  • Title: the Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher's Guide of 20Fh Century Physics
    REPORT NSF GRANT #PHY-98143318 Title: The Distribution of an Illustrated Timeline Wall Chart and Teacher’s Guide of 20fhCentury Physics DOE Patent Clearance Granted December 26,2000 Principal Investigator, Brian Schwartz, The American Physical Society 1 Physics Ellipse College Park, MD 20740 301-209-3223 [email protected] BACKGROUND The American Physi a1 Society s part of its centennial celebration in March of 1999 decided to develop a timeline wall chart on the history of 20thcentury physics. This resulted in eleven consecutive posters, which when mounted side by side, create a %foot mural. The timeline exhibits and describes the millstones of physics in images and words. The timeline functions as a chronology, a work of art, a permanent open textbook, and a gigantic photo album covering a hundred years in the life of the community of physicists and the existence of the American Physical Society . Each of the eleven posters begins with a brief essay that places a major scientific achievement of the decade in its historical context. Large portraits of the essays’ subjects include youthful photographs of Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, and Richard Feynman among others, to help put a face on science. Below the essays, a total of over 130 individual discoveries and inventions, explained in dated text boxes with accompanying images, form the backbone of the timeline. For ease of comprehension, this wealth of material is organized into five color- coded story lines the stretch horizontally across the hundred years of the 20th century. The five story lines are: Cosmic Scale, relate the story of astrophysics and cosmology; Human Scale, refers to the physics of the more familiar distances from the global to the microscopic; Atomic Scale, focuses on the submicroscopic This report was prepared as an account of work sponsored by an agency of the United States Government.

  • The Rise of High School Dropouts in Adult Education
    The Rise of High School Dropouts in Adult Education: Making the Case for Raising the Compulsory School Attendance Age and Expanding Alternative Education Options in Connecticut November 2011 Bob Rath Kathryn Rock Ashley Laferriere Our Piece of the Pie® Executive Summary The following report highlights the issues facing high school dropouts in Connecticut and nationwide, as well as the policy measures that will result in improved student success. The Problem • Over 7,000 U.S. high school students drop out each day, costing the U.S. economy approximately $7.6 billion in potential annual earnings. In Connecticut, approximately 9,000 students dropped out of school in 2011. Each student costs the state an estimated $517,893 (compared to a high school graduate) over his/her lifetime, in lost fiscal contributions and increased costs associated with more severe health issues and higher incarceration rates, among others. • Dropouts share a number of common risk factors. They are often low-income, urban youth minorities that experience academic challenges, problematic behaviors, and difficult life events. Many potential dropouts do not have the appropriate number of credits for their age and intended grade. • Dropouts often turn to Adult Education to earn a secondary education credential such as a GED. In Adult Education, young dropouts do not receive the specialized services they require, and they prevent Adult Education programs from serving their target population. • Students underestimate both the difficulty of passing the GED test and the value of the credential to potential employers. Many students fail to complete the GED credential and those who do earn significantly less than high school graduates.

  • Summary of 2018-19 Cohort Graduation Rates
    Summary of 2018-19 Four-year and Five-year Cohort Graduation and Completer Rates January 23, 2020 The four-year cohort graduation rate follows students from the beginning of their first year in high school to the end of their fourth year in high school in order to determine the percentage of those students who graduate within four years. This year’s four-year cohort is made up of the students who first entered high school in 2015-16. The original set of students who enter Oregon high schools for the first time in 2015-16 is adjusted for students who transfer into the Oregon public school system, transfer out to private or home school, leave the state or country, or are deceased. The cohort graduation rate is calculated by taking the number of students in the adjusted cohort who earned a standard diploma within four years and dividing that by the total number of students in the adjusted cohort. See the tables below for the cohort rates for all students and for various student groups. In January 2019 ODE reported the four-year graduation rate for the students who first entered high school in 2014-15. The four-year cohort graduation rate followed those students from the fall of 2014 through the summer of 2018. This year, ODE followed the same cohort of students for an additional year in order to determine the five-year graduation rate for that cohort. ODE also reports a cohort completer rate along with the cohort graduation rates. This rate includes students who earned a standard high school diploma, as well as those who were awarded an extended high school diploma, adult high school diploma, or GED (known as Other Completers), within the four or five years being measured.

  • SCC's School of Continuing Education Student Satisfaction Survey
    Santiago Canyon College School of Continuing Education Student Satisfaction Survey Results, Spring 2014 June 2014 Due to recent severe financial cuts, administrators have had to make cuts in all areas of the college, including the intrusive move from its main facilities of Orange Education Center on Batavia in Orange. It is imperative that we monitor student satisfaction to understand how these issues have impact, if any, on their perception in program offerings, support services and resources available to them, learning environment, as well as facilities usage as it relates to the Santiago Canyon College School of Continuing Education (SCC-SCE). Findings will assist us to serve students appropriately. At the end of Spring 2014, staff conducted an online student satisfaction survey of the students actively enrolled at the three main SCC-SCE sites (SCC main campus, the OEC Provisional Education Facility, and the Rehabilitation Education Institute (REI). The survey provided an opportunity for students to report their levels of satisfaction with the programs, services and resources available to them as SCC-SCE students. In addition, the survey included questions regarding their educational background, as well as questions regarding their employment status, family income, etc. Respondents come from diverse demographics and economic backgrounds. Forty-three percent have had some college education, even post-graduate studies, and 39% have less than high school degree. The majority of respondents are 30 years of age or older (76%), female (63%) and Latino (70%). Though respondents identified more than 20 native languages, nearly two- thirds (66%) of the respondents’ primary language is Spanish. More than half (62%) of the respondents reside in households of three or more family members, with low annual household income (63% with less than $40,000 per year), and 53% worked (full and/or part time).
