- Description:
- The methods for remaining safe and socially distanced during the Covid-19 Pandemic has created a new array of problems for low-income families; namely the critical need for food security and mental health services. As a mother and future educator, I find it important that students and families are provided with resources to help them stay healthy and motivated to learn. The theoretical framework that I used in my research paper is Self-Study. In my findings I learned that food insecurity is directly related to suicidal ideation and feelings of anxiety in young students. As of today, government programs are helping to provide necessary food benefits to keep families safe. As educators we have a role to play in helping to mitigate the negative effects of the pandemic.

- Description:
- Every year many students come into the classroom after having gone through some form of trauma whether it is a family member who has passed away, parent(s) who suffer from substance abuse or are incarcerated, experiencing or witnessing abuse, poverty, or a situational crisis, such as the loss of a home to wild fire. For children who have suffered from situations like these, learning may be the last thing on their minds. This Inquiry Research paper will help teachers and schools understand why it is so important to help our children succeed even though it may seem impossible. This research paper will also give insight into what steps and strategies teachers can take to be the most effective teacher and positive influencer of our children's education. Recommendations on how to give our students the proper resources to achieve their educational goals all while obtaining a positive attitude.

- Description:
- This study explores how white teachers can best build relationships with students of color and students living in poverty. The barriers that these students face and how to combat these challenges are explored. The importance of student-teacher relationships and parent-teacher communication is also discussed. An interview with Dr. Matthew’s, a school superintendent/principal provided insights into my problem of practice. Recommendations for the study include the importance of teachers building meaningful relationships with students of color and/or living in poverty in order to best support them.

- Praise is a consequence that consists of different features and it is used in many teaching settings. Research on quality of praise suggests that enthusiasm increases reinforcing value of praise; however, the limited research on type of praise suggests that descriptive praise may not have a discriminative function. Previous research has not altered the length of auditory feedback, even though short praise statements are recommended when using descriptive praise statements. Researchers recruited two typically developing toddlers from families who received services from the Child Development Center at California State University Stanislaus, for the present study. Researchers used a multiple-baseline across participants with an alternating-treatments design across conditions to evaluate general, descriptive, and general + descriptive praise statements on acquisition of tacts. Number of sessions to criterion were similar in all conditions for both participants, which suggests that contents of praise did not influence learning. This study builds on the research of praise through the preliminary use of telehealth with toddlers.

- Description:
- This study’s main focus is on students that are facing different disadvantages because of the poverty they live with and what schools and communities are doing to help. The data collected is from articles, studies, and an interview with a community partner. The data shows the effects on students along with some examples of resources from a variety of organizations for students and their families. The finding of this study is the different physical, cognitive, and emotional health problems students face because of being housing and food insecure. Along with examples of how districts, schools and communities are doing to help.

- Description:
- The intention of this paper is to discuss the occurrence of a Pandemic during 2020. How is COVID-19 a huge impact in the educational system and how is remote learning limiting the students? The United States is not the only country on the planet that has suffered tremendously because of COVID-19. Each and every day new policies are resurfacing in schools and the way students will continue their studies during this time. Additionally, this inquiry paper will also review the limitations, teachers’ accomodations and if any possible benefits that can be efficient enough to give the students great success.

- Description:
- The Cosunnes Copper Mine is a contact-metasomatic copper deposit
located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains approximately fifteen miles
southeast of Placerville, California. The deposit is located near
the western margin of a large marble and biotite schist body surrounded
by granitic rocks. A small lens of this marble occurs in diorite
along the western edge of these metamorphics. The marble lens was
totally replaced by skarn due to metasomatic reaction between the
marble and post-magmatic hydrothernal fluids under initially hypothermal
conditions. Cooling of the fluid,combined with reaction of the fluid
with the wall rocks, resulted in a series of retrograde replacement
reactions.
There were three zones of skarn formed at the Cosumnes Copper
Mine: a sericite zone formed in the diorite, a pyroxene skarn zone
formed between the altered diorite and the garnet skarn, and the garnet
skarn zone which has replaced the original marble. The skarn was
formed as a primary result of the diffusion process of skarn formation
and to a lesser degree, the infiltration process. The initial skarn
forming fluids were moderately iron rich. The hydrothernal fluids
became progressively more iron rich as they cooled through the mesothermal
range. As the fluids cooled into the epithermal range they became iron
deficient. V/hen mesothermal conditions were reached by the cooling
hydrotherr.-al solutions, extensive bomite-clalcopyrite and molybdenite
mineralization occurred as vein fillings, open space filling and replacements in the skarn zone itself. The final hydrothernal process was
emplacement of massive quartz veins with minor sulfide mineralization.

- The passage of Senate Bill 1440 was meant to strengthen the pipeline from a California Community College to a California State University. This study analyzed how AS-T in Business Administration earners and non-AS-T in Business Administration earners fare at degree completion from a California State University campus. A quantitative research methodology was used to identify the effectiveness of the AS-T in Business Administration program. The results of this study are mixed. Key findings indicate the preliminary benefits. AS-T earners, on average, finish their degree within 60 units at San Jose State University (SJSU) and earn three cumulative SJSU units fewer than their non-AS-T peers. In addition, regarding time to degree, on average, there was no statistically significant difference between Hispanic and White students, whereas historically, a gap exists between these groups. The preliminary disadvantages also include time to degree, where Asian students, on average, have a statistically significantly higher number of years to degree completion when compared to White students. These results showcase a clear discrepancy, and the need to ensure equitable outcomes at SJSU, an Asian-American Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institution and a Hispanic Serving Institution. Lastly, time to degree for students with an AS-T degree is greater than two years. Further research is needed to learn more about the outcomes of the AS-T program.

- Description:
- The research suggests that seating arrangements in the classroom shape students’ learning experiences. However, the emphasis in most classrooms seems to be placed in behavior management rather than actual learning. This study investigated how classroom seating arrangements shape middle school students’ experiences in the classroom and focused on two questions: (1) How do students perceive the ways that seating arrangements shape their learning experiences in my classroom?; (2) In what way does in-class behavior suggest that seating influences student learning? Through the use of a student survey, student focus groups, and classroom observations, I found that students believe they learn best when seating arrangements provide peer support and access to resources, and that students believe they do their best learning when they are seated in table groups or working independently. The implications of this study include that the nature of the task should dictate the student seating arrangement.
