This article discusses an approach to ESL/EFL teaching that aims to help teachers bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in the classroom. It proposes integrating an understanding of language variation across communication contexts, using corpus-based descriptive grammar, and incorporating scaffolded language learning activities based on sociocultural theory. This specific approach is intended to address challenges faced by K-12 teachers in connecting theory to practice by providing concrete models of language use.
The document discusses the Salem Witch Trials of 1692 and Arthur Miller's play The Crucible. It describes how religious persecution in their native England led Puritans to settle in America but they later persecuted others through hysteria over witches. Accusations of witchcraft stemmed from spectral evidence and led to executions. The Crucible was written by Miller as an allegory for the anti-Communist hysteria and McCarthyism of the 1950s, likening the trials to a witch hunt where rumors destroyed lives.
The document describes a student's recollections and experiences from various school events and activities over multiple years, including dressing up as Willy Wonka for World Book Day, making a cookie snake for Chinese New Year, playing a shepherd in a Christmas play, enjoying cycling to school, finding the school holidays fun, watching Brazil in the 2012 Olympics, and liking a visit from author Julia Donaldson.

This assignment describes a cultural self-portrait assignment given to postbaccalaureate teacher candidates to increase their cultural awareness. In the assignment, candidates create a presentation that explores their family history, ethnicity, and how their cultural identity may impact their teaching. This helps candidates examine personal biases and cultural responsiveness. It also benefits faculty by providing insight into students' backgrounds to strengthen integrated course content around diversity issues. The goal is to better prepare new teachers for diverse classrooms.

Lunenburg, fred c[1]. group decision making nftej v20 n3 2010William Kritsonis
Group decision making has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantages include bringing together a greater sum of knowledge, more approaches to problems, generating more alternatives, and increased acceptance of decisions. However, groups also face challenges like pressure toward conformity, domination by individuals, conflicting goals among members, undesirable compromises, diffusion of responsibility, and increased time. Effective group decision making requires establishing norms, training members, avoiding premature solutions, setting boundaries, and focusing on practical problems.

This document summarizes Andrew Clay Shafer's talk on software processes. It discusses that Agile processes like Scrum have been oversimplified and lost their original spirit. It promotes focusing on frequent delivery, automated testing, minimizing work in progress, prioritizing quality, and inspecting and adapting processes based on outcomes. Context is important in choosing a process, and processes should promote building software to fulfill a vision rather than just completing tasks. Measuring outcomes and having conversations around user stories are also discussed.
The City of Houston appealed a judgment awarding damages to Gerald Kallina under the Texas Whistleblower Act. Kallina, a former division manager for the City, conducted an audit that found $400,000 worth of assets were missing from a City warehouse. He reported this to his supervisor, Lathenia Harris. Shortly after, Kallina was fired. The court found that Kallina initiated the grievance process as required and that reporting the missing assets to Harris was sufficient, as she was authorized to regulate and enforce the relevant policies. The court affirmed the judgment in favor of Kallina.

Schizophrenia is explained through both biological and social approaches. The biological approach suggests schizophrenia results from a defective gene called PPP3CC that causes an imbalance in dopamine levels in the brain. Excessive dopamine in the limbic system is linked to positive symptoms like delusions, while low dopamine in the prefrontal cortex is linked to negative symptoms like poor cognitive functioning. The social explanation proposes those from lower social classes living in urban areas face greater stress factors like poor housing and unemployment, putting them at higher risk of developing schizophrenia. Both nature and nurture are believed to play a role in the development and symptoms of the disorder.
