David Leat was appointed in 1989 as Geography PGCE tutor and continued in this role until 1999. Between 2001 and 2004 he was on leave of absense, working for the DfES in the KS3 Strategy as a Regional Director, putting research into practice. Since his return to the university he has been the Director for the Research Centre for Learning and Teaching CfLaT.
My original research interest in thinking skills has developed over the last 20 years, through projects on metacognition, Learning2Learn and innovative assessment to focus on Enquiry Based Learning/Curriculum (EBL/EBC), which is the curriculum format which best embodies innovative pedagogies. EBC encourages students to ask and pursue questions which are meaningful to them and arise through experience, thinking, talk and study. This a divergent approach to curriculum which stands in contrast to the dominant convergent model of pre-specified learning outcomes. EBC holds much promise for a transformative approach to education, which is more democratic, draws upon community resources and ignites intrinsic motivation.
However research does show that there is a dominant curriculum discourse, epitomised by targets, objectives and teaching to the test, which is so powerful because of Oftsed inspections and the threats they carry. Therefore it is very hard for schools to make radical changes to teaching and curriculum because of the risk implied. Furthermore it is notoriously difficult to change teachers' practice, so even where committed pioneers make some progress, it is altogether more challenging to sustain whole school curriculum change. We have learned these lessons over time and as a consequence CfLaT gives equal attention to professional learning and organisational/cultural change. Therefore working with school leaders, developing professional learning communities and 'working space', and setting up peer coaching or lesson study are important processes in curriculum reform.
CfLaT is now co-ordinating a local network of schools and teachers who want to make EBC a mainstay of their curriculum and we are developing a number of funded and unfunded projects which will support this ambition. This network is increasingly connected to national networks and organisations.
The impact of thinking skills interventions on teaching and learning
The use of teaching thinking strategies or 'powerful pedagogical strategies' is an important approach to school improvement. It allows teachers to take ownership of the nature, pace and direction of their efforts to develop their teaching. Their power comes from allowing teachers to make manageable but significant changes to their teaching, which usually brings an immediate response from students. This 'visible' response from pupils invites and encourages teachers to sustain and development changes in their teaching. However we need to know more about the factors which accelerate and support this process, such as the teacher's ability to plan well, the students' response and the school's ability to support risk and learning.
David Leat wrote the materials, based on research, which are now in every secondary school in England to train teacher coaches. There is very little research on coaching in the British context. Although the great majority of teachers are very positive about their coaching experiences, we know very little about the impact that coaching is having on professional learning, relationships, management systems and school improvement processes. The research is exploring these issues.
Learning To Learn
Learning2Learn is a popular phrase. It covers a multitude of teaching innovations designed to make students more motivated, independent, flexible, knowledgeable learners who will be able to learn and work well (and have fun) throughout their lives. It is important to understnad the ways in which teacher learning and student learning are related within this context, so that guidance to schools and other institutions can be offered.
Having worked in applied research in universities and then in applying research while working for DfES, I have considerable insights into the how research can make an impact on teachers, practice and schools. This is reflected in the forthcoming publication 'Thinking Through School'.
Research and development projects include:
1. Formative evaluation of Open Future, a primary curriculum innovation with 4 strands 'Grow It', 'Cook It', 'Film It' and 'Ask It' (Philosophy for Children) for the Helen Hamlyn Trust. Part of the formative work is in developing a progression framework for a skills based curriculum.
2. Evaluation of the ACTS Project (Activating Children's Thinking Skills) in East Ayrshire, funded by the Scottish Executive.
3. A research project on coaching for CfBT and the National College of School Leadership, investigating what happens in coaching sessions and testing whether an intervention makes an impact on both coaching practice and classroom practice.
4. Working as part of the CfLaT team on the Campaign for Learning Learning To Learn project involving some 25 schools in 3 Local Education Authorities.
5. A number of small funded projects supporting schools undertaking action research as part of school improvement.

