Safemap is an acronym for the Santa Ana/Fullerton Elementary Mathematics Project, a partnership between the Santa Ana Unified School District and California State University at Fullerton and is cofunded with the National Science Foundation. Teachers of grades K–5 meet on weekends once a month to study mathematics content, complete homework assignments, and prepare to implement lessons in their classrooms, all of which are shared and discussed at the next monthly meeting. Regularly scheduled monthly meetings allow for networking and bonding among teachers that have not previously been evident in summer institute. Every participant in SAFEMAP is also trained in Family Math courses and conducts six Family Math sessions for students and their parents.

Communication Pedagogy

Since the early 1980s, Illinois State University’s English Department has educated numerous technical communication practitioners as well as dozens of teachers of technical communication throughout the United States. Today, the program’s faculty members are nationally recognized for their contributions to scholarship and education and its Ph.D. and M.A. students are sought after to teach in the technical communication programs of other universities. A critical component of this success was the development of the graduate course, Teaching Technical Writing in 1990. This essay situates the development of that course in the history not only of the technical communication program at Illinois State University but in the history of the technical communication field, particularly since 1950. Although the essay focuses on one course in one midsized, Midwestern U.S. University, it is, I believe, exemplary of the development and current status of technical communication pedagogy throughout the U.S.

Abstract The objective of this study was to determine the effect of wet brewer’s grain (WBG) inclusion on the growth and carcass performance of finishing cattle. Forty-eight (n = 48; 30 steers [414 kg] and 18 heifers [373 kg]) Simmental-Angus beef calves were finished at the Illinois State University Farm. Calves were blocked by weight within sex, randomly assigned to one of two dietary treatments, and fed for 119 or 154 days in a 2 x 2 x 2 factorial arrangement. Dietary treatments included a corn silage-whole shelled corn finishing diet (CON) and CON + 30% WBG for the first half of the finishing period (WB). Diets were mixed daily and feed was offered once daily. Daily feed offered was adjusted based on biweekly bunk scores and feed refusal data collected every 7 d. Two-day weights were taken every 28 days, averaged, and used to calculate Average Daily Gain (ADG), Average Daily Feed Intake (ADFD), and Gain to Feed (G:F). Cattle were visually appraised for degree of finish by an industry procurement agent, and transported 159km in two groups (119 and 154 days on feed (DOF); average final body weight of 620kg) for processing under USDA-FSIS inspection. Following slaughter, standard USDA carcass data (quality and yield grade) were collected. Statistical analysis was performed utilizing the MIXED procedure of SAS. Feeding WBG improved final live weight (P = 0.008), ADG (P = 0.039), and G:F (P = 0.005) regardless of days on feed. Following WBG inclusion, hot carcass weight increased at 154 DOF (P = 0.0071). Dressing percentage, ribeye area, 12th Rib Fat thickness, marbling score, and yield grade were not significantly impacted by treatment (P > 0.05). In this study, early inclusion of WBG supported growth and carcass performance; however, additional research examining performance differences based on DOF is warranted.

On the enduring popularity of Cream's ‘Sunshine of Your Love’: sonic synecdoche of the ‘psychedelic 60s’

Few popular songs released over the past thirty years start so memorably: that bass riff, ominous, music for Jaws before there was Jaws, so insistent and unforgiving that in GoodFellas (1990), Scorsese has de Niro do nothing but smoke a ‘square’ and look – icily – off screen while the riff sounds its ten-note pattern. And you know what the combination of de Niro's look, those sounds and that smoke mean: somebody is going to get ‘whacked’. Cream's 1968 hit, ‘Sunshine of Your Love’, has been part of the shared culture of the world in which it has sounded for thirty years. In both Europe and America, ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ (SYL) continues to receive airplay today. At high school and college sporting events across the US, pep bands continue to play it (Dan Farris, Assistant Director of Bands, Illinois State University, personal communication, 5 March 1997). A band played it, too, in a 5 April 1997 episode of the NBC television network series, Profiler.

During my undergraduate days at Illinois State University I dreamed that I would some day be a language arts teacher in an elementary school. I pictured myself as having somewhat of a flair for the dramatic and I could expres myself in a variety of ways. Besides that, I was lousy in mathematics and hated science and social studies.

Easy facts first, then harder ones! This is the natural route to take in the mastery of basic addition facts, and addition doubles are certainly among those “easy” facts. Using objects to help children “picture” each double makes learning the doubles even easier and a lot of fun. That at least has been the experience of children enrolled in the Illinois State University Mathematics Learning Clinic for area children with learning difficulties in mathematics.

This study was done to determine the changes in belief of pre-service elementary teachers towards mathematics in mathematics education course and to address the effect of this change on gender and academic success variables. The study was designed according to the panel study model of longitudinal research method. 92 pre-services who are educating in primary school teaching department of a state university in 2013-2014 academic years formed the sample of research. As data collection tool “Mathematics Belief Scale” that was developed by Steiner (2007) and its reliability, validity and language equivalency in Turkish form that was done by Masal and Takunyacı (2012), was used. In analyzing of data paired samples t-test and for repeated measures two way ANOVA techniques were used. At the end of research, positive change was observed in beliefs of pre-service teachers towards mathematics within the process; also it was found that gender and academic success variables have no effect on beliefs of pre-services towards mathematics. Keywords: Pre-service elementary school, belief , mathematics belief scale, mathematics education
