PSIS collects information pertaining to the programs and courses offered at an institution, as well as information regarding the students themselves and the program(s) and courses in which they were registered, or from which they have graduated. PSIS is also designed to collect continuing education data. This information is available from the PSIS Cross-sectional Files. In addition, PSIS has been designed to provide longitudinal data. It creates a unique longitudinal record for each postsecondary student in Canada which will, in turn, provide a history of flows taken by a student as he/ she progresses through the education system. Upon commitment from all postsecondary education institutions, PSIS will become a means of following students throughout their academic careers in order to build a comprehensive picture of student flows - that is, their mobility and pathways within Canadian postsecondary education institutions. Mobility refers to geographic movement. Pathways refer to movement among fields of study, levels of education, and registration status (full-time and part-time). This information will be available from the PSIS Longitudinal Files. 7 Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) PSIS Data Dictionary The PSIS reporting period covers the academic 2.

  • Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook
    Canadian Official Historians and the Writing of the World Wars Tim Cook BA Hons (Trent), War Studies (RMC) This thesis is submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences UNSW@ADFA 2005 Acknowledgements Sir Winston Churchill described the act of writing a book as to surviving a long and debilitating illness. As with all illnesses, the afflicted are forced to rely heavily on many to see them through their suffering. Thanks must go to my joint supervisors, Dr. Jeffrey Grey and Dr. Steve Harris. Dr. Grey agreed to supervise the thesis having only met me briefly at a conference. With the unenviable task of working with a student more than 10,000 kilometres away, he was harassed by far too many lengthy emails emanating from Canada. He allowed me to carve out the thesis topic and research with little constraints, but eventually reined me in and helped tighten and cut down the thesis to an acceptable length. Closer to home, Dr. Harris has offered significant support over several years, leading back to my first book, to which he provided careful editorial and historical advice. He has supported a host of other historians over the last two decades, and is the finest public historian working in Canada. His expertise at balancing the trials of writing official history and managing ongoing crises at the Directorate of History and Heritage are a model for other historians in public institutions, and he took this dissertation on as one more burden. I am a far better historian for having known him.

    NORTH AMERICAN PREMIERE CHARIOTS OF FIRE season sponsor title sponsor Supporting the arts, locally. Each year, through various donations and sponsorships, we are committed to helping our local communities. We’re proud to be the 2017/2018 season sponsor of The Grand Theatre. 17-1670 Grand Theatre ad-Ev1b.indd 1 2017-08-17 10:01 AM Chariots of Fire is one of the world’s most respected films. Imagine my delight when I heard it had been transformed into a play. How would they ever put all that run- ning onstage, I wondered? Five years ago I saw the premiere production in London, England’s West End. It was such a thrill — I was transported back to the 1924 Olympics and I felt like I was there inside the excitement of the day. I am pleased that we are producing the North American premiere of this play after many years of negotiations. It is the perfect finale production for my first season here at the Grand — a play that celebrates passion, dedication, and going for the gold. Mike Bartlett, a highly respected playwright, has taken the movie and transformed it for the stage. What excites me most is how Bartlett has taken the physical energy of the story — in partic- ular, the running races — and found theatrical ways of making them come to life. This project has been a creation of epic proportions for us here at the Grand Theatre, causing us to invent new ways to use our theatre. In order to tell this story properly, we have transformed our auditorium and created a running track, invited audience members onstage, and redefined our beloved theatre in order to transport us to England, to Scotland, and finally to the to the 1924 Olympics in France.

PUB TYPE Information Analyses (070) Reference Materials Bibliographies (131) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Annotated Bibliographies; Community Development; *Community Schools; Consolidated Schools; Economic Impact; *Educational Research; Elementary Secondary Education; Integrated Services; Research Needs; Rural Areas; *Rural Schools; *School Closing; *School Community Relationship IDENTIFIERS *Social Impact ABSTRACT This paper reviews the literature on the noneducational impacts of rural schools on their communities and provides an annotated bibliography of sources. Taken as a whole, the literature suggests that the school-community relationship is multifaceted. Community schools have positive economic impacts related to local employment, retail sales, and infrastructure; have positive social impacts related to social integration and collective community identity; function as an arena for local politics; provide a resource for community development through student projects and school-to-work programs; and offer a delivery point for health and social services, improving access to health care and other services. Further research is needed in the following areas: K-12 educational uses of advanced communication technologies, which may remedy problems of geographic isolation; the economic impact of consolidation on school districts; outcome evaluation of school-community partnerships; and outcome-based analysis of rural school-based health centers. The annotated bibliography has two sections containing 43 research papers and 68 advocacy and position papers.
