing these challenges consistent with the Government of Kyrgyzstan’s own commitment to developing a coherent and extensive social protection system. It examines the current and future challenges facing Kyrgyzstan and analyses the capacity of existing social protection programmes to confront them. It also analyses the fi nancing of social protection and the sector’s current institutional framework. Finally, it proposes specifi c policies for establishing a social protection system and Social Protection System Review of Kyrgyzstan optimising the design of its component programmes. 00 Consult this publication on line at http://dx.doi.org/10.1787/9789264302273-en This work is published on the OECD iLibrary, which gathers all OECD books, periodicals and statistical databases.
