      Comment : insightful observation!

    1. A common concern teachers have is that if homework is not graded, students will not do it.

      I always liked going to school and doing my work to get a good grade, but as I read through common problems teachers face I begin to realize that there were a lot of my classmates in school that felt this way about homework and other grades.

    2. Many school districts have started looking for ways to make their grading practices more transparent.

      Its important to find a districts grading policy and connect it to your personal beliefs as a teacher. If it can not be found on a district website or in a student handbook that may be a sign?

    3. plenty of resources

      I have found that giving extra credit opportunities and giving partial credit helps students pass their classes even if they do not score a perfect grade.

    1. Even the best students, however, need to make big adjustments to learn the conventions of academic writing. College-level writing obeys different rules, and learning them will help you hone your writing skills. Think of it as ascending another step up the writing ladder.

      I’m definitely aiming to improve my writing and reading skills. Perfection isn't the goal, but by continuously striving for progress, we can develop our own unique approach to writing a paper.

    2. Regardless of your field of study, honing your writing skills—plus your reading and critical-thinking skills—will help you build a solid academic foundation.

      This statement emphasizes the importance of writing, reading, and critical thinking is; no matter the specific area of study. Writing is crucial because it helps you clearly communicate ideas, while reading deepens your understanding of various topics. Critical thinking allows you to analyze, evaluate, and form reasoned conclusions.

    3. Depending on your education before coming to CNM, you will have varied writing experiences as compared with other students in class.

      I find this relatable because there are gonna be people better at something than you for sure. I'm not the best when it comes to reading & writing I don't do it as much as I think I should but alas I am not Shakespeare.

    4. CNM students have access to The Learning and Computer Center (TLCc), which is available on six campuses: Advanced Technology Center, Main, Montoya, Rio Rancho, South Valley, and Westside

      Taking advantage of resources availability is only going to help you succeed in the colloge atmosphere

    1. identifying key questions, understandings, and facts.

      In math, I think of unpacking grade level outcomes as tying all previously learned content and strategies to what it presently being taught. It is great how math stems from foundational building blocks and builds on everything.

    2. That principle means that before deciding on the shape of a new building, an architect should first understand how that building will be used.

      This is an interesting principle I have never heard of. Of course the durability of a building must be strongly considered by an architect in its design.

    3. intended student learning outcomes

      I really like how the Backward Design begins with the Academic Standard, then the learning goal, then the assessment, then the learning activity.

    1. It assumes that all features are independent of each other

      It is based "Bayes Theoram" and it works on the assumption of the independence between every pair of featues

    1. Visual just as important as what is written, the "SLAP"s are placed in a way that makes it seem like the speaker is chasing the mosquito around. Uses pattern poem method

    1. The Bean Eaters -A lyric? Doesn't follow a linear story, sounds like it talks of an old couple -Assonance of the a sound in stanza 1 -Enjambment "...their rented back room that / is full..." -Old objects to represent the aging subjects

    1. “Okay, what’sBlack film? It’s not Hollywood or it’s ‘againstHollywood’ ” so that’s a fairly radical ideawhen you’re first confronted with it.

      The same can be asked about Indigenous film, specifically Pacific films. What makes a film Indigenous? Does it have to follow particular themes, ideas, or structures?

    2. “The Three Evils of Society,”Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., gave us a message and a gravewarning; “We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution ofvalues...when machines and computers, profit motives andproperty rights, are considered more important than people,the giant triplets of racism, materialism and militarism areincapable of being conquered.”

      It's incredible how Dr. King's words are still so relevant, even today. It's as if society has not learned. As a student of history, I am reminded that change is slow but it does happen.

    1. you may need to read no more than five or ten pages in one sitting so that you can truly understand and process the information.

      time is needed to fully understand the text.

    2. t helps to take detailed notes both when in class and when you read

      I always take notes when I'm trying to understand something complex or maybe I just need to remember that line or quote.

    3. Read with light snacks and water to drink nearby. No one can stay focused on an empty stomach!

      Staying in a good mood or even just fouced can help you understand what it is your reading and understand you veiws on it.

    4. Knowing what you want to achieve from a reading assignment not only helps you determine how to approach that task, but it also helps you stay focused during those moments when you are up late, already tired, or unmotivated because relaxing in front of the television sounds far more appealing than curling up with a stack of journal articles.

