    Issue 02 Spring 2009 Recycling champion is Citizen of the Year r Alf Martin was named Citizen of the Year at the annual DClackmannanshire Awards ceremony. The glittering event was held in February in Alloa Town Hall hosted by Provost Derek Stewart. Dr Martin is one of the founding members of Alloa Community Enterprises, one of Scotland’s oldest established community recycling businesses. ACE was founded for “the relief of poverty by the alleviation of unemployment” and achieves its objectives by being involved in environmental activities, particularly recycling. Dr Martin has served as a volunteer director with ACE for 25 years and retires from the position of chairman later this year, although he will remain a board director. He said: “I’m astonished, surprised and flattered to be named Citizen of the Year. I regard this award as a tribute to ACE and the whole team - the directors of the voluntary board, the staff, the whole workforce. It is a real tribute to them and to the company as a whole. “I also regard it as a mark of the support that we have received from the population of Clackmannanshire. Without that support we would never have got off the ground and would never have had the success we have had and would not be able to claim to have made a significant contribution to Clackmannanshire’s standing and reputation in the world of recycling.” Dr Martin was presented with his prestigious honour by Lord Lieutenant Sheena Cruickshank.

The main purpose of the studywas to identify those features of student backgrounds which have a bearingon academic achievement. Factors studied include socioeconomic class, pupiland parental aspirations and attitudes, staffing and type of school,home characteristics, parental support, and pupil variables.The method used was to survey a cross section of 5,200 Scottish secondary school students,their parents, teachers, and school administrators.Researchers evaluated the confidential questionnaires and foundthat parental attitudes, student aspirations, and student abilitiesare more important than social class in determining academic achievement.Among the nine conclusions based on research resultsare that (1) the "experience of teachers" factor did not produce a consistentpattern;(2) teachers' forecasts and allocation to specificcourses of study are of high predictive significance; and (3) students taughtby a small number of teachers are likely to be high academic achievers.(Author/DB) *********************************************************************** Documents acquired by ERIC includemany informal unpublished * materials not available from othersources.
