Book Description
Writing assessment programs help place entering and mid-career students in composition courses at the appropriate level, monitor the progress of those students, and assist in placing them in writing courses throughout their undergraduate careers. These same universities also have writing instruction programs, which might include writing centers, writing-across-the-curriculum initiatives, and freshman and advanced composition programs. At many institutions, though, writing assessment is not necessarily considered fundamental to writing instruction, and there is little communication between the assessment program and the composition program. This book demonstrates that writing assessment and instruction programs may be successfully integrated. The contributors analyze the development of the writing assessment and instruction program at Washington State University, which is nationally recognized for its success. In doing so, they provide guidance to other institutions planning to develop similar integrated programs. The volume argues that writing assessment and instruction should inform and influence each other; that they should evolve together; and that they should be developed locally. By tracing the success of the WSU program, the authors directly challenge the use of national packaged assessment programs, such as standardized placement tests.

Beyond Common Sense
Author: Fred Wulczyn
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351327984
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
Helping vulnerable children develop their full potential is an attractive idea with broad common-sense appeal. However, child well-being is a broad concept, and the legislative mandate for addressing well-being in the context of the current child welfare system is not particularly clear. This volume asserts that finding a place for well-being on the list of outcomes established to manage the child welfare system is not as easy as it first appears. The overall thrust of this argument is that policy should be evidence-based, and the available evidence is a primary focus of the book. Because policymakers have to make decisions that allocate resources, a basic understanding of incidence in the public health tradition is important, as is evidence that speaks to the question of what works clinically. The rest of the book addresses the evidence. Chapter 2 integrates bio-ecological and public health perspectives to give the evidence base coherence. Chapters 3 and 4 combine evidence from the National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System, the Multistate Foster Care Data Archive, and the National Survey of Child and Adolescent Well-Being to offer an unprecedented profile of children as they enter the child welfare system. Chapters 5 and 6 address the broad question of what works. A concluding chapter focuses on policy and future directions, suggesting that children starting out, children starting school, and children starting adolescence are high-risk populations for which explicit strategies have to be formed. This timely volume offers useful insights into the child welfare system and will be of particular interest to policymakers, academics with an interest in Child Welfare Policy, Social Work educators, and Child Advocates.

Publisher: Psychology Press
ISBN: 1134797028
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
This volume provides in-depth coverage of a key piece of today's human resource selection technology--the viability of alternatives to paper and pencil multiple-choice selection tests. Each chapter of this edited volume presents an intensive examination of a key "alternative to multiple-choice testing." The content of the book's chapters ranges from reviews of issues associated with, and evidence available for, the use of particular selection text alternatives (computerized testing, performance assessments) to empirical investigation of other alternatives (biodata, creative skills); from examination of standards for choosing among selection tests to practitioners' and test takers' perspectives. This book is important for researchers and practitioners in the human resource selection field who have wanted a resource that provides a comprehensive examination of multiple-choice selection testing and its alternatives.

Esophageal Cancer and Beyond
Author: Jianyuan Chai
Publisher: BoD – Books on Demand
ISBN: 1789844126
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 94
Book Description
Human life relies on two basic supplies from nature: oxygen and food. Oxygen can be utilized directly, but food has to go through a process of digestion to become usable nutrients. The esophagus represents the beginning of this long journey. Because of its critical location, esophageal cancer is one of the deadliest malignancies in the world, and furthermore its incidence has been rising steadily year after year while other cancers are declining. It is predicted that by the year 2035 the esophageal cancer population will increase by 77.4% and become one of top global concerns. This book covers many aspects of esophageal cancer, through which we hope to raise the awareness of professionals as well as non-professionals about this disease.

Beyond the European Left
Author: Herbert Kitschelt
Publisher: Durham [N.C.] : Duke University Press
ISBN:
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
Drawing on recent research on the internal politics of the Belgian ecology parties, Agalev and Ecolo, this work demonstrates how political careers in contemporary social movements lead to activism in left-libertarian politics and influence political ideology. Beyond the European Left is the first comprehensive survey of ecology parties in Europe that presents detailed empirical information on the careers, organizational practices, and political beliefs of the activists involved. The authors employ a new research methodology--surveying party militants--that is better adapted to the study of micropolitics than are expert interviews. Herbert Kitschelt and Staf Hallemans show that European Green party activists express an egalitarian and libertarian vision of a desirable social order that builds on, but radically transforms, ideas of the traditional socialist European left. The authors then examine the debates and disagreements among militants on political objectives and the consequences of conflicting views for party organization and strategy. Their findings illuminate the unique dynamics of left-libertarian politics in a number of Western European countries with obvious relevance to current developments in Eastern Europe.

“Life, Light and Love Beyond Covid,” is the story of Kelly’s struggle for her very life; as told by her husband Tim.

It’s the story of a dedicated hospital staff, the turmoil of family and friends, and the depiction of how a wife’s love, and God’s grace, can rescue a man adrift. She was vibrant and carefree just days prior; but mid-morning of October 3, 2021 found my wife of 39 years on full life support. I watched as the machine breathed for her. I was soon asked to add “Do Not Resuscitate,” to Kelly’s orders. We reluctantly decided to add those distressing words. This could not be happening. In a nightmare from which I could not awake cold sweat gushed, hope faded, and darkness grew. Kelly would spend 17 days on full ventilation, 43 days in Intensive Care, and a record 80 total days hospitalized. She would enduring life threatening complications, and be near death several times. Could God perform the miracles necessary to sustain Kelly’s life? I pray that you are intrigued enough to read the true story of her courage. As the journey unfolds we will perceive God’s love in the lessons the journey imparts. No matter how dreadful the situation, in our most desperate moments we learn that we can speak to the living God, and He will answer. May you receive hope as you read and discover how God can grant us: “Hope for miracles always.”

This edition includes a new introduction by Ian Budge.