      It establishes the importance of having clear objectives before reading. Clear goals help in choosing the right reading strategies.

    5. Pre-reading is a smart strategy that means exactly what it sounds like. It’s something you do before you actually start reading. The time you spend on pre-reading, five to ten minutes, actually saves you time in the long run.

      I did not know "pre-reading" was a term used but I have caught myself doing this before actually reading the book and in most cases it has helped me understand my reading.

    1. Either way, rapid depopulation would have facilitated their expansion into Europe.

      Despite how they populated throughout Europe, they currently exist as a "ghost population". This is quite illuminating in its irony.

    2. Although this bacterium later caused bubonic plague, in this wave the disease seems to have been pneumonic plague.

      it's interesting because it shows how the same germ can cause different kinds of disease, changing how it spreads and how deadly it is.

    1. Thus the sitcom, around 1970, shifted away from the "one dramaticconflict series" model of The Beverly Hillbillies and toward an expandedconception of the domestic comedy. 1

      Around 1970, sitcoms like All in the Family replaced single-conflict formats with deeper family dynamics and social issues, showing the shift toward richer domestic comedy.

    2. Of course, the audience itself no doubt changed from the late 1960s tothe mid-1980s-specifically, the baby boomers matured during this period. And of course, cultural changes no doubt influenced the genericshifts in the sitcom. But they did not directly cause the genre to change.

      If cultural shifts and audience aging influenced sitcoms, why didn’t they directly cause the genre to change?

    3. Drawing on Aristotle, the literary critic Northrop Frye attempted inthe 1950s to further develop the idea of classifying literature into typesand categories that he called genres and modes.

      Just as Aristotle classified living beings by essential traits, genre theory, developed by Frye and applied by Feuer, uses taxonomy to organize scripted TV shows by shared narrative features, helping audiences and producers make sense of meaning and structure.

    4. Taxonomy dissects the general category of "animal" into a systembased on perceived similarity and difference according to certain distinctive features of the various phyla and specie

      How does television genre act like biological taxonomy—sorting scripted shows into categories based on shared traits like setting, tone, and character types, just as animals are grouped by species and phyla?

    5. The term genre is simply the French word for type orkind.

      The Office is a modern example of the sitcom genre, using mockumentary style and workplace humor to meet audience expectations.

    1. First, we have to realize that, for the most part, we can’t rely on most whitepeople. It is a recurring historical truth. Sure, there are white exceptions whoare antiracist and want liberation, but they are rare. I am glad to see a largenumber of white people in the streets protesting on behalf of Black lives. Iremain cautious, though. I have seen countless videos of white millennialsescalating out-of-control situations when we know that Black and Brownpeople are going to experience the brunt of white supremacy’s force. I’m stillstruggling with the video footage of a young white woman yelling in the faceof Black police officers, including a Black woman, that “they are the problem”and telling the Black woman to “smile for Breonna Taylor.”4 While I dobelieve the police need to be abolished, this white woman was more engagingin an act of whiteness than one of genuine protest. She might have sincerelybelieved in police abolition and desire justice for Breonna Taylor, but she mustnot forget that she is white, and even though Black police officers can showout for their white officer peers, and they are working for the state, it stilldoesn’t sit right by me. Just because you are anti-police, that does notnecessarily mean that your whiteness has disappeared or that anti-Blackracism is gone.

      This is interesting to bring up because I have also thought about this when it came to indigenous movements like the protest for TMT. I also sometimes question the motives of some indigenous "spokespeople" who claim authority on knowledge. I wonder what others think about this.

    2. t might seem controversial to call Africans and their descendants’Indigenous peoples, but it is not. To reclaim, insofar as we can imagine, theIndigenous roots of Africans in the diaspora is neither an attempt to replaceIndigenous peoples of the US nor to act as settlers in some real or imaginedreturn to Africa, as previous generations have done. However, we do have toaccount for the fact that, besides some cultural remnants that were able tosurvive historical erasure, Africans living in the US, because of enslavement,were stripped of their heritage

      This is a poignant argument to make. I cannot imagine the horror of having to be forcibly removed from your homeland, taken somewhere you've never been before, and stripped of your cultural identity. It's incredible to see how African slaves tried to hold onto their identity and use it to persevere, but also how it evolved due to their horrific experiences.