Legislation would ban insurance for abortions
BATON ROUGE — A bill that would bar health insurance coverage for elective abortions in Louisiana is headed to the full House for debate after getting overwhelming support Wednesday from the House Insurance Committee.
Rep. Frank Hoffmann, R-West Monroe, said he introduced the bill to prohibit elective abortions in the state purchasing pools set up by the federal health overhaul legislation, a prohibition allowed under the federal bill.
However, Hoffmann's proposal goes further, also banning elective abortion coverage by private insurers.
Opponents said the measure was improper meddling in private business and personal health care decisions, saying women could lose benefits they already have.
"This bill denies women the ability to obtain health coverage for abortion even with their own private funds," said Julie Mickelberry of Planned Parenthood of Louisiana and the Mississippi Delta. She added, "This bill seeks to only put more obstacles on women seeking abortion care."
Rep. Chuck Kleckley, R-Lake Charles, committee chairman, said he doesn't know of any private insurance plan in Louisiana that covers abortion, except when a mother's life is in danger. That exception remains in the bill.
"The overwhelming majority of elective abortions are not paid by insurance. They're paid by cash. The lack of insurance coverage for elective abortions has not been a prohibition to people being able to get the procedure," said state Health and Hospitals Secretary Alan Levine, who supported the bill on behalf of Gov. Bobby Jindal.
Rape and incest victims would also be excluded from using health coverage for abortion.
Hoffmann's proposal would require any doctor who bills an insurer for an abortion that is necessary to save the mother's life to certify that in writing and keep it on file for at least seven years.
Mickelberry said that provision could scare some doctors from performing abortions, even in life-threatening situations, because of concerns those decisions could be challenged.
State-run insurance purchasing pools, called exchanges, required by the federal health overhaul legislation, would allow people to have the same kind of buying power that employees of big companies have -- and are allowed to prohibit elective abortion coverage under the federal bill.
The committee voted 8-1 for the bill. The lone opponent was Rep. Juan LaFonta, D-New Orleans.
Louisiana has enacted a series of restrictions on abortions over the years, many of which have been overturned in courts. Lawmakers also placed language in the statute that explains the state only allows abortion procedures because the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled they are legal. Hoffmann's bill reenforces that stance.
"If those decisions of the United States Supreme Court are ever reversed or modified or the United States Constitution is amended to allow protection of the unborn, then the former policy of this state to prohibit abortions shall be enforced," Hoffman's bill says.

Come on, at the start of the Olympic tournament, who could have imagined that the Latvians would hang around longer than the mighty Russians? Who would have guessed that Ted Nolan would have a greater impact on this event that Alex Ovechkin or Evgeni Malkin?
But as Nolan said after the qualifications, you never know in hockey.
Star-laden Russia, expected to express the renewed might of a nation, went away with barely a whimper, losing to Finland in the quarterfinals, 3-1. They simply never resembled a real team here.
Latvia, meanwhile, was everything a team is supposed to be. Nolan's guys believed in themselves, got a great performance from another goalie, and scared the daylights out of Canada – yes, Nolan's native Canada – before losing, 2-1, on a Shea Weber goal with 6:54 to play.
That's the wonderful thing about hockey. Hot goalies make all things possible. A team can get outshot, 57-16, and nearly win. If Latvia had pulled it off, people would be comparing it to the Americans' fabled miracle against the Soviet Union in 1980.
Instead, we get the U.S. versus Canada in a semifinal Friday. With apologies to Latvia, this is the game most hockey fans wanted, a rematch of the gold-medal game from four years ago, when Sidney Crosby beat Ryan Miller in overtime to win it for Canada.
And on a day of zaniness, the Americans were steady and predictable as junk mail. They just kept coming. The Czechs, who had almost as much star power as the Russians, were no match for a speedy, opportunistic U.S. team that eased into the semifinals with a 5-2 win.
This is not an entirely objective view. I've seen all four U.S. games. But they're the best team in the tournament, with the emphasis on "team." Halfway through the opener, I thought they were as talented a U.S. Olympic team as I'd seen. Now they're the favorite.
It's not easy to pull a team together in a week and develop the kind of chemistry that takes months for normal sports teams. But somehow, the U.S. squad has forged a tight, competitive identity in a very short time.
"From the start, I think everyone bought into the team system and how we wanted to play," said James van Riemsdyk, who scored just 1:39 into the game. "When you have that, it makes it easier to be consistent with how you're going to play."
The U.S. has developed an attack personality. It takes an opposing goal as a personal affront. Ales Hemsky tied the game for the Czechs soon after van Riemsdyk's goal. The U.S. responded with goals by Dustin Brown and David Backes before the end of the first. It did the same thing in the opener against Slovakia, scoring six goals in about 10 minutes after the Slovaks tied it. They jumped on the Slovenians early in the third game.
I don't know who has done more for his reputation here – the Sabres' Nolan or the Pens' Dan Bylsma, who coaches the Americans. Bylsma has won over a lot of hockey-watchers with his thoughtful, concise interviews and his deft management of his hockey team.
Heading into the quarters, Bylsma made it clear that his team wasn't being assertive enough. They weren't using their speed to sufficient advantage, forcing the action and creating pressure on opposing defenses through the neutral zone.
The U.S. got the message. It attacked from the start against the Czechs, jetting through the middle of the larger ice and getting their defensemen to initiate the attack with quick passes.
"We wanted to play a quicker game," Bylsma said, "a faster game. We thought we could be more aggressive and ready to skate. We knew this team had played a hard-fought game last night. We wanted to come out and play with speed, play with jump.
"I thought that was our best game in that regard – the way our players jumped and skated, the way we executed with the puck."
They're rolling four lines and getting production from everywhere. Twelve different players have scored goals for the USA; 17 have recorded at least one point.
"It starts off the ice," Max Pacioretty said. "Everyone on this team realizes you have to play for the team and check your ego at the door. All of us are the top players on our team back home, and you come here and you're asked to play different roles.
"You see everyone in the room willing to go to the dirty areas, block shots, make hits. It's nice to see when you see a guy like Patty Kane backchecking as hard as he can across the ice. It kind of puts things in perspective."
Four years ago, they were an underdog. They rode a red-hot goalie, Ryan Miller, to the gold-medal game. So far in this Olympics, they're taking goalie Jonathan Quick for a ride.
Things promise to get tougher now. The Canadians have struggled to find their rhythm. There's a lot of pressure on Canada – the best hockey nation on the planet, the defending Olympic champion.
You can't overestimate how much that loss in Vancouver stuck with the USA players over those four years. The guys who were on that team – like Miller, Brooks Orpik, Kane – all talk about how much they wanted to come back and make it right, to turn silver into gold.
Their coach knows it, too. Bylsma didn't need to spend four years around his players to understand how much it would mean to them to win gold – and to go through the Canadians to get it.
"You don't want to get ahead of yourself," Bylsma said. "We knew we were going to have some big games prior to this point. But we were looking forward to the possibility of this rematch. I know our guys are ready for it and looking forward to it – and wanted it."
So here we are. After all the craziness, we're back to Canada and the United States in Olympic hockey. It's only a semifinal. Let's not forget about Finland and Sweden, who will be formidable opposition for whoever wins the battle of North America.
It won't be for the gold medal this time. But when people gather in front of the TV sets Friday, something tells me it'll feel like it.

