The preliminary analysis of the available models appropriate for the school's purposes indicated that the Frigidaire FRA126CT1 Window Air Conditioner was most suitable despite the extra cost because of its quiet operation feature as well as its superior antibacterial mesh filter which was considered important in the confined spaces of the modular classrooms.

Statement of Work. Based on the foregoing, a corresponding statement of work was developed as set forth in Table 3 below.

Statement of Work for Window Unit Air Conditioners

Provision

Description

Purpose

The purpose of this contract is to install five Frigidaire FRA126CT1 Window Air Conditioner units in a local high school's five modular housing classrooms.

Scope of Work

The scope of the contract extends to delivery, installation, and testing of the installed units to ensure appropriate operation as well as any ongoing maintenance that is required on the units...

...

The school district's purchasing department would be required to develop the costing analysis described above, and a school district engineer representative would be needed to oversee installation and ensure satisfactory operation of the installed Frigidaire FRA126CT1 Window Air Conditioner units. The remaining installation work would be performed by the vendor.
Facilities Equipment. None required.

4.

COST

Fiscal. The total purchase price for the five selected Frigidaire FRA126CT1 Window Air Conditioner units would be approximately $1,637.19 ($1,625 purchase price plus $12.19 state/local taxes at 7.25%).

Time. The preliminary analysis to develop relevant specifications and air conditioner units that would satisfy the school district's requirements will require approximately one-half day; the oversight of the installation by the vendor should likewise require about one-half day.

5.

CONCLUSION

Summary. While the scientists continue to debate whether global warming is a reality, many young people continue to attend school during the summer months when temperatures can climb well past 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The need for air conditioned classrooms for these young learners is clear and this proposal describes a step-by-step approach for addressing this need.

Finalization. The finalization of the project would involve setting each of the air conditioners' controls to the appropriate temperature using the timer feature to shut off the units after scheduled classes and to turn them back on 30 minutes prior to their starting time.

Classroom Discipline Cook-Sather, a. (2009). "I'm not afraid to listen: Prospective teachers learning from students." Theory Into Practice, 48(3), 176-183. Cook-Sather's article describes a teacher education program she conducts at Bryn Mawr College and the results of a survey of teachers who went through the program. The program is called the Teaching and Learning Together (TLT). Through TLT, secondary education students at the college have substantial interaction with high school students from area

Albeit there is not direct link between improvement in students' behavior and academic performance and the use of uniforms, there had been many anecdotes to support this claim. Having students wear uniforms conjures perceptions of order, safety and security as uniforms are viewed as "concrete and visible means of restoring order to the classroom" (Anderson 3). Uniforms may also lessen incidences of violence and crime against students, as many acts

Classrooms That Work The paragraphs below respond to the text and look at alternative ways to demonstrate reading comprehension to students. These paragraphs will offer new ways to look at ways to enhance students' reading experience. Reading comprehension is an important part of developmental learning for young students. It helps build confidence and an eagerness to acquire knowledge. Reading is important because it expands the mind and promotes creativity. Promotion of comprehension

Recent reviews of research on summer school show that high quality programs can make a difference in student learning (Harrington-Lueker, 2000). Results of the research point to programs that focus on corrective or accelerated learning have a positive consequence on student learning. There is significant evidence that summer school can help bring many struggling students up to grade level and prevents loss of learning with many others (Denton, 2001;

Another common use is in the generation of written work. Students can learn to revise and edit using a computer word processing program. Again, this supports the use of computers to learn keyboarding just as we teach manuscript and cursive writing: the keyboard is merely a third way to record information and generate data. Students can also learn to use spreadsheets and databases (Fouts, 2000), which can give them the