    3. According to political scientist William Galston, liberal democracyhas four components: republican principle, democracy, constitutionalism, andliberalism. He defines “republican principle” as popular sovereignty. Peoplelegitimate the government. “Democracy” means that all citizens have equality,and the structure of the government is inclusive citizenship.“Constitutionalism” means that the structure of the government exists inwritten form, a document like, for example, the US Constitution. Liberalismcenters on people’s individual rights and privacy. us, liberal democracycombines all these elements, though popular sovereignty is limited.8 USliberal democracy has been “living beyond its means” since the beginning.9e Founding Fathers have built debts that they or contemporary whiteAmericans will never be able to pay off.

      I am glad that Mays points out the hypocrisy of American democracy. As a teacher who teaches both US Government and Hawaiian History, I cannot help but always recognize the dichotomy between the two histories. I try to remind my students that, despite the ideals that the US nation is founded on, it has fallen short of what it promises.

    1. Page 259 : “ I suppose it was a inevitable that as my Wordbase rotten in. I could for the first time, pick up a book and read and now begin to Understand. What The tampoco se anyone who has read a great deal. Can imagine that the new world that opened.” - This was significant to me, because once you can learn how to read and can advance to bigger dialogue books. You really do open up a new world of fiction and nonfiction.

    1. * pair subject up = forma una pareja, es una matiz de completitud que le de el up, sino diría emparejar o unir. * trying to get = intentando que llegue. * To quit = a renunciar. * don't fuck with me = no te metas conmigo.

    1. equences of these basic instruction

      With a sequence of instructions, the code will be able to run the code and create an output, because it's using conditional execution and repetition, since some of these sequences may be repeated

    1. I also, however, want to focus mostly on what humans did in response to these environmental conditions, not so much on the conditions themselves.

      It's interesting because I have never heard this before and I would love to research more about it.

    1. The succeeding culture, named after its own distinctive pottery style, the Bell Beaker, has been discovered to be about 70% Yamnaya in its ancestry. Percentages of ancestry vary quite a bit, by region; showing that there was quite a bit of chance involved in these meetings of natives and immigrants.

      This passage shows that the Bell Beaker culture was largely descended from the Yamnaya people, with about 70% of their ancestry coming from them. It also notes that ancestry percentages differed by region, suggesting random variation in how native and immigrant groups mixed.

    2. Although archaeology shows that there were definitely many small bands of nomadic hunter gatherers struggling to survive in remote and barren regions of the ancient world (like the ancestors of the Beringians, whose 29,000 year old camps have been found in Siberia), it's probable that most people would have preferred to live in "rich" environments like temperate river valleys.

      This passage explains that while some ancient people lived in harsh, remote areas, most likely chose richer, more comfortable environments. It contrasts survival in barren regions with the preference for fertile river valleys.

    3. By about 9,000 to 7,000 years ago, agricultural techniques including farming and herding had spread from the places they had developed into surrounding regions. The best-studied of these spreads is from the fertile crescent into Europe (but we can assume expansion in other regions happened over similar time-scales and in similar ways), from Anatolia (Turkey) by way of the Mediterranean Sea and the Danube River.

      How did farming and herding move into Europe, and how did it change the way people lived?

    4. By about 7,500 years ago, longhouses, distinctive pottery designs, and intensive farming techniques had reached Hungary and Germany along the Danube

      This explains how well how farming has spread. It also explains how it's methods were developed and shared. However, it's yet to address the origin of farming. Is the origin of farming really this mystery that we are unable to find a unanimous answer to?

    5. It's easy to imagine some continuity from the lifestyle of hunters in regions of relative abundance like river valleys, to that of transhumant shepherds. A bit more difficult to connect this lifestyle with that of nomadic pastoralism.

      This is interesting because it shows how people changed their way of life over time to survive in different environments.

    6. easily have been understood in spiritual terms and led to something like religious reverence for the locations of these events.

      It's remarkable how religiosity played an enormous role in the prehistoric world. I thought it would be assumed that they were too busy surviving and providing for themselves and their family to put any significance on religion. It's truly revealing of their complex social and spiritual life.

    7. While we can’t say for sure that cousins such as Neanderthals did not share this interest and ability to create and to think symbolically, what we do know is that by 35,000 to 20,000 years ago, people

      What are some similarities and differences between Neanderthals and Sapiens?

