Based on test scores, Alabama’s Department of Education decided that there needed to be a change in the way students in Alabama learned math and science. Scores put students from Alabama at a disadvantage against students across the nation. Following extensive research, a committee created The Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI) to help Alabama be competitive in the fields of science and math. The idea behind AMSTI is students learn material best by hands-on exploration. Instead of traditional textbook and lecture instruction, students need to be conducting investigations and discovering knowledge for themselves. AMSTI allows students to gain a conceptual understanding versus just a procedural understanding of mathematical and science theories. Through …show more content…
Once a school is selected to be an AMSTI school, all of the math, science, technology, and special education teachers along with administration must complete AMSTI training. Faculty must attended AMSTI training for two weeks during the summer at an AMSTI institute for two consecutive summers. Once completed, the attendees will have 120 hours of training in AMSTI. At the institute, teachers will learn about the science and math kits, how to instruct students on the scientific inquiry process, and get to participate in all of the hands-on activities. When training is complete, schools will receive the AMSTI kits with all of the needed equipment and materials to conduct the investigations and activities learned during training. AMSTI sites have refurbishments for all of the kits; therefore, if a kit runs out of a material, teachers simply contact the AMSTI specialist to receive more materials. Also, the kits are refurbished before going to a different teacher. AMSTI is a no-cost program, so schools and districts are not finically responsible for the training, implementation, or

User authentication in Ubuntu 15.04 systems in an AD environment All HACKD, LLC systems are supposed to be connected to the Microsoft Active Directory domain. However, after implementing Ubuntu 15.04 in the systems that were running on Windows XP, there is a need to ensure interoperability by allowing Ubuntu users to join the AD domain using their credentials. In such instances, the Samba software suite is used to provide AD connectivity and provide stable, secure and fast file sharing and print services to all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol. In this case, Samba is a critical component for integrating Linux clients in a Windows environment (Samba.org, 2015).

APUSH Unit 2 Long Essay In 1603, the English were still a small rising nation, poorer than most, and less powerful than Spain and France. Although the British colonies settled in the Americas late, they quickly became a dominant force in the new world. After they acquired their first permanent settlement in Jamestown, VA in 1607, the British became attracted to greater power and more land, which was the first building block of perhaps the most powerful European nation of the time period. Due to their growth in the Americas, the British were able to be compared to the Spanish colonies of the time period, which boosted the English’s confidence.
Seeking religious freedom, more land and more raw materials, the Pilgrims from England set on a voyage to a new world. Arriving to a land already inhabited by Native Americans, the pilgrims were unwelcomed. Overcoming the differences and finding peace between each group, the Natives helped the Englanders prosper.

There were many groups living in the United States between 1860 and 1900 and most of the groups we can categorize people into had very different viewpoints. The main groups that most can be categorized into are the wealthy, the common people, the Indians and the Chinese. Starting with the wealthy they looked at the west as a big fat paycheck, the wealth folks went out west and bought up lots of land and production and monopolized, while the common people competed with these big companies for free and cheap land because they were the poor back east and came out west with hopes of finding gold while mining or getting rich off abundant crop land or maybe it was some common women who came out west because they were allowed to purchase land out west.

SOC 100 - Midterm Essay In the U.S., we were taught to categorize people into different “racial groups” such as White, Black, Asian, and so on, based on physical features, including skin color, hair texture, shapes of lips, and more.
