  • Building Safe, Supportive and Restorative School Communities in New York City Case Study Series Vol
    Building Safe, Supportive and Restorative School Communities in New York City Case Study Series Vol. II Summer 2013 A positive school climate and strong school community are critical to teaching and learning. Yet harsh disciplinary practices such as suspensions, police interventions and school-based arrests undermine positive relationships between students and adults, fail to prevent or reduce conflict, and lead to students missing critical class time. Students of color are more frequently targeted by punitive practices, increasing the likelihood that they will fall behind and be pushed out of school. In a number of New York City schools, students, parents and educators are implementing positive approaches to discipline that hold students accountable for their behavior while keeping them in class. Positive discipline strategies such as restorative approaches, peer mediation and positive behavior supports reduce conflict and support student success by affirming the Student leaders at the Bushwick Campus give a dignity and human rights of all members of the school workshop in conflict resolution to fellow students. community. In the 2011-2012 school year, there were over 69,000 suspensions in New York City schools. The latest data for September-December 2012 show a 35% decrease from the previous year, demonstrating that discipline practices are moving away from a strictly punitive approach. However, in order for schools citywide to fully implement positive disciplinary strategies, they need the funding, training and staff support to transform their school climates and improve educational outcomes. Districts like Denver and Los Angeles have revised their discipline polices to mandate approaches like restorative practices and positive behavior supports, and have invested in the training and support necessary to make these programs sustainable.

PUB TYPE Reports Research/Technical (143) EDRS PRICE MFOI/PC08 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS College Freshmen; Demography; *Enrollment Trends; Futures (of Society); Higher Education; Hispanic Americans; *Immigration; *Migrants; Migration Patterns; Population Trends; Puerto Ricans; *Student Characteristics; Urban Education; Urban Universities IDENTIFIERS *City University of New York; Diversity (Student) ABSTRACT This monograph analyzes the effects of recent trends in immigration from foreign countries and migration from Puerto Rico on the makeup of the City University of New York (CUNY) student body and provides preliminary assessments of related educational needs. An introduction describes the research for the study which included census data, other federal and city government statistics, surveys of CUNY administrators, and roundtable discussions with faculty, students, and community leaders. Part 1, which includes three sub-sections, examines the recent changes in the profile of CUNY students, discusses the likely changes that will take place during the current decade, and assesses the ways in which current foreign-born and Puerto Rican-born first-time freshmen students differ from current native-born freshmen. Part 2 considers how increases in the number of immigrant and migrant students will affect academic programs and support-service needs. Part 3 profiles the main country of origin of 10 groups at CUNY and describes how these groups are distributed across the city. Part 3 also includes information on the historical background of immigrant trends.

  • The Uncovered Ruggles a Subtle Chain of Countless
    The Uncovered Ruggles A subtle chain of countless rings The next unto the farthest brings; The eye reads omens where it goes, And speaks all languages the rose; And, striving to be man, the worm Mounts through all the spires of form. —Ralph Waldo Emerson, “Nature” (1836) “Creation is soul-searching. Nothing is ever finished.” —Carl Ruggles Carl Ruggles (1876–1971) was a maverick American composer of short works that project a sense of infiniteness. His musical vision was majestic. However, like rare precious stones, his inimitable works were cast in print only a handful of times. To get to the essence of Ruggles, one can dig through piles of unpublished drafts and near-complete works that he left behind after his death in 1971. The circumstances around these works tell much about the creative process of his music and the philosophies that guided his craft. The incomplete works reveal triumphant music that swells the Ruggles canon, and deepens appreciation of his accomplishments. This recording offers a glimpse at Ruggles’s grander transcendent art. The story of the unpublished sketches, transcriptions, and eventual realizations spans the twentieth century. In 1974 The University of Minnesota Gallery hosted an exhibition of art works by the composer/painter Carl Ruggles. John Kirkpatrick was on hand to perform Evocations at a concurrent lecture-recital in Scott Hall. The Schubert Club hosted a reception. It was a posthumous homecoming of sorts for Carl Ruggles, who began his career as a violin teacher and conductor in Winona, Minnesota, in 1907. Those were halcyon days for Ruggles.

  • The Globetech International Simulation: Practical Tool to Train Engineers - Leaders for the Global Economy
    Session 3142 THE GLOBETECH INTERNATIONAL SIMULATION: PRACTICAL TOOL TO TRAIN ENGINEERS - LEADERS FOR THE GLOBAL ECONOMY Roxanne Jacoby, Jean Le Mee The Albert Nerken School of Engineering, Cooper Union Abstract The 21st century will require engineers not only technically well prepared in their chosen fields, but also able to understand the managerial, ethical, financial, etc. implications of their work. They will have to become effective leaders in the context of a complex, fast changing, highly competitive global economy. To achieve this, more emphasis should be given to well designed engineering management training in the undergraduate division. The practical side of solving engineering management issues, building students’ essential management skills can be emphasized through collaborative inter-collegiate projects that deal with up-to-date global technical, management, and financial issues. The Globetech International Simulation, offered free via the Internet for the past five years by Cooper Union, is such a project. It has widened the managerial perspective of many engineering students here in the USA and abroad. A larger participation in this or similar projects will ensure, at a minimal cost, that our future engineers are well prepared for the managerial challenges that lie ahead of them. 1. Introduction “Using the power of information technology, engineering education activities will become increasingly global. Engineering education must become more encompassing, with an eye to the many new industries that will be served by engineers. To accommodate these changes, we must broaden the base of our education to keep the doors open to opportunities that cannot possibly visualized now”. This is what Ernest T.