    8. n the past, it had been believed that these earlier "species" in the genus Homo were primitive "Cave Men", and were only distantly related to us. New discoveries have recently been made by archaeologists, who have found that the tools used by Neanderthals were very similar to those used by neighboring H. sapiens.

      I remember learning this in class. I was so fascinated by this concept of species.

    9. So if we imagine a culture of people who hunted, fished, gathered, and began cultivating valuable food plants near their camps, we would be thinking of people who supported themselves in a similar way to the woodland Native American tribes of the Northeast.

      I find it really interesting that people actually found this as the normal way to live. It makes me very grateful to live how I live right now. I would want to learn more about this.

    10. The most significant of these cultures was known as the Yamnaya. These cart-using pastoralists originated in what is now Ukraine and eastern Russia about 5,300 years ago and spread through Europe over the next 700 years.

      I found this very informative. I did not hear about this before. I found the map very helpful and it helped me visualize it better.

    1. the practice of foot-binding, which rendered generations of Chinese women crippled and semi-mobile for the sake of what amounted to a fetish of Chinese fashion.

      I find this interesting because this shows that even though Chinese society had so many advancements, they still had a lot of flaws.

    2. well as a variety of technological inventions including the compass, gunpowder, paper-making, mechanical clocks, and moveable type printing.

      China invented all this stuff way before Europe. These inventions eventually shaped the world today, even though Europe gets more historical credit for using them.

    3. Zheng He’s first expedition left China in July 1405 with 62 large ships, over 200 smaller ships, and 28,000 soldiers.

      I think this is really interesting and most people would just read right over this and not actually understand how many ships and people this is. Hutch has about 15,000 people and there were almost twice that many that left on the first voyage.

    4. even a scholar from a poor family could take the exam if he could educate himself; success on the top exam was a ticket to the highest levels of imperial society.

      I find this interesting because the Chinese were based on someones own education getting them power and no one could get them there but themselves, it didn't matter how much money you had or who you knew.

    5. After a final voyage in 1433, expeditions were halted and the fleet was retired and ultimately burned. Ending China’s navy was one of the major changes made by Yongle’s descendants. The burning of the Chinese fleet left a power vacuum in the South China Sea, which in the sixteenth century was filled by Japanese and Chinese coastal pirates. Finally, shortly after Yongle and Zheng He’s deaths, China was challenged from the north again. Sixteen years after Zheng He’s final expedition, Yongle’s great grandson, the sixth Ming emperor, was captured and held hostage by Mongol raiders in 1449.

      This was a very dissapointing thing to read for me. You'd think that after hearing about some of the successes of Zheng He under the Imperial Power, that the Chinese navy wouldn't have gone under so easily.

    6. Zheng He’s first expedition left China in July 1405 with 62 large ships, over 200 smaller ships, and 28,000 soldiers. The largest ships were 425 feet long, over six times the length of the 65-foot caravels the Spanish and Portuguese would use on their explorations nearly a century later. China’s four-decked, 1,500-ton flagships had shallow drafts to allow them to navigate in river estuaries and watertight bulkheads to protect them from sinking. Their nine masts were up to two hundred feet tall and fitted with rattan sails.

      I liked this section a lot. Giving us more of a takeaway with the ships being used by Zheng He. There is a picture above this section displaying the very large size of the ships being used by Zheng He, and they are exceptionally large! Finding out more information about how they are able to operate and their strategies of efficiency across the water our quite intriguing, in my opinion.

    7. But when his first son, the crown prince, died, Hongwu  left his throne to the son of his favorite son, rather than picking one of his other sons.. Hongwu’s grandson became emperor at 20, but his reign was a short one. His uncle Zhu Di, the emperor’s younger son, had been passed over for the crown but remained prince of a northern territory around Dadu, the previous Yuan capital close to the Mongol border.

      I think that this is an interesting passage because of how Hongwu is willing to give up the throne just because he is unable to give it to his eldest son. In my last post, I had mentioned that Hongwu was a great leader. Perhaps in motivation from the terrible and possibly impoverished childhood. However, I wouldn't expect him to make such a harsh decision. He'd rather give up his title, his life, to someone else rather than one of his own sons!

    8. Administration of the empire by Confucian scholars was reinstated, along with the elaborate system of civil service examinations. Remembering the suffering and famines during his youth, partly caused by the flooding of the Yangtze River, Hongwu promoted public works and infrastructure projects including new dikes and irrigation systems to serve an agricultural system dominated by paddy rice. He organized the building or repair of nearly 41,000 reservoirs and planted over a billion trees in his land reclamation program.

