Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Winner of the 2024 George Orwell Award for Distinguished Contribution to Honesty and Clarity in Public Language, given by the National Council of Teachers of English "Making Americans shines a light on the barriers that immigrant students in the US face-and shares some inspiring stories about students who have overcome them" -Bill Gates A landmark work that weaves captivating stories about the past, present, and personal into an inspiring vision for how America can educate immigrant students Setting out from her classroom, Jessica Lander takes the reader on a powerful and urgent journey to understand what it takes for immigrant students to become Americans. A compelling read for everyone who cares about America's future, Making Americans brims with innovative ideas for educators and policy makers across the country. Lander brings to life the history of America's efforts to educate immigrants through rich stories, including these: The Nebraska teacher arrested for teaching an eleven-year-old boy in German who took his case to the Supreme Court The California families who overturned school segregation for Mexican American children The Texas families who risked deportation to establish the right for undocumented children to attend public schools She visits innovative classrooms across the country that work with immigrant-origin students, such as these: A school in Georgia for refugee girls who have been kept from school by violence, poverty, and natural disaster Five schools in Aurora, Colorado, that came together to collaborate with community groups, businesses, a hospital, and families to support newcomer children. A North Carolina school district of more than 100 schools who rethought how they teach their immigrant-origin students She shares inspiring stories of how seven of her own immigrant students created new homes in America, including the following: The boy who escaped Baghdad and found a home in his school's ROTC program The daughter of Cambodian genocide survivors who dreamed of becoming a computer scientist The orphaned boy who escaped violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and created a new community here Making Americans is an exploration of immigrant education across the country told through key historical moments, current experiments to improve immigrant education, and profiles of immigrant students. Making Americans is a remarkable book that will reshape how we all think about nurturing one of America's greatest assets: the newcomers who enrich this country with their energy, talents, and drive.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Statistical Computation for Programmers, Scientists, Quants, Excel Users, and Other Professionals Using the open source R language, you can build powerful statistical models to answer many of your most challenging questions. R has traditionally been difficult for non-statisticians to learn, and most R books assume far too much knowledge to be of help. R for Everyone is the solution. Drawing on his unsurpassed experience teaching new users, professional data scientist Jared P. Lander has written the perfect tutorial for anyone new to statistical programming and modeling. Organized to make learning easy and intuitive, this guide focuses on the 20 percent of R functionality you?ll need to accomplish 80 percent of modern data tasks. Lander?s self-contained chapters start with the absolute basics, offering extensive hands-on practice and sample code. You?ll download and install R; navigate and use the R environment; master basic program control, data import, and manipulation; and walk through several essential tests. Then, building on this foundation, you?ll construct several complete models, both linear and nonlinear, and use some data mining techniques. By the time you?re done, you won?t just know how to write R programs, you?ll be ready to tackle the statistical problems you care about most.   COVERAGE INCLUDES ? Exploring R, RStudio, and R packages ? Using R for math: variable types, vectors, calling functions, and more ? Exploiting data structures, including data.frames, matrices, and lists ? Creating attractive, intuitive statistical graphics ? Writing user-defined functions ? Controlling program flow with if, ifelse, and complex checks ? Improving program efficiency with group manipulations ? Combining and reshaping multiple datasets ? Manipulating strings using R?s facilities and regular expressions ? Creating normal, binomial, and Poisson probability distributions ? Programming basic statistics: mean, standard deviation, and t-tests ? Building linear, generalized linear, and nonlinear models ? Assessing the quality of models and variable selection ? Preventing overfitting, using the Elastic Net and Bayesian methods ? Analyzing univariate and multivariate time series data ? Grouping data via K-means and hierarchical clustering ? Preparing reports, slideshows, and web pages with knitr ? Building reusable R packages with devtools and Rcpp ? Getting involved with the R global community.…
