The evaluation capped a two-year review process that included a final three-day site visit by a Middle States team and a College self-study conducted by admin- istrators, faculty members, professional staff, students, alumni and a trustee. “Teachers College is among the top grad- uate programs in education in the country,” the Middle States team wrote in its evalua- tion report. “It aspires to be at the intellectual forefront of issues facing American education. The vision is to use a research-inspired multi- disciplinary approach, blending both theory and practice to educate the next generation of teachers, counselors, etc.” TC President Susan Fuhrman said the review “produced a wealth of excellent ideas for improving the College, in part by strengthening our ability to respond to the needs and concerns of our students, faculty, alumni, and other key stakeholders and con- stituencies.” he middle states commission on The review process was led by Sasha Higher Education has emphatically An amazing Gribovskaya, Director of Accreditation and renewed Teachers College’s accredita- Assessment, and a steering committee chaired Ttion and affirmed the College’s efforts by Bill Baldwin, Professor of Practice in Ed- to remain at the forefront of shaping new ucation and former Vice Provost, and A.

    MCA 700 Discography by David Edwards, Mike Callahan & Patrice Eyries © 2018 by Mike Callahan MCA-700 Midline/Reissue Series: By the time the reissue series reached MCA-700, most of the ABC reissues had been accomplished in the MCA 500-600s. MCA decided that when full price albums were converted to midline prices, the albums needed a new number altogether rather than just making the administrative change. In this series, we get reissues of many MCA albums that were only one to three years old, as well as a lot of Decca reissues. Rather than pay the price for new covers and labels, most of these were just stamped with the new numbers in gold ink on the front covers, with the same jackets and labels with the old catalog numbers.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Influence of Paul Monroe on China's Educational
    “Cross-Fertilization” of Education: Influence of Paul Monroe on China’s Educational Development and Reforms in the 1920s Working Paper 2020 Center on Chinese Education Teachers College, Columbia University November 2020 Henan Cheng, Sarah Fischer, Baolier Huang Abstract: Paul Monroe is widely recognized for his important contributions to the ​ ​ development of the field of international and comparative education. Monroe’s far-reaching impact on education worldwide is best exemplified by his significant influence on modern Chinese education system, which he exerted through extensive fieldwork, lectures, and charity work spanning over three decades. However, Monroe’s legacy in China has often been overshadowed by another giant of his time, John Dewey. This paper aims to re-examine published literature and primary sources and shed light on Monroe’s groundbreaking efforts to improve education in China during the 1920s. Important connections are drawn between Monroe’s comprehensive educational surveys in 1921, the subsequent 1922 national reform, and his long-term commitment in promoting science education in China. Introduction The American-Chinese educational exchange has transcended decades throughout revolutions, political ebb and flow, and economic fluctuation. While the cultural and educational give and take is of much discussion and is often attributed to famous philosopher John Dewey, this paper sets out to illustrate the influence of a Dewey contemporary yet lesser known leader, Paul Monroe, and his innovative work in the exchange of ideology and philosophy with Chinese educational policy and development throughout the 1920’s. In a review of published literature and primary sources in both Chinese and English - from Monroe himself and various Chinese scholars who benefitted from his tutelage - connections are drawn between Paul Monroe’s 1921 trip to China, his comprehensive survey on Chinese education, and the subsequent 1922 Educational Reform.

It wasn’t like he had anything else to do, what with being told to stay home from work like everyone else around the world. Although where his tools had ended up was a concern for later. He inhaled sharply, not caring how cool the temperature was when he could get a bracing lungful of air -- outdoor air, not the stale, cooped up air inside his apartment. He was starting to go stir-crazy and he’d only been stuck inside for four days. “Tell me again why you thought now would be a good time to tear our storage room apart?” Andy came through the open door, holding out a cold beer.