      I think this is a very good section of the chapter due to the actions Hongwu takes in memory of the dysfunction of his youth. The way society wasn't very beneficial for the greater good. Hongwu is able to work with irrigation and agriculture. Creating better environments of his land.

    1. Life in college usually differs in many ways from one’s previous life in high school or in the workforce. What are the biggest changes you are experiencing now or anticipate experiencing this term? __________________________________________________________________

    1. it’s likely that many of the terms and concepts would be unfamiliar, and a geologist would have the same problems in a conversation about audiology.

      this is like trying to explain to someone there where never plums in Sugar plums.

    2. discourse community is a group of people who share basic values and assumptions and ways of communicating their goals. In the academic world, discourse communities are usually defined by field and subfield

      Shared values and opinions and how to communicate a groups end result. For example, as a Patient Care Tech in the NBICU we might discuss where something is the inventory but someone from another unit, i.e. Neuro ICU would understand what or where a specific item is.

    3. You decide to join a gym and consult with a personal trainer who uses specialized vocabulary to describe different types of exercise: aerobic, anaerobic, reps, plyometrics, and isometrics. You discover other gym members who share that same goal of becoming healthier, more flexible, and stronger. You become versed in a new language of fitness.

      It's like being in a club or group simillar to what your intersted in such as a garden club or book club activies you can relate to with people.

    4. read a few articles published in the field and identify the questions these articles raise at the beginning of the texts. Of course, these questions are not always explicitly stated, so identifying an article’s motivating questions might take some work. Write the questions out, make a list of defining characteristics, and assess your own questions next to this list.

      Reading different articles and identifying what common goals, question they have on the topic.

    5. The figure down below illustrates a fitness discourse community and the roll of an active member of that community.

      Discourse communities share common goals, genres, expertise.

    1. contain skeletons with smaller body sizes and reduced horns, again suggesting domestication.

      Humans in different parts of the world could not have communicated with each other and taught each other farming... is this the same case with domestication? If they did not teach other domestication, did a more simple circumstance incite this discovery?

    1. dithyrambic

      Dithyrambic- described a powerful, emotional song performed by a chorus in ancient Greece to celebrate Dionysus( the god of wine and ecstasy).

    2. . What shimmers with life on the page may die within minutes in the theater precisely because prose is a language to be spoken to an individual, recreated in an individual reader’s consciousness, usually in solitude, while dramatic dialogue is a special language spoken by living actors to one another, a collective audience overhearing.

      O: Oates seems to be trying to enforce the idea that prose fiction is a space for readers to take in the 'art' of the novel/story/etc., and grow an interpretation. I think the earlier statement, "Where in prose fiction the writer is accustomed to shaping subtleties of meaning by way of carefully composed language," explains this best. While the play on the other hand is given directly to the viewer, with little space to fill in imaginative blanks (although the depth behind acting should not be disregarded.) I find this comparison impactful because it demonstrates the depth of prose fiction that may not be initially realized. A play becomes a predominately collective experience and interpretation, while prose fiction becomes a living document. I can think back to times when I was so immersed in a piece of prose fiction that I began to imagine it in my free time, the characters coming alive in my head, my imagination becoming incredibly involved in the story.

    1. If they achieve network effects (large user base, ecosystem of integrations, proprietary data flows), they could become the “operating system” for interacting with AI.

      important

    1. Like animals in a zoo

      Really feeling the "white people are evil" energy here...I hope the author is eventually going to mention the fact that slavery already existed way before white people enslaved these people, and, once we get to how the evil whites enslaved the poor Africans, I hope she'll point out the fact that many Africans were already enslaving other Africans before the white man ever got there and started the slave trade there...where black people traded/sold their slaves to white people...I'm sure she's going to bring all of that up in the context of how that affected music and culture...right? Or are we just going to keep pushing the idea that white people are horrible beings who just go and enslave other unfortunate and helpless communities and appropriate their cultures and pillage and plunder them all for the sake of their own greediness?

    2. The literary scholar Homi Bhabha, who has spent his career studying the phenomenon of colonialism, calls situations like this colonial mimicry. According to Bhabha the colonizer makes an imitation of the Other that reforms it but keeps it recognizable, creating “a difference that is almost the same, but not quite.”42 In this context appropriating the music of a people can be a way to show power over them. But to create an imitation, the colonizer must engage with the colonized people, studying their ways, and this engagement threatens the wholeness of the colonizer’s culture by introducing foreign elements into it.

