Borehole geophysics is the science of recording and analyzing measurements of physical properties made in wells or test holes. Probes that measure different properties are lowered into the borehole to collect continuous or point data that is graphically displayed as a geophysical log. Multiple logs typically are collected to take advantage of their synergistic nature--much more can be learned by the analysis of a suite of logs as a group than by the analysis of the same logs individually. Borehole geophysics is used in ground-water and environmental investigations to obtain information on well construction, rock lithology and fractures, permeability and porosity, and water quality. The geophysical logging system consists of probes, cable and drawworks, power and processing modules, and data recording units. State-of-the-art logging systems are controlled by a computer and can collect multiple logs with one pass of the probe

Office 365 - Disruption or Transformation
Microsoft has been polishing its Online Service offerings since the early 2000’s through its original Business Productivity Online Suite (BPOS) which has later become what we now know as Office 365.
It’s been a shaky road since 2010 but finally we are seeing remarkable technology come through Office 365 and into the hands of all users. By unpacking what is possible within the suite, companies are fence sitting as to whether it is Disruption or Transformation.
So, what do you think it is?
Let’s unload and explore the pro’s and con’s of what customers are experiencing and the strategic direction of Microsoft.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

5. Professional Learning Communities:
What are they?
―…A Professional Learning
Community is a collaboration of
teachers, administrators, parents,
and students who work together to
seek out best practices, test them
in the classroom, continuously
improve processes, and focus on
results.‖
Rick DuFour 2002
5/25/2011
6. Professional Learning Communities: What are they?
Fundamental Assumptions
We can make a difference: Our
schools can be more effective.
Improving our people is the key to
improving our schools.
Significant school improvement will
impact teaching and learning.
5/25/2011
7. Professional Learning Communities: What are they?
Three Big Ideas
Ensuring that students learn
A culture of collaboration
A focus on results
5/25/2011
8. Ensuring that students learn
―Learning‖ rather than ―teaching‖ is the
fundamental purpose of your school.
Whatever it takes…
9. Collaboration
―Teacher collaboration in strong
professional learning communities
improves the quality and equity of
student learning, promotes
discussions that are grounded in
evidence and analysis rather than
opinion, and fosters collective
responsibility for student success.‖
--McLaughlin and Talbert, 2006
10. Collaboration
The most powerful strategy for improving
student learning—
Teachers work together in teams to
Clarify what students must learn
Gather evidence of student learning
Analyze that evidence
Identify the most powerful teaching
strategies Hattie, 2009
12. Focus on results
―School systems must create a culture
that places value on managing by
results, rather than on managing by
programs. It is essential that leaders
work to establish a culture where
results are carefully assessed and
actions are taken based on these
assessments.‖
Schlechty, 2005

Focus on learning,
Collaboration, and
Focus on results

17. The Role of the Reading Specialist in the
Professional Learning Community
International Reading Association’s Position Statement:
―Teaching all children to read in today’s diverse classrooms requires a reading
specialist in every school. Reading specialists provide expert instruction,
assessment, and leadership for the reading program. With their advanced
preparation and experience in reading, they are responsible for the literacy
performance of all readers, in particular those who struggle.‖
Major Roles of Reading Specialist:
Instruction
Assessment
Leadership
19. Role#1 ~ Instruction
What did the role of the Reading
Specialist used to look like?
― An educator who worked with struggling readers supplementing
or supplanting the classroom teacher.‖
What should the role of the Reading
Specialist look like?
Specialist and Classroom teacher work collaboratively to
implement a research based program that meets the needs
of all students.
5/25/2011
20. Collaboration and Communication with the
classroom teacher are necessary for inside
and outside classroom instruction.
Instruction
~ Goal- ―To extend excellent classroom teaching, meeting the
needs for the literacy performance of readers in
general and struggling readers in particular.‖
~ Develop a good professional relationship ~ Team Work
~Correlation forms
~Planning: supporting, suggesting new ideas, offering expertise
~Always focus on how to maximize time for instruction---more
time in instruction leads to greater learning.

21. Classroom Instruction
Instruction
~Small group
~Whole class- Reading Specialist is
modeling good classroom instruction.
(Especially good for new teachers)
Specialized and Individualized
Instruction
~ Intervention
~ Reading Recovery, PALS, etc.
22. Role #2 Assessment
―The Reading Specialist should have specialized knowledge of assessment and
diagnosis that helps develop, implement, and evaluate the school program and
design individual instruction.‖
Assessment should be:
valid
comprehensive-measures all critical aspects of reading
authentic-should involve real reading as much as possible
quick and easy to administer and interpret- don’t take too much time
away from instruction
Assisting Teacher
Discussing assessment results
Developing rubrics and criteria for reading instruction
Helping teachers learn how to administer and interpret results
Collaborating on how to use the results found
Assessments
Observation of a child documented by checklists or anecdotal records
IRI’s
Tim Rasinski’s Quick Assessment

