The Metal Trades

Universities and schools are struggling with the critical issues surrounding teacher quality, student learning, and the gap between research and practice. This study employed a collective case-study design to explore the impact of leadership teams and school-university partnerships on teacher leadership, professional development, and overall participant dispositions of three grant-funded projects connected by their approach to implementing school reform.

An Irish dialogue with an English ending

The Lincoln‐Douglas debates of 1858 are models not of statesmanship and eloquence, as is sometimes thought, but of strategies and tactics of rhetorical invention in the context of the public forum. The debates were marked by four patterns of argument: conspiratorial, legal, historical, and moral. The dynamics of each pattern are explored and speculations are offered about the transformation of controversial questions in the crucible of public debate.

正西方人喜欢将古怪的行为与满月联系在一起。例如,在中世纪,人们声称月圆之夜可能会使人类变成"狼人"。到了18世纪,许多人又认为月圆之夜可能会导致癫痫或高烧。这种观念甚至还体现在造词上,英语单词"lunatic"(疯子、精神病人)的词根"Luna"就是古罗马神话中月亮女神的名字。在今天,大部分人都恢复了理智,我们不再将灾难与疾病归因于月相变化,但有时你仍能听到人们用它来解
