  • Florida College System Activities Association Report to the Council of Presidents February 8, 2019
    Florida College System Activities Association Report to the Council of Presidents February 8, 2019 FCSAA Retention Project As part of our strategic plan, the FCSAA is working on a retention project looking at the effect involvement in co- curricular and extra-curricular activities has on student retention and graduation. Anecdotally, those of us who work in Student Life and Athletics have seen the positive effect this involvement has, so this project is designed to get quantifiable data behind it. We are starting with the Athletics division because their data is the easiest to capture due to NJCAA requirements. Currently we are working with five colleges and their athletic directors and registrars as a sample. Once we determine the best method to gather the data from the sample colleges, we’ll move forward with the full Athletics division. We do not plan to separate out colleges or sports, but rather simply report data on student athletes as a whole across the state. Once we fully develop the plan and implement it in the Athletics division, we'll then move on to the academic divisions in 2019-2020. We believe this will ultimately show some very positive data regarding student involvement in activities and athletics. Academic Divisions Brain Bowl: FCSAA Regional Tournaments are scheduled for February 8-9, 2019 at: East Central: Seminole State College West Central: South Florida State College Panhandle: Florida Gateway College South: Indian River State College FCSAA State Tournament is March 28-30, 2019, at State College of Florida.

  • From 1955-1961, One of the Most Remarkable Community Civic School
    UC Irvine Journal for Learning through the Arts Title Can Architects Help Transform Public Education? What the Sarasota County Civic School Building Program (1955-1960) Teaches Us Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/1479d3wp Journal Journal for Learning through the Arts, 9(1) Author Paley, Nicholas B. Publication Date 2013 DOI 10.21977/D9912643 eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Can Architects Help Transform Public Education? What the Sarasota County School Building Program (1955-1960) Teaches Us Author: Nicholas Paley Graduate School of Education George Washington University Washington, DC 20052 [email protected] Word Count: 10,270 Abstract: The Sarasota County School Building Program (1955-1960) is revisited through a detailed examination of how architects and educators collaborated to design an innovative group of public schools that provided opportunities for the transformation of learning space. This multi-dimensioned examination is grounded in a historical contextualization of the school building program, in visual and discursive archival analysis related to three of the schools considered especially notable, and in the integration of contemporary voices of some of the teachers, students, and educational employees who worked in these schools. A concluding section discusses four key lessons of this artistic-educational collaboration that might be fruitful for educators to ponder as they seek to create the kinds of community-based learning environments that optimize students’ educational experiences. Introduction From 1955-1960, one of the most remarkable public school building programs in the history of American education took place in Sarasota, Florida. In less than a decade, projects for nine new elementary and secondary schools or additions were commissioned, designed, and constructed --and almost immediately--were being acclaimed as some of the most exciting and varied new schools being built anywhere.

  • SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017
    SF Giants Press Clips Friday, March 17, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ Christian Arroyo: next piece of homegrown infield? John Shea SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — The Giants love shortstops. Theirs is one of the best in baseball, Brandon Crawford. Their second baseman was drafted as a shortstop and converted in the minors, Joe Panik. They drafted Matt Duffy as a shortstop and taught him to play third base as a big-leaguer. Last summer, they traded for Eduardo Nuñez, who had played mostly shortstop during his career but played third after Duffy was traded to Tampa Bay. Heck, even Buster Posey played shortstop in college. No wonder the Giants’ top hitting prospect is a shortstop. Not that Christian Arroyo is targeted to play the position in the big leagues, not with Mr. Crawford in the house. Arroyo, who’s 21 going on 30, is the team’s third baseman of the future, and we’re not talking the distant future. It’s not unrealistic to imagine Arroyo playing third on Opening Day in 2018, so long as he continues to excel on the fast track. 1 “For me, they stressed the value of versatility,” Arroyo said at his Scottsdale Stadium locker. “Staying versatile is going to be huge.” Arroyo was the Giants’ top draft pick in 2013 — he was salutatorian at Hernando High School in Brooksville, Fla. — and he signed after turning down a scholarship from Florida, where he would have studied architectural engineering. He’s plenty smart enough to realize his ticket to the big leagues might not be at his No.

    SF Giants Press Clips Tuesday, March 28, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle Giants’ lineup takes shape on 14-run afternoon Henry Schulman SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — For the final Cactus League home game Monday, Giants manager Bruce Bochy constructed a fair preview for Opening Day. Brandon Belt batted second behind Denard Span, with Hunter Pence, Buster Posey and Brandon Crawford at three, four and five. Aaron Hill batted sixth as a place-holder for Eduardo Nuñez, and Joe Panik was seventh, which was fine with him. “I’ve got some protection behind me,” he said with a smile. That was Madison Bumgarner, who batted eighth, ahead of Gorkys Hernandez hitting ninth in the Jarrett Parker spot. That group had a field day in a 14-2 victory over the Reds. The Giants pinned 10 runs on left-handed starter Cody Reed, who had been having a nice spring. Bochy has not had a chance to tinker with batting orders because Posey and Crawford were at the World Baseball Classic for more than two weeks. Bochy is experimenting now, with Sunday’s season opener quickly approaching. “You look at the two guys at the top of the order: They’re on-base guys. The numbers show that,” Bochy said. “You’ve got experienced guys in the heart of the order with Pence, Buster and Craw. Look at what Craw is doing. You want him in that spot. “Going down the order, you’ve got power there with Parker versus right-handers. Panik’s another good hitter. Some days, you’ll see the pitcher hitting eighth.

    SF Giants Press Clips Saturday, July 15, 2017 San Francisco Chronicle A’s Alonso, Giants’ Posey opine on game’s record pace for homers, strikeouts John Shea If there was any doubt the emphasis in baseball is on home runs and strikeouts, records will be set on both fronts when the 2017 season ends. The homers record of 5,693 set in 2000, a loosey-goosey time of steroid use, will fall — we’re on pace for 6,126. And strikeout records are being set every year — we’re at an all-time high of 16.489 K’s per nine innings. In related news, the average time of nine-inning games is longest in history: 3 hours, 5 minutes. Homers and K’s are time-consuming, after all. Commissioner Rob Manfred addressed all three areas during the All-Star break in a Q&A with the Baseball Writers’ Association of America and defended baseball’s drug-testing policy, his way of suggesting PEDs aren’t the reason for overpowering pitchers and batters. Here’s a player’s view: “The game has changed,” A’s All-Star first baseman Yonder Alonso said. “The pitcher is going for the strikeout just like the hitter is going for the homer. It’s evolved into a heavyweight game, 1 the one-punch knockout. “It’s not so much the featherweight game where you’re going to jab, you’re going to make sure you get the runner over. “No, the game has changed. You’re expecting to win games by hitting a two-run homer or hitting a couple of two-run homers.
