  • Math Gossip Magazine
    Students Write Tabloid Tabulations in a Math Gossip Magazine By Joe Bellacero and Tom Murray “Education is what happens to the other person, not what comes out of the mouth of the educator. You have to posit trust in the learner.” −Horton et al. 1998 Tom Murray, math department, Robert F. Wagner Jr. Secondary School of Arts and Technology: I am looking at the finished product again. Each time I consider the neatly formatted tabloid cover and the cleverly written articles that make up the collection we call the “Math Gossip Weekly,” I am left in a state of amazement. It has been just about one year now since my eighth grade students, guided by the combined efforts of Joe and me, brought this tabloid to fruition. I can recall the process as if it were yesterday. And yet, I am still surprised that a math activity that started with just some imagination on Joe’s part and a little trust on mine turned into one of the most thrilling things that I have ever done in my years of teaching. Many questions still surface when I reflect on this writing project. What made it so successful? What made it so enjoyable? What have I learned from this experience? What have my students learned? And finally, how can I use this experience to grow my own teaching and to possibly help others as well? Joe Bellacero, on-site teacher-consultant at Wagner and associate director, New York City Writing Project: The way it begins is almost always the same; I lean around the corner of a cubicle or into a classroom door, or over the shoulder of a paper-grading teacher, “Hey, what’s going on?” I’ve pulled Tom away from something—research on the internet, grading student papers, preparing a lesson, or another of the myriad tasks that take up a teacher’s non-classroom time.

  • 13 Musts for Breaking Bad News to Your Employees
    13 musts for breaking bad news to your employees Have to tell the troops about layoffs, an upper-level scandal, an imminent hostile takeover or divestment? Follow these essentials. SPONSORED BY: Lawrence Ragan Communications, Inc. 13 musts for breaking bad news to your employees Nobody likes to be the bearer of bad tidings, whether it’s news of layoffs, a product recall, a reduction in benefits, financial woes or an executive resigning under a cloud. Yet to succeed as an executive—or a communicator—it’s essential that you level with your employees. Transparency is an increasingly important goal for organizations. Internal communications expert Sean Williams says a related concept may be just as essential: authenticity. Publicly traded companies can’t always open their books to the world, but they can make a commit- ment to be straight—authentic and honest—in their communications, he says. This means holding to this promise: “If we’re asked directly about something, we’re going to answer directly,” Williams says. Here are more tips for successfully breaking bad news: 1. Prepare. Good messaging doesn’t emerge spontaneously, especially in times of trouble. At a previous compa- ny, Todd Johnson, now president and board chairman of Kollective, was part of a team that spent six hours preparing the chief executive for a 15-minute presentation onstage to employees. The leader didn’t do well at first. “He was going to sound like he was spinning,” Johnson says. “He wasn’t going to answer any ques- tions about layoffs. People were going to think there was some grand scheme behind all this, and none of it was true.” By working through it, the CEO boosted trust in his message.

  • Search Committee Guide
    Search Committee Guide Overview for the Search Committee Chair and Members The Department of Human Resources (HR) and the Equal Opportunity and Regulatory Compliance Office (EORC) have various tools to assist you as the Search Committee in making your hiring recommendation. This guide will explain the hiring process as well as clarify the roles of the search committee chair and members. A finding of noncompliance with Equal Employment Opportunity and Affirmative Action (EEO/AA) policies by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights (OCR), or other regulatory agencies, could delay or even block the award of federal grants or contracts to the University. Therefore, approval for the appointment of new faculty and staff WILL NOT be given until the Office of Equal Opportunity and Regulatory Compliance has verified that the recruitment and selection process is in compliance with all relevant policies. Should you need additional help with your search committee, EORC or HR will be glad to assist you on an one-on-one basis.

  • Using Gossips to Spread Information
    USING GOSSIPS TO SPREAD INFORMATION: THEORY AND EVIDENCE FROM TWO RANDOMIZED Downloaded from https://academic.oup.com/restud/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/restud/rdz008/5345571 by guest on 20 February 2019 CONTROLLED TRIALS ABHIJIT BANERJEE†, ARUN G. CHANDRASEKHAR‡, ESTHER DUFLO§, AND MATTHEW O. JACKSON? Abstract. Can we identify highly central individuals in a network without collect- ing network data, simply by asking community members? Can seeding information via such nominated individuals lead to significantly wider diffusion than choosing randomly chosen people, or even respected ones? In two separate large field exper- iments in India, we answer both questions in the affirmative. In particular, in 521 villages in Haryana, we provided information on monthly immunization camps to either randomly selected individuals (in some villages) or to individuals nominated by villagers as people who would be good at transmitting information (in other vil- lages). We find that the number of children vaccinated every month is 22% higher in villages in which nominees received the information. We show that people’s knowl- edge of who are highly central individuals and good seeds can be explained by a model in which community members simply track how often they hear gossip about others. Indeed, we find in a third dataset that nominated seeds are central in a network sense, and are not just those with many friends or in powerful positions. JEL Classification Codes: D85, D13, L14, O12, Z13 Keywords: Centrality, Gossip, Networks, Diffusion, Influence, Social Learning Date: This Version: February 1, 2019.
