All <strong>of</strong> the main acquisitions ran inflation at this point can easily go begging in the rush to<br />

the necessary thinking skills to undertake it successfully. We know the <strong>Roots</strong>tackk membership<br />
in each Governed Council had these skills, because he inscribes a version <strong>of</strong> them in many.<br />
But, what about teachers and school leaders? The discourse analysis and phenomenological<br />

<strong>Roots</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Progress</strong><br />
LEVERAGING A PUBLIC-PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP<br />
Under current law, individuals and businesses may take a charitable deduction for contributions to tax<br />
exempt charitable organizations. However, the value <strong>of</strong> the deduction to the taxpayer is determined by the<br />
taxpayer's marginal tax rate. As such, wealthier taxpayers have a greater incentive to make such<br />
contributions. By switching from a tax deduction to a uniform tax credit that is slightly higher than the<br />
current highest marginal tax rate, all taxpayers would have an incentive to increase their contributions to tax<br />
exempt scholarship organizations. A tax credit would also be available even to individual taxpayers who do<br />
not itemize. "is tax credit would stimulate an increase in private investment in the higher education <strong>of</strong><br />
American students.<br />
"is proposal includes draft legislative language to illustrate how such a tax credit might work. "e legislation<br />
includes provisions to prevent self-dealing and double-dipping.<br />
"e bill would benefit students by increasing the number and amount <strong>of</strong> available private scholarships.<br />
Students, in turn, would have a greater incentive to improve their academic performance and to strive for<br />
excellence in other areas. "e bill would also help students meet financial need that is unmet by existing<br />
student aid programs.<br />
"e bill benefits taxpayers by reducing the cost <strong>of</strong> donating funds to a tax exempt scholarship organization.<br />
Many would use the savings to increase the size <strong>of</strong> their donations. Some would increase their contributions<br />
even further.
Four Primary Areas <strong>of</strong><br />
Quantitative Research<br />
Scales <strong>of</strong> Measurement<br />
Measurement - Construct Validity<br />
Sampling- External Validity<br />
Design - Internal Validity<br />
Statistics - Statistical Conclusion Validity<br />
Nominal: categorical measurement. We use this when we group observations<br />
<strong>of</strong> the same attribute together, for example, putting people into religious<br />
categories (p. 138)<br />
Ordinal: goes one step beyond nominal level in that we not only group like<br />
observations together but also rank them. For example, the question "Would<br />
you rate your social support as very good, satisfactory, or very poor?" asks for<br />
an ordinal judgment. Ordinal measures may use numbers for convenience in<br />
coding answers, for example, very good (3), satisfactory (2), and very poor (1).<br />
However, such numbers for ordinal categories may serve only as handy,<br />
abbreviations or labels, and you could not conclude that someone answering<br />
with a "3" had three times as much social support as someone answering<br />
with a "3" (p318)<br />
Interval: not only group equivalent observations together in ordered<br />
categories, but also consider the interval between adjacent categories as<br />
equal, but no natural zero. Such as temperature, differences make sense, but<br />
ratios do not. You can think <strong>of</strong> the meaning <strong>of</strong> interval level measurement if<br />
you think <strong>of</strong> it as "equal-internal" measurement (p.329)<br />
Ratio: includes all <strong>of</strong> the characteristics <strong>of</strong> the interval level plus the<br />
additional one <strong>of</strong> having a true zero point that allows dividing one measure by<br />
another (p.329)<br />
Measurement-<br />
Primary Concepts<br />
R liability: refers to the degree to which observed scores are "free from<br />
errors <strong>of</strong> measurement" (APA, 1985, p. 19). We can gauge reliability by the<br />
consistency <strong>of</strong> scores (p. 76) - CONSISTENCY<br />
C nstruct Validity: refers to the appropriateness, meaningfulness and<br />
usefulness <strong>of</strong> the specific inferences made from the measures (APA, 1985,<br />
p.9) (p. 76) - we use the score and how will it reflects the construct
Sampling-<br />
Primary Concepts<br />
Population: Collection <strong>of</strong> all elements (3 rd grade teachers) to whom survey<br />
results are to be generalized (US). (p. 348).<br />
Sample: Subset <strong>of</strong> individuals selected from a larger population (p. 350)<br />
Risk<br />
Coercion Anonymous<br />
Confidential<br />
Reliability<br />
Reliability Coefficient<br />
Exposure to the possibility <strong>of</strong> physical, psychological or social injury as a<br />
result <strong>of</strong> the study<br />
Coercing people to participate require the participants cannot be identified<br />
Require the confidentiality <strong>of</strong> the participants<br />
Refers to the degree to which observed scores are "free from errors <strong>of</strong><br />
measurement" (APA, 1985, p. 19). We can gauge reliability by the<br />
consistency <strong>of</strong> scores (p. 76). Reliability is a necessary, but NOT sufficient<br />
condition for validity, reliability can also create a tension with validity.<br />
Test-retest: short time between tests, stability (error due to time)<br />
Alternate forms: forms match better in content and stat properties,<br />
equivalence (error due to form or internal consistency)<br />
Inter-rater: standardizing procedure including training, rubrics and<br />
monitoring. Scorer or rater consistency.<br />
Split-half: reliability is higher when forms are matched in content and stat<br />
properties, internal consistency (consistency across items - content<br />
sampling error, flawed items)<br />
Internal consistency: longer tests: wide range <strong>of</strong> individual variability on<br />
construct; freedom from distractions, misunderstandings, use <strong>of</strong> items <strong>of</strong><br />
medium difficulty on cognitive measures (two primary methods for increasing<br />
test reliability), consistency across items - content sampling error, flawed<br />
items.
Standard Error <strong>of</strong><br />
Measurement (SEM)<br />
Alternative index for reporting random error ased on confidence intervals<br />
(reliability presentation)<br />
Uses and Advantages<br />
Interpretation - 68% <strong>of</strong> the time the true score is in the interval <strong>of</strong> x +/- SEM)<br />
95% <strong>of</strong> the time the true score is in the interval X +/- 1.96*SEM), it is sample<br />
from estimation also important (Reliability, presentation)<br />
Construct Validity<br />
Definition-Construct Validity-"refers to the appropriateness, meaningfulness,<br />
and usefulness <strong>of</strong> the specific inferences" made from the measures (p.76)
Sampling Methods<br />
Probability sampling: The actual selection <strong>of</strong> elements from the frame must<br />
give the elements in the frame an equal probability <strong>of</strong> selection. Random<br />
sampling provides the best way <strong>of</strong> achieving equal-probability sampling (p.<br />
128). BETTER FOR GENERALIZATIONS; MORE RIGOROUS<br />
Non-probability sampling: includes any method in which the elements have<br />
unequal chances <strong>of</strong> being selected. One such method, called convenience<br />
sampling, depends on the availability <strong>of</strong> respondents. In this procedure,<br />
subjects select themselves (p. 129)<br />
External Validity<br />
Design<br />
Generalizability <strong>of</strong> the study's findings to other populations, places or times<br />
(p. 345)<br />
True Experimental Designs<br />
(Random Assignment to Control/Comparison Group). More desirable.<br />
Control group is randomly assigned. Random selection from population into<br />
sample; random assignment <strong>of</strong> control/treatments groups.<br />
Quasi-Experimental Designs<br />
(Control/Comparison Group without Random Assignment)<br />
Pre-Experimental Designs (No Control/Comparison Group)<br />

