  • History of Mascot Characters and Yuru-Chara
    Doctoral Dissertation Academic Year 2018 Consumption of Images: Country-of-Origin Image and the Perception Gaps caused by Global Marketing of Cultural Commodities Keio University Graduate School of Media and Governance 81449421 SUTER JILLIAN RAE Abstract Globalization allows the for the consumption of goods produced around the world. It also allows for images to be created and viewed globally. Global marketing is advantageous to many markets and increases the number of possible consumers. However, with changing frames of reference, the perception of the image also changes. While this phenomenon did not unilaterally affect the marketing of most consumer goods, it could have a profound effect on the increasing global consumption of images. This is especially true in terms of countries and their soft power. Most research has focused the country-of-origin and the quality of the commodities when comparing countries global markets. As more commodities become digitalized and image-based, a stronger knowledge foundation on how images are perceived globally is necessary to avoid misunderstandings. In this dissertation, I show how images can be reinterpreted depending of their frames of reference or context changes. The first is a part of the research consisted of a global survey of American and Japanese school children and their impressions of a new children’s character analyzed with SPSS. The second part was three observational research field-trips to Japanese marketing events with Japanese mascot characters called Yuru-chara. These two parts of the research combined to show where the gaps in perception are for image-based commodities between Japan and the United States of America, particularly with children’s characters and Yuru-chara.

  • Civic Leadership Challenge 2020-2021
    GSOSW is excited to present the Civic Leadership Challenge Patch Program! This patch program is all about identifying ways in which you already embody leadership in your communities and figuring out how to propel that into further action to create positive change in your world! Learn about different types of civic engagement, from traditional forms of participation like voting, to learning how to be a supportive neighbor and community member. Each month we will release three activity options under one theme. To earn the patch, complete one of the activities each month and record your experience in a “Civic Journal” that you design. You can record your experiences with writing, pictures, drawings, or any other reflections you may have as you complete activities. Look at the “How to record in your Civic Journal” step in each activity for ideas on how to reflect on what you’ve done for that month. Don’t worry if you miss a month, you can complete the activities in whatever order works best for you! Between March and April 2021, submit two selections from your Civic Journal via email to [email protected] to show us that you’ve earned the Civic Leadership patch! These patches can then be found at the GSOSW Shop online. Remember that when working on Girl Scout activities or projects like these, you must stay nonpartisan, and cannot make or communicate anything that favors or opposes a particular candidate who is running for office. Check the “?” within each month’s theme for more details on how to complete the activities while following Electioneering Guidelines for Girl Scouts.

  • Initial Achievement Level Descriptors
    Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium: Technical Report Initial Achievement Level Descriptors CTB/McGraw-Hill April 26, 2013 Copyright © 2013 Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium Abstract The Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium held an Achievement Level Descriptor (ALD) Writing Workshop in October 2012 to draft an initial set of ALDs and to review and comment on a College Content-Readiness policy. Each of the 21 Smarter Balanced Governing States nominated representatives from kindergarten through Grade 12 (K-12) and from two- and four-year colleges and universities (Higher Education) to participate in the workshop. Thirty panelists representing K-12 and 21 panelists representing Higher Education all of whom demonstrated strong knowledge of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), over 11 years in their profession, and/or prior experience developing ALDs or learning outcome statements participated. The panel developed a set of Policy ALDs, Range ALDs, and Threshold ALDs for English language arts and mathematics and provided valuable feedback on the Smarter Balanced College Content-Readiness Policy. Workshop panelists examined both the Smarter Balanced Content Specifications and the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) to draft Policy, Range, and Threshold ALDs. Following the workshop, a series of three reviews took place: an internal review by Smarter Balanced staff, and two public review periods in which feedback was collected via an online survey. Content editors reviewed and revised each new draft and worked with Smarter Balanced staff and volunteer leaders to incorporate relevant substantive changes suggested to the draft ALDs. On March 20, 2013, the K-12 and Higher Education State Leads from the Governing States unanimously approved the ALDs.

But, believe it or not, they’re worth listening to, often outmatching all contenders for inventiveness and originality. This book profiles dozens of outsider musicians, both prominent and obscure, and presents their strange life stories along with photographs, interviews, cartoons, and discographies.
