Eighty-five Network member sites are featured, representing eighteen states and two Canadian provinces. High schools, middle schools, elementary schools, early childhood centers, a school for the deaf, and a juvenile detention center all share strategies to strengthen partnerships using the six types of involvement. Districts, organizations, and state departments of education describe leadership strategies and partnership practices that support schools' efforts. Though strategies, resources, and populations vary, one constant theme remains: school, family, and community partnerships benefit all children. Promising Partnership Practices 2002 abounds with practices that support all students to achieve success in school and in life. Increasingly, partnership practices at all levels of schooling link the six types of involvement to student academic goals in particular literacy, math, and science. States and districts are crafting policies, facilitating professional development trainings, and conducting monthly leadership meetings to guide schools in developing goal-oriented programs linked to school improvement plans. In addition to supporting student achievement, many partnership practices foster a sense of community by bringing together families, school staff, students, and community members, and by supporting students' character development. Partnership programs continue to expand their reach to all family members, including speakers of languages other than English, kinship caregivers, and fathers. The descriptions featured in Promising Partnership Practices 2002 provide insights and information useful to those starting new programs and to those improving existent programs. We greatly appreciate the school Action Teams for Partnerships and the district, organization, and state leadership teams whose dedicated efforts throughout the year made this collection possible. In addition, the school districts of Buffalo, NY; Holy Family Catholic Regional, Alberta, Canada; Los Angeles, CA; and Naperville, IL, submitted their ©2002 National Network of Partnership Schools Johns Hopkins University 5 district collections of promising practices to the National Network. Thank you to everyone who shared practices of school, family, and community partnerships. Your inspiring learning experiences will help schools, districts, organizations, and states gain new approaches to strengthen programs of partnership to benefit all students, their families, and schools. National Network of Partnership Schools at Johns Hopkins University Established by researchers at Johns Hopkins University in 1996, the National Network of Partnership Schools brings together schools, districts, organizations, and state departments of education that are committed to developing and maintaining effective programs of school, family, and community partnerships. Each Partnership School strengthens its program by tapping into the six types of involvement and by using an action team for partnerships approach. Districts, organizations, and states provide leadership and support for schools' efforts to build excellent partnership programs. Members of the National Network of Partnership Schools continually learn, from the research and from each other, strategies to improve and sustain comprehensive programs of school, family, and community partnerships to increase student success.

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • With a Combination of Speed, Daring and Brains, Ty Cobb Is Surely the Terror of the Opposing Infield.” – 1912 Hassan Cigarettes Tobacco Card
    Ty Cobb By Jimmy Keenan “With a combination of speed, daring and brains, Ty Cobb is surely the terror of the opposing infield.” – 1912 Hassan Cigarettes tobacco card. “Rogers Hornsby could run like anything but not like this kid. Ty Cobb was the fastest I ever saw for being sensational on the bases." – Hall of Fame manager Casey Stengel. 1 “The Babe was a great ballplayer, sure, but Ty Cobb was even greater. Babe Ruth could knock your brains out, but Cobb would drive you crazy." – Hall of Fame outfielder Tris Speaker. 2 "The greatness of Ty Cobb was something that had to be seen, and to see him was to remember him forever." – Hall of Fame first baseman George Sisler. 3 Ty Cobb made his mark in baseball during the first three decades of the 20 th century. To this day, the mere mention of his name resonates baseball excellence. Cobb was credited with setting 90 individual records during his 24-year major league career. He played with the Detroit Tigers from (1905- 26) and the Philadelphia A's from (1927-28). He was the player-manager of the Tigers from 1921-26. Cobb hit over .400 three times (1911, 1912, 1922). He currently holds the highest lifetime batting average (.366) of any major league player. During his tenure in the bigs, he was credited with 12 American League batting titles, nine of them in a row. An error regarding Cobb’s 1910 hitting statistics was discovered in 1978. This correction led to him losing a point on his lifetime average as well as the 1910 batting crown.

Introduction squinting to see him another generation sent to right field -David Giacalone1 In the hands of a child, a ticket to a professional baseball game carries magical powers, and it has been this way for generations. To children, local sports stadiums are hallowed ground where heroes perform. These magnificent structures create an aura and are unique to the community. More so than football, basketball, or hockey, baseball has played a greater role in the nation‘s history and culture than any other sport. While the game‘s roots stretch back centuries, professional baseball first became nationally popular in the late 19th century. The historic parks and stadiums in which early teams played have all too often been bulldozed to make way for new stadiums. Detroit‘s Tiger Stadium, aged nearly 100 years, was a rare, precious legacy from baseball‘s early era. But Tiger Stadium‘s history should not be reduced simply to one of sport.
