As part of understanding the meaning and process of educational change, students are asked to conduct a small research assignment on their chosen topic. This research assignment is planned during the second summer residency of the MES program and then undertaken and completed during the semester that the students are registered in the EDU 515 course. An experienced instructor with a doctoral degree works with the students, as a class, and guides them throughout the research experience. The students’ research assignments comply with the University of Alberta Standards for the Protection of Human Research Participants and the instructors of the EDU 515 course hold the ethics approval to have the class complete this research assignment. Please note that, unlike research conducted for a Masters thesis, the research completed in the MES program is a course-based assignment under the umbrella of a class ethics approval. For this reason, findings from the research assignment are discussed from this more specific context and the research is referred to as an “assignment”, rather than a study.

Update to Table 1 2 Prefa c e This paper has been developed by the Stronger Smarter Institute and is based on concepts and approaches that the Institute has developed over a number of years of running leadership programs for school and community leaders across Australia. The paper draws specifically on the published and unpublished work of Chris Sarra and David Spillman, but also incorporates concepts that have been developed by the Stronger Smarter Leadership Program facilitators and through group conversations with the entire 2014 Stronger Smarter Institute team. The paper introduces the concept of High-Expectations Relationships, which together with a ‘positive sense of cultural identity’ and ‘embracing positive Indigenous leadership’, forms one of the three ‘pillars’ of the Stronger Smarter philosophy and approach. We recognise that in introducing the concept of High-Expectations Relationships in this written form we are not able to provide the in-depth understandings that are possible through the experiences of the Stronger Smarter Leadership Program.

  • The GIA Historical Music Series
    GIA Publications, Inc. 2018 2018 Music Education Catalog At GIA, we aspire to create innovative resources that communicate the joys of music making and music learning—that delve deeper into what it means to be musical. By working with leading authors who represent the very best the profession has to offer for all levels from preschool through college and beyond, GIA seeks to help music teachers communicate the joy, art, skill, complexity, and knowledge of musicianship. This year we again offer a wide range of new resources for early childhood through college. Scott Edgar explores Music Education and Social Emotional Learning (page 7); the legendary Teaching Music through Performance in Band series moves to Volume 11 (page 8); Scott Rush publishes Habits of a Significant Band Director (page 9) and together with Christopher Selby releases Habits of a Successful Middle Level Musician (pages 10-11). And there’s finally a Habits book for choir directors (page 12). James Jordan gives us four substantial new publications (pages 13-16). There’s also an Ultimate Guide to Creating a Quality Music Assessment Program (page 19). For general music teachers, there is a beautiful collection of folk songs from Bali (page 21), a best- selling book on combining John Feierabend’s First Steps in Music methodology with Orff Schulwerk (page 23), plus the new folk song picture book, Kitty Alone (page 24), just to start. All told, this catalog has 400 pages of resources to explore and enjoy! We’re happy to send single copies of the resources in this catalog on an “on approval” basis with full return privileges for 30 days.

    Preparing Expert Leaders for International Civil Service and Global Careers EUCLID: An Overview EUCLID was constituted in 2008 as an intergovernmental organi- zation with a university mandate, as embodied in Article I of its defining text (United Nations Treaty Series 49006/49007*): “The Parties are participating in EUCLID (also properly called Pôle Universitaire Euclide and Euclid University) which has (international*) legal personality, not-for-profit status, and such capacities as may be necessary to exercise its functions and fulfill its objectives. In order to ensure the international usefulness of the programs offered, EUCLID is chartered to confer diplomas, degrees and com- pletion certificates accredited by the ministries of Education of the Participating Parties. EUCLID, a member of the Euclid (University) Consortium, receives the mandate to facilitate universal access to higher education and to foster the acquisition of knowledge and competencies under the supervision of the ministries of Education and Foreign Affairs of the Participating Parties.” Through direct participation and cooperative agreements, EUCLID currently serves 12 Participating States and 4 intergovernmental organizations (CAFRAD, ECOWAS, ICCI, LLPI), as well as select students from other governments and from the general public. EUCLID’s global operations headquarters are located in The Gam- bia, West Africa.

  • Letter from Jonathon Nevett to Chris Disspain, Akram Atallah, & Cyrus Namazi
    July 27, 2017 Chris Disspain, Board of Directors Akram Atallah, President, Global Domains Division Cyrus Namazi, VP Domain Name Services & Industry Engagement Internet Corporation for Assigned Names & Numbers VIA E-MAIL Re: IGO Request to Register Its Reserved Domain Dear Chris, Akram and Cyrus: Attached please find a request from the Deputy Director of International Operations at Euclid University, a United Nations-chartered international intergovernmental organization (IGO), which provides distance education and consulting services to officials in participating states1, as well as to the general public. As you can see, Euclid University is seeking to register the domain name Euclid.university; however, ICANN prohibits us from registering Euclid.university to any party, including Euclid University, the very IGO the prohibition intends to protect. This isn’t an isolated case. As you know, we and others have pointed out in other fora that this prohibition irrationally harms Euclid University and every other IGO. By way of further example, under current registry agreements, the International Olympic Committee would be prohibited from registering Olympics.hockey and the Red Cross from registering Redcross.care. To address these types of absurd situations, we filed a Registry Service Evaluation Process (RSEP) in 2015. Our non-controversial ask in that RSEP was for a specific IGO to be permitted to consent to the registration of its own reserved name. We didn’t seek the release of all IGO full names and acronyms or address what protections an IGO would have when any such names are released to third parties—issues the community has been grappling with for years.

  • Standardised Soil Profile Data to Support Global Mapping

Standardised soil profile data to support global mapping and modelling (WoSIS snapshot 2019) Niels H. Batjes, Eloi Ribeiro, and Ad van Oostrum ISRIC – World Soil Information, Wageningen, 6708 PB, the Netherlands Correspondence: Niels H. Batjes ([email protected]) Received: 6 September 2019 – Discussion started: 16 September 2019 Revised: 17 December 2019 – Accepted: 9 January 2020 – Published: 10 February 2020 Abstract. The World Soil Information Service (WoSIS) provides quality-assessed and standardised soil profile data to support digital soil mapping and environmental applications at broadscale levels. Since the release of the first “WoSIS snapshot”, in July 2016, many new soil data were shared with us, registered in the ISRIC data repos- itory and subsequently standardised in accordance with the licences specified by the data providers. Soil profile data managed in WoSIS were contributed by a wide range of data providers; therefore, special attention was paid to measures for soil data quality and the standardisation of soil property definitions, soil property values (and units of measurement) and soil analytical method descriptions. We presently consider the following soil chemi- cal properties: organic carbon, total carbon, total carbonate equivalent, total nitrogen, phosphorus (extractable P, total P and P retention), soil pH, cation exchange capacity and electrical conductivity. We also consider the fol- lowing physical properties: soil texture (sand, silt, and clay), bulk density, coarse fragments and water retention. Both of these sets of properties are grouped according to analytical procedures that are operationally comparable.
