Private School K-12 Educator Perceptions Of Professional Learning Communities Based On Years of Experience
No full textThis mixed methods research analyzes the effectiveness of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) as viewed through the lens of Central California private school teachers based on years of experience. The necessity for the research derived from the utilization of PLCs as an effective training methodology for private school educators. PLCs are increasingly being implemented regionally as well as throughout the state of California for traditional (non-faith based) K-12 institutions. This mixed methods study focuses on K-12 teachers in private K-12 schools who have already implemented the PLC model to determine its overall effectiveness as perceived by educators. The desire to yield both quantifiable data and qualitative inferences determined the practicability of a mixed methods approach to the survey. Through utilization of the Professional Learning Community Assessment-Revised (PLCA-R) survey method, responses were delivered through an online survey tool developed by Oliver, Hipp and Huffman and facilitated by hosting website Southwest Educational Development Laboratory (SEDL).ProQuest Traditional Publishing Optio

Monitoring of transition zones in railways
No full textTransitions between railway track on embankments or natural ground and fixed structures such as bridges and culverts often require substantial additional maintenance to preserve line, level and ride quality. This extra maintenance not only increases costs but also causes delays. Despite its importance for railway infrastructure owners, the fundamental cause of the poor performance of transition zones is not fully understood. To gain a better insight into the physical mechanisms involved, an extensive field investigation has commenced on a transition zone in The Netherlands. The transition zone consists of two reinforced concrete slabs which span between the normal track and a concrete culvert – a form of structure common on Dutch Railways. At the study location, the track is generally on a 4 m high embankment, initially built of sand, on top of a peat/clay layer 7 m thick. At a depth of 11 m below the track there is a natural sand layer, in which the piles that support the culvert are founded. The transition zone requires substantial additional maintenance. This paper presents data on the dynamic behaviour of the transition zone in response to scheduled passenger trains. Accelerations and velocities of the track, soil and approach slabs were measured, from which displacements were calculated. The dynamic track stiffness and the motion of the embankment and approach slab are also discussed
Australia's women writers in a man's world
No full textGwen Harwood, Ruth Park, Dorothy Hewitt and Christina Stead – all went on to become notable Australian writers. They were very different women from very different backgrounds, but they shared a sense of urgency around their vocation – their “need” to be a writer – that would not let them rest. These precocious girls in Australian cities weighed their chances and made their plans. Dr Ann-Marie Priest teaches English literature at Central Queensland University and is the author of A Free Flame – Australian Women Writers and Vocation. On Tuesday 10 April 2018, Ann-Marie Priest addressed The Sydney Institute to discuss these four Australian women writers who challenged the “man’s world” they survived
Luke the priest: the authority of the author of the Third Gospel
No full textThis book focuses on the authority and status of the author of Luke-Acts. What authority did he have to write a Gospel, to interpret the Jewish Scriptures and traditions of Israel, to interpret the Jesus traditions, and to update the narrative with a second volume with its interpretation of Paul and the other apostles who appear in the Acts narrative? Rick Strelan constructs the author as a Jewish Priest, examining such issues as writing and orality, authority and tradition, and the status and role of priests. The analysis is set within the context of scholarly opinion about the author, the intended audience and other related issues
Terry Rey: The Priest and the Prophetess [Audio interview]
No full textTemple Religion professor Terry Rey is the author of The Priest and the Prophetess: Abbe Ouviere, Romaine Riviere, and the Revolutionary Atlantic World (Oxford University Press, 2017). In The Priest and the Prophetess he tells unlikely story about Abbe Ouviere, a politically astute, shapeshifting French priest, and Romaine Riviere, a religiously-inspired, cross-dressing, slave-owning Black military leader, whose lives briefly intersected in the chaotic early days of the Haitian Revolution at the latter’s coffee plantation turned mountain redoubt. Their encounter spanned a few days in which they celebrated the Catholic mass and concluded a military agreement. The fates of Abbe Ouviere, later known as Doctor Pascalis, and Romaine Riviere, whose nom de guerre was Romaine la Prophetess, turned out very differently. While Romaine was soon lost to history, the Abbe made his way to Philadelphia where he launched his medical career by caring for the sick during the 1793 yellow fever epidemic. In part one of this interview, Professor Rey tells the story of Abbe Ouviere and Romaine Riviere at the start of the Haitian Revolution.
In the second part of my interview with Professor Terry Rey on his new book, The Priest and the Prophetess: Abbe Ouviere, Romaine Riviere, and the Revolutionary Atlantic World, we leave Haiti and the Haitian Revolution behind. Romaine la Prophetess has disappeared and will soon perish in the flames of the revolution. That terrible conflict will continue alongside its European cousin, the French Revolution, until the early years of the next century. A hemisphere away, an exhausted Felix Alexander Pascalis Ouviere washes up on Philadelphia’s shores, having survived an attack on the British brig Catherine by a French privateer in Delaware Bay. Among his few possessions is a letter of introduction addressed to George Washington. Soon Dr. Pascalis will be treating yellow fever victims in that miasmic summer of 1793 in the company of such luminaries as Benjamin Rush. Abbe Ouviere is nowhere to be found.