      Why are my parents paying for me to go to a college to read this?...This is ridiculous...there is no such thing as a difference that is the same, so this "scholar" is simply saying that there's a slight difference here. And I suppose this could be a way to show power over somebody else, but where is your evidence that this is in fact what Debussy was doing?

      Feeling that white guilt yet? Don't worry, I'm sure there's much more to come that will really make that sink in for you...

    3. Indeed, even after Debussy stopped imitating gamelan music, some of its effects lingered in his music. Debussy had used six notes in the place of four to represent the quickest rhythmic level of the gamelan sound. He found that he liked that effect. He used it again in other pieces of music, and it was eventually absorbed into the French style of Debussy’s time.

      So you're saying that Debussy integrated something new into his culture and kept it there?...I thought white people didn't do that because they're so horrible and against diversity in their culture...huh, turns out they're not so bad after all...

    4. What are we to make of Debussy’s appropriation of the sound of gamelan music? It is not exactly theft, for the gamelan musicians lost neither the ability to play their music nor income as a result of Debussy’s composing “Pagodas.” Page 33 →From a musician’s perspective, the reuse is also not that unusual: musicians have a tendency to remember and imitate sounds they like, playing with them and incorporating them into their own music. Still, borrowing across colonial lines with an attitude of exoticism seems troubling, as it delineates a difference of power, with a wealthier and more powerful European person drawing on music made by less powerful people of color.

      "What are we to make of this? We can't say the guy stole anything...and we could simply call it a situation where a guy liked a style and tried to mimic it like people of all races often do...but then we wouldn't be able to use this to show how bad white people are! Therefore, we must conclude that this is a matter of the white man wanting to stomp on the poor "people of color" and show his power over them, although we don't have sufficient evidence to support this claim. Sound good? Great!"

    5. Debussy was motivated by attraction to the music but also by the exoticism (and the racism that often comes with the exoticism) that was characteristic of his time.

      Debussy was racist now...how so?...this is DEI at it's finest right here, shoved at me by the fine institution known as Lebanon Valley College...

    6. Here Debussy fell back on a particular idea of indigenous authenticity—the belief that the music had been played in a certain way since the dawn of time and should not be altered.

      No, based on that quote, he is not saying that at all...he's saying that the additions of "all those weighty counterpoints" separated the songs from their origins. That doesn't mean that they can't be altered at all...most cover songs are not "divorced" from the origins of the songs they're covering, and yet, they do alter them.

    7. One scholar, Julien Tiersot, met privately with the Javanese musicians to have them play the music again more slowly, so he could hear it better.

      This is actually quite interesting, I'm glad the author pointed this out.

    8. Indeed, the idea of anthropology—studying the customs of a group of people—stemmed from the need to regulate and control colonial populations.

      Yeah, because nobody ever studied the customs of a group of people before colonialism occurred...

    1. As an educator, one of your goals is to help students gain knowledge that will help them become thoughtful and well informed citizens.  Reflect on how philosophy can be a positive foundation for curriculum and student learning.

      Philosophy helps educators analyze and shape their position on the goal of education, and make decisions based on values that shape their beliefs and behaviors. This will shape their choices of teaching strategies and guide them in developing relationships with students and embracing their career.

    2. A curriculum describes not only what the student should know, but how it can be taught, and in what sequence. The curricula that is based on standards may be adopted at the state level or by a local school district. The resources required to teach the content, include textbooks, workbooks, computer programs, and tests are made available by publishers, non-profit agencies, states and districts. The teachers develop unit and lesson plans with goals, objectives, and activities for their classrooms. McTighe (2012) describes it this way:

      At the end of a long and vital process intended to reach the student, we find the teachers developing unit and lesson plans and activities. They are at the stage of learning experience, and their role is crucial to the success of the students. Whether they are seen as facilitators, guides, or coaches, so much depends on the way they approach their work, their values, and professionalism.

    3. A common misconception is that standards are the same as curricula

      Another misconception is that instructional design is the same as curriculum development. They are not.

