  • About the ETS® Proficiency Profile Custom Comparative Data Report
    5/24/2018 About the ETS® Proficiency Profile Custom Comparative Data Report The Custom Comparative Data Report can assist you in interpreting the scores from the ETS® Proficiency Profile by helping you determine how your students' skills compare with the skills of students at similar institutions. The report generates descriptive statistics based on a reference group of 10 or more other institutions of interest which you select. Information about an institution gathered through ETS Proficiency Profile administrations cannot be released in any form attributable to or identifiable with an individual institution. The anonymity of each institution's performance is maintained by reporting only the aggregate performance of the selected reference group. Below are descriptions of the various tables you can generate using this service: Distribution of Individual Students' Total Scores/Subscores - The distributions in these tables may be used to interpret individual student results by determining what percent of those taking the test at the selected institutions attained scores below that of a particular student. Each table shows scaled score intervals for Total Score and Subscores separately. By looking up the Total Score or Subscore and reading across the row to the corresponding number in the column headed "Percent Below," the percent of individuals scoring below any interval can be determined. Distribution of Institutional Mean Total Scores/Subscores - The distributions in these tables present the number of institutions at each mean score level. These tables provide a way to compare the Total Score and Subscore means for your institution with those of other participating institutions you selected. These tables show the mean of means (or the average of the mean scores for those institutions selected) as well as the standard deviations of those means.

  • Easter Means Christ Is RISEN!
    1 First Quarter 2007 PO Box 12555, Prescott AZ 86304, 1 888 ISSUES–9 web site <www.issuesineducation.org> Bob & Geri Boyd “In My Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you.” Jesus in John 14:2 Easter means Christ is RISEN !!! But what does that mean to a generation that doesn’t believe it? What does “Jesus Saves ” mean to a generation that has no idea Who He is or what He saves them from? A generation that is lost doesn’t know they need a SAVIOR. People are urged to be saved before they know they are lost. Is HELL a real place ? What happens to people who die but don’t go to heaven ? Do they just cease to exist? Or do they go to a literal place called HELL? Why would a loving God create such a place as HELL? If hell did not exist, why did Jesus talk about a place of “ eternal punishment ” so much? For those who say, “Oh I don’t believe in hell,” not believing in hell doesn’t make it go away. For those who say, “I’ll be with my drinking buddies and we’ll have a great time in hell ,” they don’t have any idea what they’re talking about. LISTEN! In hell, all your worst fears and nightmares come true. This is a place of intense heat, constant torture, fear, regret, pain, desperate screaming, loneliness- you will never see any of your loved ones or anyone else you knew on earth.

  • American Evangelicalism
    For the personal use of teachers. Not for sale or redistribution © Center for the Study of Religion and American Culture, 2014 AMERICAN EVANGELICALISM Professor Omri Elisha Department of Anthropology Queens College, CUNY Institutional and Curricular context: Queens College is part of the City University of New York (CUNY), a public university system with a mission to provide a quality college education, at relatively low cost, for students form across the socioeconomic spectrum. Located in “the most ethnically diverse county in America,” the college itself is extremely diverse, serving a population of roughly 18,000 students (approx. 14,000 undergrad) from all over the New York metro area. A significant number of our students are children of first- and second-generation immigrants, and many of them represent the first generation in their families to get a college education. It is a Queens College tradition that some of the city’s best and brightest who lack the resources to attend high-end colleges discover opportunities for intellectual and creative growth on our campus. At the same time, many are also struggling to make ends meet, working part-time jobs while maintaining full-time student status and, in some cases, supporting their own families. My department is a “four-field” anthropology program (cultural, biological, archaeological, and linguistic). In addition to required courses for our cultural anthropology curriculum, I occasionally teach courses in the comparative and ethnographic study of religion. This class, a new addition to the program, would be the only class I teach focusing on a specific religious tradition (evangelicalism) in a specific geographic region (North America), though the purview expands somewhat over the length of the course.

  • There Are Two Fundamental Reasons That Our Federal Government Has Far Exceeded Its Legitimate Authority Granted by the Terms of the Constitution
    TESTIMONY OF MICHAEL FARRIS, JD, LLM HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA There are two fundamental reasons that our federal government has far exceeded its legitimate authority granted by the terms of the Constitution. First, it is the nature of man to want to expand his own power. Second, the several states have never employed their constitutional authority to limit the size of the federal government. We should not be surprised that the federal government has continually expanded its power. When there are no checks on its power, not even the need to spend only the money that it has on hand, abuse of power is inevitable. George Mason was the delegate at the Constitutional Convention who best understood this propensity of government-all government-and he insisted that we create an effective check on this abuse of power. He said that when the national government goes beyond its power, as it surely will, we will need to place structural limitations on that exercise of power to stop the abuse. But, no such limitations would ever be proposed by Congress. History has proven him correct on both counts. But Mason's arguments led to the final version of Article V which gave the states the ultimate constitutional power-the power to unilaterally amend the Constitution of the United States, without the consent of Congress. The very purpose of the ability of the states to propose amendments to the Constitution was so that there would be a source of power to stop the abuse of power by the federal government. 1 It should seem self-evident that the federal abuse of power is pandemic.

  • Mark Meckler Attacks and Belittles Other Conservatives Who Do Not Agree with Him Such As Phyllis Schlafly. (Taken from the Book
    Mark Meckler Attacks and Belittles other Conservatives who do not Agree with him such as Phyllis Schlafly. (Taken from the book by Orlean Koehle, America Needs Revival Not Revision, the Dangers and Risks of an Article 5 Convention, pp.76-83) In an article published in the American Spectator, Dec. 2013, [Meckler] accused Phyllis Schlafly of not being a constitution scholar. i He states: She is no constitutional scholar… and she stands almost alone on the fringe of conservatism, with no significant support from legitimate scholars or notable commentators, clutching feebly to a letter written in the 1970s by liberal activist Chief Justice Warren Burger [that warns against a COS]. Meckler further accuses Phyllis of: aligning with the liberal Burger against the American people’s right and obligation to restrain a runaway federal government? She is unwittingly leading her supporters into a desperate, sad place of permanent citizen impotence and government overreach. Instead, she should change course and align her values with the Founders. We welcome her to join the fight, bring her troops, and help the people, via the states, to restore liberty. ii Obviously, Meckler does not know very much about Mrs. Schlafly, nor has he read her writings or books. She holds a law degree just as Mark Meckler does. She has been writing about the Constitution long before Meckler was born. Most of her 20+ books and writings refer to the Constitution. She has a reputation of being a brilliant constitutional scholar. She served as a member of the Commission on the Bicentennial of the U.S.
