Class, 4Educ4tional Methods for Deaf-blind Studebts," embarked upon an Ambitious project of toy evaluation. Toys were identified according to selective abilities/disabilitfes tf infaqs and children with sensory impairments, with particular attention to deaf-blind children. Our 1982 publication, "Toy;Guide: Gifts for Special Children" caused such4widespread interest that our new edition includes only products froM stores found on a nation-wide basis. Prices may vary. The authors did not attempt to list every toy in each store. They wished only to give the reader a guide as to the variety of toys available for stimulating varilous developmental functions in sensory impaired children. Our thanks 'to Kevin Magin, to April Coats and Kristy'Marguete, the originators,'and especially to Mary Przybocki and Stephanie A.-Miller, the new editdrs of this very useful new guide to toys.

Per discussions with the City staff, the list of businesses is prioritized based on potential water quality impacts by business type and proximity to sensitive water features. Businesses are grouped into three tiers (e.g., high, medium and low priority) based upon these two criteria. Each tier of businesses is classified due to their business type (e.g., automotive-related) and location (e.g., <200 feet from a sewer inlet leading to San Pedro Creek).

  • Young English Learners As Writers: an Exploration of Teacher-Student Dialogic Relationships in Two Mainstream Classrooms
    Young English Learners as Writers: An Exploration of Teacher-Student Dialogic Relationships in Two Mainstream Classrooms A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of Doctor of Philosophy In the Department of Educational Studies of the College of Education, Criminal Justice, and Human Services by Elizabeth Lowrance-Faulhaber M.A.T. University of Southern California August 2013 Committee Co-Chair: Dong-shin Shin, Ed.D. Committee Co-Chair: Susan Watts-Taffe, Ph.D. Committee Member: Holly Johnson, Ph.D. Abstract Children in U.S. schools who receive instruction in English yet speak a primary language other than English at home, English learners (ELs), have historically experienced a lack of achievement compared to their monolingual peers. Early literacy instruction has been shown to predict later academic success, although a lack of research exists surrounding young EL children’s writing. The purpose of this study was to explore the dialogic relationships between two mainstream teachers and two young EL children in relation to literacy practices and writing outcomes. Grounding the study in a sociocultural framework, I conducted a multiple-case study of two first-grade classrooms. Participant observations and stimulated-recall interviews provided insight into the classroom literacy practices, the teachers’ decision-making processes, and how the teacher-student dialogic relationships may have influenced student writing outcomes. Findings revealed three related dialogic patterns across cases: a) integrating modes of meaning- making; b) using scaffolding, tools, and strategies; and c) engaging in social activities. A cross- case synthesis led to insights regarding a) the students’ use of voice in writing, b) assessing young EL children who rarely speak, c) valuing teachers’ roles in teacher-student dialogic relationships, d) using graphic organizers as instructional tools, and e) emphasizing the value of asset-based pedagogies.

    45936 MOC Must Toys Book6 12/1/05 7:52 am Page 32 1980s Consumer research was very much part of the production process in the US since the 1960s. In Britain, little consumer research had been done before the 1980s and little design input went into good advertising. In fact pre-war advertising as evidenced by the catalogues of Lines Bros. and Kiddicraft was far more eye catching. Combined with the difficulties thrown up by the current economic climate; increased imports, the rising cost of raw materials, increased labour costs and removal of fixed prices, it was inevitable that even large businesses could not guarantee long term security and survival. Desperate measures were tried by some, but by the beginning of the 1980s over sixteen British companies had collapsed including some of the major players; Lesney, Mettoy, Berwick Timpo and Airfix. Eventually these were to be absorbed by other companies in the US and the Far East, as well as in Britain. However, many major British companies managed to survive including some venerable examples, such as Britains, Spears, Hornby, Waddingtons, Galt and Cassidy Brothers. Torquil Norman started Bluebird Toys in 1983, his first product being the now famous Big Yellow Teapot House. This was one of the first ‘container’ houses which broke away from the traditional architectural style of dolls’ houses in favour of this light and colourful family home.
