Leading Learning: Change Student Achievement Today!By: Rosemarye T. Taylor (editor)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
Description'Taylor shows how school leadership actions can turn almost any educational challenge into a positive. Her use of current school administrators as examples, the explanatory charts, and the guiding professional analysis make this book a necessary companion to implementing sustained school reform' - Mary Ann Haas, Retired Executive Director of Curriculum and Instruction, Flagler School District, FL There is no single solution to improving learning and closing the gap for disadvantaged children. Rather, improvement is the result of a number of successful practices used together. This valuable resource shows school and district leaders how specific, consistent actions can result in dramatic change and increased student achievement. From stimulating intellectual growth to making decisions based on data, this book provides leader actions and examples of schools where the gap in learning is closing through exceptional leadership, and includes: - Numerous examples from real schools, offering descriptions and analysis of actions that increase achievement - Interviews with successful headteachers that provide a realistic look at the issues involved - A focus on second-order changes, where small improvements can create dramatic rethinking of the organization, the roles of individuals, and the approach to learning - Ample forms, sample notes, templates, and other materials to get you started Based on theory, but grounded in practice, this book shows headteachers the specific actions they need to take to drive high levels of student achievement in their schools.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Politics, Religion, Social Issues' started by zimv20, May 13, 2006.
truthout, but i've seen no confirmation.
Interesting. We'll have to see what transpires next week...
Can't wait to see how bush handles this one. He'll have no choice but to fire him and the republican party can kiss the November elections goodbye.
Wow. Bush's and Cheney's aides indicted.
And are we to believe they were acting on their own volition? Or can Fitzgerald show that the criminal activity goes even higher?
And wouldn't it be ironic if this was what ended up getting Bush and/or Cheney impeached, not the self-admitted lawbreaking involving the circumvention of FISA?
Why did I even bother to ask?
This just in:
CNN link
Still no smoking gun for Cheney...but it's getting awfully uncomfortable for him and his boss.
And that's not even considering all the other people who are being investigated, such as outgoing CIA executive director Kyle Foggo and Housing and Urban Development Secretary Alphonso Jackson.
The Bush White House -- a cornucopia of corruption.
what are the odds that cheney et. al. used the NSA secret wiretapping program to spy on wilson and plame? i'm thinking just about 100%.
I don't know, but I wouldn't bet against it. Other political opponents as well. Even with a smoking gun though, is anyone actually going to do anything about it? I knows Fitzy is trying, and the Dems are making a big stink, but are we waiting for after Nov or what?
I don't know if I'd be in a big hurry to indict and/or impeach Bush & Cheney, if that's the wait you're referring to. Drawing it out right now may actually be beneficial. If Bush or Cheney were to actually be formally charged with any crimes, it would allow them to spend the time between now and November hollering about partisan prosecution/persecution. This way, the threat just hangs in the air, with a lot of investigations/indictments going on around them. Makes them look really bad without formally targeting the two Big Cheeses themselves.
And, of course, there's the possibility that after November, we'll have a Democratic-controlled House and/or Senate, which would make impeachment that much easier.
BTW, on the subject of impeachment, Nancy Pelosi said on Meet the Press a week or two ago that the Dems were not planning on instituting proceedings, should they take control of any part of Congress in November. Pelosi said the party's platform would be focused on ending the war, and on domestic needs such as health care and the economy.
Much as I'd like to see Bush & Cheney hung up by their thumbs, it's probably a smart position for the Dems to take. It keeps them on the moral high ground, so they don't look like the only reason they want to take power is so they can get their revenge on Bush. And they can always change their minds about impeachment once they're elected, particularly if (as is happening now) worse and worse things keep coming out about this administration. Gives them the ability to say, "Well, we weren't planning on an impeachment, but the more that comes out, the more we realize we can't ignore it."
It frightens me to think of who would take charge of leadership if this goes down the way I think it will eventually.
If this were a game of chess, I'd have to say Fitzgerald is going for all the Kings Horses and all the King's Men, then it's Check Mate for our Humpty Dumpty President.
If any of these guys get indicted they will be out of Prison before Bush is out of the Whitehouse. The best thing would be to draw this out and throw these bums in Jail when Bush is no longer around with his team of draft dodging scumbags.
That's what I was thinking of too, but sadly I don't see them doing anything more than talking even if they took back both houses. I don't even see them doing that. Despite the fact that the other side is already accusing them of trying it. Which is stupid because that's what a lot of people want now, so it's actually kinda helping them even though they aren't doing anything and are only planning on it as a last ditch effort if it comes to that. I wonder if things get bad enough if the Republicans might try something in an attempt to distance themselves from Bush. If things get bad enough. Think it would help?
Still no word? Anybody hear anything yet?
Don't worry... if it happens, it'll show up here.
I know- but I've got a nice bottle of Veuve chilling just for the occasion.
and if it doesn't, the NSA will remind me by making clicking noises on my phone.
Next Tuesday?
Right. Steve is going to announce it along with the new MacBooks.
Then it'll never happen!
"one more thing..."
Rove "Scoop" Remains Exclusive
I think this is the part where someone is supposed to say that even if the story is a hoax, it sounds like it could be true and that's what's so troubling.
truthout has published a partial retraction.
The Rove Indictment Story as of Right Now
By Marc Ash,
Fri May 19th, 2006 at 04:23:39 PM EDT :: Fitzgerald Investigation
On Saturday afternoon, May 13, 2006, TruthOut ran a story titled, "Karl Rove Indicted on Charges of Perjury, Lying to Investigators." The story stated in part that top Bush aide Karl Rove had earlier that day been indicted on the charges set forth in the story's title.
The time has now come, however, to issue a partial apology to our readership for this story. While we paid very careful attention to the sourcing on this story, we erred in getting too far out in front of the news-cycle. In moving as quickly as we did, we caused more confusion than clarity. And that was a disservice to our readership and we regret it.
As such, we will be taking the wait-and-see approach for the time being. We will keep you posted.
Marc Ash, Executive Director - t r u t h o u t
That doesn't sound like a retraction to me. On the contrary, it sounds as though they are sticking by the original story that Fitzgerald indicted Rove on May 12, and the only reason this hasn't been reported on by any legitimate news sources is that truthout is "too far out in front of the news cycle."
What the hell is a partial apology? Sounds like BS to me.
It tells me they know something is in the works, but they jumped the gun
that's why they're taking the wait and see approach without admitting they
were wrong.

