  • Index of Educational Terms 2Nd Edition Now with Farsi
    INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION RESEARCH FOUNDATION ® Index of Educational Terms 2nd Edition now with Farsi 1969-2019 Celebrating 50 years of service Index of Educational Terms We are pleased to present this 2nd edition of the Index of Educational Terms, as part of IERF’s 50th anniversary celebration. This handy resource can trace its beginnings to the 1979 publication of The Glossary of Foreign Educational Terms. Developed by Theodore Sharp, IERF’s co-founder, The Glossary focused on a selection of languages from Europe and Latin America. The Index of Educational Terms, compiled by IERF evaluators, provides glossaries from 11 major languages around the world, including Arabic, Chinese and Russian. This new edition, which now also includes Farsi, is intended as a handy tool for admissions officers, credentials analysts and registrars, the Index of Educational Terms focuses on the most commonly used terms found on international academic records. We are grateful for the enthusiastic feedback we have received over the years, since its first release in 2012. I would like to give special thanks to the following individuals for their hard work and for making this possible: Editors: Emily Tse Alice Tang Contributors: Liana Amelova Andrej Molchan Andrea Ben Zion Maryam Rawson Daniel Borhanian Irene Romo Joshua Everett Amy Santiago Matthew Fisher Traci Wells Victoria Haydenko Alvin Yin I-Hsing Lin Nina Zhao Finally, I would also like to express my appreciation to our colleagues, Ujjaini Sahasrabudhe and Herman de Leeuw, for their kind support and feedback.

  • Proposed Academic Recognition Changes
    Proposed Academic Recognition Changes Principal: Sean Galiher Director Counseling Center: John Westra Our Journey ● 17.18 School Year ● Student Voice ● Is there a better way? ● Social and Emotional Learning/Wellness ● Research ○ Alternative Approaches ○ University Feedback ● Parent, Student and Teacher Surveys ● Latin Honors proposal Student Statements ● Past valedictorian ○ “The Val system created the expectation that learning no longer mattered and that the only important thing was surviving and outlasting those around you.” ● Current front runners Student Feedback ○ Learning environment ○ Course selections ○ Unhealthy competition ○ Student Survey ■ 62% Student Feedback Survey results: Parent Feedback “I think it would be an excellent idea for Penn to transition to a different system for recognizing academic achievement and incorporate a Latin designation. As a college administrator, I can say the rationale provided in the email was exactly correct.” Parent Feedback Survey Results Parent Feedback “Although my son has not yet altered his course selection for reasons of class rank attainment, he has raised the question about whether he should. That he would even consider this question and contemplate not taking courses in which he has genuine interest simply to pursue a class ranking is indicative that the current class rank system is distorting the thinking and choices of students in a negative way. I applaud your raising the question of adopting an alternative academic recognition system, and wholeheartedly support the proposal to move toward a Latin honors system.” Teacher Feedback Survey Results University Feedback • Applicants are holistically reviewed within the context of the school’s processes and systems. Essays and other distinguishing factors impact admission, not Valedictorian/Salutatorian status or class rank.

HS Plattsburg HS Rock Port HS Rockwood HS Savannah HS Smithville HS Stewartsville HS Wentzville HS PLATTE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL-Platte City, MO http://www.plattecountyschooldistrict.com//site/Default.aspx?PageID=3421 At Platte County R-3 School District, we prepare our graduates for college, career and citizenship. Platte County High School uses the laude system to recognize graduates for their success in rigorous programs. These designations use weighted grades: Cum Laude (3.8-3.99), Magna Cum Laude (4.0-4.19) and Summa Cum Laude (4.2 and above). The Board of Education approved the new academic recognition and eliminated the class ranking system beginning with the 2011-12 school year for the following reasons: High Achievement: Students are more focused on the educational value of their class selection. They choose to take a broader range of course work to balance and improve their educational experience - rather than selecting a course for the potential weighted grade to increase their “top 10” class ranking. Top Performing Schools: Schools around the state and nation can be vastly different. Students from different high schools may have selected vastly different courses and may have earned different grades - but have the same class rank to report to colleges as Platte County students in their top performing schools.

  • Sixty-Fourth Commencement Ceremony
    2021 SIXTY-FOURTH COMMENCEMENT CEREMONY FEBRUARY 6, 2021 VIRTUAL A A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Congratulations! It is an honor to celebrate commencement with you and the family, friends, and colleagues who supported you on this journey. Your commitment to improving your life and the lives of those around you is inspiring and energizing to all of us at Walden—especially through the challenges of 2020. Earning your degree is an impressive accomplishment, but the true reward will be what you accomplish with your new knowledge. Your passion for lifelong learning and making a difference connects you with our more than 153,000 alumni around the world—including me, a 2004 PhD graduate. I hope that you are as proud as I am to call Walden University my university and that you will stay connected to our community through the many opportunities available in our active alumni association. Ward Ulmer ’04, PhD President 1 WALDEN UNIVERSITY COMMENCEMENT SPEAKERS DR. MYRON ROLLE Dr. Myron Rolle is a former NFL safety, Rhodes Scholar, and neuroscience resident at Massachusetts General Hospital. His rare combination of experience in the fields of education, sports, and medicine has taken him from the football field to the front lines, where he currently works and volunteers to aid the hospital in the fight against the COVID-19 global pandemic. Dr. Rolle was drafted by the Tennessee Titans in 2010, playing for three seasons before enrolling at the Florida State University (FSU) College of Medicine and, eventually, Harvard Medical School in 2017. Now in his fourth year of Harvard’s residency program, he credits his dedication, determination, preparedness, and adaptability forged on the football field for having primed him to successfully transition from professional sports to a career in medicine.
