A Longitudinal Analysis of the Relations Among Professional Development,Educators’ Beliefs and Perceived Skills,and Response-to-Intervention Implementation

ABSTRACT

Professional development is a critical systems-level intervention thought to facilitate Response-to-Intervention (RtI) implementation. The current study examined the relations between professional development, educator outcomes, and problem-solving implementation within an RtI framework using growth curve modeling. School leadership teams from pilot schools (n = 34) participated in 3 years of training. Pilot schools also received job-embedded coaching. Comparison schools (n = 27) provided a referent group. Results indicated that problem-solving implementation increased faster at pilot schools (β = 0.10, SE = 0.05, t = 2.03, p < .05). In addition, beliefs regarding data-based decision-making (β = 0.36, SE = 0.17, t = 2.13, p < .05) and perceived problem-solving skills applied to academics (β = 0.30, SE = 0.10, t = 3.07, p < .01) positively related to implementation. Implications include the needs to further explore professional development activities and for consultants to utilize evidence-based professional development principles when supporting RtI implementation.     

城市饮用水水源污染管理对策

我国许多城市地表水饮用水水源均受到不同程度的轻度乃至较重污染（统称为微污染）。虽然城市污水处理厂建设迅速。但排入水体的污染物总量依然很高，导致下游城市地表水饮用水水源原水高锰酸盐指教严重超标，CODcr在30～50mg／L左右甚至更高，NH3-N在0．5～1．5mg／L左右，水质评价为近Ⅳ类乃王Ⅳ类水体。开辟优质新水源没有现实意义，原水的好氧预处理对新建和老水厂保障饮用水供水的稳定优质和安全性具有重要意义。下向流曝气生物连池（DBAF）有去除原水中CODcr、SS、BOD5、脱色、除浊、除嗅味等功能。同时有非常好的去除氨氮效果，并具有运行稳定、占地面积小、操作灵活、运行费用低、自动化程度高等特点，是城市饮用水水源污染管理中最好的对策。

从武王伐纣看《大武》乐诗篇及其顺序

《大武》乐是周代编制的歌颂武王伐纣的歌舞作品,其内容与武王伐纣的历史事实在一定程度上相符。对于《大武》乐篇章及其顺序,从唐代时期直至当代均存在较多争议,值得进一步梳理。按照武王伐纣的历史过程,可将《大武》乐分为六诗,诗章先后顺序当为：《武》《酌》《赉》《般》《时迈》和《桓》。     

学科教师网志行为案例分析

本文主要通过案例实证的研究方式,选择一个地区网络教研社群"小学语文"30位学科教师的网志,从一般网志功能应用行为、学科教学日志内容写作行为、学科教师之间交流行为三个方面,分析学科教师网志行为发生的实际数据,来获得对网志技术应用现状水平的认识和了解,从而为学科教师、学科教研活动组织如何更有效利用和发挥网志各种功能与价值提供参考和建议。同时也从研究方法与思路上,为教育网志的分析研究提供参考。     

Multi-sensor image registration using multi-resolution shape analysis

INTRODUCTION Image registration plays an important role in the fusion of remote sensing, video panorama, medical image processing, etc. (Li et al., 1995; 2004; Brown, 1992; Belongie et al., 2001; Rui et al., 2001). More different than video panorama, the registration of multi-sensor image needs to align the multi-sensor images of the same scene from different sources (Rignot et al., 1991). Multi-sensor image registration is widely used in the fusion of panchromatic images with infrared i…     

Data-driven facial animation based on manifold Bayesian regression

INTRODUCTION Realistic facial animation is highly important in the computer graphics field as it is an essential facility for human-computer interface and virtual reality and is also a difficult task because there are so many non-rigid motions besides rigid motion of heads as expression changes. Instead of modelling all the complicated facial motions, data-driven facial ani- mation just exploits facial motion data captured in real scenes. Most motion capture systems rely upon the placement…     

Audio steganalysis based on ＂negative resonance phenomenon＂ caused by steganographic tools

INTRODUCTION With the rapid progress in the Internet and ex- panded area of multimedia technology, steganogra- phy and steganalysis as subfields of information se- curity have developed rapidly and drawn more and more attention. Steganography is the art of hiding and transmitting data through apparently innocuous car- riers in an effort to conceal the existence of the secret data (Peticolas et al., 1999). While steganalysis, the countermeasure to steganography, is an art that de- tects ev…     

Invasion and control of water hyacinth （Eichhornia crassipes） in China

INTRODUCTION Water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) was first introduced from South America into China as a good fodder plant in 1901, and had become a serious en- vironmental problem in China by the early 21st cen- tury (Ding et al., 2001). Of the total loss of USD 7 billion brought about by foreign weed species in China, water hyacinth occupies the major proportion. The large coverage of this weed on water would re- duce sunlight penetration and lower oxygen content in water, which ha…