From The Telegraph
Officials in Sudan say they have captured an electronically-tagged vulture suspected of being dispatched by Israel on a spying mission.
The avian discovery was made in Kereinek, a town in the Darfur region of western Sudan, Sudanese officials are said to have concluded that the bird was a secret agent after discovering it was fitted with GPS and solar-powered equipment . . . The vulture also had a tag attached to its leg with "Israel Nature Service" and "Hebrew University, Jerusalem", leading to accusations that it was on an Israeli surveillance mission.
Israeli officials have acknowledged that the bird, which can fly up to 375 miles a day, had been tagged with Israeli equipment but insisted it was being used to study migration patterns.
Ohad Hazofe, an ecologist with the Israel Nature and Parks Authority, told the website, Ynet, that it was one of 100 vultures fitted in October with a GPS system equipped to take distance and altitude readings but not surveillance images. "That's the only way we knew something had happened to the bird – all of a sudden it stopped flying and started travelling on the ground," he said.
I have a news letter from Magen David Adom UK (Israels emergency medical service) who have been asked to help the new country of South Sudan (the Christian bit which separated from the persecution of the Muslim north earlier this year after years of civil war) with medical aid. I wish both the South Sudanese and the Israelis all the best.

After the messy Shosanna Dreyfus affair, I asked myself if a Jewess could pass herself off as a French lieutenant's (so sorry -my mistake - Frederick Zoller's rank was that of a Oberschutze) woman, why could I, after emigrating to the US, not pass myself off as a Jew? The task of finding a decent plastic surgeon of Aryan descent for some work on my forehead and foreskin was difficult, but not insurmountable and given my command of several languages, I soon prospered as a "Jewish" comedian performing before audiences heavy with displaced persons of the diaspora. Alas, my career recently took a turn for the wurst (many kosher kicks to the kishkas) when, while tipsy mit schnapps in the Catskills, I blurted out that the only thing worse than the business associates of Mitt Romney were the "Jewish Cain Capital vulture capitalists."

Operations Chief Mike Heston will take over for Pullman Fire Chief Scott LaVielle, who announced his retirement last Friday. If the council approves his appointment Tuesday night, he will officially become chief on February first.
"I feel very excited and humbled to take the lead of the Pullman Fire Department and I appreciate the support and the confidence of the city mayor and the city council," said Heston.
Heston worked for the Washington State University Fire Department before becoming the Chief Operations Officer at Pullman Fire Department in 1996. He said that he respects the work that LaVielle did during his year as fire chief, and he hopes to carry on the family-like atmosphere that LaVielle established in the department.

I love this stove. Everything has worked perfectly so far. I wasn't sure I was going to like the electronic controls, since I wasn't used to them, but now that I've been using the stove for several months, I find them very easy to use. For the most part, I use the small oven, but I have had occasions to use the large oven and both work beautifully. I love knowing that I can bake different foods at the same time at different temperatures. Giving up having a bottom drawer is a very small sacrifice to make. I've found the cook-top very easy to clean. It's just a beautiful stove in every way.

