You can tour Independence Hall, the birthplace of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, visit Reading Terminal Market, America’s oldest farmers’ market, and walk or run up the “Rocky Steps.” The Pennsylvania Convention Center, conveniently located in the heart of downtown Philadelphia, puts you close to the City’s renowned museums and much more. At NSBA’s Annual Conference & Exposition you will be joined by more than 7,000 school board members, superintendents and education leaders from across the country, and around the world, to gain and exchange valuable knowledge and information in five key areas: leadership, advocacy, technology and learning, urban school issues and school law. You will find more than 250 educational program sessions, workshops, speakers, site visits and exhibitors to inform and inspire your work. And you will come away with best practices, new ideas and cutting-edge strategies to help drive your district forward in its work to support and advance student learning and achievement. To further inform your innovative leadership styles, we hope you will also participate in the master classes in areas such as educational equity, school board/superintendent relations and positive school culture development, among others. We recognize and applaud your dedication and the innovative steps you take daily to ensure every public-school student receives a high-quality education—one that prepares them for the next steps toward leading successful and fulfilling lives. May you enjoy this year’s conference, and may it provide you with growth opportunities and connections, as well as continue to spark your passion to fight for excellence in public education.

  • PTACIN, MICHAEL JOSEPH, D.M.A. an Annotated Bibliography of Works for Solo Marimba and Electronics Published from 1978-2012
    PTACIN, MICHAEL JOSEPH, D.M.A. An Annotated Bibliography of Works for Solo Marimba and Electronics Published from 1978-2012. (2013) Directed by Dr. Dennis AsKew. 83 pp. The purpose of this study was to create an annotated bibliography of works for solo marimba and electronics published from 1978-2012. Thirty-four compositions were included in the annotated bibliography. For inclusion in this study, works met criteria established as follows: published and commercially available prior to January 1, 2013; supplied with both the score and accompaniment material; written for an individual performer; original composition for marimba; and marimba was the only keyboard percussion instrument. The incidental use of auxiliary percussion instruments did not disqualify a work for inclusion. The information identified in each entry of the annotated bibliography includes title, composer, publisher, range of marimba needed, duration of the work, number of movements, the type of accompaniment, and composer or publisher’s notes. Entries in the bibliography were organized alphabetically by composer last name. Each entry contains overviews of the accompaniment and performance techniques, including four-mallet stroke types and difficulty, as well as a musical overview, which covers such topics as specific challenges within the work or mallet selection. The annotations are neither meant to evaluate the musical merits of the works nor make observations or draw conclusions regarding the development of the identified compositions. The information provided in this document is intended to serve as a practical and useful resource for performers and bring broader awareness to the included works. The first chapter includes discussion of the study’s limitations and the process for identifying and selecting works included works.

  • Simulating Complex Health Systems
    Health SOCIETY OF ACTUARIES Section Simulating health behavior A guide to solving complex health system problems with agent-based simulation modeling Prepared by Alan Mills FSA ND Version 1 May 27, 2013 The opinions expressed and conclusions reached by the author are his own and do not represent any official position or opinion of the Society of Actuaries or its members. The Society of Actuaries makes no representation or warranty to the accuracy of the information. ©2013 Society of Actuaries. All rights reserved. It is clear from everyday observation that the behavior of sellers of medical care is different from that of businessmen in general. Kenneth Arrow, 19631 In some one of its numerous forms, the problem of the unanticipated consequences of purposive action has been treated by virtually every substantial contributor to the long history of social thought. The diversity of context and variety of terms by which this problem has been known, however, have tended to obscure the definite continuity in its consideration. In fact, this diversity of context—ranging from theology to technology—has been so pronounced that not only has the substantial identity of the problem been overlooked, but no systematic, scientific analysis of it has as yet been effected. The failure to subject this problem to such thorough-going investigation has perhaps been due in part to its having been linked historically with transcendental and ethical considerations. Obviously, the ready solution provided by ascribing uncontemplated consequences of action to the inscrutable will of God or Providence or Fate precludes, in the mind of the believer, any need for scientific analysis.

  • WIPAC's Gala Fundraiser: “A Sparkling Night on the Riviera”
    ARTS AND CULTURE, COMMUNITY NEWS WIPAC’s Gala Fundraiser: “A Sparkling Night on the Riviera” by Lisa McFarren-Polgar • November 26, 2017 The Washington International Piano Arts Council hosted an enchanting evening of music, dance and graciousness at their benefit Gala “Le Bal des Lumieres” held at the Columbia Country Club in Chevy Chase. Reminiscent of “La Belle Epoque” with a contemporary infusion, the doyen and doyenne of WIPAC, Mr. and Mrs. John and Chateau Gardecki, welcomed their guests to celebrate yet another year of WIPAC’s continuing support of pianists of the classical piano repertoire. Indeed, it was “A Sparkling Night on the Riviera,” with its simulated casino night and a silent auction of gifts donated by WIPAC supporters. Attended by WIPAC’s loyal supporters the Gala was Co-Chaired by Robin Phillips and Timothy Thomas. WIPAC President Clayton Eisinger eloquently expressed a sense of pride in being a part of the WIPAC organization and pledged his continued support for WIPAC and the vision of its Founders, Chateau and John Gardecki to promote the art of piano performance. Paying tribute to the inspiration that WIPAC has given to pianists for 16 years, the winner of WIPAC’s first 2003 International Piano Artists Competition, pianist-composer Paul Anthony Romero spoke of the positive impact that the competition had on his life as a musician. Performing with saxophonist Dr. Brock Summers, Paul Romero dazzled the audience with his beautiful arrangement of a medley of George Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess” tunes mixed with Rachmaninoff’s 2nd Symphony, followed by original works by Paul Romero for piano and saxophone.