Our creed? Do it right. Do it right from the start, do it right at every step, do it right all the way to the finish.
Because while excavation is the first task, we also see the big picture. The way we do things will set the entire project up for success, so we work closely with all the other partners to get the job done right.

The goal of a mentor is to help their shadow to travel down the path of their aspirations by lighting the way, and holding open the door. Not everyone is perfect, and at one point, the mentor was in the shoes of the mentee, making mistakes. Hopefully, the mentee should be a less experienced version of the mentor, and knowing that, the mentor should help the students succeed in the obstacles that were once too ominous for them themselves to climb.

Believing that you are beautiful.
The only thing is, although i'm plus size myself, i would NEVER see my body as beautiful like theirs. It's so funny how i can look at women who are bigger than me & what not, and see them as beautiful, yet when i see my own body i think EW! I have one image of my body which i will put below:
I then clicked onto one of the pages called chubby-bunnies, and by god i am so glad i did! It literally is so heart warming to see all of these women that are not scared to be who they are. Women who will wear what makes them happy, wear what they want. By far one of the most inspirational things i've ever seen. I will be checking back on this site more often, and who knows, i might take my own cheeky photos and try and grow to love my own body!
Love Louisa

Ehhh..you look HAWT! Honestly, looking at that photo I was thinking it was another inspiration one that you had found.ReplyDelete
I'm the same, I hate my body & I think I always will, I'll check out the site and let you know what I think!Replies
Thank you, and yeah deffinately, it made me feel a lot happier! The women on there really are inspirational xDelete
You shouldn't be conscious at all! There's so much pressure on girls to be stick thin these days and its silly! We should all try to be happy with what we've got :) x x x.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's hard not to be i guess, just learning to accept yourself & be proud of who you are. I could probably see someone with the exact same shape as me, height and everything, and i would see them as beautiful haha! Too much photoshopping on magazines i rekon! xxDelete
I used to feel the exact same, mainly in high school as I was the only the 'fat chick with a great personality'.ReplyDelete
It wasn't until the end of 6th Form until I thought 'you know what I'm never going to see half of these people again why should I give a shit what they think'.
As that was only last year at the moment I like my body not love. It just takes time not a process you can rush, you just need to be you. That page is beautiful, thanks for sharing it now a follower of them. It really is inspiring :D