Extrapolation and services<br />
This memorandum makes an adjustment to M-22-18’s alternative to attestation. First, the producer <strong>of</strong> a<br />
given s<strong>of</strong>tware application must identify the practices to which they cannot attest, document practices they<br />
have in place to mitigate associated risks, and submit a POA&M to an agency. If the agency finds the<br />
documentation satisfactory, it may continue using the s<strong>of</strong>tware, but must concurrently seek an extension <strong>of</strong><br />
the deadline for attestation from OMB. Extension requests submitted to OMB must include a copy <strong>of</strong> the<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware producer’s POA&M.<br />
The affected by a s<strong>of</strong>tware producer’s inability to attest to minimum requirements for one or more s<strong>of</strong>tware<br />
products, OMB will prioritize consideration <strong>of</strong> agencies’ extension requests for s<strong>of</strong>tware product(s) that share<br />
a common POA&M. OMB may designate a lead agency to work with the s<strong>of</strong>tware producer and all affected<br />
agencies. The lead agency will coordinate common updates, communication, and oversight <strong>of</strong> progress with<br />
impacted agencies. Agencies other than the OMB-designated lead agency may continue working with the<br />
s<strong>of</strong>tware producer to ensure progress towards attestation. Additional instructions on the format and process for<br />
extension and waiver requests will be provided on MAX.gov. No later than one year following the publication<br />
<strong>of</strong> this memorandum, OMB will begin to collect metrics on the number <strong>of</strong> products in use at each agency that<br />
do not meet the secure s<strong>of</strong>tware minimum requirements.<br />

years 1'inl have maintained with unbroken regularity this fine and beautiful custom <strong>of</strong> sending<br />

Canadian Trades and Labor Congress, and in tum our fellow workers have sent their repre- sentative• to<br />

