Ability of the Urban Teacher Selection Interview to Identify Teachers Who Are Likely to be Retained in the Buffalo Public Schools
The rate of teacher turnover appears to be higher than employee turnover in many other occupations. What is currently perceived as a teacher shortage may in reality be a problem of teacher retention. This study examined the use of the Urban Teacher Selection Interview, developed by Martin Haberman, Ph.D., as a tool for choosing teachers for urban districts. Almost 36% of those teachers eligible for employment in Buffalo refused employment. This compares favorably with a national average of 40% of teachers who choose not to teach. In general, the higher the interview scores the longer a teacher was retained in the district after being hired. There was no significant difference between those teachers who received a passing score under the alternate scoring procedure used in Buffalo and the traditional method of scoring the interview. As a group, pupil personnel support teachers scored highest on the interview followed by humanities, math/science and vocational teachers. Math/science teachers were retained in the District longer on average than were other groups. Average retention rates for other groups were, in descending order: humanities, vocational education, and pupil personnel support teachers. The Urban Teacher Selection Interview provided a viable method of identifying teachers who were likely to continue teaching in urban Buffalo schools after being hired

La Mural de Juan Grela. Una metáfora epistemológica
Una lectura atenta sobre el recorrido de la vida y la producción plástica de Grela -que coincide en algunos momentos con su pertenencia a diversas agrupaciones artísticas rosarinas- permite advertir su permanente búsqueda de soluciones a los problemas inherentes al lenguaje de las artes plásticas. La obra de Grela ofrece constantes respuestas a aquellas preguntas que surgen dentro de la actividad plástica, independientemente de su función representativa.
La Mural me despertó una sensación que necesito transmitir ahora: cientos de personas veíamos por primera vez esa magnífica obra del maestro Grela, de la cual se hablaba en el taller de Perassi como si fuese un epítome de toda su obra. Mi primera impresión fue que estábamos observando una especie de resumen de toda su vida.
Considero que La Mural de Grela puede interpretarse como una metáfora epistemológica, que refleja, en su estructura fragmentada, el difícil contexto histórico de la Argentina durante el extenso período que demandó su ejecución. Para fundamentar esta interpretación, desarrollo en el presente trabajo una estrategia de argumentación en siete capítulos.Fil: Frey, Patricia Margarita. Centro de Estudios Interdisciplinarios.
