Dr. Fred C. Lunenburg, Escalation of Commitment - Published in the INTERNAT...William Kritsonis
This article discusses the concept of escalation of commitment, which is when decision makers continue investing in a failing course of action. The classic example given is "throwing good money after bad". Several real-world cases of escalation are provided, such as the Shoreham Nuclear Power Plant and Tokyo subway system. Escalation can occur due to self-justification, where decision makers do not want to admit a prior decision was wrong. The article concludes that escalation of commitment is a common decision-making error that can lead organizations to suffer large losses by persisting with failing courses of action.

Lunenburg, fred c. reframing the role of school leaders nfeasj v27 n4 2010William Kritsonis
The role of the school leader has shifted from a hierarchical, bureaucratic model to one focused on empowering teachers, students, and parents through site-based decision making and professional learning communities. Effective modern school leaders share leadership, empowering teachers to lead initiatives rather than acting as sole problem solvers. They facilitate collaborative decision making and development of a professional learning community focused on continuous improvement.

ENT Day 2 Apostle Paul and the Hopes of IsraelJonathan Swales
The document discusses Paul's view of the "Hope of Israel" and how it relates to concepts in the Old Testament like the Temple, YHWH, and the Holy Spirit. It examines several passages from Paul's letters citing Old Testament scriptures on topics such as the indwelling of God/Christ through the Spirit, the Spirit as a deposit or down payment of the believer's inheritance, and the Spirit enabling believers to endure suffering as they await final salvation. The document argues the Spirit represents the fulfillment of Jewish eschatological hopes and empowers believers to live boldly as they wait for the future consummation.
This article provides a critical analysis of Albert Bandura's 1963 paper, "Imitation of Film-Mediated Aggressive Models", which established social learning theory as an explanation for aggressive behavior. It summarizes Bandura's classic "Bobo doll" experiment and the foundations of social learning theory. While praising Bandura's influential work, it also notes shortcomings of the early study. Finally, it explores applications of social learning theory to factors like race, gender, and age, and their implications for understanding human aggression.

This document reflects on the role of software tools in informatics teaching based on a study in Austrian secondary schools. Some key points:
- Software tools play a dominant role in informatics education and their use is interwoven with teaching underlying concepts.
- A survey of Austrian teachers found a wide variety of tools used, with Microsoft Office being most common in 9th grade and databases, web design tools, and programming languages used more in 10th-12th grades.
- Many teachers are interested in training on specific software products. Their tool use focuses on both application software like Office and development software like programming languages.
This document is a presentation by Neha Singh about her life over the past year. It describes how last year she had many issues including no money, so she picked trash, and struggled in school with no help on homework because her parents couldn't read. However, this year things have improved - she now has tutors to help her study, enjoys playing baseball with Carl Ripken Jr., can play on a sports team, and her photography has gone professional with exhibitions. While she still lives in a slum and helps her parents earn money, she now has more hope and opportunities through Empowerment International.

The floods in Pakistan in 2010 affected 18 million people, destroying homes, infrastructure, and livelihoods. Over the past two years, aid organizations worked to provide emergency relief through food, water, and shelter. Long-term efforts focused on rebuilding communities by constructing new homes, cleaning schools, employing people in reconstruction, and helping families regain self-sufficiency through activities like providing seeds, goats, and support for disabled people. Thanks to donations, over 385,000 flood-affected people received assistance.

This document summarizes Texas school discipline, suspension, and expulsion policies. It outlines the grounds and procedures for removing students from class by teachers, suspending students, placing students in disciplinary alternative education programs, and expelling students. Key points include that teachers can remove disruptive students from class, principals can suspend students for up to 3 days, and offenses like drugs, weapons or violent crimes can result in DAEP placement or expulsion.

This document summarizes a case study of a failed school-university collaboration between professors at a rural university and teachers at a suburban high school. The collaboration aimed to mentor novice teachers but faced several challenges that prevented its continuation. These included the busy schedules of teachers and administrators, different class schedules between undergraduate and graduate programs, unexpected university meetings, long travel distances, and differing priorities between university professors and teachers. The authors conclude with recommendations for improving future school-university collaborations, such as examining university policies, better organizing departmental tasks, using technology to reduce travel, and selecting collaborators located closer to the university.
This document contains excerpts from various primary sources that discuss the hope of Israel returning from exile and being restored to their homeland.