Gillett Entertainment Group is pleased to announce that STING will be performing his most celebrated songs accompanied by The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra (conducted by Steven Mercurio) at the Bell Centre on Saturday, July 24th.
Drawing from a diverse and illustrious career that has produced numerous multi-platinum albums, a staggering list of number one songs, countless accolades and worldwide record sales of nearly 100 million, Sting's greatest hits will be reinterpreted with brand new orchestrations created especially for this tour. Selections will include fan-favorites such as "Roxanne," "Next To You," "Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic" and "Every Breath You Take," to notable songs from Sting's enduring solo career – "Englishman in New York," "Fragile," "Russians," "If I Ever Lose My Faith in You," "Fields of Gold," and "Desert Rose."
Presented in a variety of settings, the world tour begins June 2nd in Vancouver and then travels to numerous cities across North America.
Never afraid to blaze the path of new musical territory, Sting's foray into the classical realm began with the crossover success of his #1 album Songs from the Labyrinth, a lute-based interpretation of the music of 16th century composer John Dowland, released in 2006 on Deutsche Grammophon. After completing the enormously successful Police reunion world tour, Sting returned to pursue his passion for uniting musical genres with his most recent release If On A Winter's Night which debuted at #1 on Billboard's classical chart and remains there.
The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra has previously performed with internationally-renowned artists ranging from opera luminaries Andrea Bocelli, Bryn Terfel, Renée Fleming, Kiri Te Kanawa and the late Luciano Pavarotti to popular cultural icons including Burt Bacharach, George Benson, Michel Legrand, Diana Krall, Tina Turner and Randy Newman. The 45-piece orchestra will be featured on all North American concert dates of the tour.
Sting will also be joined by a quartet comprised of Dominic Miller (Sting's longtime guitarist), David Cossin (a multi-percussion specialist in new and experimental music and featured member of the Bang on a Can All-Stars), Jo Lawry (vocalist) and Ira Coleman (bassist).

The Colts & Fillies Club, which currently has over 14,000 members and celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, aims to bring horseracing to the next generation of racing enthusiasts by making the sport more accessible, educational and fun.
The Club is free to join for all children aged 16 and under and five dedicated family days form an integral part of the racing calendar at Ascot. There are specifically tailored activities for the Colts & Fillies members to take part in, including organised stable trips, competitions and various raceday initiatives.
In 2012, the Club will own Yurituni, a racehorse trained by Eve Johnson Houghton, and the young members will be able to experience the thrill of racehorse ownership by visiting the horse throughout the year and following her performance on the track.
Anthony McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who met at the age of 13 on the set of the hit BBC children's drama, Byker Grove, also have more than a passing interest in racing now that they own the horse, Primaeval, with a group of friends.
In 2011, Primaeval ran twice at Ascot and it was here that they became aware of the Colts & Fillies Club.
"We had a lot of fun with horse racing last year, it's a great sport and a day at the races is really exciting. We're thrilled to be involved in the Colts & Fillies Club as it offers children the opportunity to learn all about horses and racing whilst at the same time having a great deal of fun! I'm particularly keen to see how their horse runs during 2012." said Dec.
Ant added, "Ascot is a great family friendly track and we can't wait to visit on 1st April to have a great day out and to meet some of the Colts and Fillies members".

Last month, 9-1-1 Magazine published my investigative story about changes in emergency communications during the 10 years since the Columbine High School shootings.
Sadly, the story became an unintentional memorial to a key source, Cindy Cline. She died last month. Cline was the shift supervisor at the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office 911 call center during the Columbine shootings. She helped the center field hundreds of calls on April 20, 1999, including one from President Clinton. The call center was among the only segments of the law enforcement response that didn't face scrutiny and harsh criticism after the tragic shootings. Cline was a national model for police communications.
The magazine did not post the story online because the editors want to drive print circulation. I want to respect their wishes. Contact me to read more of the story.

Kathleen, Lisa, Angie
She Sells Yarn
222 South Beach St.
Daytona Beach, FL 32114
6 Hanks of Koigu KPPPM (assorted colors)
8 Hanks of Cascade Sierra Quattro (SummerDaze)
7 balls of Lion Brand Nature's Choice Organic Cotton (Dusty Blue)
Yea! I bought yarn today. After a year long yarn fast, Angie and I visited "She Sells Yarn" in Daytona Beach, FL, so that I could fall/jump off the wagon. The owner, Kathleen, was lovely. We had a wonderful time. I choose her shop because she has Koigu, so leaving with some was no surprise. I chose these colorways with the Dipped Infinity Scarf in mind. Although, I have knit with other Cascade yarns, I have not come across Sierra Quarto before. I loved the color and feel of it. This will likely become a Shawl That Jazz shawl. After the petting, drooling, choosing, paying, and picture taking, were done, Kathleen was kind enough to give some recommendations for lunch. We ended up a couple of doors down at a pub with great burgers and (according to tween) awesome fish and chips.
One the way home, we stopped at Joanne's to get thread. While there I grabbed some Nature's Choice Organic Cotton. Yes, I know that this is a bargain yarn, and I am a self professed yarn snob, but I like the stuff. I used it for Nancy's Xmas shawl and liked it enough to want one for myself (Hopefully she will let me take pictures of it when she gets back from Chicago).
That was my day, yarn, lunch, more yarn, home. I am a very happy camper.