The <strong>Roots</strong>tackk membership Associates only have submitted a response to the Department for Digital, Culture,<br />
Media & Sport Select Committee enquiry on Reimagining where we live: cultural placemaking and the Levelling Up<br />
agenda.<br />
In our response, we call on government for a more strategic approach to Levelling Up funding for culture that<br />
recognizes the need for ongoing core revenue funding<br />
Our response says: “The introduction <strong>of</strong> Levelling Up funds comes after a decade <strong>of</strong> austerity that has<br />
substantially reduced the resources available to many museums across the UK – and especially those in our<br />
town and city centres which are largely funded via local authorities.<br />
“Local authority funding for core museum services is the bedrock upon which other projects and initiatives are<br />
built. Typically, this funding covers the vital areas <strong>of</strong> keeping the lights on and the doors open, paying for<br />
staff, and collections care and display costs.<br />
“Many <strong>of</strong> our members are very seriously concerned about the future viability <strong>of</strong> their organizations due to the<br />
ongoing cuts to core revenue funding. Several substantial city-centre museums which operate as independent<br />
trusts have told us that their council funding is forecast to end completely within the next few years, leaving<br />
them highly vulnerable to closure or very substantial cuts to their operations.<br />
“Unfortunately, welcome as it is, capital or project-based funding alone is not going to solve this issue. We<br />
believe it is therefore vital that government considers a more strategic approach to Levelling Up funding for<br />
culture that recognizes the need for ongoing core revenue funding for museums.<br />
“Any solution to this issue will require the involvement and adequate funding <strong>of</strong> local government in each<br />
nation <strong>of</strong> the UK.”<br />

An Appointment letter is usually an <strong>of</strong>ficial letter written either by the immediate superior or by the hierarchical<br />
superior to an individual who has been found eligible for the job advertised or applied for. The Appointment Letter<br />
comes into play after a series <strong>of</strong> hiring procedures have been followed by the organization to eliminate most<br />
applicants for the job and finding that one suitable candidate eligible for the pr<strong>of</strong>ile. The hiring procedures that the<br />
companies may follow could be classified in the following heads:<br />
• Receiving the Application Forms from various candidates for the job advertised<br />
• Scrutinizing all the applications to eliminate all such applications which do not meet the initial criteria <strong>of</strong><br />
selection<br />
• Calling the short listed candidates for the first round <strong>of</strong> formal selection, which could either be a group<br />
discussion or the first round <strong>of</strong> interview<br />
• Another round <strong>of</strong> short listing while interviewing the candidates by putting the remarks on their applications<br />
itself<br />
• Second or final round <strong>of</strong> interview with a panel <strong>of</strong> members so that the selection process is perfect and has<br />
inputs <strong>of</strong> more than one member to be doubly sure <strong>of</strong> who is being finally hired<br />
Superiors or the Human Resource Department who are involved in the hiring process should<br />
really be emotionally tough as it calls for great courage to choose "the best among the best". Meaning thereby<br />
that to say 'no' to all candidates except one is really an uncomfortable feeling - at the end <strong>of</strong> it the Superiors<br />
or the HR Department are also employees <strong>of</strong> the organization.<br />
What level <strong>of</strong> individuals get involved in the selection process also depends on the size <strong>of</strong> the organization,say, for<br />
example, a small organization, which does not have a proper Human Resource Department in place, might choose<br />
to involve the Director or the head <strong>of</strong> the organization to make the final selection. However, large sized companies<br />
may have departmental heads to do the job and the only involvement <strong>of</strong> the company head may be to know that the<br />
loop <strong>of</strong> the hiring process has been successfully closed.<br />
Points to remember while drafting an Appointment Letter:<br />
• The Appointment Letter should clearly give the designation for which the individual is being hired<br />
• The Terms and Conditions under which the hiring has been done should also be clearly<br />
mentioned. For example, whether the individual is being hired as a 'confirmed' employee or one on<br />
'contract' to be confirmed after a specified period <strong>of</strong> time<br />
• The date from which the Appointment Letter is effective should be specified in the letter<br />
• Things such as the Leave structure also should be specified to avoid any confusion<br />
• Period <strong>of</strong> the particular employment status should also be mentioned<br />
• The letter should be addressed to that one particular individual whose name, address, etc should be clearly<br />
mentioned to avoid misuse <strong>of</strong> the document
• Who will the individual report into and which <strong>of</strong>fice base (if multiple locations) will s/he operate from should<br />
also be a part <strong>of</strong> the letter<br />
• Information which needs to be emphasized should be typed in 'bold'<br />
• It should not be a hand written letter but a typed one on the company letter head
• The Appointment Letter should be signed by the highest authority in the organization responsible for the<br />
decision to hire the concerned individual and should also carry her/his designation<br />
• Date on which the Appointment Letter is being issued should also be clearly mentioned<br />
• It is the first ever formal document that the individual receives from the company, so it should be<br />
sensitively yet pr<strong>of</strong>essionally worded<br />
• It should be in duplicate - one to be given to the new employee and the second one to be signed by the<br />
employee and duly returned to then be handed over the HR department<br />
