Описание: First monograph to present the work of Laguardia Design Group, a highly regarded landscape architecture firm specializing in contemporary residential design in the Hamptons. With offices in Water Mill, LaGuardia Design Group is immersed in the fragile landscape of the Hamptons, both its woods and meadows and the dramatic shoreline along the Atlantic. Notable projects include the rebuilding of the dunescape surrounding a landmark Norman Jaffe house damaged by storms, collaborations with well-known contemporary architects including 1100 Architect, Bates Masi, Maya Lin Studio, and COOKFOX, and the setting for a distinguished collection of contemporary sculpture in Bridgehampton. Founded in 1994 by Christopher LaGuardia, this firm is committed to expressing the character of each site and recognized for its environmental stewardship, historic references, and meticulously designed outdoor spaces. Rather than attempting to mimic nature, LDG's goal with every design is to interpret natural processes as an artistic expression in their work. In 2013, LDG received the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) award of excellence in residential design, the highest residential award in the profession.

Описание: In 2008 LaGuardia Community College gathered a team of institutional researchers to provide evidence of challenges and achievements. This book brings together 60 studies undertaken by the team on the effectiveness of policies, the forces thwarting retention to graduation, the effectiveness of interventions, models of student persistence, and financial projections. Links to all papers and to several spreadsheet models are provided in the book.Our research measured the importance of getting students to graduation quickly, before life's events took them out of school. We also found more intensive advising to be ineffective for students on the cusp of dropping out. With each study our understanding grew.The book begins with an apparently easy question: how does changing major affect a student's chance of success? The question turned out to be challenging. The book then moves on to policy research. The team analyzed restrictions on students taking partially online courses, course load restrictions, and the limitations of high school equivalency preparation. This is followed by an exploration of the college's data and its meaning. Most of the papers referenced in this chapter were simple tests of markers of student persistence, each broadening how we conceived of the struggle students faced trying to stay in college.The book then pursues the topic of momentum. Student development leaders on campus focused on the idea that getting through college required something like mass times speed in physics. It's an attractive concept, and we set about helping them define it in ways that we could measure. In doing so, we continued to build our understanding of the forces on students that made retention to graduation so challenging.Then the book presents a technique we used to test the success of retention programs. The technique employs comparing treatment individuals with all matching control individuals. We then developed another technique for testing retention program effectiveness and for setting goals. Using our strongest variables and stepwise, logistic regression, we calculated the probability that any student would either be retained to a second semester hence or have graduated before. While the probability was conceptually appropriate for individuals, it was most accurate for groups of students. Thus, we could test actual against predicted for a program and see how well the program worked.We also developed models of retention behavior based on the work that came out of a series of interviews of students who had reduced their enrollment intensities. Their decision-making calculus could be replicated with the data from our quantitative studies.The book also presents our work with enrollment projections and modeling. Our projections lacked great sophistication, but they tended to be accurate. In addition, we used Markov Chain modeling to explore the impact on graduation rates of various retention programs. The book ends with financial modeling. We developed a method for finding the lifetime cost of graduates, transfer-out students, and dropouts. This chapter also provides a strategic financial projection model workbook that combines enrollment and salary projections. While the research techniques will be of most interest to institutional researchers, the greater understanding of student retention behavior developed in the findings provides a solid basis for program development for all higher education professionals.

Описание:
Fiorello LaGuardia is known best as the tempestuous mayor of New York City in the days when Franklin Delano Roosevelt sat in the White House. There had been, however, an earlier time, which matched his mayoralty years in sheer drama and perhaps surpassed them in lasting achievement—LaGuardia's years in Congress. He served in the House of Representative almost continuously from 1917 to 1933, representing two ethnically diverse congressional districts: the Fourteenth (Greenwich Village), from 1917 to 1919, and the Twentieth (East Harlem), from 1923 to 1933.
Although barred from important committee posts because of his political independence and thus denied from playing a direct role in lawmaking, he was a tireless and vocal champion of Progressive causes, from allowing more immigration and removing U.S. troops from Nicaragua to speaking up for the rights and livelihoods of striking miners, impoverished farmers, oppressed minorities, and struggling families. A goad to the era's plutocrats and their enablers in government, LaGuardia fought for progressive income taxes, greater government oversight of Wall Street, and national employment insurance for workers idled by the Great Depression.
In this book, first published by Cornell University Press in 1959, Howard Zinn establishes LaGuardia's tenure in Congress as a vital link between the Progressive and New Deal eras, offering a lively and informative account of his many legislative battles, his political philosophy, and the distinctly urban (specifically, New York City) sensibilities he brought to the Progressive movement.

Описание:
This is the first book-length study to investigate Freire's educational philosophy through the lens of his lifelong Catholicism. A Pedagogy of Faith explores an indispensable but often-overlooked dimension of arguably the most influential educational thinker since John Dewey, a dimension of his life's work which has received little attention outside of his native Latin America. Most of his Western supporters have viewed him as a revolutionary Marxist or a secular humanist. Leopando illustrates how Catholic theology shaped central areas of his pedagogy such as the teacher-student relationship, the purpose of education, and the "ontological vocation" of all persons for "humanization" and historical agency.
With the recent election of a Latin American Pope who vigorously proclaims a gospel of social justice, Freire's radically democratic view of education as a force for political transformation and human dignity remains profoundly relevant.