    1. Both groups are in a race to the bottom of commoditization, where only brand, UX, or network effects (e.g., Perplexity’s model-switching) can provide some edge

    1. Additional caution was engendered when the CLASS study demonstrated that the advantage of celecoxib in preventing GI complications was offset when low-dose aspirin was used simultaneously.

      Celecoxib is safer for the stomach than standard NSAIDs, but if the patient is also taking aspirin (even baby aspirin), the GI safety advantage is lost.

    1. Twenty-first century technologies and techniquesdemand expanded and extended documentation efforts tocontinue human progress. Documentation challengesinclude managing records of manufacturing and supplychain events in complex, global production (e.g., Apple'smicro etching of quick codes on iPhone screens); manag-ing records of 3D printed objects and organisms(e.g., StanfordBASE Lab's additive printing of layers ofcells to generate a human heart); and documentation sys-tems for the inevitable development of bit-level water-marks.

      TLDR: technological advancement and globalization means we need to do more work keeping track of where things are coming from and going to

    2. Just as importantly, we must work todevelop understanding of the nuances of different algo-rithms so that training sets may be well-suited to theproblem domains to which the generative tools areapplied

      different algorithms are better for doing different things

    3. To do so, we must build upontraditional collection development strategies to make thestructure and provenance of data sets transparent or atleast documentable

      i.e., take the old strategies n use them to make the AI better at its job/ make sure the AI gives us the backstory on where we got the info

    1. Not every writer follows the same process, and part of the work you will do in your writing classes is to discover the writing process that works best for you. Even though the writing process is often presented as a linear set of steps that writers follow from beginning to end, composition scholars now recognize the recursive nature of writing

      Everyone has there different way of writing up a esay or even a noval so when it comes to having your own style its common it what makes you differnt and possibly even a great writer

    1. I do not deny that we may make mistakes of procedure as we carry out the policy. I have no expectation of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average, not only for myself but for the team.

      I deeply admire FDR’s humanity in this statement. He openly acknowledges that he is not perfect and that mistakes are inevitable along the way. Yet, he reassures the people of his unwavering determination to do everything in his power to ensure success. To me, this reflects not only his humility but also his strength as a practical and transparent leader.

    1. Restructuring is a capacious word. I would equate the word restructuring with the wordrevolution. Our transformations, the reforms mapped out at the April plenum and theXXVII Congress are a genuine revolution in the entire system of relations in society, inthe minds and hearts of people, in the psychology and understanding of the presentperiod, and, above all, in the tasks engendered by rapid scientific and technicalprogress.4

      I think this is a very interesting quote that not only shows how the author gets his perspective across, but also how extreme the changes used to be back then.

      The author gets his perspective across in a mostly objective and evidence-based way. The use of this quote (and many others throughout) shows that well. Instead of subjectively saying what his own opinion is that the reforms became more radical, he gives the primary source of Gorbachev's own words. This allows him to build a credible argument by not only pointing out that he believed the changes to be more and more extreme, but also by showing that Gorbachev himself believed so. He shows Gorbachev's personal and subjective viewpoint that simple reconstruction wasn't enough anymore.

      That’s also why this quote itself reveals how extreme the changes got. Gorbachev himself changes wording from restructuring to revolution, which is something many people connect to things like the French Revolution, which were inherently violent. This really shows how he later on wasn't just trying to fix the economy by fighting the deeper issues, he wanted a genuine revolution of the entire system and society. The goal shifted into a complete psychological and also cultural transformation. This, among other things, also explains why the reforms caused opposition, as extreme changes almost always do.

    2. First, Soviet economists could not agree on a blueprint for reform that wouldinitiate qualitative changes without jeopardising political stability. And second,Gorbachev and his allies began to realise that the country's economic malaise wasintrinsically linked to a deeper moral, social and cultural crisis. To decrease thealienation gap between government and society, a prerequisite of economicreform, Soviet reformers understood that they must first overcome public apathyand inertia. This could only be accomplished by promoting popular participationin the daily life of the country. If decisive changes are to occur, Soviet citizens mustunderstand the need for, accept, and be willing to participate in the reformprocess. During the ten-month period between the April plenum and the XXVIICongress the glasnost' campaign was directed towards this end.

