Download or read book ESS Guidelines on Revision Policy for PEEIs written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definition of a revision policy at ESS level is an essential step towards further harmonisation of infra-annual statistics, especially Principal European Economic Indicators (PEEIs). It follows the vision of an integrated European statistical system where the releases and the revisions of European statistics are coordinated and synchronised as far as possible, and transparency for the user is maximised via clear communication of revision policies and practices.^Harmonization of revision policies according to the ESS guidelines on revision policy follows the standards defined in the European Statistics Code of Practice, principle 6 "Impartiality and objectivity" (indicator 6.6: Advance notice is given on major revisions or changes in methodologies.), Principle 8 "Appropriate Statistical Procedures" (indicator 8.6: Revisions follow standard, well-established and transparent procedures) and Principle 12 "Accuracy and Reliability" (indicator 12.3: Revisions are regularly analysed in order to improve statistical processes.). In this context the implementation of the ESS guidelines on revision policy will contribute to improvements in the quality of European statistics and as such is in line with the conclusions of the ECOFIN Council related to further development of statistics for the Economic and Monetary Union. The purpose of the guidelines is to encourage the ESS to move, where necessary, from not recommended practices to better ones.^They present theoretical and practical aspects of revision policies in relation to routine, major and nonscheduled revisions. The ESS guidelines on revision policy also foster the transparency of revision practices encouraging the documentation of general and domain specific revision policies. Finally they have a pedagogical content as they allow for expertise development and capacity building. The preparation of the guidelines has been preceded by a set of more general principles for a common revision policy endorsed by Eurostat in 2009 (annexed) and by the guidelines on the communication of major statistical revisions in the European Union adopted by the SPC in May 2007 (CPS 2007/62/8/EN) and endorsed by the ECOFIN Council in November 2007. The ESS guidelines on revision policy, which have been finalised in 2011, have been endorsed by the ESSC in February 2012.
Download or read book ESS Handbook Seasonal Adjustment written by and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 47 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The establishment of common guidelines for seasonal adjustment (SA) within the European Statistical System (ESS) is an essential step towards a better harmonisation and comparability of infra-annual statistics, especially Principal European Economic Indicators (PEEIs). The ESS Guidelines on Seasonal Adjustment address the need for harmonisation expressed on several occasions by many users such as the European Central Bank (ECB), European Commission services, and the ECOFIN Council. The definition of best practices in the field of seasonal adjustment has been long debated at European level. Since 2007, the Seasonal Adjustment Steering Group co-chaired by Eurostat and the ECB gave a new and crucial input to the compilation of the first edition of the guidelines, published in 2009. The first edition has been widely accepted and implemented.^However, taking into account the experience accumulated since 2009 and the need to further clarify some specific aspects, in 2012 the Seasonal Adjustment Steering Group decided to launch a revision of the guidelines. The ESS Guidelines on Seasonal Adjustment are the outcome of the revision work and the ESS Committee (ESSC) endorsed them in November 2014. The revised ESS Guidelines on Seasonal Adjustment present both theoretical aspects and practical implementation issues in a friendly and easy to read framework, thereby addressing both experts and nonexperts in seasonal adjustment. They meet the requirement of principle 7 (Sound Methodology) of the European Statistics Code of Practice and their implementation will also be in line with principles 14 (Coherence and Comparability) and 15 (Accessibility and Clarity).^The guidelines also foster the transparency of seasonal adjustment practices by encouraging the documentation of all seasonal adjustment steps and the dissemination of seasonal adjustment practices by means of the metadata template for seasonal adjustment. Finally they allow for development of expertise and capacity building. The revised version of the guidelines includes a new section with a policy for seasonal adjustment, making the revised version of the guidelines consistent with the guidelines on revisions policies. It also better describes the different steps in seasonal adjustment. Finally the specification of alternatives has been reviewed, making them more operational. This major achievement has been possible thanks to the commitment of a wide range of well-known experts on seasonal adjustment.

Download or read book Cooperative Learning and the Collaborative School written by Ronald S. Brandt and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cooperation in the classroom counteracts well-established routines and values that nearly all adults and many educators take for granted. Education remains a fiercely competitive enterprise, and individualistic notions of professionalism predominate. Despite the continued importance of independence, initiative, and personal achievement, today's schools are experimenting with consideration, sharing, collegiality, and commitment to group goals. This volume contains readings from recent editions of "Educational Leadership" on cooperative learning and collaborative schools, beginning with Robert Slavin's introduction and Ronald Brandt's insistence that cooperation is not un-American. The articles in the second section discuss various cooperative learning models, including Team Assisted Individuation, Cooperative integrated Reading and Composition, and Group Investigation. The third section is devoted to implementation of cooperative learning, and the fourth section highlights the idea of schools as caring communities developed through group work. The sixth section provides ideas on how to get started, and the seventh section summarizes controversies among various researchers. The final section presents articles on the collaborative school, focusing on developing teacher collegiality, cooperative professional development, and school improvement efforts. The volume ends with an extensive annotated bibliography divided into nine parts. (MLH)

Download or read book Social Exclusion written by Giuliana Parodi and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-09-24 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book provides a panoramic approach to social exclusion, with emphasis on structural causes (education, health, accidents) and on short term causes connected with the crisis which started in 2008. The picture emerging, based on econometric analysis, is that the crisis has widened the risk of social exclusion, from the structural groups, like disabled people and formerly convicted people, to other groups, like the young, unemployed, low skilled workers and immigrants, in terms of income, poverty, health, unemployment, transition between occupational statuses, participation, leading to a widening of socio-economic duality. It has also been stressed the relevance of definitions of socio-economic outcomes for the evaluation of the crisis, and their consequences to define interventions to fight socio-economic effects of the economic downturn. The adequacy of welfare policies to cope with social exclusion, especially during a crisis, has been called into question.
