鬼节快乐？

一个狂野的圣诞形象凶神恶煞般地回归了。克朗普斯的名字来自“claw”（爪子）这个单词，是会把淘气的孩子抓走装在麻袋里的魔鬼。几世纪以前在阿尔卑斯山的村落中很是流行，克朗普斯把孩子们吓得够呛——血红长舌让恐惧升级——教导孩子们恶魔会在好的事物前屈服。     

自然界的平衡

自然界的平衡是一种十分精密复杂而又敏感脆弱的抑制与反抑制体系，它总是随着气候条件的变化，随着新的生物体的形成，和随着动植物蔓延入新的地区而持续不断地变化着。可是，在过去．这些变化大部分是很缓慢的。而自从文明人出现以后，变化的速度便增大了很多倍。用以测量它们的时间标度，已经从适用于自然演化过程的、以一万年或十万年为计量单位的时间标度．转变成人类所使用的、以几百年甚至几十年为计量单位的时间标度。     

放手

莎士比亚说：再好的东西都有失去的一天。再深的记忆也有淡忘的一天。再相爱的人，也有放手的一天。爱不能成为牵绊，所以要选择放手，从容的让彼此走出彼此的世界。其实爱过，就会懂。     

Fostering Spirituality in a Pastoral Care Context

This article addresses the issue of promoting spirituality as a dimension of pastoral care in schools. The everyday practice of caring and giving may leave carers tired, depleted of spiritual sustenance, and without practices that nurture their spirituality. This article proposes that spirituality is an essential element of pastoral care, and that it can be promoted through examination of one's sense of vocation, bodywork, journal writing and nurturing soul friends.

Developing a comprehensive model of risk and protective factors that can predict spelling at age seven: findings from a community sample of Victorian children

The paper reports on a study designed to develop a risk model that can best predict single-word spelling in seven-year-old children when they were aged 4 and 5. Test measures, personal characteristics and environmental influences were all considered as variables from a community sample of 971 children. Strong concurrent correlations were found between single-word spelling and single-word reading while expressive language and, to a lesser extent, receptive language were less strongly correlated. Predictors of single-word spelling at ages 4 and 5 were dominated by child-related factors such as letter knowledge, a history of speech impairment and expressive language along with maternal word reading ability. Based on the strength of the predictive factors identified at both age 4 and 5, our results provide initial support for using a targeted model for screening pre-schoolers at risk of not mastering spelling in a timely manner.     

Getting in,getting on,going further: Exploring the role of employers in the degree apprentice to graduate transition

Transitions from education into work, or as part of career change and development, are increasingly central to policy debate and academic inquiry. However, the role that employers play in shaping transition is often overlooked. In this paper, we examine this issue through the experiences of a graduating cohort of ‘degree apprentices’. We present original analysis of new empirical data from what we believe to be the first substantive qualitative longitudinal research conducted with those experiencing this new vocational pathway in the English Apprenticeships system. Through analysis of repeat semi-structured interviews with 22 degree apprenticeship graduates (44 interviews in total), we provide early empirical insights into experiences of this new pathway and add to existing theoretical conceptualisations of transition within the educational literature and the employer's role within it. We show that the degree apprentice to graduate transition can be broken down into three key stages: ‘getting in’, ‘getting on’ and ‘going further’, and that employers—at both strategic and relational levels—shape experiences at each stage.