Outcomes assessment, as part of institutional effectiveness, is a process that helps faculty and staff gauge academic program success by comparing student achievement results to expectations and continually making improvements based on evidence. With its focus on program and curricular improvement, outcomes assessment indicates the extent to which students demonstrate competence in their disciplines. Like teaching, the purpose of outcomes assessment is to ensure that students are learning what you intend for them to learn.
The traditional method of assessing student learning by focusing on input doesn't reveal the competencies students have when they graduate. We need a way to describe what students are able to do as a result of their learning. We need a way to share evidence about the value they attain from the university. For academic units, value is defined by achieving outcomes, that is, the knowledge, skills, and abilities that you expect students to demonstrate.
What are some fundamental reasons to conduct outcomes assessment?
- Outcomes assessment helps faculty and staff in understanding the context of student learning
- Outcomes assessment offers an ongoing process for collecting valid evidence about student learning
- Outcomes assessment provides usable information through analyzing the evidence, reflecting on their meaning, and then sharing findings with constituents
- Outcomes assessment is a practical, efficient, grounded method for improving student learning
What are some benefits of outcomes assessment?
- Enhancing student learning
- Evaluating effectiveness of curricula
- Improving the program and its standing
- Informing planning and decision making
- Supporting student recruitment
- Providing evidence of need when requesting resources
How does assessment planning work?
Faculty, staff, and administrators can work together to develop and implement an assessment plan that identifies and measures important goals, outcomes and sources of data. The plan should be reviewed frequently and revised any time new learning or operational outcomes are identified. Generally, programs update assessment plans early each academic year and submit results, analyses, and action plans by the following fall.

A good drawing?
"A discourse between definition and the unresolved, the systematic and chaotic, certainty and speculation".
Simon Betts, from, The Good Drawing, CCW graduate school publications.
"There are no rules; drawing can be as minimal as a breath and as complex as the wave structures and recordings of the ocean. Drawing is kinaesthetic; a movement between points, a connection, recognition and gesture of any idea, mark, trace, line, symbol, shape, medium, space or surface".
Irene Barberis, from, The Good Drawing, CCW graduate school publications.
And, as Paul Klee once said, "A drawing is simply a line going for a walk".
This series of darkroom drawings is ongoing.
They are a dialogue between myself and the materials - process led.
They have absolutely everything in common with landscape, rural and urban.
They are definitely not abstract images.
They resonate with half remembered images and sounds of Sheffield, the Peak District, Cornwall, motorway journeys, walks in the sun, the sky through the attic window, bike rides, cracks in the pavement...

Z.D. Ramsdell House
ListenThe iconic Ramsdell House was built in Ceredo, WV in 1857-1858 and was occupied by prominent early resident Z. D. Ramsdell. This house was the first brick home in Ceredo. It is said that this home was used by the Underground Railroad for those escaping freedom, this being the last stop before crossing the Ohio River. Today it is on the National Register of Historical Places.
Zopher Deane Ramsdell (1816-1886) was a native of Massachusetts who moved with his family to Ceredo in 1858. They came at the invitation of Eli Thayer, who was attempting to establish an abolitionist, slave-free community in a southern slave state. Ramsdell started as a manufacturer of boots, saddles, and other leather goods. When the Civil War began he enlisted as a quartermaster in the 5th West Virginia Volunteer Infantry and rose through the ranks to become a captain under General Robert Milroy. After the war President Grant appointed him to be a postmaster. Ramsdell briefly served in the West Virginia state senate and was a delegate to the national conventions that nominated presidents Grant, Hayes, and Garfield. He was also an active proponent of education, helping to form one of the first Free School laws for the Ceredo Educational District.
The Greek Revival-style house was constructed in 1857-1858, allegedly on top of an Indian burial mound. It was built by Denney Shine and the Chase Brothers Contractors. The building materials included native stones and bricks produced in a local brickyard. Z. D. Ramsdell lived in the home until his death in 1886; the home was occupied by his descendants until 1977 and later acquired by the Ceredo Historic Landmark Commission. In the 1980s it underwent a two-year restoration thanks to donations and a grant from the West Virginia Department of Culture and History. The house was added to the National Register of Historical Places in 1983.
Z. D. Ramsdell was an abolitionist and tradition holds that his home was part of the Underground Railroad. With Ceredo being so close to the free state of Ohio, the Ramsdell House would have made an ideal location. Slaves would hide in a hidden basement or in spaces underneath the floorboards, and then be smuggled at night across the Ohio River into Ohio. However no evidence has been found to support these claims. There have also been persistent rumors that the home is haunted by the spirits of slaves, Civil War soldiers, or Native Americans from the burial mound. Several paranormal activity investigators, including Original West Virginia Paranormal, have examined the home and claimed to have heard various noises and movements.
In April 2017, the Ramsdell House was closed to begin new renovations and repairs. A reopening date has not yet been announced.

