Our paper details the ways teachers understand and navigate equity-oriented dilemmas (Berlak & Berlak, 1981) when teaching mathematical modeling and how mathematics teacher educators can support teachers' learning of culturally responsive mathematics teaching. Using Zavala and Aguirre's (in press) framework for culturally responsive…

Participants were 1319 adolescents aged…

Four measures of influence in intercorporate networks are tested, using data from a sample of large American corporations in 1904. Comparison with historical accounts of the period indicate that modifications of the Bonacich index of a point's centrality in a network yield the most reliable results. (Author/RW)

In long established research organizations, it is necessary to safeguard good research ideas originating at lower organizational levels. The upward progress of unusually good ideas in an organizational hierarchy may be compared with that of ordinary ideas by means of a mathematical model, with the assumption that ideas follow a Poisson…

This document (1) describes current PPBS techniques and their limitations for planning and budgeting in public higher education; (2) presents suggestions for PPBS applications in higher education systems, with emphases on the problems of identifying objectives, evaluating effectiveness, and structuring the program budget; and (3) analyzes the…
