This article discusses the responsibility of K-12 principals in improving the academic achievement of African American children through effective teacher induction and mentoring programs. The article reviews literature showing that both school-level factors like segregation and lack of resources, as well as ineffective teachers, contribute to the achievement gap between white and black students. The No Child Left Behind Act aimed to close this gap by providing high-quality teachers and induction support to all schools, but research shows these programs are often lacking or nonexistent in schools with mostly black and low-income students. The article then describes a study that analyzed survey responses from new teachers in a predominantly black school district to identify teaching conditions that could help or hinder academic achievement for black children.

This document summarizes a journal article that discusses culturally responsive science teaching techniques to encourage African American students. It begins with historical context on the underrepresentation and low achievement of African Americans in science. Current data shows a persistent achievement gap, with African Americans scoring lower than other groups on science assessments. The article then discusses movement expressiveness as an important part of African American culture and recommends incorporating movement into science lessons as a culturally responsive teaching strategy. Specific movement-based teaching techniques are described, such as using stations, observation walks, storytelling with gestures, and dances or skits to review concepts. The goal is to improve engagement and science achievement among African American students.

This document provides an overview of PHP arrays including how to create, access, and traverse arrays. Key points covered include:
- PHP arrays can be indexed (like C arrays) or associative (like hashes in other languages).
- Common array functions allow checking properties, extracting keys/values, merging, slicing, and traversing arrays.
- Arrays can be iterated with loops like foreach to access elements sequentially.
So in summary, the document discusses the basic concepts and usage of PHP arrays, from creation and population to common manipulation and traversal techniques.

The document discusses a court case involving Karen Jo Barrow, a teacher in the Greenville Independent School District. Barrow applied for an assistant principal position but was denied the job after refusing a senior official's request that she move her children from private Christian school to the district's public schools. Barrow sued the district claiming her constitutional and civil rights were violated. The court determined that the school district was not liable under federal law because the superintendent who made the request, not the school board, was not the official policymaker. However, the court denied summary judgment on Barrow's state law claims. The implications are that under Texas law, school boards make policies while superintendents administer them, so the district
Recently, many countries have adopted laws that introduce, or plan to introduce, criminal penalties around the transmission of HIV - which will undermine public health and development initiatives, and disproportionately impact vulnerable groups.
By protecting everyone's human rights - including access for all to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support - we reduce the vulnerability.

Solar power is a renewable energy source that uses sunlight to generate electricity through solar panels. It provides a huge amount of energy from the sun, enough to power the earth for over 45 minutes. In New Zealand, solar power is commonly used to power street lamps, buildings, and small devices. Solar panels absorb heat from sunlight which boils a liquid to create steam and spin a turbine, generating electricity. The document suggests that solar power could be used at a school by installing solar panels on the many roofs to help power computers, calculators, and potentially heaters.
1) The document discusses an Austrian project called eLSA that aims to promote e-maturity in secondary schools through establishing goals and certifying schools that meet those goals.
2) Some key goals of eLSA include having students and teachers regularly use e-learning approaches and sharing experiences, revising school programs to include e-learning aspects, and offering students IT/e-learning certificates.
3) Schools applying for eLSA certification must show evidence of meeting goals like teachers experiencing e-learning in their subjects and collaborating with other teachers.