So you might know from a previous post that I won't be studying psychology next year. But I've also been rethinking all of this since discovering a desire to be involved in pastoral care.
Not having gained a place in a psychology course, people expect that I will now apply for a counselling course. This is fair enough; that's what I said I would do. But I also started thinking about continuing at college. And I couldn't let this idea go.
I would love to continue studying because I loved this year at college. Just thinking about continuing made me excited. I want to be equipped to be able to better answer people's questions about God, to teach the Bible well and to care for people in a distinctly Christian way. I will never get a better opportunity than here and now to study theology and study it with J.
I also feel that if I studied counselling next year it would be because others want or expect me to and not because I wanted to. I don't think this is a good way to decide what to do.
Choosing to study at college again next year is not the easy option in many ways, or at least not everything about it will be easy or enjoyable. I will have to preach in women's chapel and I hate public speaking. I'm sure philosophy will turn my head upside-down. I'm not looking forward to the holiday homework or fighting the temptation to eat sweets at morning tea every day for the next two years.
When I told J that I had decided to continue at college and would email college to apply for this transfer he was really excited. Until then he hadn't shown me exactly how he felt about me coming back to college, not wanting to sway my decision.
So that's it, I'm going back to college next year! College has allowed me to transfer into the Bachelor of Theology which means I'll be at college for two more years. I have to do a bridging assignment for church history, as well as the regular holiday work that everyone does. I'll be busy doing that for the rest of my holidays, having not done any yet because I didn't have to!
I'm looking forward to what God will be teaching me while I'm at college and I hope you enjoy following my journey.

What to study next year

A majority of the United Nations member states defied threats by the United States to declare Jerusalem as the capital city of Israel, terming the decision null and void.
At the Un General Assembly emergency meeting on Thursday approved the non-binding resolution on Thursday. One hundred and twenty-eight countries voted in favour, nine voted against and 35 countries abstained.
Most African countries voted in favour of the resolution. Togo was the only African countries that voted against the UN resolution. Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Benin, Lesotho, South Sudan and Uganda abstained. Kenya Zambia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Central African Republic, Sao Tome and Principe and Sierra Leone did not vote as their representatives were absent.
Read: Pres Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital condemned
The countries voted for the resolution, which read in part "…any decisions and actions which purport to have altered, the character, status or demographic composition of the Holy City of Jerusalem have no legal effect, are null and void and must be rescinded in compliance with relevant resolutions of the Security Council, and in this regard, calls upon all States to refrain from the establishment of diplomatic missions in the Holy City of Jerusalem, pursuant to resolution 478 (1980) of the Security Council,"
The votes came in even after a series of threats for President Trump and the US ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, who announced that the US is 'watching the votes' and 'taking names.'
Botswana was among the countries that categorically condemn the threat in a statement.
President Trump had earlier in the month reversed decades of the US policy by recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital in a bid to move its embassy there. The move was condemned by many countries who believed it would jeopardise peace talks between Israel and Palestine.
Read: Ethiopia Backs the AU's Stance on Jerusalem
Egypt introduced the resolution to block the decision by the US. However, the US exercised its veto powers to block Egypt's resolution, which received support from 14 other member states.
Palestine and other Islam and Arab countries then moved the resolution before the UN General Assembly, which the US could not avoid censure.
Palestine President Mahmoud Abbas declared the results of the vote as a 'victory for Palestine'.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the vote and extended his gratitude to Trump for his support of Israel.
What remains to be seen in whether the United States will act on its threats, considering a number of African countries benefit from US aid.
