  • Parker Publishing Submissions on 2009-12-04
      • Heroine must be a three-dimensional character (avoid stereotypes) and financially independent with an interesting profession or career. She should be sensitive, warm, charming and easily relatable. We welcome ALL size heroines, and would love to see a happy, well-adjusted plus-sized diva who gets the hunk.
      • While people in real life do swear, try to keep the use of profanity to a minimum in dialogue or narrative.  Vulgar language, especially in intimate scenes between the hero and heroine, is never a substitute for

  • Are There Things My Child Should Know Before Entering Second Grade? on 2009-08-12

    • It also doesn’t mean that your child will be able to read every word, or even be able to sound out every word. It certainly doesn’t mean that your child will enjoy reading. It simply means that, before entering second grade, your child should be able to read a great many words, to understand very simple sentences, to recognize certain words that are especially frequent, and to know how to sound out many other words.


      In terms of mathematics, there are also things that your child should know before entering second grade. He should be able to do at a minimum, single digit addition and subtraction. He should probably have a grasp on two-digit addition and subtraction, and many students will be able to do three digits. He should be able to count to 100 or higher, and should be able to count by 2s and by 5s and by 10s. He should understand the idea of a story problem, how it relates to math, as well as a number sentence. He should also understand concepts of greater than, less than, and equal to.

  • Office of Compliance, Student Policy, Research & Assessment on 2009-04-20
    • students should not be allowed to use calculators as an
      accommodation to a learning disability if a primary purpose of the exam
      is to measure computation. If computation is not the primary skill that
      the test is intended to measure, then an appropriate calculator
      may be permitted to accommodate a disability. The judgment as to whether
      assessing computation skills is a primary purpose should be made by the
      faculty member(s) or academic department responsible for the examination
      in question. Such judgments may not be arbitrary and should be supported
      with reference to existing documents (e.g., course descriptions, catalog
      copy, course syllabi or test manuals) related to the basic skills requirements
      or courses designed to teach such skills.
    • t has been suggested that students with
      learning disabilities affecting the acquisition of skills in math should
      be allowed to waive out of proficiency testing in math altogether. To
      the extent the purpose of proficiency testing is to insure that post-secondary
      students have basic skills in various subject matters as required by state
      mandates, neither the ADA nor Section 504 requires that such requirements
      be waived for students unable to satisfy them on account of a disability.
      Some academic units at Rutgers have nevertheless entertained requests
      from their students with learning disabilities to substitute proficiency
      in different but related subject matters (e.g. a logic or computer-programming
      course as a substitute for a mathematics course) as an accommodation to
      a disability. A decision to grant or deny such a request is within the
      discretion of the appropriate academic body (usually a scholastic standing
      committee) in each degree-granting unit.

  • Education World® Stage a Debate: A Primer for Teachers (Lincoln-Douglas Debate Format) on 2009-04-19
    • Tag Team Debate strategy -- This strategy can be used to help students learn about a topic before a debate, but it is probably better used when opening up discussion after a formal debate or as an alternative to the Lincoln-Douglas format. In a tag team debate, each team of five members represents one side of a debatable question. Each team has a set amount of time (say, 5 minutes) to present its point of view. When it's time for the team to state its point of view, one speaker from the team takes the floor. That speaker can speak for no more than 1 minute, and must "tag" another member of the team to pick up the argument before the minute is up. Team members who are eager to pick up on or add to the team's argument, can put out a hand to be tagged. That way,
