Brooklyn Excelsior Charter School Volume
Charter Schools Institute State University of New York BROOKLYN EXCELSIOR CHARTER SCHOOL FINAL CHARTERED AGREEMENT Sec. 2852(5) Submission to the Board of Trustees VOLUME _£_OF_3 REDACTED COP 74 North Pearl Street, 4th Floor, Albany, NY 12207 tel: (518) 433-8277 fax: (518) 427-6510 e-mail: [email protected] www.newyorkcharters.org 1032 O COPYRIGHT NATIONAL HERITAGE ACADEMIES 2001-2002 SCHOOL YEAR (REV. A 7/2001) 1033 Educational Technology Philosophy The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has tracked student achievement for nearly three decades. In 1996, the results of the NAEP indicated a link between certain kinds of technology use, higher scores on the NAEP, and an improved school climate.1 It is important to note that not all types of technology use produced these results. In fact, the results indicated that the use of computers for "drill and practice" may result in decreased student scores. The technology use that proved most beneficial centered on using the computer for simulation, problem solving and analysis. The computer's most powerful uses are for making things visual," says James Kaput, a math professor at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth. "It can make visual abstract processes that that are otherwise ineffable." As an organization, NHA focuses on delivering a "back to basics" approach to education based on research to generate student performance results. NHA's philosophy is grounded in the premise that the primary educational focus in elementary school should be mastering the core academic subjects of English, reading, mathematics, history, and science. Use of technology within the framework of the core academic curriculum must be age appropriate and must enhance the learning process. -

HOLLYWOOD'S WAR ON THE WORLD: THE NEW WORLD ORDER AS MOVIE Scott Forsyth Introduction 'Time itself has got to wait on the greatest country in the whole of God's universe. We shall be giving the word for everything: industry, trade, law, journalism, art, politics and religion, from Cape Horn clear over to Smith's Sound and beyond too, if anything worth taking hold of turns up at the North Pole. And then we shall have the leisure to take in the outlying islands and continents of the earth. We shall run the world's business whether the world likes it or not. The world can't help it - and neither can we, I guess.' Holroyd, the American industrialist in Joseph Conrad, Nostromo, 1904. 'Talk to me, General Schwartzkopf, tell me all about it.' Madonna, singing 'Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend,' Academy Awards Show, 1991. There is chilling continuity in the culture of imperialism, just as there is in the lists of its massacres, its gross exploitations. It is there in the rhetoric of its apologists - from Manifest Destiny to Pax Britannica to the American Century and now the New World Order: global conquest and homogenisa- tion, epochal teleologies of the most 'inevitable' and determinist nature imaginable, the increasingly explicit authoritarianism of political dis- course, the tension between 'ultra-imperialism' and nationalism, both of the conquerors and the conquered. In this discussion, I would like to consider recent American films of the Reagan-Bush period which take imperialism as their narrative material - that is, America's place in the global system, its relations with diverse peoples and political forces, the kind of America and the kind of world which are at stake. -

Antinuclear Politics, Atomic Culture, and Reagan Era Foreign Policy
Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy William M. Knoblauch March 2012 © 2012 William M. Knoblauch. All Rights Reserved. 2 This dissertation titled Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy by WILLIAM M. KNOBLAUCH has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by __________________________________ Chester J. Pach Associate Professor of History __________________________________ Howard Dewald Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT KNOBLAUCH, WILLIAM M., Ph.D., March 2012, History Selling the Second Cold War: Antinuclear Cultural Activism and Reagan Era Foreign Policy Director of Dissertation: Chester J. Pach This dissertation examines how 1980s antinuclear activists utilized popular culture to criticize the Reagan administration’s arms buildup. The 1970s and the era of détente marked a decade-long nadir for American antinuclear activism. Ronald Reagan’s rise to the presidency in 1981 helped to usher in the “Second Cold War,” a period of reignited Cold War animosities that rekindled atomic anxiety. As the arms race escalated, antinuclear activism surged. Alongside grassroots movements, such as the nuclear freeze campaign, a unique group of antinuclear activists—including publishers, authors, directors, musicians, scientists, and celebrities—challenged Reagan’s military buildup in American mass media and popular culture. These activists included Fate of the Earth author Jonathan Schell, Day After director Nicholas Meyer, and “nuclear winter” scientific-spokesperson Carl Sagan. -
