Year Three of the Shifting Gears Initiative: An Interview with Whitney Smith from the Joyce Foundation
نویسنده
چکیده
by Jason L. Taylor Editor’s Note: This edition features current research, practice, and policy related to the Joyce Foundation’s Shifting Gears initiative beginning with an interview with Whitney Smith, Manager of the Employment Program at the Joyce Foundation. Julie Strawn, Center for Law and Social Policy, presents a national perspective of basic skills reform efforts similar to Shifting Gears and offers strategies for states to improve the delivery of basic skills services. Finally, OCCRL staff contribute articles based on evaluation results from Shifting Gears Phase One, priorities for Shifting Gears Phase Two, and the role of the Workforce Investment Act in the implementation of bridge programs. We hope that readers enjoy this edition of UPDATE and find the articles useful to advance the successful transition of low-skilled adults to college and careers.

Strengthening State Systems for Adult Learners:
The Joyce Foundation's Shifting Gears initiative was launched in 2007 as a state policy change effort in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. The goal is to strengthen state postsecondary, adult basic education, and skills-development systems so that more low-skilled workers gain the education, skills and credentials needed to advance and succeed in our changing economy....
متن کاملOn the modernist elements of ‘Ithaca’ chapter in Joyce’s Ulys ses : Engaging students in class discussion
James Joyce's Ulysses is one of the hall-marks of modernism in the realm of the novel.

Freud's theories on the unique and private quality of man's mode of consciousness and the meddling of the past with ...
متن کاملVibration Analysis of an Air Compressor Based on a Hypocycloidal Mechanism: an Experimental Study
In this paper, the experimental vibration analysis of a single cylinder air compressor based on a hypocycloid straight line mechanism (HSM) is investigated. The HSM mechanism uses planetary gears to convert rotational motion to purely linear motion. In the conventional air compressor, the slider- crank mechanism is replaced by the HSM mechanism with appropriate counterweights. The constructed s...
متن کاملAN INTELLIGENT FAULT DIAGNOSIS APPROACH FOR GEARS AND BEARINGS BASED ON WAVELET TRANSFORM AS A PREPROCESSOR AND ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORKS
In this paper, a fault diagnosis system based on discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and artificial neural networks (ANNs) is designed to diagnose different types of fault in gears and bearings. DWT is an advanced signal-processing technique for fault detection and identification. Five features of wavelet transform RMS, crest factor, kurtosis, standard deviation and skewness of discrete wavelet co...
متن کاملEffect of Coating Materials on Wear in Internal Gears
Theoretical and experimental investigation of wear during coupling in internal gears coated with various polymeric coating materials was performed in this study. In the theoretical part of the study, Archards’ wear formulation was adapted to internal gears and wear behavior in various conditions was determined. Moreover, a fatigue and wear testing apparatus having similar working principle with...