Selected Spotlights on Informatics Education in AustriaPeter Micheuz
This document discusses informatics education in Austrian schools. It provides examples of fields of activity and research around developing competence models, interventions in primary education, and reforms to the lower secondary curriculum and "Matura" exam. It outlines the stratified Austrian school system and describes efforts to introduce informatics at various levels, from non-formal education in primary schools to an obligatory 9th grade subject and electives in upper secondary. The document also notes inconsistencies between schools in their Matura exam topics in informatics and calls for a more standardized approach. Overall it aims to establish informatics as a foundation for digital education across the Austrian education system.
The document discusses key concepts of the Christian worldview including creation, fall, redemption, and consummation. It defines a worldview as a framework through which people view the world. The creation section notes how Genesis describes humans being made in God's image to be responsible for the earth. It discusses how everything God made was good. The fall section notes how rebellion led to broken relationships between humanity and God, each other, creation, and a loss of shalom.
This document discusses information security as a key competence that should be taught in education frameworks and curricula. It outlines several frameworks that reference information security concepts, including protecting confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, availability, and reliability of information. The document proposes implementing information security education through learning tasks and a planning grid for lower secondary education. It argues that information security is ubiquitous and important for students to learn about given humans' vulnerability in the digital world.
The document contains four passages from the book of Isaiah in the English Standard Version translation. It also contains summaries of those same passages from the Targum and the Isaiah Scroll found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. The passages discuss servants who will bring justice and salvation. They describe a servant who will not cry out or break the bruised reed, and who will establish justice on earth. They also describe a suffering servant who is despised and afflicted yet bears the sins of many.

Thousands of refugees from Mali have crossed the border into Niger due to conflict, greatly increasing the population of Sinegodar village and overwhelming its limited resources. Most refugees have no shelter and sleep outside, sharing the village's single, unsafe water well among over 8,000 people. The village has just one nurse and no medicine, endangering the lives of newborn babies. While villagers are welcoming refugees, the region is extremely poor and faces hunger, requiring emergency aid including shelter, water, and medical care.
The powerful earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010 killed over 230,000 people and left millions homeless. In the aftermath, donations helped provide emergency shelter, water, and sanitation for thousands of people living in displacement camps. While challenges remain due to the destruction of infrastructure and land records, organizations continue efforts to build earthquake-resistant housing and help farmers reduce future disaster risks, with the goal of ensuring people in Haiti can live with dignity.

Emergency relief was provided to over 13 million people, including food or nutritional support to over 200,000 and clean water access for over 180,000 through well drilling and water source improvements. Cash-for-work schemes also helped people earn money for food and community improvements. While November rains helped in most areas and aid is making a difference, critical food shortages remain in many locations.
Typhoon Washi hit Mindanao island in the southern Philippines in December 2011, causing devastating floods and landslides that killed almost 1,000 people and widespread damage to homes and farms. Relief teams hiked down impassable roads to reach remote villages along the Mandulog River that had been swept away by the floods. Villagers stood by the remains of their homes, with some having only a single sheet that survived, as crops and coconut and banana farms near the river were also partially destroyed. People's immediate needs included temporary shelter, building materials, tools, food and improved access to water as relief organizations pledged funds to support remote communities as they rebuild.

2. Picture my World is about children talking directly to other children about their lives across cultures. Through taking photos, children living in Cambodia and the UK can share what is important to them with their global neighbours.
3. CAFOD has run photo workshops with children between 9-13 years old in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and Wakefield, UK to help them think about elements of their daily life they would like to share with others.
4. Through photos and words, the children have built a picture of their lives and can share their feelings and opinions about the people and places around them.
13. CAFOD supports local groups who work with children in Cambodia. Although Cambodia is famous for its natural beauty and temples, almost one in three people live on less than 45 cents a day – that’s about 27p.
14. With the support of the Catholic community in the UK, CAFOD helps children in Cambodia to go to school.
15. We also ensure that their families and other people living in the community can get medicine when they are unwell and help them find a safe place to live.
16. At CAFOD we believe that by understanding each other we can take positive steps to a more fair and peaceful world. In many places children’s voices are rarely heard, but this project places children at the centre.
17. “ The idea is that young people can learn about different communities around the world through the eyes of people their own age.
18. “ Normally we only glimpse the world from an adult perspective, but this project empowers young people to tell their own stories.” Victoria Ahmed, CAFOD schools co-ordinator
19. “ I have really enjoyed learning to use the camera to share things about my life. Now I want to learn about children of my age in Cambodia through the photos they will take, such as where they learn, where they live and the sports they like.” Wakefield photographer.
20. Find out more about CAFOD’s innovative project for children. Meet the photographers at Picture my World