Been cooking with gas for 30+ years and loved the idea of a double oven for family dinners. It is a very nice looking oven. Didn't take into consideration when reviewing it at the store, that the bottom, large oven is very low to the ground and it is difficult to lift heavy items out of there. Also,burners are too close together on the cook top and you can't fit more than a couple of pots at once unless all pots are small. The burner grates slant down towards the sides of the stove, and if there is no counter top on both sides of the stove, it would be easy for something to slide completely off if bumped or if a pot handle was pulled by a child. However, the biggest problem for us was that within a few weeks of purchase, the smaller top oven would not work at all. After 2 visits, the service technician found that a major part needed replaced. That problem was resolved. But the problems did not stop. Then, both ovens would act up occasionally with temperature regulating issues. After preheating, the baking temperature would drop quite low and the oven would take a very long time to re-ignite/recycle. Food was taking twice, sometimes 3x as long to cook. To remedy this, when I could tell that the food was not cooking or that the temperature didn't seem "right" I would turn the oven off and immediately back on to start the pre-heat cycle again. When the oven was turned off and immediately turned back on to get it to heat again, the initial temperature(in preheat cycle)would sometimes read 80 - 100 degrees lower than what the bake temp was set.When this dysfunction would happen,it was necessary to repeat the turn-off, turn-on process every 15-20 minutes, and raise the cook temp a few degrees so that the temperature would not fall too low and the food would cook in a more reasonable amount of time. Had service tech here 3x and he cannot find the problem.Oven seems to cycle and maintain adequate temperature when technician is here, but will intermittently act up

The Best
By Lucy
from Spartanburg
I spent a lot of time researching ovens, after having bought a different brand for our kitchen remodel, which turned out to be a terrible purchase. I had high expectations for this whirlpool oven, because I knew exactly what I wanted and needed, and was determined not to settle for less. Boy, am I glad I went with this range. I cannot say enough good things about it. First, the ovens preheat quickly, without heating up my kitchen. Both ovens hold heat consistently and bake evenly too, which is so important with as much baking as I do. There's not a middle burner on the stove top but we don't miss it - we didn't really use it on our other stove. It also looks really nice, which is just an added bonus. Like I said, I could not be more pleased with this oven. I've been baking round the clock since my husband put it in and sharing the goodies with friends and neighbors. Needless to say, they're happy we got a new oven too.

By the second line, I was singing aloud! Christmas will never be the same XD This should be his theme song ... As always, such a pleasure to read your work, LOVE THIS SO MUCH :D
Oh my god. Hopefully he doesn't do it during Chanukah o.o
I loved it! And love Gordon Ramsay's shows, lol! Mostly the kitchen makeover one. Not Hell's Kitchen near as much. I also love Restaurant: Impossible, a similar show on the Food Network with the huge guy with glasses lol, Robert. Loved your poem, so freakin funny! There may be a couple things that could be done to make it even more perfect in a couple spots. But I don't know what to suggest, and it was really pretty awesome the way it is. Keep up the good work, silver, you never disappoint. Thanks again, sir. :o)
Lol, thank you :D I'm glad you liked it, it's always an honor to have you give positive comments :) Lol, Gordon is a boss lol, and I think I have seen that show, it's awesome too lol. I thought that too, I'll go through it some and brainstorm
I just came across it and had to read it! LOVED IT!
When I saw this, I stared at it before saying, I have to. I'm glad I did, it's extremely funny, and fitting.
I like Gordon Ramsay shows. The kitchen makeover one is good and Hell's Kitchen's ok. I thought this was a funny idea. You seem to come up sometimes with some wacky ideas for poetry which are different and interesting. I enjoyed this one.
I really liked this, I have seen some of Gordon's shows, and I gotta say he is such a talented a** h**e, but then again he has earned the right to be one hasn't he?
This was hilarious! Hehehe. I found myself laughing out loud when I got to the second line, "you better not fry." I loved your sense of humour. Great poem.

The dictionary definition is to make a risky purchase without inspecting the items beforehand. In addition, it can be applied to accepting an idea or plan without a full understanding of its basis.
Sen. Graham realized that he cannot sell us on the idea of increasing our energy bill by $1,200 per year (cap and trade), so he tried to sell us on this idea of becoming energy-independent through so-called emerging green energy and alternative energy.
This is a bait-and-switch con. He baits us with one thing and switches to another. He is a common criminal -- and not a smart one at that. With few exceptions, politicians who have voted for socialized medicine and this energy deception are criminals who have broken their oath to the Constitution. Nowhere in our Constitution are they authorized to do so.
These criminals think voters are dumber than dirt. What needs to be done, come Election Day, is to remove every incumbent from office. Treason trails would come next.
