SWIS data As I start to review the SWIS data my hope would be that the number of aggressive referrals would start to go down. I would like to see a downward trend in the number of aggressive referrals during recess time. I would build a spread sheet that would show the number of referrals before the structured recess was implemented, then the number of referrals half way through the implementation period, and then the final numbers at the conclusion of the research project. The hope is that…

Simmons and Sutter examined the impact of the installation of Doppler radar on the quality of tornado warnings and occurrence of tornado casualties. The researchers provided information on what Doppler radars were used, such as the Next Generation Radar (NEXRAD) and WSR-88D radars. The NEXRAD radar system has 159 radars in the United States (U.S.) and overseas, as well as 121 radars installed at National Weather Service (NWS) Weather Forecast offices. The NEXRAD system is used to monitor and…

According to Enhanced Fujita Scale, the tornadoes in the United States and Canada can be rated in six categories: EF0, EF1, EF2, EF3, EF4 and EF5. Scale Wind speed (mph) Rating classifications EF0 65–85 Weak EF1 86–110 Weak EF2 111–135 Strong and significant EF3 136–165 Strong, significant and intense EF4 166–200 Violent, significant and intense EF5 >200 Violent, significant and intense Figure 1. The six categories of tornadoes of the Enhanced Fujita Scale EF5 tornadoes have happened in the…

characteristics for the corresponding regions. Incorporating stylistic features of another culture while composing for a Western audience as described by Locke’s idea of transcultural composing, is realized in this set. Debussy’s incorporation of distinctive scales, rhythmic patterns, harmonies, and colors commonly associated with the exotic also follows Locke’s idea of submerged exoticism. La soirée dans Grenade allows both submerged exoticism and transcultural composing to intersect. Although…

What is the Anthropocene? What is the Anthropocene, and why is it important? According to Paul Robbins, John Hintz, and Sarah A Moore (2014), the Anthropocene is an expression that is occasionally used in order to describe our current geologic epoch. It is said to have started from the time people first started having a control over ecosystems; influencing environmental ecologies all over the world (Robbins, Hintz, & Moore, 2014 p.4). With this definition, it is implied that humans have had a…

Effects on Classroom Structure on Student Achievement goals Orientation, by Shannon R. Self-Brown and Samuel Mathews II, was published in The Journal of Educational Research in 2003. In the study, Self-Brown and Mathews wanted to study the effect of how three different types of classroom structures affect the goals that students set for themselves. In today’s schools students consistently show a lack of motivation. They take for granted the educational opportunity that is in front of them.…

they told you what they wanted. 3. Unique grading scales It can be hard enough t get a 90 percent for an A, ever harder is having to get a 93 to get an A because the professor has created their own rouge grading scale. Grading scales can be complicated enough, but there is always a few professor who feel the need to overcomplicate things through the use of weighted grade scales, and other strange and unique scales. The use of these grading scales end hurting the students then helping them,…

Unlike the East coast, the natural disaster that is most common in the West coast is earthquakes. As common as earthquakes are, there are only so much we know about the elements involved; such as fault lines. The topics discussed are what and where earthquakes occur, its history, and earthquake preparation in California. Earthquakes are known worldwide as a shaking of the ground. However, this just how people see the phenomenon where destruction follows. According to Christopher Scholz and his…

Oklahoma County has not been really active. Before the earthquake swarm started in the Jones area, there was only 7 earthquakes per year in Oklahoma County. But, since the Jones swarm started, there are a few hundred earthquakes per year. And, since January 2009, eastern Oklahoma County has been shaking off and on. Most of the quakes are around Jones, Oklahoma. The Oklahoma Geological Survey was interested in the 10,000 percent increase in seismic activity. Austin Holland, a seismologist for the…