      This caught my attention because it highlights an important lesson in political reform. This is the point where Gorbachev and his allies realized that the issue is a deeper lying one, and not just one that can be fixed with a more simple economic focus. Gorbachev's team started to realize that countries’ economic struggles were actually just the symptom of the underlying "disease," which is a social and cultural one. It also makes apparent that Gorbachev's steps weren't one whole master plan; his strategy evolved over time. He realized that earlier measures were either unsuccessful or constrained by a too rigid system and the elites, and that they needed a deeper lying change and more support within the country. The move towards glasnost can be seen as the turn around from trying to treat the symptoms (the economy) to attempting to treat the underlying social issues by getting the public’s support. This reminder and also takeaway stays relevant today. Economic problems, maybe even in modern European countries, are often just the surface of, in reality, much deeper lying and more complicated societal issues.

    1. Depending on a coach’s primary responsi- bilities, he or she may choose to develop the capacity of other teachers to serve as mentors for novice or new-to-the-school teachers.

      It is interesting that until now as a coach I did not have to include student data as part of my evaulation. This year I do and I am struggling with how to write my goal. It is hard to do when my goal is buidling capacity in the teacher and there is nothing in the rubric about students.

    2. hen the district or state requires in- duction and mentoring, a coach serving as a mentor or mentor coordinator may support new teachers or mentors in meeting and documenting various induction and orienta- tion requirements,

      Our district redid the induction process this year and it is much more clear which is really helpful!

Acclimation, often referred to as orientation or on-boarding, is the process of helping a new employee understand the rules of the road, such as the schedule for the school day, where to find answers to questions about employment benefits, or procedures for per- formance reviews.

      This year I created a new to the document with lots of important links and went over it with all that were new to the building. I got a lot of positive feedback on it. I spoke with people who were relatively new and asked them what they wish they knew when they started to help me.

    1. Successful inclusive classrooms should set forth a vision where all children are not only welcomed, but challenged and supported to be their best.

      Reflects the goal of true inclusion: every student is valued, supported, and encouraged to grow academically and socially. How can teachers create a classroom culture that values each student’s unique contributions while supporting social and academic growth?

    2. Simply implementing major behavioral approaches to deal with children with special needs fails to examine the underlying need of all children to be recognized as a contributing member of their peer group.

      Shows that inclusion is more than behavior management—it’s about social belonging.

    3. it's important that educators consider models that place social, emotional and academic development on equal footing and do so by making use of social learning programs such as the Responsive Classroom

      Highlights the importance of balancing academics with social/emotional learning for all students, including those with disabilities.

    4. Mrs. Sheridan stated in her interview, "…all students benefitted from the social experiences of the Morning Meeting. Social behaviors were taught and modeled for all...The humor, songs, and positive statements created a 'campfire' atmosphere where they could be successful.

      Shows fairness, respect, and individualized support in practice; could reflect on how these strategies might be applied in your own classroom experiences.

      How can teachers create a classroom culture where all students feel valued and supported, not just treated equally?

    5. 19 out of 20 students within the class who were interviewed could provide examples of how their teacher made everyone feel included.

      Evidence that the Responsive Classroom approach effectively promotes inclusion

    6. Responsive Classroom® activities get everyone participating and help them internalize the expectation that all students are valued members of the classroom community.

      Emphasizes the focus on inclusion and community, not just academic skills.

    7. How the adults at school work together is as important as individual competence: lasting change begins with the adult community.

      Which principle would be hardest to implement in a real classroom? I think knowing each child individually can be challenging in large classrooms but is essential for supporting inclusion and social growth.

    8. Knowing the children we teach – individually, culturally, and developmentally – is as important as knowing the content we teach.

      Emphasizes understanding students needs to support inclusion.

    9. Morning Meeting.

      Morning Meeting is important because it gives all students a predictable routine to participate, build friendships, and practice social skills. I notice in classrooms that activities like Morning Meeting help students with disabilities feel part of the group and learn from peers. I also see them eager to participate in the classroom.

    10. Mere placement of students with disabilities within a general education classroom does not necessarily promote the growth and development of their social skills.

      IDEA requires that all students have access to general education, but I see firsthand that placement alone isn’t enough for true inclusion. Planned strategies and support are essential to help students with disabilities develop social skills and participate fully in the classroom community.

      What other strategies could help students like Matthew besides peer support?

    1. Different communities may be interested in the sameobject (e.g. a stone in the field [or a given book]) butmay interpret it differently (e.g. from an archeologicalor geological point of view). What is informative(and thus information) depends on the point of viewof the specific community.
