Extractions: INVOLVING HISPANIC PARENTS IN EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES THROUGH COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS Alicia Salinas Sosa University of Texas at San Antonio Research In Practice Abstract This article is based on a literature review of school districts' successful practices in involving Hispanic parents, particularly migrant and immigrant parents, in their children's school activities. It presents a brief overview of the tradition of parental involvement, followed by a force field analysis of factors, which facilitate or hinder the involvement in education of this population. Finally, the author presents promising practices which result in higher levels of involvement and, most importantly, foster positive relationships. Sections of the article You may have overheard school personnel express concerns about the low participation level of Hispanic parents in school activities. Lack of participation may stem from dissonance-parents' beliefs and expectations vary from those of the schools and those parents traditionally engaged in the public schools. A literature review was conducted in response to several school districts seeking appropriate strategies for involving Hispanic families. This article explores some of the basic misunderstandings; provides a different way of looking at the challenge of involving Hispanic parents, particularly those who may be migrant or immigrants; and presents strategies that resulted in successful experiences with these parents.

Extractions: (Commentary appearing in the Chicago Tribune on March 29, 2002.) When Ronald Reagan fell at his home last year, it brought to our attention a growing public health problem. Falls caused or led to 15,400 deaths in America last year. More than half of all falls occur in the home or on home premises. But the fall that ended former Washington Post Co. chairman Katharine Graham's life happened in a public place. Both Reagan and Graham were over 80 years of age at the time of their falls. While all age groups are vulnerable, 60 percent of fall-related deaths occur among people 65 and older. Falls are the No. 1 cause of injury-related death for males 80 and older and for females 75 and older. One-fourth of those who sustain a hip fracture die within one year and another 50 percent never return to their prior level of mobility or independence. This growing national problem has not gone unnoticed in Washington. Sen. Tim Hutchinson (R-Ark.) and Rep. Frank Pallone Jr. (D-N.J.), strongly supported by the National Safety Council (NSC), have introduced the bipartisan Elder Fall Prevention Act of 2002 in the Senate and the House. At a press conference introducing the bill in February, Hutchinson said, "The Elder Fall Prevention Act will provide needed resources for education, research and demonstration projects aimed at reducing the risk of falls, identifying vulnerable populations and preventing repeat falls."

Getting Started on the Internet Technology in the Classroom Article T E C H N O L O G Y A R T I C L E In the beginning, when the Internet was new, many schools attempted to tame that vast, lawless and largely mysterious land by establishing strict standards and rules known as acceptable use policies (AUPs). Now, according to instructional technology consultant David Warlick, many of those original policies are out of date. New technologies, Warlick says, allow schools to protect students without limiting the teacher's ability to provide valuable collaborative learning experiences. Isn't it time you rethought your AUP?

Extractions: Strategies from members of the ACE Internationalization Collaborative During plenary and small group sessions at the Annual Collaborative Meeting (January 2002), participants discussed the following: The following strategies emerged from discussions: Engage faculty in development and leadership of education abroad programs. Facilitate faculty exchange agreements. Financially support faculty travel abroad. Offer incentives for curriculum development. ... Transform hiring, tenure, and promotion criteria. From these discussions, further questions also emerged: Is transformation of the curriculum and campus culture a goal of engaging faculty in internationalization projects? Is it assumed that faculty who are engaged in education abroad or faculty exchange, for example, will transform their curriculum when they return? Is it necessary to put more strategies in place that ensure faculty have the time, resources, motivation, and other support to engage in internationalizing the curriculum, as a result of an experience abroad or other development opportunity? Finally, do hiring, tenure, and promotion criteria need to be rewritten to promote further faculty engagement?

Extractions: In the area of fusion research and development, Japan is recognized as one of the leading nations of the world together with Europe, USA and Russian Federation. Fusion reactor development is a long-term project which requires large resources both in man-power and in fund. It covers also broad area of science and technology. International cooperation has been recognized quite efficient in avoiding unnecessary duplication and in enhancing world's fusion program. JAERI is carrying out various international cooperation in fusion through multilateral cooperation under International Energy Agency (IEA) in Organization for Economics Cooperation and Development (OECD), International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and bilateral cooperation such as Japan-US cooperation. The multilateral and bilateral cooperation carried out in JAERI are summarized in Table IV. 1-1 and IV. 1-2 Under the coordination of International Fusion Research Council, IAEA holds various conferences such as the International Fusion Energy Conference and Technical Committee Meeting (TCM).

INSC Of Ukraine : Introduction Working together, the centers have initiated activities and collaborative researchprojects that address internationally identified nuclear safety issues. http://www.insc.gov.ua/intro.html
Extractions: International Nuclear Safety Centers (INSCs) have been established in several countries to promote the open exchange of nuclear safety information, to cooperate in the development of technologies associated with nuclear power engineering, and to be international centers for the collection of important information on nuclear safety and technical improvements in nuclear technology. The INSCs sponsor scientific research activities in form of collaborative projects between their international partner organizations, who each have established nuclear safety centers in their respective country. INSC activities are currently focused on Soviet-designed nuclear power plants in Russia and Eastern Europe. Historically, the US, Russia, as well as the other countries, have had significant research programs on many of the topics that are vital to the safety of nuclear reactors. Unique capabilities and strengths have been developed in each country over the years. The leaders of those countries have recognized that we can build on this combination of strengths by engaging in collaborative research. This approach will apply the best talents to the problems that must be addressed and it will maximize the benefits that can be derived from the available resources.
