Title I: The Evolving Research Base

For the past 35 years, Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act has been the largest and most important federal resource for reforming high-poverty schools. Drawing on recent research, this article documents what we know about Title I's overall effectiveness and discusses how it may become a more effective intervention. The author concludes by making 3 policy recommendations for fostering better research and better programs: implement a rigorous and uniform national accountability system; support continued research and development of replicable programs and methods for improving schooling for disadvantaged children; and encourage large-scale randomized experiments of promising programs and practices.     

Social issues in high school biology textbooks: 1963– 1983

Twenty-two high school biology textbooks published between 1963 and 1983 were analyzed for their treatment of social issues. Textbooks were selected from among those used most frequently by teachers and/or having the highest sales. The textbooks were read in random order and the amount of space, to the nearest tenth of a page, devoted to each social issue was expressed as a percentage of total length of text. The results showed that attention to social issues decreased between 1963 and 1983 in the textbooks studied. The implications of these results for biology education in the 1980s are discussed.     

Title I and School--Family--Community Partnerships: Using Research to Realize the Potential

Title I's requirements for parent and community involvement in both schoolwide programs and targeted assistance schools, along with requirements for funding such involvement, challenge Title I schools to think seriously about and to plan for involvement that will help make a difference in children's learning. In this article, we (a) review the requirements and how they may be interpreted (especially the requirement for school-parent contracts); (b) briefly summarize recent research on the effects of school-family partnerships on students, teachers, and parents; and (c) discuss two major research-based comprehensive programs for building school-family-community partnerships that provide a foundation upon which Title I schools could develop, in conjunction with parents, their own comprehensive and effective programs.     

培养和选拔优秀中青年干部的战略思考

我国是发展中的社会主义国家，苏东剧变的经验教训以及当前国内外的态势都要求我国应当把培养和选拔优秀中青年干部作为我们党和国家坚持社会主义道路的一项既重要又紧迫的战略任务。应当排除培养和选拔优秀中青年干部片面的，错误的观念，建立起一套科学和完整的标准和制度。一要德才兼备，但不求全责备，二要讲资历，但更要重能力，三要讲台阶，但不唯台阶，四要任人唯贤，不任人唯亲，五要坚持标准，但又不拘一格。     

国内外语类学术论文摘要体裁分析

学术论文摘要作为一种特殊的语篇体裁,可以吸引读者并且为其提供主要研究内容。该文从体裁分析角度出发,对国内40篇外语类期刊摘要进行分析。研究重点在摘要内的语步结构。结果表明：中国学术论文摘要多使用IMRD模式,而CARS模式和综合模式相对出现频率低一些。分析得出的体裁知识有助于国内论文作者和学生提高摘要体裁意识,写出符合国际学术规范的中文摘要。
