Los Angeles Historic Resource Survey Report: A Framework for a Citywide Historic Resource Survey is the culmination of the Getty Conservation Institute’s (GCI) Los Angeles Historic Resource... More > Survey project. In 2002 the GCI began working with the City of Los Angeles on comprehensive research into historic resource survey methods and best practices, and the myriad uses of survey data. This report provides a flexible framework for the city to design and conduct the country’s most ambitious citywide historic resource survey to date.
While the survey framework and methods presented in the GCI report were developed for Los Angeles, it will be valuable to others interested in surveys who may be undertaking comparable work.

More > access facilities can become quite costly to rent and construct, and can be a long term disturbance to those who use and manage the particular structure. Furthermore, there are situations where examination for the purpose of detailed analysis can be quite hazardous, if not entirely unsafe for humans. In a post-disaster environment traditional methods may not be safe or adequate for gaining access to parts of a structure that require observation or analysis. The use of a remotely controlled unmanned vehicle is a reliable, safe and cost effective substitute for assessing structures before and after seismic, terrorist, or other destructive events.< Less

The intent of this concurrent mixed methods study was to examine the use and impact of accountability designations and assessment data on educational organizations serving populations of varying... More > socio-economic status. Through surveys, quantitative data was collected to evaluate the impact of accountability system designations on teacher morale and the extent to which teacher perceptions of accountability measures vary by district socio-economic status. Simultaneously, factors in effective use of accountability and assessment data in district planning were explored. Additionally, a multiple case study explored the use of data collected via traditional and value-added assessment models. The reason for combining both quantitative and qualitative data was to better understand this research problem by converging both quantitative survey (generalizable conclusions) and qualitative (deeper analysis) data.< Less
When you need to be able to make a choice between a good and the best candidate, a resume just does not provide enough information. Considering that your company will make an investment in them and... More > that a part of your company's future performance and success will depend on it, a hiring decision should not depend on a resume alone.
When you get down to it, if a resume was sufficient, then all of your employees would be top talent – but they're not. You can get out of this rut by adding another powerful tool – a Skills Survey – which will give you more quality information. This proven skills assessment test will help remove much of the guesswork that often goes into the candidate selection process, and any bias, too.
Patrick Ropella is an executive recruiter who is repeatedly called upon to deliver top talent to many international companies. He created the Skills Survey to help him sort out the candidates to deliver the best – now he shows you this tool and how to customize it for your own use.< Less