23. Role # 3 Leadership is
Multidimensional
A Reading Specialist is a resource
• Educators- especially new teachers
• Provides guidance to instructional aides, tutors, or volunteers
• Parents- good home/school connections, assisting teachers with parents &
developing good relationships with parents.
• Community
Staff Development
• Know the needs of your staff by observation or take a survey. Seek your principal’s
opinion.
• Examples of Staff Development, Fluency, Book Studies
Literacy Program Development and Coordination
• Has extensive Knowledge of SOL’s, curriculum framework and county’s pacing
guides
• Takes initiative
• Works hand in hand with principal to incorporate best practices in your school.
• Helps with selection of materials in school. Often works with librarian.
• Assists parents with literacy. Parent resource room
• May be called to be a member of a county literacy committee.
A Reading Specialist is a change agent.

29. Team Meetings
What should students know and be able to
do?
How will we know that the students are
not learning?
How do we respond when students do not
learn?
How do we respond when students learn
more?
32. Struggles We’ve Had
Things We’ve Learned
Takes a while to gel and figure out.
Having group norms for meetings helps
us focus.
Having a time-keeper helps keep things
moving along.
Whoever takes notes has a harder time
engaging in conversation…Might rotate.
Include a venting/debriefing time if
necessary. Limit it!
5/25/2011
33. Struggles We’ve Had
Things We’ve Learned
Instructional planning wasn’t seamless.
Working with our unit plan template felt
disconnected to what we knew about literacy
development. The process of working
through it was valuable, though.
Goals for the year help us reflect on how to
more effectively map out pacing guide.
Principal support critical!
5/25/2011
34. Struggles We’ve Had
Things We’ve Learned
Initially the challenge of coordinating interests
and efforts and building a shared vision rather
than administering a set of directives
emerged.
Teachers are developing professional
transparency – a willingness to be vulnerable
and to learn from successes and setbacks.
5/25/2011
35. Struggles We’ve Had
Things We’ve Learned
The conversations are the essence of our
work towards excellence for all students.
Learning theory teaches us that we learn best
when we are able to dialogue with peers.
The forms developed and used to analyze
data, for example, give us information about
our children’s progress; however, it is the
conversations we have about the implications
of that data--the things we need to do
differently--that will lead to systemic change.
5/25/2011
36. Struggles We’ve Had
Things We’ve Learned
―Rigor‖ is the one word that captures the shifts
created by this process.
Reflective practice has increased as teachers
examine their classroom instruction in
comparison with research – and examine their
results.
We seek more effective use of time… improved
targeted instruction for individual children…
more intentional decision-making in unit and
lesson design…greater support in a collegial
environment…more joy in learning for both
staff and students.

Susan This book will help reinforce main idea of what we are doing.
Judy- Read to self and underline key words. Mention the work of Rick and Becky DuFour
These are things we need to understand that and are fundamental to PLC. Historically, teachers haven’t felt empowered……share leadership.
1. Learning rather than teaching….
Do the actions of ALL of the teachers in your school show that they embrace the first apple? What does that mean..”Whatever it takes?” Talk about that with your elbow partner.Whatever it takes—leads us to the next big idea of a professional learning community: NEXT SLIDE
Reade first…Tradition of teachers not collaborating…Departmentalization creates isolation. Fourth grade example…
--Rowers have to work together as a team. Runners in a marathon have a common goal, but they don’t have to work together. Which are schools more like? Sports Analogy …Susan…soccer example
Penguin videoConsider the effects of collaboration—of working together.
What is the important thing? Groups
Talk about the difference…PLC “light” or PLC “if you want to”

Look at diagram with partner and identify the 3 roles of a Reading Specialist. What is the purpose of these roles? Student achievement

Whole class….Intervention

Principals can’t be the only leaders in schools. School improvement team
Talk about the difference…PLC “light” or PLC “if you want to”
Talk about the difference…PLC “light” or PLC “if you want to”
--Various types or organizational structures in schools—May have vertical teams (representatives from all grade levels), content teams, most schools have grade level teams. Reading specialists are usually on School Improvement Teams or Literacy Teams. Regardless of the type of team, a team in a professional learning community will have a focus on student achievement. These are the four questions that focus the work of school teams.--We’ll talk mostly about grade level team meetings. --
--So how is a grade level team meeting different in a professional learning community than what most of us are used to? Less time is spent planning field trips and materials orders and more time is spent looking at data—especially at the end of a grading period—and on collaborative unit planning and designing assessments. Fifth grade mystery unit.
Video of team meeting.
Group norms—example of people coming in late, bringing other stuff to do, etc.
