Given the primary role of teachers in affecting student achievement, U.S. policy makers and reformers have increasingly focused on monitoring and evaluating teacher effectiveness by emphasizing the links to student [...]

The article reports on the academic programs that aims to develop skills for productive lives and work in a global economy such as the Global Education Achievement Certificate of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. Topics mentioned include the state funds for the academic programs, the insights of Christine Damm of the Ripon Area School District on the importance of academic programs, and the promotion of educational equality and global education.

What if every child could have a global experience? While such an idea might sound far-fetched, one school district is trying to change the narrative about access to study abroad through a large, fully-funded, district-wide global travel program.

The poem "If I Were to Rise Up All Colorless," by Laura Eve Engel is presented. First Line: I could gather up old thoughts the way; Last Line: I am arranged and disrupted!

Abstract. Hydrogels based on poly (N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone) (PVP) obtained by ionizing radiation are sterile, biocompatible can be used as topics dressings. Due to the high degree of hydration of the gel, it has a low mechanical strength, which is one of the biggest problems in its application. The objective of this work was to study the properties of the hydrogel based on PVP / sodium alginate containing pseudoboehmites nanoparticles treated with octadecylamine for pharmaco applications, order drug release when immobilized on a matrix of PVP/sodium alginate/pseudoboehmite. Pseudoboehmite nanoparticles were obtained by sol-gel route, from aluminum nitrate and ammonia as precursors, and subsequently were treated with octadecylamine. The hydrogels based on PVP/sodium alginate/pseudoboehmite treated were prepared by ionizing radiation with doses of 30 and 35kGy. The characterization of hydrogels obtained was made by means of thermomechanical (tensile tests, DTA and TG) and physicochemical (swelling, sol-gel fraction) tests. The results obtained showed that the hydrogel based only on PVP and sodium alginate showed highest tensile strength. The presence of pseudoboehmite in the hydrogels decreases the formation of crosslinks, while the presence of PEG in the agar and causes a decrease in Tg of the polymer matrix.

An excerpt from the poem "I Write to You From the Sea," Laura Eve Engel is presented.

The article focuses on the ideals of international education in the U.S. for sustainable global citizenship, as. It highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on international education, the mobility of international students and financial conditions of higher education institutions in the U.S. It also reflects on educational practices for global citizenship and diversity, equity and inclusion in education.

The author reflects on the selection of materials by artists. She states that she has always seen the artist's choice of materials as a political gesture. She relates that the first piece she used knitting in was her daughters layette. The author thinks the constructions of meanings that her work discloses are directly tied to the formation of national and cultural identities.
