  • The Implications of Project-Based Pedagogy for the Classroom Assessment Infrastructures of Science Teachers
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 434 931 TM 030 183 AUTHOR D'Amico, Laura TITLE The Implications of Project-Based Pedagogy for the Classroom Assessment Infrastructures of Science Teachers. SPONS AGENCY Illinois State Board of Education, Springfield.; National Science Foundation, Arlington, VA. PUB DATE 1999-04-00 NOTE 49p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (Montreal, Quebec, Canada, April 19-23, 1999). CONTRACT RED-9454729; MDR88-55582 PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Case Studies; Cooperation; *Educational Assessment; Educational Change; High Schools; Science Instruction; *Science Teachers; *Secondary School Teachers; *Teacher Attitudes; *Teaching Methods IDENTIFIERS *Infrastructure; Reform Efforts ABSTRACT As some reform-minded teachers have discovered, classroom assessment can serve as a vital tool for meeting the challenges associated with project science activity. In essence, it functions as an infrastructure that both students and teachers rely on as a mediational tool for classroom activity and communications. The research described in this paper investigated the classroom assessment infrastructures created by three teachers involved in the Learning through Collaborative Visualization (CoVis) Project from 1993-94 to 1995-96. Each of the three teachers under study either created a new course or rationally reformulated an old one in an effort to incorporate project-based science pedagogy and supporting technologies. Their instructional goals and the role projects played within them varied widely, as did their assessment infrastructures. This paper provides a brief case study of each course that outlines the complex relationship between their curricular and assessment designs. In addition, a cross-case analysis demonstrates the common challenges faced and solutions used by the teachers as they crafted assessment infrastructures in support of project-based science activity.

  • ARCHE Annual Report
    FY19 ARCHE Annual Report Summary of program status, activities, and finances of the Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education ARCHE ANNUAL REPORT HISTORY The Atlanta Regional Council for Higher Education (ARCHE) was founded in 1938 as the University Center in Georgia. Founding members of the organization were Agnes Scott College, the Atlanta College of Art, Columbia Theological Center, Emory University, the Georgia Institute of Technology and the University of Georgia. They formed the University Center in Georgia to share resources, avoid duplication, and facilitate collegiality among faculty. Membership continued to grow and included 19 public and private institutions of higher learning in the greater Atlanta region. TODAY As of 2012, ARCHE has focused and continues to manage programs that were deemed priority value to member institutions. The current staff consists of an Executive Director that manages the day to day operations and corporate responsibilities of the organization. The mission of ARCHE remains to bring its members together to collaborate in these programs. Hundreds of students each year register for courses on other member campuses via ARCHE's cross registration program, which offers students the opportunity for expand their horizons in other fields of study or campus settings. ARCHE's Library Council and library programs include a interlibrary sharing program which allows members to share to the collective resources of all member libraries. ARCHE provides a van that transports library exchange items to campuses three days a week. In addition, students and faculty at ARCHE institutions may visit libraries at other members to gain immediate access to materials that do not circulate.

  • Private Equity's Failing Grade AFR PESP 031618
    Private equity’s failing grade Private equity investment in for-profit colleges For more than a decade, private equity firms have helped drive growth in the for-profit college industry in the United States, acquiring and helping to grow chains including the Art Institutes, Argosy University, Walden University, the University of Phoenix, and Ashford University. In acquiring and investing in for-profit colleges, private equity firms have turned to their regular playbook of buying companies and layering on debt, but in this case, it is the largely the federal government that provides the debt and students, especially low-income students of color, who end up with that debt, often without having received an education that prepares them for a job. While the for-profit college industry has faltered in recent years, private equity has continued to make investments, notably Apollo Global Management’s acquisition of University of Phoenix owner Apollo Education Photo: Ryan McKnight (CC BY-SA 2.0) in early 2017. As the Trump administration rolls back the greater regulatory scrutiny the for-profit college industry has faced during the last several years, it is private equity that stands to benefit the most, posing continuing dangers to students, taxpayers, and the integrity of the federal financial aid system. Private equity firms that have invested in for profit colleges include: - Apollo Global Management (Apollo Education/ University of Phoenix) - KKR (Laureate Education/ Walden University, EDMC/ Art Institutes and Argosy University) - Goldman Sachs and Providence Equity (EDMC/ Art Institutes and Argosy University) - Warburg Pincus (Bridgepointe Education/ Ashford University) - Willis Stein & Partners, Landmark Partners and Vision Capital (Education Corp of America/ Brightwood College and Virginia College) - JLL Partners (Education Affiliates/ All-Star Career College and Fortis College) - TA Associates (Full Sail University and Vatterott Educational Centers) - Quad Partners (Blue Cliff College) A more comprehensive list is at the end of this report.
