A Collaborative Approach: Two Perspectives
This article is a story of collaboration between a principal, Baek Chong, and the mathematics coach, Megan Farrelly. This article shows both perspectives: Baek\u27s thoughts are written in regular typeface, whereas Megan\u27s perspective is italicized. Both educators work at Mark Twain Middle School in Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia which has nearly 900 seventh- and eighth-grade students. Twain Middle School serves a diverse population, of which about 35% of the students arc on free or reduced lunch, 15% receive special education services, 14% receive English language services, and 40% of the students are in the advanced academics program
A Collaborative Approach to Computational Reproducibility
Although a standard in natural science, reproducibility has been only
episodically applied in experimental computer science. Scientific papers often
present a large number of tables, plots and pictures that summarize the
obtained results, but then loosely describe the steps taken to derive them. Not
only can the methods and the implementation be complex, but also their
configuration may require setting many parameters and/or depend on particular
system configurations. While many researchers recognize the importance of
reproducibility, the challenge of making it happen often outweigh the benefits.
Fortunately, a plethora of reproducibility solutions have been recently
designed and implemented by the community. In particular, packaging tools
(e.g., ReproZip) and virtualization tools (e.g., Docker) are promising
solutions towards facilitating reproducibility for both authors and reviewers.
To address the incentive problem, we have implemented a new publication model
for the Reproducibility Section of Information Systems Journal. In this
section, authors submit a reproducibility paper that explains in detail the
computational assets from a previous published manuscript in Information

Rushes video summarization using a collaborative approach
This paper describes the video summarization system developed by the partners of the K-Space European Network of Excellence for the TRECVID 2008 BBC rushes summarization evaluation. We propose an original method based on individual content segmentation and selection tools in a collaborative system. Our system is organized in several steps. First, we segment the video, secondly we identify relevant and redundant segments, and finally, we select a subset of segments to concatenate and build the final summary with video acceleration incorporated. We analyze the performance of our system through the TRECVID evaluation
A collaborative approach to managing sleep problems
In response to the local need for advice and support for parents of children and young people with
learning disabilities, a structured 3 week sleep clinic was developed by a community team who
targeted a small group of parents and carers and provided individualised sleep care plans. The clinic
was evaluated very positively by parents, resulting in an ongoing sleep clinic programme; and the
procedure has been shared with another Disabled Children's Team. Further evaluation could be
implemented to strengthen findings; however, it may be useful to share these initial findings more
widely with other localities
A collaborative approach to improving youth mental health.
Nga Taiohi Whai Marama / Youth Connex was developed collaboratively by three organisations: Health Waikato Mental Health, Te Runanga o Kirikiriroa, and Linkage. These organisations had a vision of creating greater integration and improved pathways between youth and mental health services, as well as providing a service explicitly based on youth-friendly principles. The key aims of Whai Marama Youth Connex are to improve youthâs access to services and contribute to the development of a youth service-provider network. To fulfil this we aim to provide a range of services, integrated pathways and capacity building on several levels, the client level, the provider level and the funder level. Debbie Goodwin (Tuhoe) was employed as the Manager of the service and has a key role in developing the organisation, planning and shaping its services, and employing and managing itsâ staff. She will give an overview of how the service is developing in partnership and biculturally, how youth-friendly principles are enacted, and what some of the key issues have been in its early stages
Better Together: A Collaborative Approach to Graduate Student Affairs
As the student affairs profession evolves to better support the needs of
graduate students, a re-building of the relationship between academic
and student affairs is vital for the success of graduate student support
programs. Rates of mental illness are extremely high in the graduate
population, and this trend is closely related to elevated attrition rates
in recent years. Universities are attempting to support their graduate
students through this crisis via separate faculty- and student affairsled
initiatives, which have been ineffective in addressing the needs of
todayâs graduate population. Partnering with faculty members will result
in holistic interventions that support studentsâ needs both inside and
outside of the classroom
What are Funds of Knowledge? A Collaborative Approach to Education
It is important as educators to have a holistic understanding of studentsâ identities as these experiences influence classroom dynamics. As noted by Dugan (2017), ââŠidentity, knowledge, and power are influenced profoundly by ideology and hegemony and in turn play a role in shaping peopleâs stocks of knowledgeâ (p. 40). âStocks of knowledgeâ are characterized by five principles: they are familiar, serve to help navigate the world, âshaped by lived experience, altered only through novel situations, and socially constructed based on identityâ (Dugan, 2017, p. 34). These âstocks of knowledgeâ are also known as âfunds of knowledgeâ by multicultural educators.https://digitalscholarship.unlv.edu/btp_expo/1052/thumbnail.jp
