The social status of children with learning disabilities: a reexamination

Although the low social status of children with learning disabilities (LD) has been well documented, little is known about the specific types of peer status problems that characterize these children. The present study utilized current sociometric procedures in order to clarify the nature of social status difficulties encountered by children with LD. Consistent with previous studies, results revealed that children with LD obtain significantly lower sociometric scores relative to their nondisabled peers. Moreover, children with LD were found to be disproportionately overrepresented in the rejected and neglected sociometric groups, and underrepresented in the popular and average groups. Over half of the total LD sample was classified into one of the low status categories, with approximately equal numbers in the rejected and neglected groups. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.     

状元资料辑考二题

一、章氏族人所办网站有多篇文章依据不同地方文献都说浦城章文谷为南唐状元。鉴于这些网站系列文章中所涉及的古代章姓名人的事迹都能找到纸质文献依据；浦城章氏五代时期甚为显贵，众多子孙中有个把文采出众的不足为奇；章文谷的父辈在南唐做高官的较多，有利于他在科举考试中争取好名次，所以章文谷于南唐夺魁之说虽通行史籍未载，当亦不为虚言；其生卒年可大致推估为公元940-1000年；宋代不少名人或为其直系后人，或为其世系颇近的族人。二、文章又辑录核心史籍、地方文献、笔记、工具书及其它记载有关宋代状元毕渐生平的零星资料，并据此勾画出其生平大概。     

加拿大融合学校标准建设:结构与内容——以阿尔伯塔省为例

围绕普通学校转型与融合学校建设,形成一系列标准来推进融合教育的深入实施,成为了加拿大新世纪之后教育改革的重要方向之一。其中,阿尔伯塔省的融合学校标准建设颇具特色。迄今,阿尔伯塔省已通过持续的政策推进,基本形成了由融合学校建设标准、融合学校专业人员标准、融合学校实践标准组成的三维融合学校标准体系结构。这个三维标准体系又是一系列标准或指标构成的集合体。加拿大阿尔伯塔省的融合学校标准建设经验对于推动我国融合教育改革与普通学校转型具有重要的启示意义。     

Counselor Education and Supervision: 2019 Annual Review

A total of 139 articles on counselor education and supervision published in professional counseling journals during 2019 were reviewed. A variety of methods were used, providing perspectives on current supervision issues, the training of counselors, curriculum developments, and associated professional issues. Implications include a need for continued research on online teaching and school counselor supervision and exploration of inclusion and advocacy efforts.     

Racial Mismatch among Minoritized Students and White Teachers: Implications and Recommendations for Moving Forward

ABSTRACT

The student population in American public schools has become increasingly diverse; however, the teacher workforce remains primarily White (80%). The purpose of the current paper was to examine the relationship between student-teacher racial composition and perceptions of school climate and the impact of Whiteness on the educational outcomes of minoritized students and their counterparts. Findings from the study indicate that more than 90 percent of the minoritized students in the sample are being educated by a majority White teaching staff. White students’ perceptions of cultural acceptance and connectedness increased as the number of White teachers increased. However, there was no effect for minoritized students. For minoritized students, perceptions of school climate did increase as the number of minoritized students increased. Recommendations for addressing ways to create more equitable learning environments for minoritized students and address and reduce teacher bias are discussed.     

Michigan’s homework assignment

Conclusion No one believes that Gratz/Grutter are the last word on the use of race in higher education, but there are no other cases in this area immediately on the horizon. Instead we are in a period of “gathering good data,”³¹ “what evidence supports your conclusion,”³² “leave a paper against what criteria.”³⁴ The outcome of the next round of litigation may well depend on how higher education has accomplished those tasks. The academic world will be best served on this question, as on others, if persons with various ideological and methodological perspectives take part. After all, the question is supposed to be about diversity. He has been a researcher on race neutrality for the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights.

That’s Not For Our Kids: The strange death of philosophy and ethics in a low socioeconomic secondary school

Abstract

This article reflects on the successes and failures of a new Philosophy and Ethics course in a low socioeconomic context in Perth, Western Australia, with the eventual demise of the subject in the school at the end of 2010. We frame this reflection within Deleuzian notions of geophilosophy to advocate for a Philosophy and Ethics that is informed by nomadic thought, as this offers a critical freedom for students to transform themselves and their society and suggests practical ways both of overcoming the prejudices which led to its demise and of student reluctance to engage in open discussion in class. We consider the demise of the course a ‘missed opportunity’ because it had so much potential to be transformative of student subjectivities in schools.     

Witness recall across repeated interviews in a case of repeated abuse

In this illustrative case study we examine the three forensic interviews of a girl who experienced repeated sexual abuse from ages 7 to 11. She disclosed the abuse after watching a serialized television show that contained a storyline similar to her own experience. This triggered an investigation that ended in successful prosecution of the offender. Because this case involved abuse that was repeated on a weekly basis for 4 years we thus investigated the degree to which the child's narrative reflected specific episodes or generic accounts, and both the interviewer's and child's attempts to elicit and provide, respectively, specific details across the 3 interviews collected in a 1 month period. Across the 3 interviews, the child's account was largely generic, yet on a number of occasions she provided details specific to individual incidents (episodic leads) that could have been probed further. As predicted: earlier interviews were characterized more by episodic than generic prompts and the reverse was true for the third interview; the child often responded using the same style of language (episodic or generic) as the interviewer; and open questions yielded narrative information. We discuss the importance of adopting children's words to specify occurrences, and the potential benefits of permitting generic recall in investigative interviews on children's ability to provide episodic leads. Despite the fact that the testimony was characterized by generic information about what usually happened, rather than specific episodic details about individual occurrences, this case resulted in successful prosecution.     

藏族"卍"(卐)符号的来源

对"卍"符号现在流行有这样几种说法:一是西藏传播说.二十世纪三十年代纳粹德国派遣的探险队对西藏进行了较为详细的探险、考察,他们在西藏发现了藏传佛教广为使用的"卐"符号,将这一符号带回德国,成为纳粹党的标志;二是一战前传入说."卐"是1910年传入霍亨佐仑德意志帝国,逐渐被视为日耳曼人高贵身份的象征;三是印度传入说."卐"是由印度人创造出的符号,这个符号由于文化的传播,各个文明间的互动而逐渐传播到世界各地,而这个符号本身也在传播中逐渐变化产生出不同的式样,但都出于同源,是文化传播中的不同演变形势.本文对"卍"符号的来龙去脉进行了探讨.
