  • Empowerment Resources Inc. 15Th Annual Journey Into Womanhood Awards Celebration
    Empowerment Resources Inc. 15th Annual Journey Into Womanhood Awards Celebration Warrior Women and Girls: Worth More Than Rubies Thursday, May 16, 2019 The River Club 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. Welcome Warriors to the 15th Annual Journey Into Womanhood (JIW) Awards Celebration. This evening, you’ll meet our 2019 JIW program participants as well as our high school senior, who is graduating from the JIW program, with plans to attend college in the fall. We are also honoring nine warrior women who are inspired to make a difference in our community. Last summer, I reflected on how remarkable it is that we were entering our 15th year for the Awards Celebration. It was also during that time that one of beloved core volunteers was putting on her warrior gear to fight an illness. For the first time, I met a real warrior who through it all, kept a big smile on her face and a sense of humor. I also reflected on women in our community who are everyday warriors, as well as women who have supported us throughout this journey. Thus, the theme for this year’s Celebration, Warrior Women. When JIW started 15 years ago, my short-term goal was to create a summer program to fill in a gap for teen girls. JIW has exceeded my expectations. A few program accomplishments include: 38 JIW graduates Average time for a girl to participate in the program is six years Awarded $25,000 in scholarships 75% of JIW alumnae return to give their time or treasure Because of the generosity of individuals and community organizations, Empowerment Resources and our family of programs are making an impact in the lives of youth and families.

  • Career and Professional Academy Enrollment and Performance Report, 2011-12
    Career and Professional Academy Enrollment and Performance Report, 2011-12 Florida Department of Education Division of Career and Adult Education Rod Duckworth, Chancellor February 2013 At a Glance In 2011-12, the fifth year of implementation of the Florida Career and Professional Education Act, school districts registered 1,511 high school and 56 middle school career and professional academies, representing all 67 of Florida’s school districts. This study found the following regarding enrollment patterns and student performance: The most frequent career cluster represented by academies was Information Technology with 284 registered academies followed by Health Sciences with 224 academies. High school academy students were most likely to be tenth-graders compared to the non- academy population, which is over-represented by ninth-graders. The distribution of students by race and gender among academy students was similar to that of non-academy students. Among the 185,414 high school students enrolled in career and professional academies, 38,209 or 20.6 percent, were reported as having earned one or more approved industry certifications going back to the 2008-09 school year. In the 2011-12 school year, 28,533 high school academy students earned 32,004 certifications with a pass rate of 84.3 percent. Middle school academy students had lower average GPAs while high school academy students had higher average GPAs than their non-academy counterparts. Middle school academy students were more likely to have been chronically absent than non-academy students while high school academy students were less likely than their peers to have exhibited absenteeism. There was no clear pattern indicating that academy students were more or less likely to have been subjected to disciplinary action than non-academy students.

  • Andre Reed and the Hall of Fame a Way of Evaluating Pass Receivers
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 19, No. 5 (1997) Andre Reed and the Hall of Fame A Way of Evaluating Pass Receivers By Keith Joyner I was watching a Denver-Buffalo Monday Night Football game about three years ago and heard something that made my ears perk up. After Andre Reed made a catch for a first down, Dan Dierdorf said that most people would be amazed to find out that Reed had 600 pass receptions, and he suggested that with that number of catches, Reed was probably headed for the Hall of Fame. I have to admit that I was surprised that Andre Reed had that many receptions. The Hall of Fame comment took me by surprise as well. I had never considered Andre Reed a potential Hall of Fame candidate, so I decided to examine the issue further. In reviewing Andre Reed's Hall of Fame qualifications, I always come back to Bill James. Ever since I was a teenager, I have been reading James' baseball books, and a constant theme in his books is perspective. Anytime he reviews a player, team, or era, he always tries to maintain historical perspective. In reviewing a ballplayer, he will try to view the player's accomplishments in relation to the other players of the era. If many ballplayers hit .350 (as happened during the 1920's) hitting .350 isn't as significant an accomplishment as hitting .350 in an era where no one else does (as happened in the 60's) One of the first issues I thought I had to face in determining whether or not Andre Reed's stats were of Hall of Fame caliber was the issue of perspective.

  • Mayor Alvin Brown City of Jacksonville Education Initiatives
    MAYOR ALVIN BROWN CITY OF JACKSONVILLE EDUCATION INITIATIVES Presented by Dr. Annmarie Kent-Willette Education Commissioner October 31, 2013 Jacksonville University 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Education and the City of Jacksonville 3 The Need 4 Challenges 5 Mayor Alvin Brown’s Educational Goals 5 Mayor Alvin Brown’s Educational Initiatives 6 Mayor’s Mentors 6 Learn2Earn 9 Educational Summit 11 Conclusion 14 2 EDUCATION AND THE CITY OF JACKSONVILLE With a population of more than 860,000 people spread among more than 840 square miles, Jacksonville is Florida’s largest city in terms of city-limits population and surface area. Nearly 24% of that population is under the age of 18 and the Duval County Public Schools system claimed more than 125,000 students in 2012. The public school system accounted for 75% of school aged children in Jacksonville, as another 25% attended private schools or were homeschooled.1 Jacksonville, Florida Mayor Alvin Brown took a significant step toward enhancing and emphasizing the city’s education system and establishing a national example for lifelong learning when he signed an executive order creating Jacksonville’s Education Commissioner’s Office on August 19, 2011 (City of Jacksonville, 2011). The office represents a partnership between City Hall and Jacksonville University to enhance the quality of learning for people of all ages and economic dispositions under the larger argument that setting the foundation for a smarter city carries a multitude of long-term economic rewards. Despite having no fiduciary or statutory authority (Mitchell, 2009) – i.e., neither funding nor administrative power – the Education Commissioner has been instrumental in setting a cradle-to-grave tone for the benefit of education in Jacksonville.
