Finally, the issues of money and recognition as aspects of retention: Earlier it was said that team players, are among other things, people who don't worry as much about recognition as about getting the job done, the problem solved. However, if a district wants to keep their team players, it better not forget the importance of recognition for jobs well d one. That district also better not forget that recognition in the pay envelope is a major factor of our culture.

Thus, we assume that children gifted in the arts are every bit as intellectually endowed as those with academic gifts. The relationships among giftedness, talent development, and creativity are challenging areas of research. Because researchers lack consensus about what constitutes creativity itself, progress in developing operational definitions of "creativity" has been slow (Clark & Zimmerman, 1992-page 344; Csikzentmihalyi, 1996; Hunsaker & Callahan, 1995-page 2). Although some scholars agree that creative

An organization must attract qualified candidates from a variety of backgrounds and differing work experiences." In the past, recruitment consisted of a simple method of talking to a potential employee over a cup of coffee and discussing the advertised job in an
Some of those are as follows: 1) Affect the environment; 2) Either save or expend energy; 3) Economically feasible or expensive to maintain, heat and cool. 4) Affect student learning; 5) Affect the health of students and teachers alike and 6) Affect the retention of teachers. (Olson and Carney, 2004) Criteria involved in the design, operation and maintenance of these 'sustainable' buildings are those as follows: Sustainable site planning and landscaping design that decrease the use
..that gender differences entry into science and engineering can arise both from differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of individuals and from differences in access to education." (2001) the following table labeled Figure 1 lists the total number of Ph.D.s in the Labor Force by Sex, Field, and Year of Survey as stated in the work of Long (2001) Total Number of Ph.D.s in the Labor Force, by Sex, Field, and Year
Instead of pretending that racism and its effects no longer exist, we need to strengthen affirmative action and devise a new set of policies that directly tackle the racial gap in wealth." (Derrity, 1). That, in a nutshell, is the position of this paper. America has not given affirmative action enough time to act. Moving forward, we should continue our affirmative action policies, but with an end in mind. Economists
