Unrestricted, Improving educational outcomes for all students is the primary focus of educational reform movements. In an attempt to minimize the achievement gap in student performance, Response to Intervention (RTI) emphasizes the early identification of struggling students, a multi-tiered intervention model and progress monitoring.; This study provided an in-depth description of the systems and structures of the RTI framework at a single Southern California elementary school selected for being both high performing and high poverty. The research questions that guided this study were: (1) What are the trends and patterns of performance among students attending high poverty, high achieving schools, specifically students in special education? (2) What are the perceived school wide systems and structures that contribute to the high achievement in high poverty schools and have the most impact on the implementation of RTI? (3) How are organizational systems implemented and sustained to support higher levels of achievement for all students?; Qualitative data for this study were collected from interviews, observations and documents. Findings revealed that the systems of professional development, leadership and resource allocation positively influenced RTI implementation. Strong leadership provided the effective elements of: prioritizing student achievement, implementing a standards-based curriculum, using assessment data to improve instruction, and ensuring the availability of appropriate instructional resources and interventions. As RTI gains traction, this study will contribute to the knowledge of a school wide reform and its implications for success at a high poverty school.

Unrestricted, Online education is a modality of teaching that has proliferated throughout higher education in such a rapid form and without any guidelines that its quality and merit is largely unknown, hotly debated, and still evolving. Institutions have used online education as a method of reducing costs and increasing enrollments and students have flocked to online classes for their convenience and often perceived ease. This is very apparent in California's community colleges were students are filling online course offerings in record numbers.; Many studies and analyses have been done citing the relative equivalence of online education to traditional face-to-face education and sometimes the relative superior learning outcomes of online courses. This study examined the correlations between taking basic skills mathematics courses online versus face-to-face and student success and persistence. Additionally, five common online course components were identified and analyzed to determine if these components correlated to students success or persistence in of online classes.; Contrary to what much of the literature says, the difficulties associated with effective communication of mathematics topics and ideas via the Internet had no noticeable negative correlations with learning outcomes or persistence. Students who began their basic skills mathematics in an online pre-algebra class tended to persist at higher rates and earn higher grades than students who began in a traditional face-to-face pre-algebra course. This positive effect of the online classes diminished very quickly and within two classes of the online class has been completely lost. It seems that the quality of education gained from online basic skills mathematics courses is relatively equivalent to face-to-face courses.; Five common course components were analyzed in the study and it was found that only the required use of discussion boards had a significant effect on persistence and success. The use of exclusively multipl

The water reflects the plants that surround it. An earlier record reads "made the City of Riverside".

Photoprint reads: "Dug probably about 1828".; "...Mr. Pierce writes: 'I ran across it at Torres, east of Palm Springs in 1903. The approach down the steps was 20 feet below the top and the water stood 50 feet below that. I was told by Captain Torres that it was dug by his people, the Coahuillas, about 75 years before (about 1828).'" -- The Masterkey, July 1939.
